any friend Of the country, in the State, or
elsewhere, who harbors doubt OF the over
whelming triumph of the Wings in the No
vember contest, with reasonable energy and
vigilance, we ask his attention for few mo-
ments while we place before him a few facts
and considerations.
New York gave at the last fall elections a
clear admitted majority Of $4,000 for the
Wing tickets. With little concert, less Or
ganization, and very limited and dubious
hone of q successful result, the State was
completely revolutionized. Scarcely sim
gle county looked for a signal change be-
vond its own limits all were alike astound-
ed ut the magnitude and the completeness of
the victory. The official returns exhibited a
change in one year of $4,000 in favor of the
Wing cause.
Have we any reason to fear or believe
that the revolution has gone backward 3
Where is it found! In the result of the
spring elections! Certainly not. We car
ried majority of full sixty supervisors for
the first time, including those of every city
in the State, and nearly every incorporated
village. We displayed increased and over
wheIming majorities in our great western
strongholds. We held Albany, Rensselaer,,
Columbia, Orange, Cayuga, Tompkins'
Kings, and most of our new counties. we
shook the power of the adversary still fur
Their in Herkimer, Otsego. Delaware, Lewis,
and most of their hitherto strong counties.
We routed them in Jefferson, beat them in
Seneca and Clinton, and cast majority Of
the votes in Madison. These elections fully
demonstrated that we had lost nothing of our
$4,000 on the first of May.
Can we have lost it since? Can we lose
"a NJ r0iParfn Tho
dencv of the political current is all the
other way. Connecticut, Virginia, and Mis-
sissippi, which were last year strongly
against us, have this year gone Wing. LOU
isiana has lust elected Wing Legislature
in place of q Loco Feco, and a Wing Con-
gressional delegation entire, where we had
but two members last year. North Carroll.
ma has Just elected Wing Legislature in
place of one which twice elected a Loco Fo-
CO United States Senator. Our Governor
runs the Sub-treasury champion out of sight.
All this in the face of the Calhoun detection,
and the vote of one Wing member Of Con-
gress for the Sub.Treasury bill. Of Mis-
souri, and Illinois we will say nothing just
now; but we have returns sufficient to show
that there has been at least substantial
Wing gain if not Wing victory in each.
Alabama-full of Calhoun Nullifiers and
disunionists, who have carried over one OF
her Wing Congressman and two or three
able presses to the enemy, is looking we'll.
We shall lose nothing even there and after
South Carolina, that is our hardest chance in
the Union. .
Take another illustration We carried
Maine last September by a handful of votes,
and the battle is now to be fought over again.
The vote was light there as here; It will be
heavy now, as is the case with US. Both par
ties will do their utmost. Yet nobody thinks
of any result which would be equal to the
beating down of our $4,000 in New York
So Of Pennsylvania The Locos carried it
last fall by 5000. To be equal to the loss
of this State by the Wings, there should be
Tory majority Of $4,000 in Pennsylvania
in October. But nobody dreams of such
result. The estimate of their central Com
mittee only claims $1,000. and they know
that is lie. There will not probably be
5000 either way, and we hope what there is
will be in our favor. AT any rate they can
not do so we'll as they, did last fall. 1t is out
of the question. How, then, are their breth-
ron to gain $4,000 in New York! "The
thing can't be did"
We say, then, to friends and foes. far and
near set down New York as undoubtedly
Wing. We might hold out our hands and
throw away our certain victory; we might
get into silly quarrel about candidates fol
Governor or President and fool it away. Blu
we are not going to do any thing of the sort
We are going to elect our Wing Governor
whoever he may be, by about 2O,OOO, ane
send twenty five Wings to Congress TO mai
up the coffin of the Sub Treasury. Gentle
men Locos, you have fair notice, don't say
this time that you are beaten by surprise OF
accident.
