An important election is pending. Assemblies, are to be elected to represent us in the next Legislature at which this question should be decided. We must secure representation in that body, pledged to work for our measures; and it is high time for us to unite upon a practicable plan of action. It is worse than useless to waste our time and opportunities in tirades against our opponents, or in prolix arguments upon those already convinced. In the approaching election, we hold a balance of power that can be used effectively, if we act in concert. This question will have prominence in the Campaign, and it is unworthy the cause to hide it behind other issues, however important they may be, and hope to gain our object by trickery and subterfuge. Let us show our opponents that we have faith in the justice of what we demand, and that we are in earnest in our advocacy of it.
