TON &C.


TION &C.
On our frs, page will DO found the Address OF
the Wing State Committee, to the fioemen Of Yer
mont, We hope every Wing in the State will give
i, an attentive perusal, and show it TO his locofoco
neghbors.
The principles Of the wing party fairly tho
briefly set forth in this document, and we imagine
that no right minded person can fail Of seeing in
them the true interests Of the country.
Who can glance at the contrast in the happiness
and prosperity Of tho country, at tho time when
John Quincy Adams left the Presidency-a time
when all the land the beauty of promise, and
now, when the country is just emerging from tho
gloom and desoation of locofoco misrule, and not
feel to thank Heaven, that the efforts Of the true
hearted and never firing wings, have kept alive the
spirit of these principles through long days of trial
and Of suffering kept the good wing ship still
aAoa, and in good condition for engaging in the
conflicts TO come.
We feel sure that every wing, high and low, in
Rutland county feels this, and we cannot believe it
necessary TO remind them that every man is expect
ed TO do his full duty from this, until such time
shall witness the perfect triumph these principles,
back upon US. We aware that this contest has
been along and fearful one, that it has been carried
on not without the sacrifice Of time and trouble. We
are aware that the enemy with whom we have to
contend, are subtle, vgilant, fierce and relentless
that the locofoco careub is ready TO fall upon
the head of any man-however lowly-who pre-
sumss to question their democracy, or refuses to
yield obedience to it. We aware too, that the
wings have had much to dishearten and discourage
them. They have had to contend-in defence OF
their principles-asanst a corrupt and coIrup'ing
party in power and the abuse, the insolence, vill
cation and Misrepresentation Of that party through
out the country Almost in the hour OF victory, al
twelve years struggle, was the head of the Par
ty removed BY the affecting hand of Divine Provi-
dence, and in his place was left base traitor who
has betrayed them.
Yet, while the wings Of Vermont recollect that by
blood was our liberty first purchased and that by
untiring vigilance only, can 1t be sustained-while
they locofocoism in all its hideous and deform
ed shapes, shedding lis foul influence the land,
and by her doctrine Of free trade preaching ruin
to the morrill, and while they feel that the voice OF
free people is death to all rators-we sure, that
the same spirit which has carried them thus far, and
impelled them on TO glorious action as in 1870
still, CLOVIS in the heart Of every true Vermonter, and
will continue to urge him to duty.
Yet are there any, who in view Of the whig
strength in Vernon, and especially in old Rutland
county, are in fancied security Withholding their
efforts from the wing cause, we would say to such
yourselves and prepare for the coming cleo
ton. Let US, not only triumph, but give the vain
Boosting locos such rout, as will show them that
the free spirit of old Vermont never DO chained
to the false idols which they worship.
Let all such (if any such there are) remember that
to continue free, their rights mustb be closely guard
ed-tha, freedom has never built temple so fair
but that treachery and treason may be harbored in
it. Let them remember that 1T is in the heart Of The
people that the life blood Of freedom crculates tina,
its strength is in their sinews, and that their arms
must work it OUT Let them remember too, tina,
our Independence is but half attained, while home
industry is not fully and permanently protected, and
We taught to rely upoa foreign manufactures
artisans for our neeessaries Of life and comisrt.-
We hope that wing will fail Of doing his full do
ty, aduty he to his country and 10 himself also
and we shall then again have the satisfaction Of see
ing proud little Vermont issuing from the contest
true to herself and to her principles.
