WINGS OF MARYLAND
RE.aD IND CONSIDER.


After the glorious and successful exam
pie set them by Tennessee, the Wings "t
MARYLAND should arouse themselves and
shake off that lethargy, which has made
them prey to their opponents since lSiO.
1t is true that the unhushlng aud traitor
Gus conduct OF John Tyler and his ignobIG
coadiutors was calculated 10 dampen the
ardor of our party; hut II oughtnoI TO have
been so. Our defeat in our plans of re-
lief should have nerved US up to show our
disapprobation of the traitor by vIndica-
ting our cause against the party into
whose arms he had thrown himself, and
who used him for awhile to thwarl Wing
measures. Having accomplished their
purposes, they have scornfnlly thrown
him off from them as an unworthy thing.
Poor Tyler is now scolltd at aud contem-
ned by both the great political parties Of
this country. He is denounced by all as
unworthy of confidence or support. The
Wings of Maryland have suffered them
selves to be defeated by the minority
Under the banner Of HENRY CLAY, we
hope there will be general RALLY, anc
that union and good feeling will pre-
vail throughout our ranks. We succeeded
in getting the Presidents signature to one
good law, and our country is deriving
vast benefit from il in making the balance
oftrade in our favor This measure is the
Tariff, which whilst it has secured protec-
tion to our own manufactures, has made
goods cheaper than usual. If the Locos
get the State, they viii get United States
oenator,not only in favor Of repeal of the
Tariff, but also pledged against a, division
Of the sales of the public lands, or any
other measure to relieve us from direct
taxation. 1t has been our opinion for
two years past that the plan OF the Hon.
VIM. Cost Johnson is an excellent and
feasible plan for the relief of the States,
and why any Of the people Of Marylad
should go against tive cannot conjecture.
This would relieve us from the present
pressure of taxation, and W ,uld save us
from the dlsgracelul and damnng system
Of Reputation, contended for in some Of
the counties. This lalI's elections will
determine whether or not our State shall be laid
out so as to secure all our members of Congress
to the Locos for the next ten years; as at tho
next meeting of the Legislature the State will
be laid off into districts The elections will also
have great bearing on the Presidential and
Gubernatorial elections, which will come oft
next year With all these excitements to acton
will the Maryland Wings suffer themselves to bo
beaten next fall by inactivity or divisions.
Ye wings of ls40, rally again, and show in S4S
what yon intend to do in 1874 With Harry of
the West for your President, and some good man
| for your Governor you cannot fail of succcss.--
viii you endanger these by your soth and mac
tivity? Do you owe your country nothing and
are you willing with clear majority to he boa-
ten by your enemy! Let Calvert, Prince Gcor-
ge's, ST. Mary's, Caroline, Somerset and Wor-
cester, reinstate themselves as strong Wing
counties. Where is old Talbot that formerly
| gave $50 Wing majority, will she not arouse and
again make fght' Cecil, lIarlorq and Queen
| Anne's, always closely contested, we hope will
do their duty' Montgomery, Charles, old kent
and Dorchester, may be certainly calculated on
as firm to the core, and we look for Allcghany,
| Frederick, Anne Arundel, Washington and Bal
timore city TO manifest their zeal tOr tie Wes-
tern Statesman. As for Baltimore and Carroll
counties, we cannot hope this year for SUCCESS,
but even these are mo- 10 be dispaired ofin 1874
Give the people light and Whgprinciplss must
prevail OLD TlPPECANOE.
