Preparation for 1860.
The following article from the New York

" , Tribune came to hand just as we had the

same subject matter under consideration, and
being so much better and more fully stated
than we could have done it, we give it entire
in lieu of our own article :

A Homely Talk.

' There is a very old legend importing that,
once upon a time, the human race united in a
general agreement that they would, each and
all, on a predetermined day, hour and 11101119116
raise one unanimous and universal shout,just
to see how" loud a. noise they could make.
Various were the speculations put forth as to
themagnitude and potency of that anticipated
shout-some affirming. others denying 01'
doubting, that it would shatter Window glass
stun flying birds-and cause them to drop to
the. earth, shake trees, be heard at the moon,
and so on. At lest the long-expected. anx-
iously-awaited moment came—when lo! the
‘ deepest, deadest; silence that had ever been
known or imagined! Every‘ y listened to
hear the awful roar—nobody eat a voice to
make or swell it—that is, none but one deaf
and dumb old woman who.was goaded by the
excitement of the occasion into an uncouth,
inarticulate cry. In short, there was never a
more disastrous failure prior to the entrance
upon the political arena of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel Committee, . .

The moral of this legend presses irresisti-
hly upon us in view of the Presidential con-
testjust before us. The almost universal ex-
pectation presages a Republican National
triumph in November, 1860. Thousands as-
sume such triumph as a fixed fact, and some
doubtless, are already speculating as to their
personal status in the new dispensation at
hand. But that a very ardent and even des-
perate struggle is to proceed the triumph so
sanguinely anticipated—that the wolf is to be
caught before his skin can safely be sold— that
seems to be very generally discredited or no—
heeded. .

- Nearly six months ago. we believe, the
Republican National Committee appealed to
the prominent and able supporters of the cause
to place it in funds, not for the contest of
1860, but for the proper enlightenment of the
People in view of' the contest and wrth espcc

in] reference to the preliminary State skirm-
ishes of 1859, We understand that not a
dozen persons took any sort of notice of that
appeal, and not even a. thousand dollars was
contributed in response to it.

' Nine or ten months ago. a number of earn-
est and active Republicans of this city united
in an apeal to their fellow Republicanr for aid
in an effort to print and circulate Ore Hun-
dred Thousand copies of Mr. R. Helper’s
admirable “Impending Crisis of the South”
...a work which exhibits more clearly and
forcibly the economical and social evils of"
Slavery—is demoralizing and destructive
influences on the communities which cherish
it—than any other in existence. The usual
cavil against Anti-Slavery works that the
author " talks of what he knows nothing
about” is wholly inapplicable to this—Mr.
Helper being a Southron by birth and breed-
in . As this edition of his work is to be sold
for the bare cost of materials and printing—-
$16 perhundred copies of a book largely sold
for a dollar—and as each subscriber of $20 or
over to the fund may 'claim and receive the
number of copies that his money pays for, to
be disseminated as he shall see fit—the matter
ought to have been closed ,in amonth. and the
copies long since in the hands of a million
readers. Eight or ten months hence, we pro-
sume twice or thrice the number contemplated
would be subscribed and paid for ; but it will
then betoo late to do much good in the contest
of 1860. Yet,up to this hout,hardly more than
ahundred persons have contributed to this
effort, and nor a third of the required sum has
been given Yet were One Million copies of
Mr. Helper’s work properly circulated we do
not believe another Slavery Propagandist
would ever be chosen President of the United
States. What is the cost of such a distribu-
tion in view of its effect?

Four years ago to day, it was entirely with-
in the power of the Repuplicans to win the
Presidential Election of 1856, Indeed had
the men whom the majestic Free-State upris-
ing of'1854 threw into Congress been uniformly
equal to the requirements of their position, it
.was hardly possibly then to lose it. Had
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois,
been thoroughly. systematically supplied
through 1856‘ with document and jOUrnals ex-
plaining the principles and grounds of the
Republican movement. no practicable, no
amount of fraud could have defeated us at the
Presidential Election of that year: But near
ly half our members of Congress had been
dabbling in the foolery of Know Nothingism,
and acted as ifthey did not know that to be
one of the bubbles which form and break, and
pass away like the bubbles on a brawling
stream. They withheld from their constitu
cuts the information which alone could have
re-elected- them, and found, when too late.
that they were trying to ride a log which the
morning sun could not help dissipating. They
threw away the golden moment and threw
away the election of 1856

That blunder cannot be repeated ; but the
danger of indolence and inaction based on
overwhelming confidence of success is immi-
nant to-day. It must he averted by instant and
energetic effort. '

Republicans of every State! we tell you
that the result of the Election of 1860 is not
yet decided—that it will be adverse to your
hopesand expectations if you do not work.-
Do you imagine that those who control and
largely profit by the expenditure of the Fede-
ral Government’s Sixty _Millions of Revenue
per annum will surrender them without a
struggle more determined andtvying than any
you have ever known? They can richly‘ afford
to spend many dollars to your one ; they will
do it in 1860 ,as they did in ’56, when Penn-
sylvania, fully prepared, only a fortnight be-
fore the eventful day, to give Ten Thousand
for us at her October State Election was made
to give, or seem to, give, Two Thousand
against us on that day. Money, suborning
Fraud, did this ; and Money will do the like
again unless you begin now to create a public
sentiment which will render Money useless
and Fraud hopeless in the final stages of the
contest. Your hundreds of dollars can only
overhear your adversaries’ thousands by being
wisely applied now,

, . What .is urgently needed to-day is substan-
tially as follows:

1. The formation in every County at the

" County seat or some equally commanding

‘location, of a Republican Campaign 011.,
, composed of all who are willing to work for
a.Republican triumph in 1860. Ifflicre is a
live County Committee, let that be deferred
to man things ; but two-thirds of the County
‘ 'Committee even where such practically exist,
are-dead as Julius Caesar. A live Club at

- .; every-.County seat is indispensable, and it

. ought _to be formed at once. Let its books be

open to all who will join, but let an Executive

: Committee be chosen by it composm’ of men

who will certainly put heart and brain into
the work: . -

2. The moment such a Ccmmittec is consti-

tuted.lct each member of it set to work. by

’ correspondence and personal visitation, to in-

cite the formation of similar Clubs in every
township and village of the County, and at
the County seats of other Counties.

3. Let each County Club e'mploy,so soon
as may be, a competent and trustworthy
‘Agent or Actuary, to traverse the County,
urging the formation of kindred Clubs; and

4. ,Make arrangements. at once with the best
Republican journals. giving the preference to
those of your own County,for supplying their
respective sheets for the ensuing year. at the
lowest possible cash price. Let itbe the busi-
ness of each Club, and the special duty of the
County Agent or Actuary, to get. a good Re-
publican paper subscribed and paid for by
every person in the County who can be in-
duced to take one. Have specimens of all
the journals at hand, and let every man take
that which he prefers, but try to strengthen
the local journals as much as possible, Of"
course, we mean Good journals, conducted by
editors of unquestionable ability. intelligence
and integrity, as we trust most. Republican
journals are. To circulate any others is to
damage seriously the cause you desire to pro
mote. But, having procured specimens of the
best, let a united, systematic effort be prompt-
ly made to put one into the hands of every
voter who can be induced to pay the lowest
cash price for it. And if there be anv one
who, by reason of some Providential affliction
is unable to pay. be sure that he has a copy
supplied him without charge, and is thanked
for taking it.

5. Let the County Club open a correspond-
mice: at once with your Member of Congress,
if a Republican; if he is not then with the

lepuhl can Member Who lives nearest ; "and
have him forwnf'll the most important Speeches
and Docnincu is to those whose names you will
furnish. lion". ask him to pay for them-out
of his own pocket but send him a few dollars
to sever the cost of paper and printing :, he
will gladly do his part of the work for noth-
ing. But even though you should be too poor

or to mean. to pay for the documents, send

him the names.

All this you say, will cost something. Yes
it certainly will. nd if‘wc are not prepared
to pay something we cannot take the Treasury
out of the bands which now clutch it. and we,
may just as well give it up first as last. But
we believe there are very few County seats in
the Free States wherein ten to a hundred men
cannot be found who will cheerfully contrib-
ute what may be necessary for the purposes
we have indicated. Let the work begin there
and the towns will take itup and do their
share of it. If there be one where nobody
paysjust as sure as you live there will. within
two days after we elect a Republican Presi-
dent bc three or four papers circulating in
that town in recommendation of A. B.- and C.
for Postmaster and if there be any in which
the Republicans are too indolent and mean to
‘start a Club at all, the recommendation paper
af'orcs id will probably be slyly circulated
beore lcctiou, so as to tike time by the
lorelock. We judge of what will be from
what has been.

Republicans of every State! is it desirable
to succeed in 1860? If it is, then it is essen-
tial that we go to work now. We have gone
to work, and mean to keep at work till the
close of the polls in November. 1860. Some
of you can help in one way, some in another ;
but every one who feels a deep and lively in
terest in the cause must work if we are to wm
Be entrcated to begin at once!

one day last week, by falling through a trap-

were broken, we believe; but he was very
badly bruised and will probably be confined
to his house for several weeks.

Levees at Pheuix Hall.

By referring to adv. in this paperit will be.
seen that the Little Fairy, Dollie Dutton,
nine years old, twenty six inches hlgh,and
weighing only 13 pounds; gives Levees in
Phenix Hall Wednesday and Thursday at 3
and 7lo‘clock. The New Haven Papers state
that 10,000 persons attended her six days’ Le-
vces there. She attracted. the Boston papers
spy, forty thousand persons to her Levees du
ring the six weeks she remained - there. An
exchange says :

“If you wish to see a real Fairy, such as we
have heard of and read of in nursery stories .
go to the Levee of the Little Fairy, Miss Dol.
lie Dutton. and you will find the real will
come nearer to the ideal In this matter than
it exer did before. Gen. Tom Thumb is con-
sidered a. wonderful specimen of humanity,
but he,,as an Irishman would say, is only as
little as two of her, for he will weigh more
ihan two of little Dollie. This little Fairy.
nine years of' age. measures twenty six inches
in height, and is remarkably well proportion
rd every way. At ~the same time she is
bright,activc and intelligent, full of life and
>prighlliness. and always interests all who sci.-
her by her modest and winning behavior be-
fore the an icuce. In a physiological or
moral point of view she is a remarkable curi-
osity, and well worth the attention and exami-
nation of everybody. and no one who has seen
her has ever regretted the time spent in the
examination.”

A Bridgeport Mystery.
The Bridgeport Farmer, without giving

lady of that city who was deceived into mar-
rying a sccundrel from another State. and
who separated from him and returned to
Bridgeport, the fellow following her and an-
noying her in all sorts of ways. Last Satur-
day sho visited a friend in a neighboring town
and retired for the nigh-t. The next morning
she was not to be found. and it is supposed
her husband got at her, drugged her, and car'-
ricd her off.

munities of a citizen of the United States

Virginia and her authorities would be
weak indeed, weak in point of folly and
weak in point of power, if her. State faith
and constitutional obligations cannot be
redeemed in her own limits to the letter of
morality as well as oflaw.

MThe above are extracts from the Letter
'of Gov. Wrsn to Mrs. L. Maria Child. It
sounds all very wall, but from that, just turn
undesee how the local authorities of high chiv—
alrous,noble Virginia, act. Only think of a
Mayor (and one of the F. F. V’s) of a reputa-
ble city issuing such a proclamation as the
following, which has been promulgated by the
chief magistrate of. Charlestown l
A PROCLAMATION.

The Baltimore American,which ridicules
the alarm of the F. F. V’s, says:

“On the appearance of this proclama-
tion, Mr. Hoyt, who had returned to the
town, Mr. Senuott, one of the counsel for
the prisoners, and Mr. J ewett, connected
with Frank Leslie’s, received an intima-
tion from Col.Davis that they were among
the strangers whose presence were not
satisfactory to the people, and that their
personal safety would best be secured by
an early departure Mr. Sennott de-
clined leaving until he had concluded his
business. Mr. Hoyt had already made
arrangements for his departure before the
proclamation appeared, and he, with Mr
Jewctt, left there on Saturday Mr.JeWett
was suspected—unjustly, he declares-of
being the correspondent of the New York

Col. Fremont.

It was declared in some paper a week or
two since that Col, Fremont had written a
letter declining to be a candidate for the Pros-
idency in 1860, and that Horace Greeley
knew of the letter and Col. FJs determination:
The New York Tribune puts an extinguisher
upon the whole thing. Mr. Greeley knows of
no such letter, but he does know that Col.
Fremont will not decline a nomination that is
not made. -He is not a man to do things
rashly or precipitately , nor is be given to in.
discretions and errors such as often charac~
terize those who occupv elevated 'positions,
and no unwise or faulty letter will appear
from him, Judgment, caution. prudence and
discretion, as well as courage, firmness, decis-
ion and integrity are distinguishing traits of
this remarkable man.

W hethsr he will in 1860 be the standard
bearer of theRepublicans no one knows. That
he will seek the position will he believed by
no one who knows him; that he will avoid it
is equally improbable. Among the honored
and distinguished names that have been sug-
gested, perhaps no one is more prominent in
the people, though less has been said of him
than of some others by politicians, and espec-
ially by the politicians of the administration
party, Perhaps there is no one whom they so
much dread, and whom they 'a ould not rather
see in the field than John Charles Fremont.—
The gallant run which he made in 1856 has no
parallel in our politics, and was a tcirible
discomfiture and surprise to the mere polili
cians of every party. There is but one-analo-
gous case to it,,of a man not trained, and
drilled into position, who made such an irrup-
tion and inroad on old organizations, and
swept down mere partisan electioneera and
schemers, and that was in the great contest of
1824. when Andrew Jackson was first brought
forward, and like Fremont was defeated.—
Should the latter be again a candidate he
would be likely to vanquish his opponents
as he did the great Tennesseean.

But we know not that he will be nomina-
ted. Therc are other able Republican states-
men who might be named, either of whom
would, like Fremont, unite the Republicans.
It is a contest, on the part of Republicans, not
for men—not for spoils, but for the country
and great constitutional principles.—P_ress.

le-Tbc mobbing of the office of the

been briefly reported by telelgrapli. It
took place about 7; O’clock, on Friday
evening, Oct. 28th, at which time a mob
Of thirty persons entered the office and
proceeded to the work of demolition.
Mr. Bailey, the publisher, protested
against the proceedings of the mob, but
without efi'ect. After they had taken
out two of the “forms’ into the street,
and pied them,thc girls put out the lights
in the establishment, which induced them
to'suspend further demonstrations. As

he might consider this attack only a warn-
ing, and that if he did not Cease the pub-
lication of his paper, which they consid-
ered a nuisance, they would demolish his
entire office. Mr. Bailey’s paper was not
ultra, but rather moderate in tone, and
it is said that much sympathy is expressed
for him in Kentucky. The work in his
office was done mostly by members of

That ," Irrepreasible Conflict" in the
' Senate

Since the organization of the Republi-
can party of Freedom, the following pro.
slavery Democratic members of the U. S.
Senate have fallen in “irrepressible con-
flict,” their places being supplied by Re-
publicans : ,

Iowa;Jones and Dodge; Rhode Island—
James and Allen; Michigan—Cass and Stuart;
New J ersey—Wri ght ; Connecticut—Toucan
Wisconsin—-Dodge; l’ennsylvania—-Brod-
head; Ohio—Pugh; Minnesota—Shields.

In 1855 the Republicans had only 16
representatives in the United States San-
ate ; on the 4th of March, 1861, they
will have 27. In the last Congress the

 

 

they will have but 84, and perhaps not
even as many as that. .

The Pro-Slavery Democrats are at-
tempting to ridicule and ignore the “ ir-
repressible conflict,” while at the same
time it.is making terrible havoc among
their own lenders. and scattering their
party in the free states like chaff before
the wind. The Austrians were not more
cfi'ectuully worsted in the conflict'ut Ma-
genta than are the pro-slavery Democra-
cy by the “ irrepressible conflict” now
going on between freedom and slavery.

B' EVENTSaflE who are in the enjoyment of per-
fect health frequently have need to have recourse to
tonics as a preventative of disease. Wears never too
well armored against the assaults of “ the ‘ ills that
flesh is heir to.” Such an lnvigorator they may find
in HOSTETTER’S BMW, 2. medicine that cannot be
taken regularly without giving vitality and elasticity to
thesystem. At this season particularly the strongest
man is not proof against tho-malaria, in certain sec-
tions of the country. In all cases of fever and agar,»
the hitters is more potent than any amount of quinine;
while the most dangerous cases of bilious fever yield
to its wonderful properties. Those who have tried the
medicine will never use any other, for any o.‘ the all-
ments which the nosn'rlln sums professes to subdue.
To those who have not made the experiment we cordl-
ally recommend an early application to the Bruins,
whenever they are stricken by disease of the digestive
organs.
