WHIGS OF RICHMOND,

"HlN'S Ot RlCHMONDi
Your Ward Clubs organized and under the best
possible auspices Your councils have been unanimous
your spirit not merely harmonious but ardent and full of
ZEAL your numbers exceeding all former examples and
showing that wherever else TREACHERY may have sap
ped Wing virtue Of any whcrc.) that in this noble commu
ny and among its enlightened people. the Wing Party
have grown powerful from their reverses and that far
from being seduced by traitors abandon Principle and
their counys they resolved that cause
the better aad to maintain those principles more nile
bly, that TREASON has endeayoed them for its own
e1ecrablo ends. As IN the dark days of the Revolution
patriots soul fired and his purpose of achieving
the liberty of his country rendered more determined by
ArHols treason, has the unuterabe of John
Tyler and his handful of deserers increased not quench
ed, the zeal and courage of the Wing party 1t is now evil
dent that the irresistible enthusiasm of lS40 is to be more
than equaed Is TO be exceeded lSi4 and il is scorn of
the traitor IS and patriotic indignation at his
cme is Nr'uous resentment at the wrongs which an
objectionable selfshness and most contemplate vanity
have inflicted upon the Wing party, which will make the
cauldron boil over
But in organizing these Clubs and under circumstances
50 suspicious and demonsaive of an and un
conquerabe spirit. the Wings OF Richmond ought not to
suppose that they have done Nain indeed would be
their numerous assembages and their displays from the
rosrum, # they led nothing but exhibition of pre-
sent strength or OF eoquence. WORK must be done
hard, steady, perseveng woEK- they hope to derive
tbs indispensable work, which promptly commenced and
indusiriousy pursued will, beyond all rational doubt make
the poised scales in Virginia least prcponderatc in favor
Of the great the wings OF Richmond ought to address
themselves. Were there even but a dozen of them who
would devote themselves the causc-who would labor as
that most valuable citizen and enlightened patriot Sampson
Jones, did IN leiO would this dozen dedicate but their
spare time, and that all Virginia should be in posses
have it in their power to possess the means of f
information upon the topics which divide country
-ihen certainly that truth great and will prevail
Wi. the wings sweep Virginia in ISL
II Is vain aud idle say again. organize however bril-
anuy, unless something more be incnded-unless some
thing be done Let each Club therefore | hutnbly
suggest the Wings Of Richmond detail a confidential
Committee TO weigh consider aud transact business which
cannot well be done IN public Meeting Let these conf
Dental Committees amagamate and constitute one whole
and let the wing party determine TO be satisfied unes,
something Is done than flourish Of trumpets in pr
mary assemblies display Of official proceedings in the
newspapers IN old Coon from The Country.
