THE WINGS THROUGHOUT TIE
TktnN

The Wings Of Mississippi, together with a
portion Of the democratic party, have atr,,p-
gled tfro' q canvass in which they were con-
tending for the honor and character Of their
State. They have been overthrown but not
djspirited. Our opponents have succeeded
mainly by appealing to the sordid feelings Of
%ayariee. They are maenifed the liabilities
Of the State, and misrcpresented her ability
to pay. They have deceived the unreaecf.
ing, by the cry Of taxation; by stating. that
u The state debta, had 10 be paid, the tax
would be more burdensoIpe than the moor
man could bear, without distressing bis fami-
~; that The last COW which furnishsI food for
the little children would be sold 10 paw
Nicholas Biddle and the fund mongers Of Eli-
rope. j. is true, that d few of the leaders
opposed The payment ofthe bonds on consfi.
iutlonal grounds; but for every one, Of this
class, there are one hundred who voted the
anti-bond ticket, because of the dread of tax
alton.
This contest is at an eEd for the present:
but in lS45, the bond paying party will be
found at their posts, nobly conterdine for the
principles Of honesty. and the preservation of
State faith. But, w believe the state is in.
dissolubly welded to reputation. Every
effort at the ballot box for the redemption of
the character Of the State will be f~ruitless,
unless the laws shall be changed SO as to
make every man vote piua roce.
We now dismiss tie futher discussion of
the question Of reputation, and enter upon
the consideration of those great and import.
ant matters in which the whole Union is al.
rectly concerned. We come up from the
.quagmire of Reputation to breathe the health
full atmosphere which surrounds the noble
and patriotic principles of the Wing party.
Mississippi is Wing without doubt. She
gave a handsome majority in 1910, for the
wing candidate, the lamented Harrison: and
she will give a larger majority for the great
American statesman, Henry Clay, who lives
in the hearts of her citizens, and whose name
a magic that will fan the flame of
patriotism IN the bosom Of every lover Of his
couDtry's glory and his country's greatness.
The Wings of Mississippi, as in other States,
are eager for the great contest of IA. and
they VIII never falter. Quotations of local
and divisions on abstract theories have
lanipened their ardor for the momen but
hey will rise from it with renewed energy,
ind display a united front that will defy op-
position. We viii say to our friends in other
States that they place Mississippi along with
he Wing States, and doubt not that she will
;ast her vote for Henry Clay, no matter
our opponents may have one or a do
candidates in the field.
