PREPARATION FOR THE BALTI.
MORE CONVENTION,

Baltimore having been agreed upon as
the point for assembling the Wing hos, of
1914, the good people of that State he.
thought themselves Of the propre,y of hav
ing ii clean wing ground. Accordingly, at
the election for Members Of Congress,
which came off on the 14,h, they have lit
orally wiped ont locoiocosm, even to the
last grease spot. City, Country, and ALL
Districts which formerly gave 1900 against
US, have now given handsome majorities in
our favor. The state is now fairly rid Of
every root and snag of locofocoism, and the
wing columns in May next, may wing OF
and display from one extremity of ii to the
other. But the great beauty of this triumph,
is involved in The principle upon which it was
won-in reference to which the American
Wing holds this language:
1--WE inscribed the principles and measures
Of the Wing party upon our banners, placed
them upon the outer wall, and under their
proud folds went into the battle, nouting de.
fiance to the foe-and, with Heroic PERRY,
We can exclaim-''wc hare met the enemy
and they are ours!" Every measure con-
nected with the Wing faith were not only
openly avowed but fairly canvassed before
the patriotic people of Maryland and of Bal
timore-and we hail the results of the day S
struggle, in all parts Of our state, as the ver-
dict Of enlightened freemen, pronounced, in
the calm language of"sober second thought
in behalf of Wing measures, Wing princi-
pies, and that matchless champion of the
peoples rights, Harry ofths west."
Thus auspiciously does the campaign OF
"A dawn upon us; and thus gloriousy are
we greeted by our brethren foremost in the
fight.

thus presents an undivided 'front.' Her representation
in the Senate is entirely Wing. At the election il
October she chose large majority Of Wing member
of the House of Delegates. All these results ar
deemed by the undersigned, and, they may add, mr.
conceded by their political opponents TO be conclusv
a. to what the vote of the State will be the PreS

All of the gentlemen elected are the decided friend
OF Mr. Clay. They all prefer him before all yln

every voter as he deposited his ballot, and the issu
is the calm solemn, and, we trust, lrreversbe ui
cation of the points in dispute between the part
by vast majority Of the Freemen of the State.
