WINGS, TO YOUR ARMS !

Again we call upon all Wings who may see
this number of our paper to do their duty to their
party and their country. But three days remain
between this and the election in Pennsy vania--
and only FIVE before the election takes place in
Maryland and Virginia, as well as twelve other
States! Be up and doing! We tell you the
Locofoco leaders mean that all their voters shall
be out. illyou, Wings, then, remain inactive I!
See Mr.. Secretary Wilkins, of the War De-
partment, and Mr.. S. Humes Porter, (who was
once Acting Secretary of War, and, in the abb
sence of the Acting President and his Cabinet
Secretaries, took it upon himself to call cabinet
council of the acting secretaries, over which he
presided with neffable foolishness y who went to
Pennsylvania to electioneer and vote in the Gu
bernatorial election, now posting off again to cleo
tioneer and vote for Polk and Dallas, Free Trade
and Texas! Will Wings, then, stay at home,
when they have the right to vote Away with
the thought, if entertained for moment, and 90
and perform your duty like Wings! Once more
we call upon each and every one of you to go
and vote, who have the right to do So

FROM MEXICO.

BY the arrival of the schooner Virginia Antoi-
nette, we have received papers from the city of
Mexico to the 2Sth ult, and from Vera Cruz to
the Sd instant. The Hesperia Of the 2lst stales
that President Santa Ana had granted permission
to Gen. Sentmanat's family to exhume his re-
mains and transport them to New Orleans.
The papers publish the particulars of the out
rage committed on the person of Taziere, the
French sailor. 1t appeared he was beaten cru
ely and maltreated in the most infamous manner.
The Mexican papers are attempting to show that
Taziere is naturalized Mexican" and cannot,
therefore, claim the protection of France.
President Santa Ana has issued circular sta
ting the conditions upon which foreigners are
allowed to enter the Republic by way Of the from
tiers 1st. They must enter the country by one
of the places designated for the trade with the
United States. I'd. All passports are to be pre-
scented to the custom-house collector at such
point. Sd. A formal acknowledgment of submits
sion to the laws and authorities of the nation du-
ring his residence in the country.
No passport can embrace more than one per-
son, except such are delivered to fathers of
families, which may include their wives and sons
under sixteen years.
The preceding articles apply to all foreigners
travelling by the places indicated
No passport will be delivered except for one
designated point, and can only serve for such
place.
The fifth article states the formalities to be OBJ
served by the custom-house collectors.
The sixth provides for the expulsion of all TO-
regners who may obtain admission into the ter
ritory by other means than those pointed out in
the preceding articles.
Those foreigners who may have come into the
country prior to the PRONUNCIATION of this decree
are allowed to remain, provided their conduct has
been irreproachable, and they have complied with
the laws relating toresidence Of foreigners; other
wise they are subject to expulsion within delay
not exceeding six months.
A decree has been proposed by the Minister Of
Finance closing to foreign vessels all other ports
of the Republic save those of Vera Cruz, Santa
de Tamaulipas, (Tampico,) Campeachy, and Aca-
pulco Foreign commerce can be carried on in
the other ports, but exclusively by Mexican ves-
ses.--N. 0. Bee.

REMEMBER (!

THE MAN WHO VOTES FOR POLK
Votes to restore the system of Public Defauhing,
by which the Treasury was robbed of millions,
and the country dishonored
He votes to restore the Monarchical Sub-Ired
sury Sytem, which will give the President the
control of the Public Purse, as well as the
National Sword.
He votes for a revival of the infamous scheme of
a Standing Army of t,oo hundred thousand
men, to enable the Executive to overawe and
put down the People.
He votes to restore the system of Experiments
and Erpedients, by which the country has been
once already ruined, and will be again, if Polk
and his advisers are invested with power.
He votes to restore Extravaganza and Profigacy
in the public expenditures instead of Economy
and Honesty.
He votes for system of Public Loans and Pub
lic Debt, by which Eternal Taxation will be
entailed upon the country. t
He votes for the issuing of Treasury Notes-Er-
cheguer BAs-by which the Chief Magistrate
and his Cabinet may expend as much money
as they please, without consulting Congress,
and in violation Of the spirit of the Constitu-
ton.
He votes to sanction the principle that the Presi-
dent may, on all occasions, set up his individual
will in opposition to that of the people, express
. ed through their Representatives, and thus to
control the Legislation of the National Con-
gress-thus to establish firmly the One Man
Po,oer, and prepare the way for an armed
Master of the People.
He votes to restore the system of Jobs and Party
Fauoritism, by which band of Government
Observation-Disclosures Guards-are constitu-
ted at the public expense, TO perpetuate an in
dvdual or party dynasty.
He votes to restore Governmental policy, by
which Free America will be bound hand and
foot, and brought back to a condition of Colo
nial Dependence upon Great Britain.
He votes to break down American Industry, A.
merican Capital, and American Prosperity and
independence, that Foreign Nations and For
egn Interests may ride rough-shod over them.
And, finally,
He votes for Dissolution of the Union, that a
Southern Confederacy may be built up, to give
power and place to disappointed, discomfort
ed, and traitorous clique, who would rather
"regn in hell than serve in Heaven!"
Here is list, plainly written out, of what you
will be required to do, among other equally dan
gerous things! How like you the work that
demagogues and plotters against the glory of the
Republic have laid out for you TO do?

MELANCHOLY AND DISTRESSING RAILROAD
AccIDENT.-As the morning train Of cars from
Springfield was on it's way to Albany, and when
few miles from Pittsfcld, at one Of the cross.
lngs the engine came in contact with two horse
team, throwing down the horses, breaking in two
the wagon, and instantly killing the unfortunate
driver Such scene wish never to witness
again. The first intimaton the passengers had of
the accident was an unusual and fearful Earring of
the cars, causing all to spring from seats
much alarmed. Twas but moment before the
train stopped, and the passengers rushing to the
door, discovered the cause of their alarm. Spring.
ing from the cars, with the conductor in advance
we ran to the Inflated spot. Such spectacle as
met our eyes beggars description. Upon one
side OF the track lay the wreck Of the wagon !;
standing upon the other side were the horses, and
before us, upon the track, lay the manged and
bloody corpse, and scattered all around were frag-
ments of the torn and mutated body-Al5any

Their then or few years subsequently, but no
thanks TO the Locofoco candidate for Governor
The same state of things now exists in South
Carolina. The people are denied the inestima-
bic right of choosing their ruler, and the Wings,
the genuine Democracy, ever true to the people,
have proposed, and are now trying to change this
arisocratic order of things. They wish to put
this important power in the hands of the people.
Bat the Locofocos won't listen to the change which
they say will subject the wealthy Locofoco aris-
tocracy to the "majority legislation" of the COM
mon people.

THE NATIVES.

The Locofocos having formed a corrupt coali-
ton with the acting President, and another with
the candidate of the Abotionsts, and being con-
victed of these nefarious bargains, have attempt
ed, by way of set off, to charge the Wings with
forming coalition with the Native Americans.
But no such coalition exists; and the returns of
the Gubernatora election in the city and county
of Philadelphia, shows, that had the Natives CO.
alesced with the Wings, Gen. Marke would have
been trumphantly elected. But the Locofocos
themselves have been detected in an effort to
coalesce with the Natives, as will be seen by
the following paragraph from the New York Tri-
bune
" But yesterday the publisher of the Evening
Post was caught at the very business he charges
on the Whigs-viz intriguing for Native votes.
He went TO Alderman Winship, (Native) of the
Thirteenth Ward, and urged him to preside at a
Native Meeting to promote the election of Polk
and Dallas The Alderman respectfully declined,
and the ey-Alderman of the Post incontinently
sIoped. Isn't he pretty fellow, to accuse the
Wings of intriguing for Native votes!"
There is no prejudice, party, sect, or clan, in
any portion of the United States, which the Lo-
cofocos have not appealed to, and to which they
have not made some promise upon condition Of
supporting their desperate cause. They are al
lied with the Nulfers, with the Abolitonists,
with the Mormons, with the Texas land specula-
tors, and have done all in their power to array all
foreigners and Catholics, in solid column, against
the Wings. If they have not succeeded in these
last attempts, it is owing to the intelligence and
patriotism of the classes appealed to. No outlay
of lies and impostures has been spared to seduce
the entire body of adopted citizens, as we'll as all
who profess the Catholic Religion, into the un-
holy alliance of Locofocoism.
Not shadow of evidence exists that the Wings
have any wish to prescribe either of the classes
referred to- on the contrary, the whole course of
the Wings has been liberal and enlightened,
measuring out even-handed justice and civil
equality to all.

WHERE'S GLENTwoRTH!

We understand that the notorious J. d. Ste
benson, of New York, who was the partner or
adjunct of the Locofoco Glentworth, and who as
sumed false name to go to Philadelphia in, and
look after Glentworth, and who afterwards got
b. F. Butler to pledge Glentworth that he would
divide his last crust" with him if he would only
charge all his pipelaying upon the Wings, is now
in this city imparting comfort to the Responding
Locofocos here, by declaring to them that COM
plele understanding has been effected in New
York city between the democrats" and the
7" Native Americans" by which the Locofocos
have agreed to desert their own tickets for Con-
gress and the Legislature, and go for the Ma
twists tickets, while the Native Americans will
support Polk and Dallas and Wright!
Where's Glentworth? We marvel he is not
here with Stevenson, to help to make the atter's
boast appear reasonable! However, the Loco
oco leaders of this city are so familiar with Ste
venson's connexion with Glentworth and the
pipelaying business, that they will, no doubt,
greedily swallow all he says.

THE SPIRIT OF LocoFocoIsM.

Prior to the year 1924 the people of New York,
like, those Of South Carolina at present, were de-
barred the high and responsible privilege Of vo-
ting for tho President Of the United States. Tie
electors were elected by the Legislature, and in
that year twas proposed to change the system,
giving the election 10 the people. The Hon.
n Silas Wright, now Locofoco Senator and cand
date of that party for Governor .of New York,
was member Of the Legislature, and roted
against The proposition 10 gire The election 10 The
people. The change was, however, effected e-

ANOTHER NEW SEcT.-In New York limited

cred in the Broadway Tabernacle, advertisements
in the morning papers having announced there
a meeting Of a new sect called Christian Israel

in the rear, stretched semi circle of women of
devout appearance, wearing large bonnets of an
