first order, long associated with Mr.. Clay in
the Senate of the United States, and every
way worthy to be his Lieutenant on this oc-
casion.
1t is with such candidates that we enter
the contest with our political opponents
Can there be a doubt as 10 the result? With
Mr.. Van Buren, as the candidate of our oppo-
nents, even they seem to anticipate our tri-
umph, as many of them are seriously con-
templating his withdrawal, and the substitu-
ton of another in his stead. The result of
any movement of that kind is entirely i'm
material to us. Their odious Sub-Treasury
Standing Army,l Anti rotection Low, Wa
ges, Currency-destroying, One Man Power,
Prodigal Expenditures, Treasury Implying,
and other blighting Locofoco measures and
doctrines, must weigh down and PROSTATE
all the candidates they can bring into the
contest. A change of candidates can avail
them nothing. Our opponents cannot shut
their eyes, if they would, TO the results of
the recent elections, filling them with dis
may, and US with Joy and delight. Since
the general elections for members to the pres
ent Congress took place, there have been
sixteen vacancies to fill. Ofthese the Wings
have carried every district, except two, one
in Maine and one in Virginia; and these two
escaped by the skin oftheir teeth. Even Vir-
ginia, the strong hold of our opponents, has
given way, and will DO doubt remain with US
hereafter, as her recent elections clearly de-
monstrate.
We have, at the late elections, carried
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Geor-
gia, Maryland, Ohio, Massachusetts, Yer
mont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Virginia,
and a majority ofthe Congressman in Penn
sylvania, while our opponents have maintain
ed a trembling position in New Hampshire.
These signs of the times, with others of a
similar character, are attributed by some of
our opponents to the waning popularity of
Mr.. Van Buren,, their proclaimed candidate,
hence, we hear them daily speaking of his
withdrawal. We think they charge to the
unpopularity ofthe man, much of what has
r been produced in the public mind by their
attempt to press their odious and condemned
measures on the country. The people, in
the language of General Jackson in his let
ter to DR.. Coleman. are becoming too much
/, sAmericanized' to submit longer TO the Brit
ish Locofoco doctrines and measures of ouI
opponents. True Democracy must prevail
in this country. The principles that con.
l trolled the true democratic administrations
of our government, and from which our op
ponents have departed, are the principles O
f the Wing party, and the measures similar c
= those adopted by them, are the measure:
3 for which we are contending. Our meas
ures must triumph now, as they have here
|, tofore.
While we repeat with pleasure, our con
E CALCULATIONS that our prospects have arrived
to a degree of certainty, that we believe no
4 thing short ofthe death of Mr.. Clay will dis
: appoint, still to secure our entire triumph il
November, it is all important for us to carry
J the State Elections in August. We can d.
r this if we will. But to wish for such a result
V is not enough, we must work, we must all d.
/ our duty, our whole duty. Our opponents
are ever vigilant, we must meet them, or W.
shall not deserve success, EVENT. we shoult
attain it. Let our friends in the several coun
ties see to it, that the right number OF can
+" didat es, and no more, be presented to thu
n people for each Office. Let every Wing b.
at the polls, and discarding all minor consid
e~rations, and personal differences vote tn
= whole Wing ticket; and the result will shey
our beloved state redeemed, and once NOR
Of standing in her true position among he
Id Wing sisters in August, while a still NOR
= glorious triumph will await US in Novembe
is when We will be called upon to swell tn
if majority of the Wing candidates for Pres
n dent and Vice President OF the Unite
OF States.
