The duty Of the wings.

At no previous period in the history Of our po-
litical struggles. has unanmity in the Wing ranks
been so imperiously demanded as at present. 1t
appears, indeed, as if the task of regeneration
had been imposed on them by the events which
has transpired. The open avowal Of sentiments
aud opinions hostile to freedom, and even dostruc.
tive to the rights Of property, have been combat
ted from their first annunciation, and should be
resisted until the mist is cleared from the eyes Of
the people, and they again become conscious that
true liberty is nseparabe from all that renders i
dear.
If they regard a change in the General Gov.
eminent as desirable if they desire the Currency
to be regulated, the right. of property vindcaied,
official corruption checked and rebuked, official
dietatiOa frowned down, Commerce restored, Ma.
nufactures sustained, and Agriculture rewarded,
let them unite for the accomplishment of their
purpose. Let all subjects and differences be swa-
loved up in the patriotic wish 10 raise fallen
aud dishonored country. No Wing viii deny
that through the mej sures of the General Gov.
eminent, acting from the dictates of phrenetic
folly, darkly yelled corruption has spread con.
fusion over the land. To enumerate their fratri.
cidal acts, or designate their mode Of operation,
IS task as unnecessary as it Is painful. Every
Wing has borne witness to them, every citizen
has felt their effects. The duty we now owe our
country is, to correct this by trying to disPlaco
he offenders from office. This can only Be done
Jy an union Of al the clements Of the party
No petty divisions should be allowed to interfere
o prevent its accomplishment.
