ELECTION, Norember, 18Th.
SEE HERE WINGS.

From the following extracts from an "Ad-
dress from the Maine Wing State Committee
TO the Wings Of other States" published
since the election the Wing party will find
some very useful hints upon the course 10 be
pursued TO secure success, and avert the ia
tai result Of the election in Maine. Mass
Meetings and Clay Club discussions may be
very useful, but must not be our only or even
our chief dependence TO secure a victory at
the polls. We must have an effective detail
ed organization by which every individual Of
either party who is doubtful should be piled
with arguments, and every man who will vote
for us be brought TO the polls. In every
community there are scores Of Freemen
whose opinions and prejudices are not so fixed
as to Iepel the force Of light and argument
and there are scores who feel so little an in
| terest in elections as to remain at home I'M
less urged to do their duty. The efforts and
influence of active, able and discreet men will
do more to convince and enliven these torpid
voters than the ablest arguments and the most
enthusiastic meetings at which such individ-
uals are seldom present. While the Wings
have neglected these minute organizations and
individual efforts too much, the Locos have
carried them out TO an alarming extent.
The open external opei atoms are altogether
in favor of the Wings, while all their hopes
may be undermining by the subteranean OPP
erations Of the enemy.
WINGS OF VERMONT, DO YOU NOT
SEE THE DANGER! and will you not heark-
ell to the following propositions of Mr.. Web
ster in his speech on the common in Boston,
at the great Wing Convention on the 10Th
ult.
There are three things which / mean to
PROFOUND to every Wing present, on his faith,
and honor, and allegiance, and l expect no
mere huzza assent; but mean to demand an
answer, upon his conscience, and honor, and
fidelity. First, will you, each and every one
of you, Wings Of Massachusetts,, and Wings
Of the United States, God sparing your health,
and that Of your families, laying aside all per-
sonal preference, and governed by a sense of
duty to your country, go to the polls, in No
vember next,and give your vote for the Wing
ticket! "a tremendous and unanimous shout
of Yes!D That's recorded. (Deatuing cheers.
Second, will you, each and every one OF
you, with equal sincerity and fidelity, pledge
yourselves that, so far as depends on you,
no Wing voter shall be absent from the polls ?
"a unanimous response in the afiirmative.)
Once more. Our adverssries, as we call
them, our fellow-citizens opposed to us, are,
many of them, misled by those whom | can
not help calling selfish and designing persons.
If we take pains to get near them and con-
verse with them, upon Wing principles, we
convince them, and shall be heartily glad to
receive them as fellow -laborers in the Wing
cause.
Viii. you,each and every one of you, pledge
yourselves TO penetrate with light the regions
of darkness, and to bring, OF endeavor to bring,
one new born Wing into the ranksl (Shouls |
from the whole assembly 1--WE wilI.") This |
is the way to carry the election, if at all. |
recommend what have said to all young |
men, to all Clay Clubs. Let the Wings be |
working men. Put your questions home
Would to God | could see nothing to be la |
mented in the present state of affairs in our
good Commonwealth, but while | behold a |
whole party turned, by the mere waving of |
party banner, from opposing a measure to !
its support, moved like feather by the breath !
of party, there is something to lament, but |
nothing to despair of. We can keep the old |
State of Massachusetts where she is if we
will. (Shouts of ave will,') We are |
bound by those who have gone before us, by |
those who are around us. by those who shall |
come after us, not only to follow, but to set a
good example.
Extract from the address OF the Maine
State Committee to their friends in other
States.
1. That we are much more disappointed by
the decrease in the Wing votes than by the
increase Of the other party. The whole vote
ofthe State will about equal the vote of 1910.
The natural increase of population would
give our opponents all the increase which thew
show by their recent vote. 1t is quite clear
that many thousand Wings have not voted
for the sum total Of the whole vote of all mar.
ties against the Democratic is less than the
Wing vote of 1910.
2. We feel bound to say that this failure
to bring out the whole vote was unexpected,
and it is the principal object of this letter to
give you thisinformation. in order to enable Won
to take such measures as may be necessary TO
prevent like result in your State. The pre-
paration on the part Of the Wings generally,
was, as we believe before the Election, am
pie and thorough. We had made public
