Tim- Organization ia the most import tant duty the Democrats of North Carolina have to perform in the pen- ding campaign. Earnest,' persuasive, , argumentatire, practical speeches : are valuable, and do good doubtless The newspapers are indispensible as allies in behalf of good, honest; economical government, becausethey are the great distributors ofihtelli gence. It" is throughthetn mainly . that the'-politiciansxand the people gather' the .jmportant facts.. But thorough, systematic organization is worth ,them all, and is absolutely ne cessary. We do not see how one side can expect to triumph without i organization when the other side has ' organization. The vpte" in North Carolina is . sufficiently . close to de mand the most pertinacious effort,' constant watchfulness, and : a system of party discipline -and'organization, that shall be described as thorough. The basis of hope, of expectancy has been shown already more than , ouce in these columns. -The census of 1880 and the natural increase since authorize the statement that there are at least 70,000 voters in North Caro- lina who did not vote in 1880 or have .never voted. Of this large number it is fair to say that 50,000 are either , Democrats or are not Radicals! ; Upon them the-Delnocrats must rely chiefly for victory. Starting with a majori i ty of six or seven thousand they must build 1 upon this thdy must : secure enough of" the .50,000 to give assu rance of victory. - Z -:.How( is this to be done ? By or ganization. Try every other means and appliance and leave, this untried and you have no guarantee of-success. . v .Organization ; is not so difficult as is thought. It requires cool, direct ing heads tand energetic, intelligent workers. Is the Democratic party so bereft of its live men that these can no longer be found ? ; Not a word of it. ,In every county 1 the .material exists and , it should, be ...utilized.. What is required is a rst ' rate Chairman of the . tive Cpmmittee. A County Execn- man of iudo- ment,"of wide acquaintance with the , people of the county;- oL zeal ".'for1 - truth - and "liberty, ' of devotion to principle 'and,, party, must first : be found in every county With such an earnest, devoted, discreet, intelli . gent chairman the work may be ac-i : complished without any serious diffi- cuhy -It is true he must have ;good 'assistants. : The General cannot "de liver, successful battle nnless he has ;. good commanders under' him. An array cannot beat a disciplined enemy jpf nearly equal numbers with a pro miscuous crowd of stragglers " and bushwhackers. , , j We propose, in another article, to 8how how the organization of every county can be perfected:' It will re , quire, something of devotion to "a -t noble 'cause, something of consecra v.jtion "to grand principles of igovcrn--."-' ment: something of s tact and ' ardor and labor, h Dcuuicu, ana must be secured. v i- For. many campaigns Hhe papers "have had much t say about organi sation. Jt was all talk. There has j never been any, organization . worth fthe nameiiand the cman who says' vc.c uaa oeen aoes not Know of what he is talking. We have been an ac- tive participant .with the pen both by day and night in many campaigns, and we have had our share in writing about organization, but with'the ex ception of a very few sporadic leases there has been'; nothing of the kind. What is needed, and what, we must have, is awjde-spread attack; a gen- eral difiuision of the organizing spirit; Democrats in every county and town ship must Tor one time in their life feel bow -frery important, how abso-? lutely , necessary, .it is; to organize. They 'must" know what ,the fight means in this year of .grace. , . ' If the Democrats' should lose the State in 1882,h is it not altogether probable that . they will lose if ' In 1884 ? ) If lost 4n 1884 there is good reason for saying in ' view.of past elections that the Presidency .will be lost. But a failure to' carry the "State in the coming election means a great deal more to North Carolinians than the loss of tlie President. A defeat in November means a Radical triumph. Look back into the"past; and as you recall what ' your State : and county governments were . when' under the control of Radicals,, swear upon'the altar of liberty and just rule that you will do your duty like men, and God helping you nothing possible shall be left undone . that will aid in saving" North Carolina from the deep affliction . of passing; , asrain under Radical supremacy, and in prevent-f ing the Eastern : counties .from -being remanded to the blasting curse of negro management, of the finances.' In another article we shall .have something to say : on 'How to or? ganize. J GOVEBNMENT EXPENniTUKES. The Northern . Republican papers and the Independents also are devo-i ting much of their strength -agains what they call the "big steal" of the Congress that . has just adjourned.1 Thfr following from' the New; York Sun brings out in a condensed way the magnitude of the performance. Here it is: " H The Annual Appropriations for Ten Fiscal ...

These " figures i are enormous , and speak for themselves.-! Now -who is to blame?. What party is responsi ble?.. Would you believe it that some of the Republican papers fare trying to make it appear, that the minority is to be held responsible? j. Was there ever before any such thing heard of under the sun?. Majorities rule and in the matter of electing officers and ap pointing committees the majority in the Porty-Seventh1 Congress did con trol. Why not then hold it responsible for any extravagance that marked the legislation of the f session? Could it not have prevented it?., Who will say nay?' The truth' is the Republi cans are to he held responsible for every dollar that was improperly ex pended. .' This - is the u rale. The Democrats, when in- power, were held responsible not only for " what they did, but' for what they. failed to do. ? The same chalice. must-be held to the Republican lips. ; . " James Buchanan was the last Dem ocratic President. He served ' for four years His total expenditures to run the Government . fof . four years were' about $250,000,000.1' The Rob .esdnian Radical Congress in bne ses- sion expended -nearly three' hundrecj million, Vor nearly- fifty, vmilliori more-, than .' Buchanan 'expended in four... years'. , Buw really Buchanan is charged with' more" than heught w uci i.vu;iue. ve tui: wus war mere was a generaj business paralysis and a debt; had to" be created necessarily. He Was in no sense responsible for its creation. If there had been no dis turbances his' Administration 'would have expended but ' $176,000,000 in four yedrs an average df , $44,000' 000, annually. That sum" would not run . Arthur; Robeson ; and company but" about i two months, much? less, twelve. It takes neaflyia million dol lars a day to carry oiii the Govern ment under Radical rule. -" ! There ls' one factrconnected with Radical management that should not be forgotten." It. is this. ' The New Haven . Journal and Courier, a Re- publican :paper,v:sets .up . this claim, and ' it j seems : to " regard 1 it as very creditable to its, party,1 C It says that m addition to moneys raised for cttr-j rent expenses, and we all know some thing of the magnitude Of 'the sum required for this object' itsparty his also collected in four year some six hundred million dollars in excess . of expenditures. This is a singular claim to set tip in the way of merits The Radicals, then, raise somev$450,- - 000,000 annually. The Democrats pnly askedjfor and expended $44,000,- 000. " Behold the contrast.

A We copy three -of . the resolutions for the bene fit f of , our r Republican- friends in North i Car'oJina..F( They show-- that their ' brethren ' in ' Kansas are,1 like Gov.

' - t ' "Resolved; That we request the next Le gislature to submit such an amendment to the Constitution of the State as will secure to women the right of suffrage. " i "Resolved, That we request out delegation in Congress to secure such an amendment to the revenue laws as will prevent the issuing of receipts or stamps to Bell intoxicating liquors to any persons other than those with the right so to do under the State laws." - V In Iowa ' the Republicans have passed a prohibitory law also; The truth is in the States generally the Republicans, as in Maine, and as once in Massachusetts, are the liquorrpro hibitory party, and the Democrats in the same States haye been the license party. .

HoaT proj ceeds to argue -with, regard to tho national rather than the local character and import tance of the River and Harborbill, and ays , the President did not , point out an item which he thought of local interest only, and did not point out an instaflce in "which he thought the bill unconstitutional lie did not refer us to the information on which' he acted, that we might see whether it were we crhe that were deceived." 'We wereV there fore, left to our own.' resources. If the bill failed all; public works of this class must stop. The suggestion that the general approp riation should.be , made of half the .sum provided in the bill, with authority to the Presidents to expend ' it on such public .works as he thought fit, seems to me, with due respect, totally iuadmissable. It does not seem tp me- to accord 'with- sound con-1 stitutional theories to intrust to any execu tive .the power pf determining what public works are for national-advantage. -.
