THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

We recognise in the following Resolu-
tons, adopted at Wing Convention held
at Carthage, Ohio, on the 4th instant, the
right spirit, the general diffusion of which,
when the time comes for serious action, can
not fail 10 ensure to the Wing party, through
out the whole Union, triumphant success:
Resolrei, That the name of Wing is in the history
name honorable among fnen-assoclaed with the
love OF hberty-dlstmgnshed for resistance against
Observation-Disclosures for what it has DONE and TO
be desired for what it would do.
Resoired, That to the brave there IS no despair;
that the hour OF adversely should be the hour Of effort
and that as the Wings Of the Revolution conquered
all obstacles, md became victor ous IN defeat, We,
ike lhen will contlnue to struggle for our country
and, trying to deterve success look forward with
hope and confidence from disastrous past to go-
rious future.
The following resolution was adopted at
late preparatory meeting Of the Wings in
New York.
Resoired, That in triumph or diasier, in glory or
gloom, there is ONE American Statesman whom we
| can never cease to regard with confidence and love
allied TO veneraion; that, in the great ca hmy OF last
try our second were of him and since then, when
ever gladdencd by lidngs which US that the
| reign OF shutting ncompeiency and mousing medic
criy approaches lis end, our hearts instinctively
prompt the exclamation,
Here's TO you, HARRY CLAY"
The allusion to HENRY CLAY was received with
loud, long, prolracted shouts and cheers.

our duty TO caution our eastern friends
against several individuals of this description
who haul from this place. These men are
Canadians, who not only cruise themselves,
but employ a large number Of subordinates
to beg for them. Some of them they hire BY

horse and cart, and receive half The spoils.

The country is allotted on, to them by the
manager, so that they do not interfere with

their collections during the summer. The
head man visits these from time to time
during the season, and disposes of the more
bulky and less valuable portion Of the arti.

thick pork, no piece Of which would weigh
over four pounds and an flicer who had

every immaginable article Of charity, as well
as a great number Of cles,-such as bed

in idlcness and dissipation, and again sally
