wings, Cheer up.

Daring The last week We spent day at
Saiesyille, and while there We took some
pains 10 try and ascertain how public opn-
ION was manliesting Itself relative to the
two Wing candidates that are now in the
field. We rejoice 10 say tina, We learnt
from almost every section of lredelI county
that the Wings were nearly unanimous III
a determination 10 support Col Barrlnger
this information we received, not from
those considered leaders, but from the
people themselves, men who had good
opportunity from mixing with their neigh
bors TO know the prevalent opinion and who
they intended to support We also hear
that better state OF feeling is found in
Catawba aud Lincoln counties, especially
Lincoln county, than sc had right TO ex-
peci, irem the great excitement growing
out of the division question, and we have
been assured BY a gentleman on whom we
can depend, that the greatest opposition
and detection 10 the Wing ranks against
the nominee, Is N Meckleubur. county,
THIS We are sorry TO hear. We have found
some here opposed TO The Convention, bul
can they act so recreaui 10 the best int.
rests Of the Wing Party as TO go against
the wishes of majority Of that party
While speaking 10 he people Of Iredell
county, on the Monday Of Court, we Under
stand that Gen. Edney even admitted TINT
tho Wings should unite on one or the 9TH
or, whichever they thought si's "..ahees,-
We hope his friends wilt take his advice
aud the Wing cause may yet be victorious.
Some Of his friends may say that in their
opinion that he is the strongest, well, be-
fore they come TO tins conclusion, let them
honestly inquire aud try 20 ascertain the
true state Of public opinion. Ii We have
been able, aud We think we have been, 10
ascertain the true state of the feeling Of
the Wings % the DIs'uc', we unhesiiat-
ingly say that Col Barrnger vail be borne
alof by the bone and s,new Of the Wing
Party. Therefore, Wings, cheer up, and
whom the day Of TRIAL comes do your duty.

origin Of the nomination Of Mr. Tyler as

as an interesting reIninscence OF an I'M
portant Incident 10 the political history OF

"At the Harrisburg Convention Of December
1889, on The morning after General Harrison hug

delegation, OF which was member, were as
scmbled by themselves, and were considering the
question OF candiiatc for Vice President when

them observed that they were waiting for me (;
that as the Convention had united so harnonl-
ously on my nomination of General Harrison
for President, they wished Ine 10 Eon1lnata a

which John Tyler obtained his nomination. How

that reduction in the resources OF the
