We find that it is suggested in some of the
northern cities that the Wings should close their

no man leave for another that which he should
do Ior himself. Remember that your vete may
determine the fate Of the country Let it not be
wanting in Il proper place.

EXPOSURE OF THE PLOT.
TO THE PUBLIC.

We gave this afternoon a detail of the state
ments which had beer published in the Stan
dard, and other papers, assailing our conduct IN
reference TO past elections in this city, But
since those who have eudeavored to implicate
us in an alleged attack upon the purity OF the
elective franchise, have resortcd to the forms
of judicial proceedings to give apparent solem-
nifty to their accusations, we have deemed 1t
proper to contradict them in a manner solemn
as they have been made. We therefore appeal
to the solemnity of our oaths, and pronounce the
charges, as far as they tend to implicate us, ca
luminous and false.

FERMENTATION OF BANNER BY THE WING
LADIES OF THE TWELFTH WARD.-Last evening
the Wing ladies of the twelfth ward presented
beautiful banner to the Wings of that ward.
The ceremony of presentation took place at the
residence of Gen. Medtart. The banner was de-
signed by the ladies, and executed with admira
BILE skill by Thos. c. Ruckle, talented artist
of our city. Addresses were delivered by David
Stewart, Esq, and by S. T. Wallace, Esq, tn,
former in behalf Of the ladies, and the latter il
behalf of the Wings of the ward. They wer
both eloquent and appropriate addresses.
The designs and notices of this beautiful ban
nsr were as follows. On one side was repre-
scented log cabin in the distance, and in the
foreground an Indian in the act Of tomahawkine
beautiful young female. General Harrison i.
seen on horseback coming up to the rescue. The
motto above is:
GIVE ACKNOWLEDGE OUR PROTECTORS"
The motto below was the stirring one of
ssTo THE RESCUE! TO THE RESCUE! IT'S
WOMAN BIDS YOU COME"
On the reverse stands the Goddess of Justice,
with her foot upon Intrigue, in the form of
serpent, and the Goddess Of Liberty, with In
nocence, represented by heart, at her side.
Both are in the act of browning, with wreath
oil laurel, the bust Of General Harrison, which
Surmounts the Maryland coat of arms. The
motto above this very appropriate design is,
WE TwINE WREATH TO DECK THE HERDS
BROW Beneath is
"FRoM THE WING LADIES Of THE TwFI. FrH
The whole affair was pleasantly exciting
The ladies were all animation, and were loudly
eheered and applauded by crowds of spectators,
nsmbering, we should think, from one to two
thousand.
