GET READY FOR THE WORK.

j The Wimv Republican of recent date in an article relating to the success of the democratic party in the campaign of 1330, hit the nail squarely on the head. It exprewse* the opinion of the Si andabd iii such a dear forcible man. dot. that we copy the article in foil. ‘ Everything at present points to the defeat of the democratic party in the pr.sidential contest nest year. Bat it will not do for republicans to be over confident. They have a vigilant and an aiincrupulous enemy to contend with, 1 and the restoration of the democratic party to power means much more than at first sight might be supposed; much more than they are willing to admit. In fact were the leaders of the party to explain the aims and objects they have in view, they coaid muster but a slim following tn the northern states.” “They cannot deny that the triumph • of the party means the restoration of power to the aoutb; for the representatives in congress from the states lately in rebellion, have already made known what they expect in return for their support of the party —which is nothing more nor less than a controlling voice in the affiirs of the nation. A restoration of national power to the south, would be followed by the restoration of all that she lost by the rebellion, and the repudiation of the national debt.” “We know that this view is ridiculed and laughed at by democrats, but the actions and arguments of southern politicians daring the past two years, show that such a purpose is held in reserve / sod only awaits the fitting opportunity to be boldly proclaimed. Denver Republican has very clearly expressed oar views noon this subject. It says: 'We do not belive that the ssutb feels L very kindly toward that debt, which was incurred to whip it out of rebellion and iDtn the ranks of the union. The leading men of that section still call that rebellion a patriotic straggle for their • rights. Besides, the cities, counties and states of the sooth h%ve gone into the repudiation of their own debts by wholesale. That repudiation reaches the enormous aggregate of three hundred million dollars. This amount is not repudiated because the people are unable to pay, but because they are unwilling. When repudiation of its own just debts is so popular and successful in a comma niry. the inference is, that it would refuse to pay a debt contracted for its sup pression and conjugation. It must also be borne in mind that-the section which refuses to pay rts state obligations is the section that exalts the character and /sovereignty of the State at the expense of the Federal government. Men who will not acknowledge the binding obliga- • tioo of a just local debt will throw overboard the national debt the first oppor-

funity. But there is still another aspect of the ease. There ip a large party in the"north standing ready to join bands with their southern friends in this very work. To sponge out the national debt by refusing to pay it, is a hobby to-day with thousands of northern democrats. Some take a roundabout way and propose to pay off the debt in greenbacks that are never to be redeemed in coin, but they all bring up at tbe same point. For reasons of policy tbe national debt in not openly attacked by southern politicians. but once in power and they would toss it aside, on one pretense or another. If the democracy could kill ontanß balldoze the republican party in tha nation, as it has in the sooth, oar national bonds would not sell for ten cents on the dollar. The south of itself is weak, but it can always count on great assistance from the northern doughfaces.’ Every man who has watehed the course of political events since the democrats secured a majority in congress, knows that every movement that has been made by the rcbej brigadiers, clearly indicates their purpose in this matter. It is therefore necessary that those who would preserve the credit of the nation, and who would not see all the fruits of the rebellion sacrificed, should be on their guard. Republics clnbs should be organised in every school '-■district, republican literature should be freely circulated, and every republican voter should be at work, nor cease their efforts until victory has perched npou their standards.”

Judge F. C. Beaman, of Michigan* - ; whb was recently appointed by Governor ' Creswell to the United States Senate, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Chandler, has declined, and exGoveraor Baldwin, of Detroit, appointed ia hi* plaee. Mr. Baldwin is a gentlenae of considerable ability, has had large experience in political affirirs, and his appointment ia reoeived with much satisfaction by republicans everywhere. ! t 1 - J !Wgggß Michigan City Enterprise; It looks death-like to tke democratic majority in Congress to see Dr. Felton, Alex Stephens and one or two others of the Southern members deserting or threatening to desert tbc party. There are indications that «ome of the southern states are ripe for revolt against the rule or ruin policy if tho northern democracy. It is time.

ADVICE TO INDIANA REPUBLICANS.

We with to impress os the Republicans of Indiana the importance of avoiding mere local and side man between now and the geoeral election next year. It is true that this is included in the general policy of preserving harmony rathe party, but we wish to make a particular impression on this point. We wilj state some of the reasons for bringing this matter to the attention of republicans at this time. It is hardly necessary to remind our readers that the election next year will be oos of great importance to the state and nation. Besides a Governor, State officers and Legislature, there will be members of Congress and President and Vice president to be elected. The interests of the state and, to a certain extent, of the nation will be Involved in the election. • The oontrol of the national Congress and executive, in other words, of the national government itself! will be in issue. The great question whether the policy of the government shall be shaped for years to come by the republican or the democratic party, by northern or by southern influences, by progressive or by reactionary ideas, by liberalism or by bourbonism, will be decided next year. But the election will not only be one of great import tance —it will also be exceedingly close It requires no gift of prophecy to foresee this. It is hardly possible to conceive of any change in political circumstances which will materially alter this condition. The national a election is bound to be close. As matters now look it may turn, and is likely to turn, on new York and Indiana. There is no probability that the democrats can succeed without carrying both of these states, aud the loss of either will be the loss of the election. In other words, the prospect isithat New York and Indiana wilt be the battleground next year, and the latter state as much as the former. The democratic managers recognise this state of facts and are ready to meet it. In all their plans and calculations they concede the necessity of currying New York and Indiana, This is the touch stoDe which is applied to every ticket presented, and will be the one used in the democratic convention. Moreover, we have information that they have already commenced a quiet plan of operations. in this state, by which they hope to weaken the republican ranks in particular localities, and by breaking our lines here and there materially lessen our aggressive strength. One of the means by which they hope to accomplish this is by drawing republicans into small local and side issues. This policy has already been commenced in some places, and will be continued. It is a shrewd game, and if Republicans are an wary enough to be entrapped, it may lose us the State and the Nation. We believe the Republicans can carry Indiana next year if they make a united and determined effort. We have got the “bulge” ou the democracy now, and if nothing occurs to change the drift of public sentiment between this and the election, we can carry it, provided there is harmony and unity in our owu ranks. To this end, however, it is 61 the first importance that republicans everywhere throughout the State avoid being drawn into small side issues of any kind. The national issues and interests involved are tod important for mere local ones to find any place irr next year’s election. Let them be postponed till another year. If they are of any importance they will keep, and if they won’t keep a year lpnger they had better die anyhow. The main thing, the point of first and last importance which we would impress as strongly as possible on republicans throughout the State, is to work towards absolute harmony in the party, and to this end to keep constantly in view the great interests involved in next year’s election, and under no circumstances to be drawn into mere local, personal or side issues. In this connection we will offer a word of advice on another point akin to the foregoing. We advise Republicans everywhere to nominate by conventions and not by primary elections. The latter mode of nominating candidates is objectionable on many accounts, but it is enough to say that R has proved a great injury to the party io localities where it has been tried for a succession of years. There are counties in this st-tte where large republican majorities have been gradually frittered away thro’ the undermining influence of primary elections. As a rule, tickets made in this way are not as good as those made io convention, and the after results are always bad. Tbe convention system may not be perfect, but it is decidedly better than primary elections, which ought to be and we trust will be doee away with everywhere hereafter.—[lndianapolis Journal.

Warsaw Republican: There is no difficulty in assigning a few enterprising editors to their true position in the journalistic field, when they manifest their ability to do dirty work by easting dirt at the memory>of the late Senator Chandler. With att their slurs and libels his record will be none the less bright; for people are apt to remember that it is only the most worthless eowardly cur that yelps at a dead lion. A manly man respects the memory of a dead enemy, for the manly qualities he possessed, while the glare hidss his faults.
