A BUGLE BLAST.

"A BUGLE BLASA'
Who goes to Baltimore? Vermonts quota in the
Young Mems National Convention is 81 but to
win the splendid prize banner she must send more
than that. Who goes Steamboat and Railroad
fares are moderate-tho occasion will be such an
one as may never occur again for the young men
of every section of the Union to meet together
Let the delegates who have been appointed bear in
mind that they are expected to go, and that they
are also empowered to appoint other delegates.

YOUNG MEMS WIG NATIONAL CON-
VENTION OF RATIFICATION.
To The Young Wigs Of The United States:
FELLOW CITIZENS The Young Wings of Bal
tmore, assembled in Convention, have delegated
the undersigned TO solicit, in their name, your at
tendance OF the Young Mems Wing National Con
vention of Ratification, to be held in this city, on
Thursday, the second day of May.
The discharge Of this grateful duty require us
to enter upon no elaborate statement Of the reasons
which prompt us to desire your presence. The
Presidential canvass has already been opened be-
fore the Nation. Already the movements of the
people have begun to intimate the profound soCl-
tude they feel for the proper decision of the great
questions which have been the subjects of your ia
miiiar discussion and anxious thought. You have
nothing to learn to the political faith you profess
and nothing strengthen your conviction Of the
momentous extent to which the fortunes OF your
country depend upon its successful PRONUNCIATION.

Four years since, your enthusiasm burst forth,
upon this spot into flame, which burning, went on
unto victory We call upon you, again to light
your fires among us, at the altar Of the same patr-
otsm. Now, then, you have high principles to
animate your councils-high aims to consecrate
your action Embracing, in itself, all that is
prehensive and statesmanlke in policy; all that is
thoroughly and warmly American in scope and
spirit blending all that deserves the appreciation
Of the good with all that commands the favorable
judgment of the wise-yolT cause has right to
demand, that you should give your energies and
thoughts to its triumph. Upon the men by whom
that is to be represented before the country
the choice of National Convention has not, it is
true yet fallen The public feeling, however, ech-
oed in a unanimty of reclamation, has left no doubt
that the distinguished citizen has been, in fact al
ready chosen. upon whose genius, and wisdom, and
virtue, the confidence of party will chiefly rest
the hopes of the Republic. Upon his character,
comment is useless. 1t combines and illustrates
all the elements of nobleness which belong to the
American people. The source of ourhighest pride
it has been, not less the centre Of our warmest
affection. 1t was made for nations reverence
ii has earned a nations gratitude. Place can lend
it no dignity, higher than its own. The Office to
which Washington gave lustre is the sphere to
which its greatness belongs.
Against our principles, sustained by such cham
pion what opposition do we find arrayed? So far
as the discord, which results from unsettled prncl-
pies and conflicting personal ambition, has permit
ted any thing like certainty to spring from the ac-
ton of our opponents it seems that they have no.
thing to offer but another trial of the men and
the same measures already so sgnally overthrown.
What they can promise to themselves from such a
policy it is not easy for us to imagine, nor is it
needfu that we should enquire. 1t may be that
their estimate of popular intelligence and consis-
tency suggest to them that Reproduction by the peo
pie four years since furnishes the surest guaranty
of the peoples admiration now Perhaps they
have some hone that their champions may gain in
sympathy, as political martyrs, what was denied to
them in respect, as political saints. BE that how
ever, as it may, to them-to us, the revival Of the
old war-cry but revives in tenfold force every ele
ment of our former resistance. We deem their
men and measures now-as we deemed them when
they last received sentence of condemnation-un-
worthy the confidence of the country-hostle to
all that can promote her welfare dangerous to the
purity and permanency of her excellent institutions.

corrupt, nor political imbecility less mbece. They
are now what they were before. They can be dis
committed now, as they were routed then! Let our
feow-Whigs, therefore, apply themselves to the
task. 1t is easy, but it is of solemn import Let
the young men of the Nation gather themselves to-
gether! The country has need Of their united de-
liberatons
We have lately eXerted ourselves, not unsuccess-
fully,here in Maryland, to make our State proper
rallying ground for the great Whig Council. We
have shown to our countrymen Wing victory,
thorough and glorious, as the best pledge of our
devotion to the common cause. We present them
regenerated Commonwealth, as our worthiest and
most acceptable offering. 1t is to The Wing city Of
Baltimore-Whig at last, from centre to crcuuter-
ence--that we bid them make their pilgrimage OF
duty. Our banner is but waiting to be unfoded by
their hands Our homes are as open to receive
them, as our hearts will be to give them welcome.
Come, then, teliO,c-citizenS, from far and near.-
Let the East and the West assemble in fellowship
Let the olden brotherhood of the North and the
South be once more cemented, by common deyo
ton to a righteous cause. That and its sue
cess demand your presence! We shall be prepar
ed to greet you
