III Wines OF OLD LINCOLN Be up and
doing Organize and put on your strength prepara-
tory 10 the next Presidential campaign. Merge every
topic of minor consideration into full and resoute
determination for unity and decided action Prompt
and efficient measures should no,c be put in pro-
Administration. All therefore who clam the APP
pelation of true fiends to their country, should
forthwith rally under the banner of correct princ-
pies, and heartily support the national nomination Of
HARRISON and TYLER, to the highest honors
in the gift ofthe people Every town in the State
should at form Wing Associations. Let every
Wing act well his part, and nothing else is wanting
TO ensure to the good cause of TRUTH and
sound democracy. Every town in this County
should send strong representation to the conven-
ton of Wing young men, 10 be holden at Wiscasset
on the 9th of February next. Forget not This i'm
portant matter. Remember that it is of vital i'm
portance to the dominant party that Wing democra-
cy should be suppressed! Grown insolent and
headsrong in their continued enjoyment Of usurped
privileges privileges by which they have under
mined the rights and republcansm of The people
they scout the rising muimurs ofihose who oppose
their fast stridlng power and ambition, and swear
political humiliation 10 the entire democratic purity
The fact cannot be denied, even by us, who would
do with our whole souls, if we could, with any
show of truth, that these plum derng, 'Swattwout-
ing and nsolent loco (ocos are strong in ,oacr 10
nure Their strength consists in fawning sycophnn-
cy to party dctaon, unqualified adherence to party
taccs,-c constant adhesiveness to palpabIe wrong
rather than plain manifest highland in pitiate love
and veneration for their leading idols, MEN-rather
than principles and measures. TO them the down
fall of true democracy is all important--its accom-
plishment is happiness-ay, salpaiion TO them.
For the support of their acknowledged organs
most properly called loco foco newspapers they
will come forward in host and pay their money
freely, even though they suffer great pecuniary in
conreniences-and the office holders, DEAR cREA-
TUREs being deeply interested, will furnish them
thousands of subscribers and other assistance qa
hbitum.
In this connection, we will just make n special
plea, to our friends, in behalf of ourself and the
good cause we are now, and for four years past
e
free to acknowledge that our list is already quite
respectable as 10 numbers, and if every subscriber
would "pay up promptly, we should feel no serl-
Gus pressure, in operations. But our friends
are anxious, many of them, that our paper should
be ealorged--this is what we have been expecting
to do every year since we commenced, but as vet
patronage has not warranted the experiment and
we dare not undertake on "6orroued capifaL'' les
we should "6reaf.' But, in this vicinity and il
the County, there those who are able and who
should forthwith enrol their names on our books
The crisis demands it of them. II they will onl,
consider that this step would enable us to make oui
paper much larger and bestow more attention TO the
edtotal department, and thus accomplish mucf
greater amount of good, we feel positive, the,
would no longer hesitate. 1t is important that wha
is done, should be done without delav! We will
make a suggestion, which we hope our friends will
carefully consider.
| |; is well known to our readers, that we are tc

Now the plan is this, let each delegate from the
several towns in this County make exertions among
their wing friends, and &c: many as they can tt
! subscribe for the Telegraph, on the terms named
