The next Election--The TippecanOe Clubs
One of the most remarkable features in the mode
of conducting the next election is the rapid sndcom
plete organization throughout the city and country
of the Tippecanoe Clubs. These constitute, wher
combined. the most important movement that has
yet taken place in srder to effect the complete tri
umph of the great wing party. They are composed
of of character, influence, intelligence, industry
and integrity; and since the first was organized
in the 18th ward, their spread and success have
been most rapid, beyond parallel or precedent
They form entirely new feature in the political
machinery of the times.
The clubs of the locofocos, by which they carried
the election last year, founded, their names
imply, upon system at variance with every good
citizenke feeling; their principles OF organization
If principles they be called, were the most pre-
pOsterous that emanated from the human imagi-
nation. Some were designated Butt-enders, be-
cause they beat and abused, and knocked down,
and destroyed every body, and every thing,
that they come in contact with Some were
called Roarers," because with their greasy throat
they could roar louder, and make greater noise
than any other set of scoundrels. third were cali
ed "Huge paws" because they had big fists, and
could employ brute force, where they were so
lamentably deficient in every thing else. And yet
by means of clubs organized on this disgusting and
dsgraceful system the locofocos carried the city.
The Tippecanoe Clubs, however, which will effect
the results for the Wing party that the others
did for the ocofocos, founded totally different
principles; they refer to, and connected with
some of the most heroic achievements eff the last
war; they appeal to the best feelings and the purest
passions and sympathies Of the human heart, Of the
scholar, the soldier the statesman and the patriot
They call into play every good quality citizen pos
sesses and aided by the best and most virtuous feel
ings of his nature the appeal and effect will be ire
sistible.
There probably never was election carried on
such semi-barbarian system that gained BY the
butt-enders last fall solely by arousng all the
basest and most brutal passions Of our nature, BY
means of those beastly buttend clubs. There
yer will be an election carried so completely by
Of moral worth, purity and patriotism, the
next election will be by the Wings, solely through
the agency and organization of these patriotic Tip
pecanoe clubs.
As said before, they entirely ele-
ment in electisneerng tactics and they will ASST
initiate all the floating electioneerng elements of the
city to themselves and their ultimate success. Al
ready there are or 10 organized in the city, and
their number increases daily all the country
They must spread, and their principles must tri-
umph. Nothing can stop their onward progress: for
they form the best possible check to riot, disorder
and the destruction of every thing yirtuous pure,
patriotic, and valuable in country and our nsti-
tutions which the brutal buttender clubs were fast
destroying. And what is Of eqnal importance, they
form most efectual check to the corrupt intrgues
and influence Of Wall street, and its still
rupt bankrupt press, which has beggared and
broken down every party that il has sous ht 10
rule, and which il crushed BY these means, will
assuredly destroy the Wing party in the city, state
and country.
