The election on the 18th inst. must
be carried by the Wings, as one OF N
series Of triumphs most essential to tho
success of the general campaign. The
certainty that we shall carry it is quite
demonstrable. The point to be urged
is the necessity Of carrying it by large
majority. The moral t0eci likely to re-
suit from it, in what way soever it is
determined, will be felt throughout the
country.
In this view Of the impending contest,
its Importance swclls into an immense
magnitude. We have told the country
that Rhode Island will do her duty
We have given to the battle and the
breeze " the hopeful banner of HAIR
RISON and REFORM. Nat a mo-
ment did VIC hesitate to respond to tho
national sentiment manifested at the
Harrisburg Convention. Hitherto wo
could make only professions. Tho 10th
is day for action. On that day let
every town in the State give broad
side for Harrison.
/ Wings, the eyes Of the nation arc
| upon us. The result Of our first en-
gagemcnt with the enemy, under the
Peoples candidate, is awaited with
thrilling anxiety. The moment it 10
announced it will fy on the wings Of
the wind The velocity Of steam pow
or shall be redoubled to speed our des-
patches. Ere the ink is dried in which
they are written, they shall be read in
! the far West and in the extreme South.
The farmer, bending in dependency
over his unsalcable produce, grown
stale upon his hands under this hard
money dynasty, shall read in those des-
| patches the promise Of better times
4 The new settler in his Log Cabin shall
read them and rejoice. The dcspond-
ing planter shall read them, ond forth
with announce holiday to his slaves.
The mechanic and the day laborer shall
rejoice in them. The merchant and tho
/ banker shall talk Of them on Exchange,
and make them the theme Of their cor
rcspondencc. All labors and all cond-
tions, the land over, shall exult in them.
and say to one another, "Bchod
! Rhode Island sendcth greeting ! !"
Let us be prepared then, every man
Of US, for the contest. Let us make the
result such that, while il cheers our
| friends, it shall strike dismay into the
! hearts Of our enemies. Let il be such
n victory that in after times it may be
written that Rhode Island election was
the entering wedge that burst tho bands
Of the oppressor-that rove osundcr the
most mighty combination of fraud and
profigacy that villany and ambition ever
cemcnted whcrcwith to cripple, crush,
and curse free people.
There needs no moro but ths-,hs sovereign

/ Friends, you will justify the use Of
this strong language, because we have
strong cause. We know that the foo is
on the alert. We know that they have
their mercena'y cmissarics abroad, and
in the midst Of us. VIC know that they
cease not day nor night to hold their
secret conclayes. We know tho diro
schemes they are conccrting to defeat
US, in order tha, they may wreak upon
us their dire revenge, because me dare
be free, because we have ever spurned
the opprcssor in the ralIniest days of
his power, and because We now, with
unerring aim, charge home upon him
the direiul consequences of his wrongs.
We know--bccauso we sec their daily
movements with our own eyes, and hear
their unpairictic voices at night with
our own ears-we could nnme princi-
raj arl agent, we know that they are
omitiing no eSpedicnt, leaving no effort
Il IIuntfl,d--that they are moving heaven
