Autumn of 1854,.the freemen of Susquehaitha County, with out-distinetion of party, niet and organized the Re publican-partr, (,being the. first organization of the kind in this State,) for the pUrpose of , maintaining Those principles Of lilicrty transmitted to us by the fathers of the Republic, hi the DecLaration of bide- - pendence andYthe Constitution of the United States. How the party has increased hi magnitude and pow er'Mnee that time, the history or the country ,On its first trial of strength on the national arena, it has almost 'overthrown the once inyinciblii and fully organized cohorts of the Slave Demeernev, exhihiting such avigor and expansiveness, as to fill our 011)0 , - 1 nents with dismay at their future pro7 , peets, and to aween in the hearts of the flien& of freedom .well kiiounded hopes of-the speedy triumph:et the pritici 7 pies of freedom, justice, and•lnnnanity.

To the support of.that organiza don, While it remains true. to the cause of fia - idom, we shall continue to devote our best energies; and we are convinced that it is only requii-yd to have the Republican principles fully understood by all,-tit the party greatly increased strength among the mas ses of the people ;' for the.voter cylto casts his ballot for no purposeof selfish aggrandizement, hut for his ! cotintry's goOd alone, needs only to be convinced, to vote right; and with such a cause as ours, with rea' son and justice, and all the better instincts of th'e hu man heart on our side, we mint be derelict :of duty if we do not Will, increased support to the cause of freedom. _ . . • .
