Lincoln telegraph. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1836-1846, 1841-07-29


The eighteenth day of August, as our readers
must have noticed by our last, has been designa-
ted by the County Committee, as the most suit
able and convenient day for a general Convep-
ton of the Republican Wings of this County.
Some may infer, from the fact that our party
is new in the ascendant, both regards national
and State politics, that material necessity ex-
lists for any very extensive feeling, or sacrifice to
attend and participate in the deliberations of this
Convention. Such, however, is not the case
This sort of reasoning, always fatal if suffered to
prevail any extent, is raught with most serious
danger, under the present aspect of affairs 1t
is trne, the gallant Wings of Maine, aud of this
County in particular, met the enemy most nobly
during the campaign of last fall. Success-com-
plete, and most gratifying success, was the re-
suit of those fearless, persevering efforts But 1t
is also true, that the Wings of Maine, must once
more t'MEET THE QUESTION: and let the decs-
ion be recorded in such tones, as will show it to
be FINAL, and TRIUMPHANT
That our friends should desire rcpose and quiet,
after so hard a campaign, that of the past year,
is by no means strapge,-hut when we reflect
that inactivity and slumber may, under present
circumstances, work our defeat; when We hear,
breaking the stiffness of our repose, the rallying
cry of our foe, and then behold them marshalling
every remnant of their broken forces-determin-
ed upon one more dreadful onslaught for the
spos, then may we not, and will not, as
good soldiers, forego the pleasures we had antici-
pated for season, until their enjoyment shall be
unattended with danger Where is the gallant
Whig-where the Republican, but will respond
hearty amen
Thus far, preparatory to the approaching cleo
ton but little has been said or done, except by
our opponents Every measure of the Wing ad-
mnistration, either State National, has been
msrepresented and grossly exaggerated with III
dculous demonstrations by the loco press. The
Wing press, so far as our knowledge extends, has
confined itself, for the most part, to the single
purpose of giving such facts and details, as the
circumstances of our present position seemed alb
solutely to require
The time has now arrived, however, when
complete and thorough organization, can no long
er be delayed, with safety. If there should exist,
unfortunately, any local differences of opinion,
any minor subjects CT complaint, let them be laid,
lciLhout reSerUe--wLTHour HEsITATioN, upon the
altar of our commonrountry-a meet sacrifice,
that will most surely, sooner or later, bring with
in our reach the enjoyment of those blessings and
privileges, for which we have been so long con-
tending.
Without enlarging further, at present, we will
only express sincere desire, that the standard
of" MUTUAL CONCESSION, UNION, HARMONY and
PERSEVERANCE, may be unfurled in every town
and neighborhood. IL ether sections ofthr State,
we have assurances that all danger is past, and
the enemy will be routed. Our anxiety is for
q Old Lincoln I'VE feel proud that we were
born ana nurtuge2 from .acr soil, and that our
" lines have been cast in her ''pleasant places.
We trust the republicans of this county will i'm
mediately prepare for the contest. Let there be
a full representation from. every town in our APP
preaching Convention.
