!, ALIENATION OF PARTIES.
Q The most serious consequences to tn
Patrons, If they plunge into a separate
I political action. will be the alienation
of both the Republican and Democratic
parties. When they once launch thei
! political barque they will have M
right to expect favors from those par
ties-but, on the contrary, the mos
determined opposition on the stump
in the press, at the polls, and in the
halls of legislation. The Republican
party has too glorious a record, and
has saved the people in too many hard
fought battles to surrender the field to
any party or faction with but one
plank in their platform. Many Pat
rons, will never, in violation of their
former pledges, abandon the proud
banner of the Republican party, to
follow the lead of few such men who
hope for preferment and honor by the
disruption OF party which has saved
the country from rebellion aud the
public treasury from pillage. This,
too, will cause diversion in the ranks
of the new movement.
GRANGE TICKET.
The rash aud inconsiderate of the
Patrons are now demanding clamor-
ously for rushing headlopg into poll
ties, and for nominating separate State
and County tickets. There is cause
for this, in their estimation. There
are interested elements which are
tanning the flames, aud feeding the
fires. which if their counsels prevail.
will soon engulf the whole organiza-
ton in ruins. The calm and ieasona-
bic those, who. from past history can
see the end from the beginning OF this
suicidal policy, will resoIutely refuse
10 take any part or lot in the matter.
Adhering Loyalty to the Constitution

most money, will enjoy all the fruits.
ADHERE TO OLD PARTIES.
Those Republicans who recognize
that all our hopes, nationally aud
politically, for the future depend on
the perpetuity and Stability of that
party which has safely carried Us
through 50 many storms, will be re-
luctant 10 follow any other standard. /
They lave other hopes and interests,
beside the regulation of railroad tar
IFS, to look alter, and nowhere can
they expect TO find party with such
broad and liberal principles, faith
July lived up TO, as in The Republican
party. It is folly to expect or ask such
party 10 abandon its organization for
another party with one idea. Then
are the Patrons ready 10 break iances
with that honored party, and incur all
Its opposition, in the field and in Leg
islation? 1t is we'll to consider these
things calmly. Cannot more good be
done by remaining in the party to
which the Patrons severally belong,
and there exert their influence in
moulding the great political parties
into immense engines Of power, to
carry out the great object proposed by
the Agricultural movement bow en-
crossing public attention?
WILL THEY RISK IT?
1.-the political Changers are deter
mined to break away from their old
political associations-rushr ashly over
the constitution Of the Order-defy
the opposition u secret po!tica! socie-
tles-brave the opposition Of the old
established parties-enter into a fight
unequalled In yirulence by any con
test for years throw their banner TO
the breeze with one plank, inscribed
with the names Of new and untried
men, they viii call down upon their
heads swift destruction, merited and
timely. They will have but few old
and accredited stumpers To defend
their banner in the canvass-hut few
presses, if any, to defend their cause
before the peope-but little means to
meet the enormous demands of 4 spir
tied canvass-with divided councils al
home, aud With ctitaiu defeat in the
future. Are the Patrons prepared to
meet this issue
WHAT SHOULD THEY Doo
They now have the cor,lia good will
and sympathy Of all political parties.
These parties are ready to give the
desired aid, when not bought up, or
defeated BY chicanerv at the ballot
box. The Changers are now strong
enough, If they will adhere to their
Old party organizations, and will vigil
lantly work therein, to control nearly
every county in the State. When
their township caucuses are called. if
they are on hand and take an active
part in the proceedings, as they will
have right to do, candidates can be
selected who have never bowed the
knee to Baal. If, however, they aban-
don that party, they will have no right
there, and all the influence ia favor Of
the farmers interest will be with
drawn, and just such legislature as
the railroads want will be elected for
