WING YOUNG MEMS CONVENTION.
While the wing young men in every state
arc bending every nerve and concentrating
all their energies for the great struggle now
going on between the Office holders and
the people, what are the wing young men
Of Mississippi doing9 With shame we are
compelled tosay it, nothing, absolutely no.
thing! Why is this2 Is it because they are
less talented, less spirited, or less patriotic9
No it, is fornone of these reasons, for there
Ives not more patriotic, more talented or
more chiValrous band of young men in the
Union than are the wing young men ofMis-
sissippi. AS body they are an honor to
this or any other state. Why then is it that
they are doing nothing for the good canse2
We will tell them. it is because they have
no concert, no scperate organization, no
unaniInity of action. How IS this to be re-
medied2 We answer BY State ConTen-
ton. Let the wing young men in every
county hold meetings Jet them appoint dele
rates to State Convention TO be held at
Jackson, let them have a general inter-
change ofvieWs and sentiments, and our
word for il, their exertiens viii be crowned
with the most signal success. The desti-
mes of this nation, for good or for evil are
in the hands of the young men. And who
we ask can have greater interest in the
preservation Of our liberties, and the perpe-
tnity ofour nobly institutions than the young
men! They are soon to be the representa-
tives and the senators, the governors and
presidents of our happy country, the vete-
rams now on the stage, those who now con-
troll affairs are passing and must soon pass
away, and we repeat who can have greater
interest in the country, than those who are
soon to be, alike and in turn the governors
and the governed? To the young men must
soon be confded the care of this great na.
ton, in their hands viii be placed the inter-
ests gilmore than fifteen millions Of freemen
TO their keeping will be coufded not on
iy the happiness and liberty of the people,
bat of liberty throughout the world. Who
then is more interested in the good govern
ment of the country, or who better fitted for
the task Of reform, of correcting abuses, of
turning out wicked and corrupt admins
tration, and placing in power men of tried
ability, honesty and patriotism? We answer
none. Then we say TO the wing young men
of Mississippi, arouse and prove by your
acts that you are worthy the highest desti-
ny. Lei it not be said that you are less pa
triOtic than your brethren in other states,
rather let it be your pride to outstrip COM
petition in the race of patriotism. In your
ENDS is the destiny of this state, if you will

forever from the hands Of the spoilers. If
you will it, Mississippi will take rank among
the first wing states. Yours is the power

of the honor of the state, the shame rest up
on your own head. We believe that if the
wing young men of Mississippi will meet in
Convention at Jackson, have full and free
interchange ofsentiments, pass strong reso.
lutions, and adopt stirring address to the
wing young men of the state, that il will in
fuse spirit among them that will render
them perfectly irresistible, and will place the
success ofour whole ticket beyond all ques-
ton. We then propose that convention
be held in Jackson on MONDAY THE
FIRST DAY OF OCTOBER next. What
say the wing young men to this propositions?
We know that those of Vicksburg and War

Will not these counties send forth their ta-
Tented and patriotic sons by scores to such
a conventiong We answer they will. Then
let as have convention on the first day Of
OctO6eF, and let every county be represented.
Let them 60 to work at once and appoint
delegates, and let the delegation be large
and talented. Bring out such an array Of
talents and numbers as this state has never
witnessed before. Let this be done and the
VICTORY is OURS.
