ONE WORD MORE.


WANT OUR MosEY. AND WE MUST AND WILL HsvE
THE WINGS AND THEIR SUPINENEsS.
Our reflections over the late reverses v hich have
beallen the Wing party in the elections OF the last
autumn, and the causes Of those defeats, unaccoun
table as they we're to party whose ascendaney
was thought to be completely established. both by
themselves and their opponents, have constrained
us, in our capacity sentinel upon the watch
tower Of public liberty, to throw out few remarks
az warning of the danger of this supiueness OF our
friends under their defeats, and Of the criminal in
attention TO their concerns party, for which
they are preverbial. While the Locos are contin-
ualy pointing US to their recent tri"mphs with
vast amount Of satisfaction at the sober second
thought" the Wings seem to sit quiet, as 1t their
own time to rejoice bad not yet come, and YET
wh-n it does come, they still preserve their equa-
nim,y, as if il we're really wrong in them to get
boisterous. AZ opposite to our present purpose
we extract below paragraph or two from the Ma
tional IntelIigencer of some weeks ago The art
Gle was entitled "Good 1idings IN good season.
and was called forth by the triumphant election OF
Crawford over McDougeid as Representative "a
Congress from Georgia.
The Lucos have been exuiting very h'ghiy over
their tempurary successes in several States at the
last elections and every where proclaimed that the
people we're recovering from the effects OF the en-
,husissm with which the great reformation ct l64o
w,s nroduced. Their orators and presses shouted
8, the TOP of their might, that the Wings hat fail
ed to redeem the promises which were made TO The
people before the election, and the recent tr'nmph'
OF the Locos were proof sufficient that the wings
pe,e no, worthy to be trusted with the control OF
the affairs of this nation. But now,--when the
people nf Georgia, aroused from the ethargy IN
which they have vigorously ,eposed since the con
test of 40, and goaded into action by the high
handed attempt of their Locotoco Legislature 10
drive Mr.. Berrlen from the Senate, have arisen
in their strength. and shaken the develops from
their arms, and by an overwhelming vote returned
tru. Wing 10 Congtess, the tune OF the Locos has
bscome a little changed, and they begin to fear the
Lion may again put forth his strength, AID teach
them a lesson similar to the they received in
1890
These remarks have suggested themselves 10 our
mind by the supineness Of the Wings OF our own
county at the last delegate election. There is no
county in any State in the Union. where there ~
,urer and truer and staunch Wing majority
than in Berkeley. The party comprises the very
bone and muscle of tho county, and are engaged
for the most part, in the varied occupations which
give stability and wealth to her, and yet rrPoslng
under the idea that our friends would come forth
in numbers Sufficient TO prevent Locotoco candi
date from second time showing by how much he
can be defeated the took so lite interest in the
election that very few more votes OF the oPpo-
site partv would have returned opposition dele
gate from this county TO the Legislature, We
would caution our fellow Wings against this M
psrdonuble neglect of their party interests. Nome
should sey 10 himself that his vote will not be
wan,ed,-ihat our majority is large enough in the
county to secure the election of our friends at s
times The Wings have the proud consciousness
Of feeling and knowing, that their principles are
identified with the best interests and onward pro-
er.s. of their whole country 10 the high position
which just and equitable administration OF it, a.
fairs. and a strict observance OF the public faith,
either State or National, when once phghted, M
eoptes,iby entile her, and which, under the au-
SPICES OF the Wings, she will most assuredly at
tain. Knowing this, the Wings of Berkeley should
show themselves worthy of the name they bear,
and of the patriotic men with whom they are as
soeia,ed and when the call to action is sounded
come forth in their might, and prove their devotion
TO their cause.
We shs n content ourselves for the present with
what we have said, with the hope also that at the
proper time the spirit OF 1910 will again animate
our friends, and nerve their arms for the contest
in which they are shortly to be engaged The pow
sr is undoubtedly In their hands, and all they want
is to be convinced that they ought to act, and
triumphant victory awaits them at the polls
The e lev n, are the extracts, 10 which we
lave referred above
GOOD TIDINGS IN GOOD SEASON.
None OF our readers " no have opportunity Of
petssing newspapers of various politics can tail TO
have remarked the extravaganza Of the exnltstion
of the sef graduation OF the several detachments
Of the party whose common object is opposnon TO
abe WHtSs. upon the occasion of The transient
SUCCESSES which this Oopposiiioa has been allowed
by the Wing. to gain at the Fall Elections in some
Of the States. The fumes of this success seem
really 10 have intoxicated Our oppoasnfs. Like
