Hc w htss w kdkAto1As
To-day we publish an account Of the Wing
Meeting held in the Court House at Lincoluton,
on the Sth instant. The Wings of Lincoln YET
possess that true and determined spirit which
frorn opposition only acquires new strength aud
vgor: Though they be in a minority in that
county Jet they have not lost. that energy which
ultimately ensures success in a good cause. The
example of tho Wings Of Lincoln. should arouse
the people from their lethargy in her sister coun
ties. The Locos boast OF our weakened power
as Party, they talk about our divisions and dis
sensons. Among the great body Of the Wing
Party IN this part of the State their exists the
greatest unity Of feeling; and from various ac-
counts from other parts Of the State, the same
condition we have no doubt prevails. The course
Of Captain Tyler instead of producing division
in our ranks, according TO the hopes and predic.
lions OF the LocOfocos, Only has served to draw
Us more strongly together in this State. Tyler
men are scarce, SO scarce indeed, that the poor
locOs can scarcely find one to sympathize with.
