A CARD.
Tn THE WING PUBLIC.

I will, 10 few days, issue a Prospec-
! ,us to the Wing public, disclosing the
i grounds on which propose TO conduct 0
new Wing Journal a. the city OF Wash
4 ington.
NY object now, is principally to say,
tha, the appearances Of that Journal will
only be delayed until the re-asseinbllne
of Congress, on the 1st Monday . De-
cem5er--possibly, until after the CHRIST
mas holidays, until which time Congress
does not usually enter seriously upon INC
discharge Of public business. !.
have also another object, VINO" = "

States, and OF 100000 American cisl-

disreparded by men who owe every thing
10 the generous confdcnce.of tho Wing
party, and whom the decree OF fate has
enabled, for short period, to play the

/ cannot permit the opportunity TO
pass, however, without congratulating
the Wings Of Virginia especially-for,
Virginia, heretofore so loyal to principle,
has supplied upon this occasion, nearly
all the traitors--upon the very contempt
bic impression upon their ranks, by the
detection OF names Of some celebrity a
rnong them. Few men knowing the
State better than do, or having better
opportunities of forming a judgment Of
the current Of public opinion, ! have not
vet heard, certainly, of the first Wing
who had renounced his principles, al
though invited to the regeneration by
one President of the United States, "by
the Grace of God" three members OF
Congress, two State Judges, and two Pro.

The Wing leaders may sell their Prlncl-
pies for place, present or prospective, or
for the vanity OF ruling, or what in some
mems estimation is equivalent, the repu.
taton Of being supposed TO rule the ruling
powers-but the Wing Democracy, the
rank and file whom vanity does not dupe,
nor ambition corrupt, and whose single
purpose is the honor, prosperity, and lib
erty Of their country, stand now where
they stood in November, 1910. Never
treason carried over so little accession Of
strength to an enemy, or so little injured

10 King George alone, and they who have
betrayed the Wings, have initiated his
sexample in this as well as in other re-
spects. The Veto, or both the Vetoes,
are little or nothiug-it is the motire, to
destroy the unity, prevalence and sepa'
rate existence Of the Wing party, which
deserves execration, and calls for the
vengeosnce of betrayed and nsulted
people--betrayed by those whom they
had trusted and elevated -insuited by
the very Imagination, that they could be
seduced from their avowcd principles, and

Let this noble spirit still prevail, and
neither treason, nor Presidential patron.

the determined will, and the now inflam'

us, who hoped for repose after so arduous
a campaign, resume our arms, determn'

shall not circumvent or sell US 10 an OPP

to barter US for his own Acknowledgement.
