For the Spectator.

MIR. tditor,-l have just seen the resolutions
adopted on the 18th of July, by the Wing Cen
trail State Committee, and concur SO fully with
the views set forth in them. that have presumed
thus early to claim portion of your valuable
paper, for the purpose OF calling on the Wings
OF the 18th Congressional district, TO proceed. as
early possible, to that efficient Organization. so
necessary to ensure success in the APPROACH

DO not know, MIR. Editor whether it would
be entirely practicable for all these Mass Con.
