ORGANIZATION
The Democratic Party have every prospect oil
carving Virginia, by a triumphant inaJoriif'-
But the Wings, though cowed, are desperate
They are Dragging 10 the top Of their benz; mn
they are spariny no pairs 10 carry oft their
brarradoci;s They are attempting 10 carry The
Citadel: and even if Henry Clay were elected,
they would moi l,. satisfied so long as "Mordccai
sal in the Kings satr" They would feel their
whole triumph cclipscd b. the loss OF Virginia.
They woud affect 10 rejoice as MI Clay ana III
40 that thew were mo longer embarrassed 10y her
peculiar opinions" but they would feel Their VIC
lorv overcast, and their march TO Federal ap'lses
arrested by the glorious and intonitable spirit Of
the Old Dominion. They know, that The unlerIi-
fled Commonwealth would again raise aloit her
illuslrous banncr-mainlain her ancient prif-
ciples-rally the whole Republican Pary-and
stay the rnpid and arrogant march of The con
querins Hero"
They mus, carry Virginia if they can. They
wan, her vote 10 elect Ii. Clay. They :eel, with
all their aasconade and all their hoasiln@, lhat
pnlcss they can secure the four large States oil
the Union he cannot be elected. For TINS rea-
son. they are attempting 10 carry New ORR, anu
Pennsylvania, and Ohio, by Coalitions and Pipe
| layincs. They are laboring TO carry Virginia
/
this point they are concentrating their artillery
| and inundainc her soil with the slangwhangcls oil
the South, the North and the West. They have
| been manufacturing fictitious votes, upon noun
! tain lands. They are now projecting
scheme for changing the rules OF suffrage, at this
! eleventh hour-when the trumpet is almost ready
Ia sound the charge OF bat,lc-nd Wnen The l'dinSS
I of the innovation could not be communicated To
onr Democratic friends nor 10 the Commission
Il of flFI
State. They are determined 10 carry Virginia,
! if their exertions can effect the oblect-tiT> To
bring H. Clay into power-and next, 10 speed
on his administration 10 The accomplishment OF his
iavori;e and pernicious measures.
Republicans of Virginia! we call upon You 10
prevent the contamination Of his wishes. P,ii
down This humbugging man worshirping party.
Put down this aspiring, inoon-rcachlng' Die
tator who has deserted all your principles, ard
asks YOU 10 reward him for his apoStacy. Put
down this ambitious candidate of 25 years stand
ing-the rowing eleclionecrer-lhe Proiean letter
wri,cr-,he Federalist in prnciple-he opponent
OF Texas-who cannot obtain the support Of the
people, without striking up some new coalition
with the Aboitionisis and the " Natives"
We call upon You to do yonr duty every man
of YOU II is not too late TO organize yourselves;
TO cnergiZe your comlnceS-lo list your vo!crs-
to circulate your Electoral Ticket>-aEd 10 pre-
pare To bring every man 10 the polls Work 10
| The last-.organze in every possible way-and
fear not the results. You will carry the State
triumphanlly. Despise their wooden cannon
the boastngs OF these sasconading Wings. They
! brag of every Thing. They affect 10 claim Penn
sylvania, and publish letters got up for the pur-
| pose ofdeception. They claim y. York, where
! thev are destined To be overhrown. They even
! pretend to claim the Old Dominon-whcre, il
you Go your duty on the lIh OF November, YOU
! will sweep their scattered and disheaucncd CO.
! borts, hy a majority oil 5000. 10 arms. Thea
| and strain every muscle, until The going down OF
! the sun on the It'll of November.
The Richmond Wing already holds the lash Of
! prescription over the Tree people OF Virginia.
\ He threatens 10 remove John Rutherford from
the Executive Council We laugh the threat 10
scoIn. Lc, him Try it, and see il h. can succeed! ;
and if he does mccced, in carrying ont his threat
| then let the Wings answer tor it TO the indignant
! pconle of the State The Richmond Wing ought
| 10 know, (if he docs not, he is moi competent 10
pronounce about Col Rutherford, } that no man
is more attentive to his duties, because no man is
| more industrious and economical OF his time
| and that he attends 10 the duties of the office.
which he holds in the Insurance Company, and
| that he EMPLOYS no more deputies 10 do lis bust
| ness Than were engaged by his most respectable
| and industrious predecessor. He devotes his
time. ont Of his Office hours, 10 lis duties; and no
man can complain OF their faithful e1ecnlicn.-
Does the State suffer bv The neglect of his Execu-
tive functions? Ask his colleagues Ask the
Wing officers in the Capitol They surely will
| no, call for the iaii of the eul,o.ne upon hiS
neck. We cannot doubt, but that they VIII be ami
mated BY the most liberal spirit towards him or
towards any officer, who happens TO diher with
them on politics A Republican Legislature re-
srected them in their possession OF ofice-and ii
viii be disgrace 10 the Wing party 10 begin the
race of prescription,
| The Wing, loo, threatens us already with Inc
lerrors of II. Clays name. "Thc Wing maori

parties here. ltistime to teach some PEOPLE, that

and his friends in the State Governmen, are then 10

event. ia there nothing which our modest friend of
the Wing will condescend 10 accept Is there
no Office, which he will consent 10 take2-
What does he say to The Clerkship Of the
House OF Delegates-perhaps Col. Rnthcrioori's
ofIice-or does he look TO Henry Clay for his
reward? Some new Mcssengcrship 10 South
| America perhaps-somc distant prot onsulship-
some Clerk,hip at Washington-or does his am
bition aspire TO Department. Dare this man
come before the nation, and say at once, There
is nothing which Henry Clay has 10 give which
will ask, or which will accept'-and thus clear
his skirts at once of the suspicion of sweeping out
Offices that he may stand the chance OF getting
| one for his august self Who knows, but if it
rains boards, he may put on his chin in the
Storm, and catch one for himselfl Who knows,
but in the new shower OF Offices, some splendid, or
perhaps some pretty appointment may fall 10 his
