MOVE ON THE WING COLUMN!

election commences in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Only four days more 1t is the severest con-
test, and may prove the closest, that the PEG.
ole Of this country have ever witnessed. Let
this appeal then reach the hearl and the under
Standing of every Wing who sees it. We say to
each and every one, be sure that sou DO ALL for
a great and glorious cause which it is in your
power honorably to do. We ark you, if you
have done all that you ought to do! You KNOW
what your opponents, who would elect men that
would annex Texas, assume her debt Of UNTOLD
MILLIONS, and involve us in disgracefu WAR,
rather than let our glorious Union remain /" as il
is'' have done and are doing tn defeat your party!
You KNOW what tricks, articles, fabrications,
fasehoods, and forgeries they have resor,ed to in
order to defeat MIR. Clay, that they may retain
power and the spoils! You KNOW that is they
succeed they will REpEAL THE PRESENT TARIFF,
which, while j: protects and gives high wages to
our mechanics and workingmen, and furnishes
capital home market for our farmers, enables the
General Government to pay off its debts, and
gives health. vi gor, and prosperity in exchange for
the depressed and gloumy state of things which
existed before the passage Of that fortunate act
Of Congress! so
Knowing these things, Wings, each and every
one Of you, and loving your country "as it is"
nd its noble institutions, ,ciN you, CAN you stop
short Of performing YOUR WHOLE DUTY on this
great occasion!
Do not suppose for momen, that our cause is
STRONG ENOUGH t, allow of your neglecing TO
rigidy performing your whole duty. Our enemy
is ever vigilant, constantly a! work, and desperate
beyond all former precedence It is his last
hope-his final struggle-and You may rely upon
it that he will spare no exertions, no means, no
money, 10 accomplish his greedy purpose!
Look at 1.-THE largely increased vote in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, at The recent State elections, and
the near approach the two parties made TO each
other in both States. Look at the largely in
creased vote in New Jersey. All showing the
resolution and determination of our opponents.
REMEMBER, then, each and every Wing, that a
single vote may decide the election in each of
those three States, and that you, yes, YOU, and
you alone, may either 60 and cast that vote your.
self, in one of them, if you are there entitled to
vote, or be the instrument of inducing another
person, who is entitled to do so, to go and cast it,
and thus SAGE a Stale TO The glorious Wig cause
There is not time now left, perhaps, for Wing
voter in Ohio who may see this appeal, to go
there and vote next Friday. But there is time to
60 to Pennsylvania and New Jersey Let every
Wing, then, who can vote in either of these
States, be sure 10 60 there and do his duty. His
vote is wanted. 1t may save the State, and it
certainly will crease The strength of our good
cause
The L"cofocos will suffer no persons who can
vote in Pennsylvania or New Jersey to refrain
from doing so! No matter what they may say
to yon TO quiet your surlnises or apprehension,
need them not! Believe that each and every
man who can vote, besides many who have no
right, will eli er 60, or be sent by the managers. |
Then, up GUARDS AND AT THEM" Your
country demands II! And no one Of you il wor.
thy of being WIG GUARD who will now.
through supineness, indifference, or fear of no, |
being in the majority, neglect to do his IupERA.
