Oh the sentiment ADVANCED, and with patrl-
otto hearts, and determined souls have en-
gagged in the work. Wing Associations
will this year, drive back the baneful eff
fects Of Loco focoism, in the "Cradle of
Liberty" and while clearly defining, will
take care firmly and forever to establish
"the Democratic principle" of zone Con-
stitution-one destiny" ...z.
Shall the wings of Maine hold back ?
What say ye wings of Lincoln The wings
of Bath have already united in the COM
pact-as wing young men, and lovers of
our Republican institutions, we have flung
the broad banner Of "HARRlsoN and RE-
FORM" open 10 the breeze. Its ample
folds are now floating DER our heads, and
in humble imitation Of. our venerated faith
ers, we have mutually and freely pledged
-FOUR lives, our fortunes and our sacred
honor" to stand in its defence until we see
the Democracy" of the Constitution tri-
umphantly re-established, and once more
witness the joyful return Of Peace and
Prosperity, perish, if we must, in op.
posing the official dictation, and unhallow-
ed corruptions, which now prevail in every
branch of our Government from the chief
executive do,on to the humblest mental who
sits Gin the receipt Of Customs"
Most respectfully, therefore, do we make
our appeal, on this occasion, to you gentle
men, and through you to the Wing young
men of this County, that thorough or
ganization in every town may be speedily
effected, and every just and honorable
measure taken in order that at the ap-
preaching contest we may not only be able
TO command the whole strength Of our par
ty, but by full and persevering discussion of
our principles, convince and reclaim the
hundreds of original Republicans who, be-
ing partially convinced of the sophistrv
and intrigue of the demagogues who have
deceived them, will readily embrace the
truth, and fearlessIy enlist under the Ban
ner of true DEMOCRACY.

The Committee appointed to draft reso-
lutions then reported the following, which
were passed unanimously -
Resolved, That the Republican form of
Government, secured to us by the treasure
and blood of our fathers, is better cacu-
lated than any other, which has evey been
devised, IF HONESTLY AND WISELY ADMIN
lsTERED, to establish the prosperity-pro-
mote the happiness, and preserve whole and
unimpaired the rights and liberties of the
People, for whose sole benefit it was in
stituted and when series of measures
subversive Of all this, are obstinately per-
sisted in and forced upon the People 'not-
withstanding their lamentations, "by those to
whom the administration of the Government
is entrus,ed-when the policy, so widely
departing from the spirit Of the Constitu-
ton. "that the Government must take care of
ITSELF and the People must take care of
themselves" is adopted, it is the right, it
is the duty Of the People to take care of
themselves and elect to the high stations,
which now are filled by our opponents,
men who will be the Servants of the Peo-
pie and the guardians of their rights
whose aim will be to restore to the country
the blessing it once enjoyed in fact as well
as IN name-a Democratic Republican
Government.
Resolued, That we look upon the Sub-treas-
ury scheme as emhodying the very worst
features Of Federalsm-that it is aristo-
cratical in its tendency and monarchlcal
in its bearing-that it will create in truth,
a great Government Bank--that it will
raise up a host of office holders having I'M
der their control the moneys of the People;
and these officers holding their appoint
ments at the pleasure and will of the Exc
