OUR STATE ELECTION-THE WHO
CONVENTION.

On the tenth day OF november, TWO lnohtS
from this day, the general election takes place
this Commonwealth. The time has arrived whe
our friends throughout the State, should begin tt
make due preparations for that important event
Old Massachusetts, must be kept straight and
steady in the Wing track She must stand true
to her principles and steadfast in her faith.
What noble example does the result of the
last years contest in this State afford to our Wing
brethren in every succeeding election. Never
did an election take place under adverse,
embarrassing, and dispiriting circumstances, than
that of lS44, to the Wings of Massachusetts,. One
month before that election, they had every rea-
to believe, and they did firmly believe, that
their party would succeed in the then pending
National Election They thought they were sure
of the election of their beloved and cherished
didate for the Presdency-and, "a his election,
they fondly looked forward to the permanency OF
Wing measures, the preservation OF the Tariff, the
rejection Of Texas, and the prevalence of peace
throughout the civilized world
Before the day of the Massachusetts, election,
last year, all these happy andcipations were pios
trated-all these high hopes were dashed TO the
ground. BY the meanest articles, and the gross
est frauds, our political enemies had secured to
themselves the National power. The fittest
in the Nation, for its Chief Magistrate, had been
rejected-and another, scarcely known as pub
lie man, and with no peculiar fitness for the office,
had been elevated to the highest station in the
country. The Wing party was beaten. Loco
focoism was triumphant
Under such circumstances, 1t might well have
been expected that the Wings Of Massachusetts,
-chagrined and dispirited at an nglorious defeat,
where the right was on their side, and where
they had good reason to expect triumphant VIC
tory-Would have retired from the contest Alto
gether, or at least, would have come reluctantly
into the field of this minor contest. when the great
battle of all had been lost
In this respect, however, the Wings of Massa-
chusetts disappointed and delighted their friends
throughout the country. The indomitable spirit
Of their Pilgrim ancestors appeared to animate
them. They turned with resistes energy, upon
their exulting political enemles-and gave their
foes to understand that, if they had been beaten
in the National contest, they should have no foot
hold in the good old state of Massachusetts,
! What noble exhibition of patriotic ardor, and at
tachment to the character and honor of our State,
was evinced by the Wings, in that election. All
was not lost. There was something yet to be
| saved. Massachusetts was worth an effort
| They made it, in her behalf-and most signally
and goriously they triumphed. Our enemies at
home were COMPOUNDED. Our friends, through
out the Union were delighted. The highest en-
coniums were echoed and fe-echoed--from one
end OF our land to the other-from every Whg
source-in commentator of this noble and sue
cessful effort of the Wings of Massach dsetts.-
Fairly were those praises won-well and richly
were they deserved. No State in the Union gave
Mr. Clay better vote than Massachusetts,. Nc
one came off more satisfactorily, throughout hei
whole State election. Every opposing element
was struggled against The Wings of Massachu
sets were thoroughly and effectively triumphant
Now-another contest comes on. Our State i:
called MASSACHUSETTS, still. She is the
same good old State that she was last year She
is just as worthy to be loved, and blessed, and
honored, as she ever was. She is just the same
clever old mother to us that she has always PROV
| herself-and just well entitled to the sympa-
thy, succor and support Of her good Wing sons.
Well, then, Whig brethren-let us come for
ward again and do our duty, manfully and faith
fully, to our State. Let us keep her where she
is-under the safe and salutary auspices of good
Wing administration. Let every Wing make up
his mind at once, that he has duty to perform
and then go and do it.
Our State Central Committee have called con-
vention, to be holden in Faneu Hall, on Wednes-
day, the oath inst The object of the meeting is
to nominate candidates for Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor, and to transact such other business
pertaining to the affairs Of our Party, as may be
brought forward for its consideration
The Wings, in all the cities and Towns of our
Commonwealth are called upon to choose Their
Delegates. tits time, now, that the Delegates
should be chosen. 1t is very important that eve
ry city and town in the State should be represe MT
ed in Faneu Hail. on that occasion. We cal
upon our Wing friends to attend to this duty i'm
mediately. Let there be full Convention of Del.
egates-and let them consider what the position
of the National and State affairs demand at the
hands of the Wings of Massachusetts.-Bo Boston
