To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts Of
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners Aoated unstricken during the cam
raign Of 40, must, everywherc, swell with glorious
pride at the memory or The past and their hopes en-
couiaEed by their joyous anticipatons Of the future
1t IS true nightmare of trcachery now rests upon
the energies Of the party but shall we not arouse
TO the importance Of the political conflict which Is
about to ensie? There at this time ire opposi-
ton papers at the Seat of Government, each, IN its
way, sndeayorng to sapthe foundations Of the hig
party, and blasting the prosperity of the country
by the measures they propose Shall we not rally
against the foes excited by these essaries, whose
corrupt and atrocious motives are manifest BY their
early wrangling for spoils which they never can win
We know the response Of millions of freemen will
be GAY, RALLY - Already the hum of either
army Silly sounds;n already the general furnishing
Of arms & gives dreadful note Of preparation I; then
let ours be bright and dcathdealing sword in the
conflict Let us rally under leader upon whose
standard is inscribed Liberty Order, the Constit't
ton 4" whose great political and personal virtues
endear him TO every generous heart and whose
patriotism has never been excelledlet us rally for
