The vote Mr.. Schater received he ha


reason to be proud Of. All kinds Of slanderi


were circulated agains: him." &c.-JT.


We heard no slander reported against Mr.


Schater, unless the truth be regarded in tha


light: and ore half of that not told


We have no disposition now, after the elec


ton, TO complain of Mr. S. as personal te


him; but to refer to his course TO show to


what degree the official position he occupied


was prostituted. On several evenings be


visited doggefies in this city for the pur-
pose of giving naturalization papers to for
eigners for the purpose of securing their
votes. There is at least a doubt Of the legal
ity of such papers. An office has been pro-


yided for the transaction Of the business nee
o ssary to be performed by the Clerk, and the
law certainly contemplates that all legal
business shall be done in the place where the
Records are kept. A Judge might as well
open his court in doggery as that the CLERK
should go there to transact the business OF
his office. We are in favor Of every ore
who is entitled to naturalization papers hav-
ing them, but we are not IN favor OF a CLERK
of the Court going around and seeking TO
confer this right for his own and his party S
success. We should at least like to see the
legality OF those papers tested before com
petent court.


1t is to be hoped that the Republican party
viii profit by the late canvass, for they must
now see the advantages taken by the democ
raey from their holding the Office OF Clerk
The contest Of next year is one Of too much
interest not to be fought at every point and
with every advantage that be obtained,
and we arc in favor Of an early thorough
ganization which shall include every man
" ho is opposed to the party now in power.
and to the men who are now charged or may
hereafter be charged by them to carry them
out. Lctthe Republican party of old Wayne
be organized by Central Committee with
auxiliary committees in every township and
school district-let the great principles OF hui
man freedom be discussed. and the slavery
extension policy OF The democrats exposed
let Us engage in this work with determined
and high resolve that the true principles upon
which our government was established be
carried out. We may differ upon minor
points and mere questions of exPedlency.
but let US labor for the paramount interests
Of our party. aud we will next year speak 10
no common tone the dlsapprobatlon OF the
people as to the policy which is now destroy
ing year by year the tights and Liberties of
the people.


Some one may suggest that we wait until
we learn who shall BE- nominated for Presi-
dent. It matters but little who is the man,
so lis principles are correct. Now Is the
time to commence the work. Not day
should be lost We will soon be called upon .
to hold county meeting to appoint delegates
10 a State Convention to nominate candidates
for State officers, and delegates 70 National
Convention. Let that day be fixed upon as
the occasion for commencing this great work
in good earnest. We hope the Central Com
miltee will soon fix upon a day '"' ,hat meet
ING. and unite all, all the people who are op-
posed to the corruptions of the Democratic
party to attend and unite in one strong effort
d rescue our country an ! its free institutions
from the grasp of its spoilers.
