IhE VIII ChNNhSc.
As friends Of the great Wing Party and Mr. James Lyons,
beg ANAL space in your valuable paper, that We may
advert briefly the claims Of that gentleman and othes
to the support Of their in the approaching
election and in doing so intend to address ourselves
to the Wing Party OF Richmond.
We therefore call upon you, fellow Wings, as Wage,
TO revive energies for the contest and resolve IN the
short space which will intervene, brave every conflict
with breast Of steel. On Thursday you de-
eide whether the talented and indcfaugsble gentleman
whom you hare selected sdorn and illustrate the Coun
ellis OF the Nation, by the proundy Ut his head aud the
purity, shfuncss aud fidelity Of his heart shall again
ceive your confidence aud suppost-wheher Mr.. Bots
Mr.. Bette who than any other has been SIAN
dercd, rsduced, and vpended pcrsoRaly and politically,
by every fne fellow in the circle Of his district tor his
political opinions advocating them at all mes and in every
emergency, his denv, with the
sictcst fidelity for the welfare and happiness OF his eoun
try, and the sscendancy Of his political nends-Mr Bottle
the hrm, incorporating Whg the patriot scholar and
gentleman whether shall again be entrusted with the
protection OF csrdns principles in the Congress OF the
United States Whatever may be our personal predilec-
tons, let them in casse-let usfs
y to the aid VI Congressional candidate No Whis
ought withhold his vote where that vote is wanted TO
abish his eternal principles in the administration OF the
Government And you have also decide whether your
personal and political friend. Mr. Lyons, shall represent
in the General Assembly OF Virginia. oheI-a
sterling Wing, aud gentleman, without the advantages OF
experience equal prominence in his paw-who has
been fosted upon your attention by caucus" ,or unfair
machinery whether he shall be permitted succeed
Mr. Lyons whose past services and present claims 10 the
confidence support Of his fellow citizens whom
ced he has had the honorto represent should meet
with general acknowledgment and approval.
You doubtless recolect the manifest reluctance with
which Mr.. Lyons yielded his to the many press
ing calls made upon him to announce himself candidate
for a the General Assembly and have not
failed perceive, how the face OF those popular tes
monas regard he has been osfraesd and his motives
mpugned because he honestly differs with msjority OF
his party upon only involved in the pending
csnvass-whch said IL be conducted, (not by dis
creton upon the absurd and fruess issues OF Lyons
i1th, Brooke trfhoHf Texas-as il the election Of
either gentleman could have thing do with the ques-
ton OF Texas Annexation, when that question, say the
friends Of Mr. Lyons, has boon finally settled by Joint Re-
Standardization, repeat, the friends OF
constitutional construction free admit But the
is conducted upon such issues: Mr.. Lyons has
trends rs well as Mr. Brooke and when those OF the lat
te-as indeed vf any who happens be variance
with Mr.. Lyons, any other member OF the Wing Party
who shall be called upon by what he believes TO be
Joy OF his party trust their hands in which
he render good servcc-sha dictate that majority,
and seek to lay down ITS rule Of action, it high time the
friends OF that gentleman should ncrpcse and that
spirit Of trucking subserrienev, which, in the Gibraltar
OF whggery" is nduged il INDUCED ALL without the
least necessity, and at the OF manly bearing and
boasted Independence.
We do desire be understood being the advocates
Of unesuaned freedom from the acquisitions OF the great
Wing Party; in favour Of surrender of those sautary
national measure--a Bank OF the United States properly
guarded, which shall give sound currency and equal
ity in exchanges Tariff for revenue with incidental pro-
lection adjusted lean favouraby towards the Anne
the foreign manufacturer and equitable
distribution Of the proceeds of the sales OF the Public
Lands that each State shall receive her fair proportion OF
that domain. which given in trust TO subserve, it
has subserved the necessary and we and patriotic pur
OF beloved Union for these the bull
wark Of deence-they the ordnance of every pa
uiot Wing and they will cmblazon his standard while
Freedom has vo,ary. These the sentiments Of the
candidates before you for your susges and better Wings
believe, never egsated for government But OF
the candidates for the General Assembly, however wrong
practice where is ha<ardousy entered iuto most
and we will choose for oaselvesno because the one is
better ADLER Wing than the other; but be-
have desire, and indeed prefer, Mr..
Lyons in the service OF the State. Called upon by por
ton OF his Wing friends declare himself candidate

thereby encounter did deter him from seizng this op
portuny OF indicating himself through the baotboI from
