Wings may contrive for the promotion OF their cause.
We ASK Won to send on all such information through the
Delegates of your respective Counties TO the Charlottcs-
VII" Convention--in order that this strong and able
body, coming from all parts of the Communicable, may
ascertain the facts, announce them trumpet.tongued
and adopt the necessary means for counteracting the
hurnbugs and manGuvres OF the Wings in all directions.
let the G. Convention know how far the humbug
abou, the Census, the Direct Tax, the last version OF
their late h~nmbug, the Standing Army, and that great
humbug of Dragging and boasting is carried-that they
mag all be met in the Convention, and arrested and
countcrac;ed. In the name of the Central Commit.
lee. we ask the most particular attention to these points.
