IMPoRTANT.- The Tuscarawas Wing Conven.

IMPORTANT The Tuscarawas Wing ConVen.
ton Wednesday last passed the following resolution,
which is Important to the holders of Canton money:
Resolved, That instead of striking their flag, they
will raise 1t still higher, and bear it aoft with frmer
hand, until all the duties (hat is promises) the Wing
party stand pledged 10 the country to perform, shall be
discharged"
New that's coming up 10 the chalk, and will imme.
diately "resore confidence" all over the country, no
doubt At all events, Canton money will look up.
There at this time, about 800 900 fprOmiscs (or
to speak refnedly ''duties'') made by the Canton
Bank on behalf ofho Wing party, in the hands of
citizens ofthis county, waiting for redemption. We
trust the authors ofhe above resolution leSsrs Spoon
er Hayden and Patrick will lose no time in preparing
to "dschage" the aforesaid 'duies they are pledg.
to perform"
Wehave not the slightest hes fancy in saying that
the Advocate Editor will redeem his srare of these Can
ton duties or promises, Judging from the puncuay
with which he redeemed certain promises made on the
eve Of Harrisons election.] As to MessrS Spooner
and Haydenr we have Gse doubt but they ara capa-
be "discharging the ''duicS' they are pledged to
perform Provided, that they are called on before Q.

other great men in these diggins, that whg promises
are not valid after election day. Let the people bear
