render success on a question Of such
vital importance TO the interests and
character of our State for the empty
satisfaction OF a strictly Wing triumph
from which nothing more would be
gained then from the election Of two
bond paying Democrats 10 the legisla-
ture ? Upon all questions Of State
legislation their course would be the
same as Wing representatives. No
subjects in relation 10 general politics
are ;kely to come before them. II the
bond paying party, comprised ofWhigs
and Democrats, have the majority in
the next legislature and the election Of
an United States Senator should come
before the two houses, which however
the best informed politicians think will
be deferred until another session, the
bond paying Democratic candidates
in this county, If they belelecled, will
consider themselves pledged not to
support either directly or indirectly the
election Of any repudiatOr for that sta
ton.
Another consideration for the Wings
in regard to this matter is the fact, that
the dnctrina renndiafian IS stranger
in this county Than The Wing paTKYs a.
is proved BY comparison oftha vote
of'4I with that of'40. It may be an
swered that fuckers residence in the
county and his popularity carried ma
ny Wings into his support from per
sonal regard; bot that does not account
for the defeat ofthe entireWhig ticket
The inference from that election is
that many, who had been classed witt
Wings, voted the Iepudialing ticket
They may still pursue the same course
and our only plan for counteracting il
is 10 obtain as strong a vote from th'
bond paying Democrats as possible
To succeed in this, we must shev
some confidence in them, and as the
Wings are more numerousin the coun

they can afford TO act with more
