the reply Of the Green Bay Republican to
the charge Of the Milwaukee Sentinel, thai
the editor ofthe Republican voted for Mr..
Martin. The Republican employs about a
half column Of fine type, in great protesta-
tons Of patriotism and devotion 10 the wig
cause, inlermixed with proper degree of
indignation, without once conlradicilng the
charge; on the contrary the only CONCLUSION
the reader can draw is that the charge is
true.

To THE POLLS! YOU WHO ARE WINGS, BE
WHIGS,"


Bolts concluded his mastery speech at Odd Fellows
Hall Tuesday night, with this admonon, worthy of oil
scceptston! IT you ARE Wings, BE Whigs." The
meaning Of il is VOTE your prnciples-your convictions
your judgment. Suffer not yourself be carried off
from them by any eyanescent and improbable ques-
ton about MEN, Men but tools in the hands
OF the country to work the results of eternal wis
dom IL is species Of Heahensm, and a reproach to
citizen when he permits his affection men to inter-
fere with the high duties which the Republican citizen
in this country owes his country, and those immense
and ncalculable results which he has every reason
to think, as well as TO hope, that Almighty Power
which prefers work by secondary causes proposes to
accomplish through American Republicansm. Liberty,
Civilization and Christian Propngsndsm!
Lot men we fellow citizens be considered nil,
No. Wings there is but safe course-there mover is
but oAe-t is TO stand up your principles at all tines
IN all places, under oil circumstances. and without fear
vor or Affection Put aside-weigh them against
principle II your futhcr-f your broher-woud misre
present your honest convictions, put them asde-eent.
y and aiiechonaiely, yet firmly and decidedly -
This is your RsputIiean duty This is part Of
the price you must pay be FREE in this warning world
As we are told that in strife gain eternal bliss we
must sacrifice every thing which initiates against that
premc good-so this worlds greatest good, liberty
sweet and glorious LIBERTY be obtained by cor
responding sacrifices.
To the Polls Wings! Bolts, Sfsnard, and Brooke is
the true Wing Ticket which, IL the Wings respect their
principles and their cause, will DO sustained to-day!
