ORGANIZE, WINGS!

We insert below the beginning and conclud-
ing paragraphs Of an eloquent appeal to the
w higs Of the Union by the New York Tribune :;
we have heretofore called attention to the SUBJ
ject, and believe that nothing remains to accom-
plish The, good work but to carry out the recon-
mendation. Although from every quarter, North,
South, East, and West, the note of preparation
pours in upon us, still there is room for more.
Organise we say, Forthwith; let every friend Of
HENRY CLAY who means to do duty in the fight
report himself at once. Is jaaa 81 aa
"FRIENps OF HENRY CLAY it is high time
we were earnestly, zealousy, universally engage
ed in preparing the Public Mind for the Great
Contest of 1874. Some of us are so, but few
cannot do all that must be done. There are One
Million and a Half Of Wing Voters in the Union,
many of whom need to be aroused and supplied
with renewed evidence of the identity Of Wing
Principles and Measures with the Public Interest
and Welfare; there are many thousands beside,
who have never taken any decided part in Poll
tics and may be won to our side by proper and
seasonable effort If there be One Hundred
Thousand Of us resolved to do all in our power
for the ensuing ten months, our victory is certain
Who will not be one of the Minute Men Of this
Contest? Let no man neglect his business let
none spend in Electioneering the money that is
needed to pay his debts and support his family.
The Cause requires no breach Of duty from any
man-it wants no man to come begging for Of
fee in AS on the assumption that he has let his
own affairs go to wreck while attending to those
OF the Nation. Such man confesses himself
unfit for any responsible charge, and should not
have any. " andering speech-makers, who
bring no weight Of character into the contest,
can do no essential service, but there is work for
all, and now is the time to set about it, Let us
begin at once - 50
WHO'S Of every calling Realize the advan-
tage of early and harmonious action Organize
in every village and neighborhood, no matter if
there be but FIVE Of you, and make quiet and ju-
dcious preparation for the coming campaign,
Five good men in a township, thoroughly unit
ed, and working hearty for the Cause, not for
themselves, can make a difference of 20 votes
equal TO 100000 in the Union. Do not let the

FALsEHoop-" Pennsylvania fell under the
control" &C." Biddle"-Bank," &c.
FAcT-The Wings and Antimasons have had
control of the State but three years out of the
last thirty, During that time, the credit of the
Stale never stood higher, nor were its finances
managed better. 1t borrowed money, to be sure.
to carry on works commenced, and to meet en-
gagements entered into,by the Governor Wolf
Administration but it borrowed on more advan-
tageous terms than any administration ever had
done, and "Gf our memory serves us)" the pub
hc debt was actually decreased one Hundred thou
sand dollars during those three years!

shire, Virginia, South Carolina, and Missouri
that they have not run into debt and embarrass-
ment. As to the national debt, the falsehood Of
charging that upon the Wings, has been SO often
nailed to the Globes brazen front, that it is USE
less to nail it there again. The Locofoco party,
then, it will be seen by the facts, is "the debt
making party" and they are more, they are the

ABSENCE OF MIND Amusing incidents some
times occur among grave Legislators. One of
this character, too good to be lost, occurred in
the Senate chamber yesterday. Mr.. BARLEY,
Speaker of the Senate, during fit of absent
mndedness, probably thinking Of Mest Spirits
and all sorts of very pleasant afairs) as the SEN
ate were about going into Committee. Of the
Whole suddenly cast his eye towards Mr..
Gabriel worthy Wing Senator, and said
Mr.. Angel will take the Chair" Mr. Gabriel
was taken all aback, and looked wonders, Mr.
Eckley quietly leaned towards him and told him
that he was The man. Not being aware of any
very intimate relationship between himself and
the angel Gabriel, of whom the Speaker was
possibly thinking, he refused to move, and the
Speaker called another person to the Chair, and,
with evidentsmarks Of confusion, apologised for
the mistake he had made asaf7a v

who lives in the family of Nicholas Gordon, has
been examined in relation to the murder of Mr..
Sprague. Her testimony has not been made pub

suspicion still more strongly upon the men ar
rested. We are informed that we were mistaken
in saying that Nicholas Gordon had threatened
Mr.. Sprague. There are various rumors afoat,
but nothing beyond what we have published has
reached us in reliable shape. Hardly any doubt
is entertained that the persons arrested were con-
cerned in the deed''
