n" mat swaning is for strong men to take the field
IN every county, and bring the Wings to the polls.
Inc Loeos have he'd Convention, and published

wings OF the Legislature have not deemed il pro-
per- at this season Of general distress, TO call to-

iney rely upon the patriotism OF the Wings to do
'hei' duty to themselves and their country without
Su'nu'ants. They know aud feel the grievances

continuance OF Locofocosm must aesraya,e the
evils which it has brough, upon the country-and

powerless, who would inhict them upon us.
