TO THE GALLANT WINGS OF OHIO

"Yon are beaten, but not conquered" You
stand erect before tie enemy, in full pos
session Of the political power of your own
State, ready, We trust, to maintain your
PRINCIPLES andiher INTEGRITY, against any
odds, and on all occasions. There isa dif-
ference between you and your opponents,
which marks distinctiVely the movements
of Ss2e two great parties, They seek pow
eTfor its enloluinents. You seek ito ad-
vance the common interest, on the broad
platform Of "protection to alP'--nct to cLdS-
ses or sections. Infhe pursuit 0f your OBJ
ject, you have been defeated4-zborne down,
by combination Of influences never be-
fore seen in this country in1so formidable
array. You have been beaten by Foreign
influence, combined with the SLAVE Power
Of the country You see the arm that has
given the blow. You saw it raised against
the industrial interest and free tabor of the
country. You saw the influences that d-
tected it. And you understand the sor-
did motives of the Northern Dough faces
that gave it force. Shall they succeed!-
No, NEVER! We hear the clear voice of
the noble army Of Wings Of Ohio, who
have stood shoulder to shoulder in the fight
that has redeemed their beloved State from
the spilers, echoing back the riote from hill
and Valley-NO, NEVER!
Then stand fast by your PRNcIPTfs,-
Maintain your ORGANIZATION. Suffer no
new object to call you of. Form no new
alliances. And in maintaining your prjA-
cipieS, maintain your NAME, Be not led off
by Natveism, or any otherism. The name
Of WING carries you back totthe Revolu-
ton, when names meant something, Your
principles are theprinciples Of the RevoIu-
ton, when British aggl ession provoked re-
sistance, You now feel the presence Of q
BRITISH influence among YOU, debating the
repeal Of your Tariff laws, and attempting
to control your foreign policy. You have
felt also the SLAVE power, combining with
a Foreign Nation, aided BY the desperate
speculator and sIock-jobber, bargaining for
an extension Of its boundaries and an in
crease of its weight in the Union. To
meet these issues, you need no new in
centive. Every Native=<every 3natwnHt-
ed citizen who loves his country more than
his party, will stand boldly up in support
of american interests, as opposed to For
eign interests; he will resist the StoUe pow
er, as he values Liberty and to do this
successfully, he must maintain his posi-
tion, and raise higher and higher the Wing
banner!
To the YouNG MEN Of the State, we es-
pecially appeal TO them the Country has
a rghtto look for generous aid. They are
led by honest impulses, which TOO often
are smothered by the man Of partisan pledg-
es. Their attachment to the Wing cause |.
springs not iroma love of party, but is on
Nv the outward manifestation Of II pure and
elevated l6ta'ff country, leading them to
sympathise and TO cooperate with itr de-
tenders. The Wing party Is proud ofsuch
aid. 1t boasts in its ranks large majority
of the Young Men of the State. To them
the country looks for presentsid and future
support. And we feel confident she will b
not be disappointed. Did we need any
assurance, we should draw itirom the deep
anxiety manifested hy them in the past
contest and its result. If any thing could
reconcile us 10 the disastrous issue, it would
he the conviction that we shall have their
aid Ffght the WrOHg and "Save sink
ing bnd!"
Po7he Whigs'of Ohio, we say Hgain.a-
stand fast by your principles. Hold your
opponents to the issues which they have
tendered--Texas, Ffee5trSde, and the Sub |
Treasury. Drive themi into the armsofth the
Slave dealer. Force upon them their Anti
American doctrines. They have chosen
their position--sEE THAT THEY OCCUPY IT.
