The hypocriical cunning of locoicoism
has never cxcrled itself more successfully
than in lis attempts " convert every scism IN
the wing ranks TO its own advantage. Itself
bound together by the adhesive power Of
party. which in view of public plumber is iss
firm as adamant, they arc ever prepared 10
leap into any breach which they discover be-
tween their adversaries, increase the fec
lion Of the parties, and by their seductive
arts aud intrigueS cnleavor TO WOO one or
the other 10 their own meri:ricous embrace.
flow completely are these observations ex-
empIiicd by the notice of n convention con-
tanned in our last paper, signed by MIR. Many,
because no man dare put his signature TO it.
The professed object of this movement is 20
present ticket for Senators upon the single
idea OF freeing the poor oppressed ireemen
of VI. from ''ahe slarcry Of self constituted
society" Thus cbaracterizing the united
and purely benevolent efforts of the most
worthy mud es,i4lable mea among US 10 fec
the word from horrid evil Which more than
any other has tended to degrade and brutal
ize the human species, and spread crime,
death, and moral dcsolatiou through commu-
nity. Tell MS not that this convention is not
a locofoco trick, bat that it is got up by men
of both parties who are sincerely ''desirOus
10 see religion and morality, The ofSpr;ngs o
truth and conscitacc. instead Of the creatures
Of legislation and hypocicy," rendered so by
The enactment OF the license law. We know
very well there are seine whi9s who think
they arc leading, hut who are nevertheless
led by the crafty magicians WIN arc ever "
H. low, aud stirring up the puddle for the
benefit of locoiacosn in this region. But
let not the wings he mace dupes ofsuch men,
4nd he drawn into tits vortex far worse rI.an
that CT 81 paryism. Ion complain that Sd
parry ahUlifionists arc absorbed in the contem-
Iia,ion of single IDEA, and forget all the
dearest Interests of the cona,ry ia the vain
pursuit. But If you forsake the candidates
already selected, you forget the unity and
triumph OF the great whig party, land all these
enlightened principles of public policy upon
which your own and the prosperity of the
country is based. The license law may be a
good or il bad law. We will not now under
take to pronounce upon its merits. But will
wings strike deadly blow at the wing party
asihe only justifable means of destroying
the license lawl Is this law indeed so des-
pcrate an evil as to require so desperate a
remedy Is the existence of a society COM
posed of the very best men OF both parties in
community, whose only aim is, and ever has
been tits enemies being judges to promote
the cause Of temperance, which even the
rumseller himself processes to espouse, and
no man however hardened in guilt dare con-
dennis the existence we say of this soce-
ty such crying evil, such an outrage upon
freedom, such an engine of despotism, as that
heaven and earth are to be moved, and the
veil of the wing party rent, for its annihia-
ton! Locofocoism is exultiDg with Joy in
the hope of this consummaton. Her drill
sargeants are running to and fro whispering
Jo" i"ho S'Siy SuSSeptiuiS edI iot It's d.
compiishment. Destitute of any native
strength in the county, if she can induce
wings on this ground to abandon their party
ticket, and get mp an anti-license ticket COM
posed of wings, she may promise 10 go for
it for the very purpose of victimizing those
whom she Processes to befriend.
And now Wings of Addison Coun,y. we
ask you whether you will aid in the move
ment Of game thus Matched into existence
by your adversaries, and by which they alone
will be benefited, and the Wing party detri-
mented should it be successful? Why
this hot and destructive haste to tear from
ibe statute book a law which the known
Difference OF the wing party to the popular
"ill will surely repeal whenever clearly de-
manded! Why sacrifice the glory of The
hhig party and increase The strength of the
