The Need OF the Hour.

The danger OF the campaign is the
confi,ierce our friends ieel that the
election Of Horace Greeley is so much
desired bv the masses that it will be
accomplished without the ordinary
campaign work. The reports sent
abroad every day that this and
that prom ent Republican has de-
clared Tor Greeley. together with the
well cOroboratei reports OF changes in
the masses, may well END to over con-
idence, aud prevent that vigorous or
ganization without which no great
revolution was ever successful. The
various State Committees and the Ma
tional Committee as well, seem to be
bending their energits to the secondary
LABOR OF s.nding out documents and
speakers. There is another labor that
should precede this, without which no
SPEAKER or document has fair effect
There should first be- full orsanizs-
ton in every CoDgressioal D strict, with
minor organizations IN counles, town
ships aud voting precincts. Without
this the campaign has no unity, and
90 effort Is assisted by any preceding
or succeeding effort. This sort OF organ
izstion is needed TO enable the strong TO
help the weak, and to give opportunity
Tor the activity OF all. We say to our
friends everywhere over all the land,
org,nize, organize at once, and upon
Your own resources, as far as possible
Let every organic ,tion from the Safe
TO the school precinct be sel.supporling
so far as it may. Let no organ alton
call Tor aid when it il able to aid itself
and others. The organization that
needs aid should promptly hsveit. All
who believe 10 the watchword Reform
should form one great organized body.
-Neao York Tribune.
These are timely words and should
be needed everywhere. 1t is a fatal
mistake in war, and no less in politics.
TO uuderrate your adversary. In Nlr-
ginis no one doubts the sentiments Of a
large majority OF our people. Ninety
nine-hundredths of the white people
either cheeriully acquiesce in or enthu
siastrcally support the Liberal move
ment. Most OF them hail it "a almost
sProvidential interpnsition for Southern
deliverance and national reconciliation.
This wide spread conviction of the
omnipotence OF the cause has begot an
over confidence, which in turn has led
TO inertness and to neglect
Of proper organization. This slste Of
feeling may lead to bad results. We
must correct it at once, and in every
township in every county, the party
should 60 to work forthwith; organize
and take steps tor getting every voter to
the polls. We cannot afford to neglect
any means OF self.defense and safety,
while there is solid vote Of ninety
thousand negroes subject TO orders from
headquarters, and which may at any
moment be welded against US. We
know that among the intelligent ne
groes OF the State, there is strong dispo.
sition to vote for Mr. Greeley, but
this cannot be relied on. The
clas, and race feeling. with orders from
that AWFUL headquarters" may prove
resisless We must trust to ourselves,
and we must spare no means for self
presentations. We are aware that some
Of The Radical leaders rely upon
question not yoli'ical to neutralize the
votes of many Conservatives. They are
making vehement, If not loud, profess
sions Of their determination to give
reliei to the people, and they hope these
pro DECISIONS may avail them. We have
come very decided views on that sub
ject ourselt, and our advice to all our
people is to give no heed to Radical
promises. Let Us first scatter them to
the tour winds sod dispel the dark
cloud which overhangs u, and then We
can take our affairs into our own hands
But until,that danger 70 removed, our
hands are tied, and We can do nothing
for our well being. That extinguissed
by the election OF Greeley, and We are
masters Of our own destinies.-Rieh-
