are rejoicing over their recent success
There can be no doubt that the Wings Of the
Union far surpass in numbers their oppo-
nents the Democrats; the overwhelming
majority Of the vote in 1910 which elected
their candidate, the Iamented William Henry
Harrison to the Presideney-if we go back TO
tina. time-fuls proves this statement, and
since then cur party has most nnquessiona-
bly, been, and stil is. increasing in numsri.
cal strength. notwithstanding This well
authenticated fact, if we bat suffer a triAing
defeat, as was the case in the late New Or
leans elections, many Of the Wings become |
cast down and completely disheartened. -
To this dependency on trivial occasions
may be attributed many defeats Of a serious
nature which We have experienced. Instead
Of rallying TO their utmost strength for new
contention, the Wings after having been
routed in a email skirmish are too apt TO give
the main battle over as lost before it is fought,
and making final retreat from their strong
holds, desert their vantage ground, and
yield to the enemy, thus giving to their OPP
Ponents victory where they might oftentimes
be readily defeated. In 1899 the prospects
Of the Wings were as discouraging as they
could well be; and yet by determined and
united effort Of the Wing party the result Of
the contest of the ensuing year was the
achievement Of a brilliant victery.
I The'U. S. Gazette furnishes the annexed
facts relative to the state Of things in 1885,
We ask for them the perusal and careful
consideration and reflection of every whig.
"FACTs WORTHY OF NOTE With reference

ton of the distracted state Of the locofoco
party in reference 10 their presidential can
didate, the circumstances, to almost every
thing else, are nearly the same.
