motto of the Democratic Wing party, stimulat-

Practising under this motto, has effected Won

South. 1t has completely blasted the prospects
of the 'Fnorthern man" with his ollaporida prin-
ciples, cunningly designed for every section of
the Union, but discovered to be no fired princi-
pie upon which he can be trusted BY any given
portion of the people. Let us profit by the no.
BILE and cheering example, which that gloriously
redeemed city has presented us for imitation.
Bright as are our prospects, and certain is our
victory, it can only be consummated by being

fact must not, for single moment, be over

cenary dependents, Of every description-well-
fed, and drilled man-servilely obedient
to the notes of the Administration bugle-reck-
less of Principles-deprived of all personal free

like the serfs of an eastern despot, to do his ut
most bidding This is no mean force to contend
against, by raw undisciplined militia, who, like
the 100000 additional troops Van Buren, was so
DESTROYS of bringing into the field, as auxiliary
to his Iegions Of regulars, to perpetuate the
royal dynasty, obliged not only to arm and
equip themselves at their own expense, but to
find their own ammunition and provisions, with
no other motive than voluntarily serving their
bleeding country, in the hour of its utmost peril.
Still, if every does his duty, is ''ever
ready" for action, and manfully holds out to the
end, the result viii eclipse the glorious acts
of revolutionary fathers. The Democratic
Whigs-the militia of 1S40, like their valiant
ancestors, will as certainly rout the Van Buren,
mercenaries, as they vanquished the tories and
foreign mercenaries of George the Sd, and re-es-
tablish our independence spon basis SO firm, as
to defy the united efforts of any future despot,
with all the power and force he can bring into
the field.
The government will be regensrated under
the auspices Of patriot President, whose SER
vice of single term will destroy every incen-
tive to preparation of acts which have disgra-
ced those ROW in power, and arrayed them against
the sovereigns of the land. That which has been
gradually stealing from the people, will be res

good; and, thus renovated, the various Depart

be-a system suade,tte control Of the people
or the sole good Of the people as community.
1t is for this the democratic wing party-fired
with the principles of the wings of '76-have
taken the field and are bravely contending. Let
them be Sever ready" and victory will perch
upon their bAnner. Let them bear in mind that
this is the last struggle of freemen against des-

themselves for their apathy and want of ZEAL
They will discover, but alas too late to apply
