THE CONVENTION.
9urn out to the COnYen'
tiOn!

on Saturday, the lst OF July. The sue
cess Of our Ticket depends in no small
degree upon .judjcious nominations
such as shall give general satisfaction
to our Wing brethren in all psrts of The
county; and, that the proposed ConVen-
ton may act in accordance with the po'
puIar will in this busneso, tits all i'm.
portanl thai the people OF each Town
ship be present, either in person, OF by
full committees. We know not what
others think, or wish in regard to the
next annual election; but we very much
fear that there is TOO linIe feeling on
the subject, throughout the county. II
our friends mean TO be successful If
they are resolved 10 sustain their prIn-
cIpIes. now and at all times hereafter,
they must shake off this miserable leth
argy-tbis fatal apathy which seems
TO press upon US, like some mons'rous
incubus. We have reposed 100 long oD
our woII.won but now fading laUreIs Of
1910. Like the old soldier in Cold
smiths Deserted Village, we must
Shoulder the crutch and Gght the battles
DER.
We must cleanse the "AWgean Std
ble," and drive the GothS and VandaIs
from the Capitol. And now is the time
TO beginnhe work Let us rekindle he
Wing fires Of 1910, and keep them
brightly burning, until another shout Of
victory, Wing victory, shall resound all
over the Union,
Our past labors have not oil been lost.
True it is, the will Of the people has,
in many respects, been thwarled bg an
ungrate(uI and treacherops Chief Ma
gstrate. But still something-yea,
much, has been accomplished. That
most outrageous scheme Of fraud, pscu
lalion and plunder-the "FIOridG Uar"
has been termlnated-The annual ex.
pendltures of the Cove rnmenl have been
reduced from S32 900 O0Oto Sl5,OO0,-

The last vestlge Of Wing policy The
Tariff, il the Wings do not make manIuI
resistance, is destined to be the victim
Of Locotoco "engeAncs; and thea will
follow direct tGreS, the Sub Treasury,
low wages, the reduction Of prices, and
all the other enormilies which Locofoco

people
Who is there among the Wings that is
