SHALL THE WINGS SUCCEED

We ask an important question-and we ask those
who have i, in their power TO answer il decidedly,
and in the affirmative. We put the question to our
Wing brethren-shaH ice succeed at the approaching
eeetion9 We do not ask if i, is possible for US to
elect our icket--f we can triumph over our oppo.
nents as in times past, but SHALL 1T BE
DONE THIS is the question. aud we wish 10 hear
such decided answer given, that on the evening
Of the election may feel that our work is done,
and well done. Perhaps some individual, whose
eye rests upon this article, would enquire Of us,
why ask so earnestly, such question the Wings
always do carry their point in this State, and they
will Of course elect their candidates this fall aud
probably this individual feels very Indifferent
about attending the election, or urging his Wing
Deigbbors 10 be and be at the polls We say
10 that individual, il is 20 you, and such you,
that the above question should be pot There
would be no need Of asking such question IL eve
ry one felt the importance Of the election and had
resolved TO do all in hiss power 10 elect the Wing
candidates. Those who Indifferent, and those
who think we are sure 10 succeed without effort,
should arouse and do their duty; il they do wake
up, and hand al the day OF election, we shall
certainly succeed as though we all should vote,

tage TO our opponents Nothing can make them
have any hopes of success, but seeing indifference
in our ranks; and the more slumber and sleep,
the more active they are. The Locofocos, we may
be sure, will leave stone unturned to effect their
object. They viii be out early and late drilling
their troops, that they may have every man in their
ranks in a condition TO MACH 10 the polls We
have no fears that they will make many proselytes
from the Wing ranks. though thcy would doubtless

Wings understand them, and their principles too

The Locos rejoice at any division among the

willingly them withdraw and support & third

aboltOnists believe that the Wings are favorable to
the continuance of slavery-and pretend TO admire
their consistency in getting up separate ticket
We trust aboliiionisls will not look to them for

those views we intend to abide

friends Of law and order, the friends of universal
freedom, the friends of our country and her best
interests arise, and with united voice, declare
that, THE WHIGs SHALL sucoEED-for their cause
is the peoples cause, and IT MUST BE SUSTAINED.
