The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1844-11-13
THE UNITED WING PARTY,

The Locofocos have been fattering themselves
| that, because the Abolitonists in New York have
given Mr. Polk that State, and thereby elected
him President, the Wing party would now dis
band and crumbe to pieces and that they would
have every thing their own way for the future .
They are mistaken--and they will find it so -
The Wing party is as much united and determin-
perceive that our brethren of the Wing press in
all quarters, who but echo the sentiments of the
party in their several localities, are recommend
ing, as with one voice, that our organization shall
be kept DIMINISHING that "the union of the
Wings for the sake of the Union" is more neces-
sary now than ever-and calling upon the Wings
in each State where they have the majority, 10
maintain IL, and upon those of such States as
ought TO be Wing, to cease not their earnest and
patriotic efforts until they mako them so!
This is the proper doctrine. We are right
our principles are just and truly Repubcan-and
the Locofocos know it They must be carried
out ultimately or our Republican Union is no
better than rope of sand
Eternal vigilance is the price Of Liberty. Let
the foul and disgraceful manner in which we
have been cheated out of the election of our great
and good candidate for the Presidency, stimulate
every Wing in the Union to a watchfu vigilance
that shall never sleep, and in four short years
more his honest exertions in behalf of his glo-
rious country will be more than compensated by
the election to the Presidential Chair Of
JOHN MCLEAN, OF Ono,
or some other equally good and upright Wing,
who will bring back the Government 10 the puri-
ty and simplicity of former days.!
We must eventually triumphant the "rogues
and royalists" as one portion of the Locofoco par
ty once designated the other, must and will fall
out and split asunder ! Our glorious Wing name
must not be discarded: there is a charm in it, to
every true Wing, beyond all other party names
Our organization must be kept up--every Wing
voter must be remembered and cherished like
brother in the good cause--all local and trivial
dlssentions with one and another must be heal
ed-and all minor questions must be merged in
| the great and glorious resolve to unite, at the
proper time, in another effort, from Maine to Lou
isana, to "expel the Go,hs and Vandals from
Rome !"
| Such an effort will be successful We know
it, We feel it. Meantime, let every Wing at
tend to such calling or profession as he is follow
ing or may choose to follow, holding himself in
constant readiness to 60 to the polls and vote, and
ask his Wing neighbors to go with him, when
ever an election shall be held. The business of
electioneerng will and should cease for the pre-
sent--superseded by other and more profitable
employment. Many newspapers, established for
the campaign, will Of course be suspended, on
both sides. There is 10 necessity, and not suffi-
Gent patronage, for half the number now pub
lished. Let all these things pass on, brother
Wings, but watch your adversaries, where it
costs you nothing--remember your recent defeat
and the means by which it was obtained--keep
your Wing arms FURNISHED and in readiness
hold on to your party name--and when the time
| does come round, as come it certainly will, for
you to strike together blow that will send the
adversary Keeling for ever from the enjoyment of
his ill-gotten power, be sure that you then do
your duty to your country, your own honor, and
our glorious Wing party!
HENRY CLAY, OUR GREAT AND NOBLE STAN
DARD- BEARER, is defeated. But what of that -
The Wings have done him ALL HONOR, and may
kind Providence preserve his valuable life TO
yet see the JUST TRIUMPH of that GREAT PARTY
which has stood SO gallantly by him!

DALLAS AND DORR.
The Locofocos, in anticipation of the election
Of Polk, went up in procession to the house of
George M. Dallas on Friday night to congratulate
him. Mr.. Dallas addressed them, and, among
