A WORD OF ADVICE TO THE WINGS.

WOhD OF ADNICE III The WINGS.
The returns from the West and South, of the
elections which took place there last week, are be-
ginning to come in. Thus far, they look as well
as we anticipated and yet we do not believe that
we nave more than held our own, if we have done
that We shall know in day or two. The Wings
mel'' INTO inns contest under many disadvantages.
Inc late defeat in the Presidential contest dis
heartcned many the action of the Liberty par
"" In Indiana, has caused the election of a "dem-
ocratlc. member OF Congress or two and has with
out doubt, lost us the Legislature, and with Il u
s. Senator In the Louisville and Lexington dis.
tricts in Kentucky, both strongly Wing. the party
styling itself Native American. ran men for Con.
gress, and we presume has drawn off a hundred or
two votes from the Wings, and if either Thomas.
son or Carrot Davis is defeated, and Loco Focos
elected, this new move has contributed it's share of
the work. Thus we see that Liberty men in Indi-
ana, elect in effect Texas and pro-slavery men to
Congress; and the Native party do the same in
Kentucky. When Will men understand that in
Union is strength? All that the radical, anti-Tar-
if, pro.savcry and Texas party desire, is to keep
up these divisions. So long as they exist they are
sure of victory. We have no doubt, it admits Of
no doubt that if the true conservative portion Of
the people, the friends of protective Tariff of lib
erty secured by law, the enemies of annexation,
and Of frauds at elections and the ballot box would
but concentrate their efforts unite as one man a.
gainst the common enemy, they would rout him at
every election, and hold the government In their
own hands; but so long as every faction must have
its own candidates in the field, and keep up con-
tinual cross fire, so long will we suffer defeat.
Ehere is no party in the country that can compare
with the Wing party, either regards men or
measures. They are anti slavery, far as the
constitution and laws of the country will admit of
it, they are opposed to all fraudulent voting, and
in favor of bringing the greatest amount of inte-
gence and virtue to bear upon the ballot box, with
out any Of the narrow-minded intolerant big
oirt and iafi<, 49,
of their birth place their religion which charac-
erizes the action Of the new faction, which claim
for themselves all the native blood in the country.
u Is surprising to US that the Wing party has
been bic to do SO well, to hold their own, and. in
some OF the States even to gain, under the adverse
circumstances in which they have been placed. It
shows that it has life giving energy in its men
and lis principles, which, in the end, will and must
be triumphant The overwhelming maorties
which the Loco Focos will have in the next Con-
gress will cause them to carry measures with
high hand. The Tariff will be attacked and it's
protective features annihilated; the Sub-treasury
with the "spece clause, will be revived; the Tex
as outrage will be consummated, at the expense of
broken Constitution the plumber of California
will be planned; the work of prescription will go
on, which will, with the Sub-Treasury, SOW the
seeds for large crop Of public plunderers and de-
faulters; and BY the time that new election for
President will arrive, the people will be ripe for
change, and will call upon the Wings to restore
the country to its wonted prosperity as they did in
JS4O. All the Wings have now TO do is TO reno in
firm keep their ranks serred, and shut their ears to
every cry or dlvison-and all will end well. The
Wings of Massachusetts, in particular, should be
true to their standard they have noble Common
wealth, whose good name is in their keeping and
they will, in times past be true to their trust
In u few weeks a Convention of Wing Delegates
from all parts Of the State, will assemble in Fa-
neuil Hall, the cradle of American liberty, which
will awaken anew the true Wing fire, and when
the day of election comes Massachusetts will loom
up, she did last fall in the midst of defeat abroad,
true to herself true to her history, and true to the
principles of civil liberty, in the days of the
Northumberland Courier.
