Honor 10 the Wings of Mississippi The
Wings of Mississippi are beaten, but they should
be prouder of their position in defeat thar of the
most brilliant victory. For two successive Elec.
tions, with hardly an exception in their ranks
they have fought the battle of Honesty and Good
Faith against Knavery and Reputation. Some
few knaves who had crept in among them have
crawled out, dreadng to be taxed or TO be on lht
unpopular side; but nine-tenlls of the whole
party have stood firm on the side of Uprightness
while nineteen-twenteths ofther opponents have
voted ON specous but fimsy preteXts, to rob the
creditors Of the State. Here is ono of ,hes,
touchstone questions which show what the res
\ pective parties are made Of Glorious Wigs o

with that of shutting, paItering Indiana !-Yol

will rejoice over it! Who would not g

of the noble Wings of Mississippi?
