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 Roated unstricken during the cam
paign of 40 must, everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory Of the past and their hopes en-
coaraged by their joyous anticpations OF the future

the energies of the party but shall we not arouse

about to ensue? There at this time tue OPPOSE
ton papers at the Seat of Government each, in its

of arms gives dreadful note of preparation e thcn

endear him to every generous heart, ana whose
patriotism has never been excelled-let us rally ior
