LIE. the Light Shine

of the Wing party, there Is no intention to contest
fercey the Elections IN the apparently adverse
States this Fall. In many Of the decidedly Wing
States, and those wherein U. S. Senators are soon
to be chosen, ID manly effort will be rnade-for
instance, III Tennessee, Indiana, Maryland, Mas
sachusctts; while Vermont, Louisiana, North
Carolina, Kentucky, will probably do web without
effort; and some other states promise a far re-
sult-among them Ohio, Illinois, and Mississippi
But In d large number OF States-Alalne, New
York, Pennsylvania, &c. &c.-thc result Of the
Election of l843 will afford no criterion from
which to Judge Of that of 1914. The Wings
know their strength, and they know it Is silently
and steadily increasing. They know that the pub
lie Impotence with and detestatIon Of Tylerism
is fomenting daily, and IS extending to the allies
with which trsachcry has OF late consortcd; they
know that every month of inaction adds to the
number of those who perceive that there must be
action and that Of the ght kind, if the country
as to be restored to that signal prosperity from
which it was precipitated by the dcspotic meas
ures of 1882 and the five following years. Even
la distant Missouri and Arkansas there is a quiet
thinking in rogress which will yet manifest IL
self in decided and suspicious change ofpublic
sentiment if suffer cd to go on undisturbcd. Col.
r. M. Johnson uld readily secure the votes Of
those States but an Eastern man who gets them
from Western one must bid high.
There will be paIpabe indications, even this
year, Of the reviving energies and hopes of the
People. Wherever there shall be offered clear
opportunity to strike decided blow for the Wing
cause and in condemnation of trcachery and de
struction, there blow will be struck. But every
ono conversant with the course of our Politics
understands that there are States where deter
mined and probably victorious effort will be made
by the Wings in IA which will scarcely exhibit
sign of vitality in '43. To make desperate
struggle, and gam by it, if successful, only one
branch of notwithstanding responsibility,
yet acquiring no power-ls Just such All enter
prise as the Wing party is least fitted for. We
wish all to understand, therefore, that we shall
not regard the Elections of 49, let them result
the grand result in IA. In 80, with far more
urgent inducements to put forth their strength,
the Wings scaicely made show of fight in
Maine or nnsylvania, lost Massachusetts, Con
necticut, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee,
and Mississippi, and were beaten largely on the
popular vote in New-Jerscy. The next year
they carried all these Subsequently, by over
wholming majorlties. Like causes will again
produce like results.
But while we presume that the current year will
not generally be one of strong excitement and of
desperate party struggle, we believe that it is now
that the impressions will be silently made which
will be manifested the results of the next year
contest. Now is the tune when information, iu-
dicously impaired, universally disseminated, will
sink deep into the public mind. Now is the time
to call the public attention to the conflicting
MEASURES of the rival parties-the contraSed
means by which they seek to promote the public
good Now is the time to scout from the Country
The shameful falsehood that the Wings struggle
TO confer privileges particular classes and not
for measures calculated to promote the good of
tho whole People. Only let this be repeled as 1t
should be- and it viii blister the tongues of the
knaves who utter it and be driven from the
thoughts of the dupes they now make by it. In
short, now is the time when evidence is weighed
and truth asserts its legitimate force. The result
will be declared in 1874, but the victory may be
secured noe.
Impressed with these views, the publishers OF
The Tribune are preparing to supply a, the low
est possible plice 10 Wings who Will cooperate
with them series Of Political Publications treat
ing OF all the material questions at issue between
the two parties with tranknesS and power which
must command conviction from the minds OF the
candid. Among these publications, we have
heretofore announced, are
