The political skies are very bright
throughout Pennsylvania for the glorious Wing
party, and their no less glorious men. From
every town and hamlet in the old Keystone, the
glad shouts OF the sanguine Wings are to be
heard, and an easy victory over our already pros
rate foe is anticipated. Yet you can see by the
active exertlons everywhere making by the
friends of Clay, Frelinghuysen and Markle, that
our anticipated victory will not be lost to us by
our own supineness. 1t would do you good,
know, if you could be with Us and witness the
cordially with which we all go to work, and the
hearty good will with which We pull together for
the chosen leaders of the vast Wing host. Loco.
ocoisn is dying away here like rotten sheep.
and is whitening before the heartily expressed
Indignation OF the people like one of its own vile
poke. weeds, " hen torn from Ne root and exposed
to the beams of the sun. You know what good
ola Lancaster county has done heretofore, yet
you can form no idea Of what she is about tn do

foul Lacoioco party from our glorious soil, and
come out ct the contest covered all over with
victory We can scarcely count the charges
from Locoocosn To The Wings any more, so

We had glorious Convention on the 25th Of
July. Our glorious v big ladies' were out in al!
their loneliness, and their sweet smiles and gentle
voices all were given to forward on the good Wing
cause. The people came up in crowds to hear
measures discussed, and TO seal anew their allie
glance to the country and the country's cause.
Thousands met here on that day and on the 9Th
day OF September, if you feel inclined to see the
vast hosts Of the "Od Guard" marshalled again,
come up to Lancaster city then. The people will
be there in their might, with their songs, their
banners, their music, and their unconquerable en-
thusiasm. 1t will be gathering worthy of the
