Twenty Days to Election.


There never was happier party in anticipation
of victory than the whigs-ncver one that count
cd more unmatched chickens or took greater satsfac
ton therein, In holding overgrown, gaseous mass
meetings it is not apt to be slow, in getting up
Haunting banners, to- Discontinued professions, and
irritating devices in general But when yon come
to the quiet, steady, unostentatous telling work
that carries an election there never was u less elf
cent party. Not one in hundred of its members,
except when intensely excited in some great emer-
gency considers himself under obligation to do any
thing Of the kind. One-half the voters whose intel
ligence and convictions incline them to the Wing
side consider II rather an extra demonstration of pat
| riotism to walk mile to the poll and vote und in
cline to wonder who is TO compensate them for the
sacrifice. And thus Is we in Suites like Mary
land, with two thousand Wing majority of legal
voters, divided or disputed result, while Maine,
with her voters about equally divided in politics, is
nine times in ten Locooco all to nothing. No other
party ever poled so small proportion of its vote as
the Wing party habitualy does. "
Some of the reasons for this are honorable TO the
Wing party, though the consequence is unfortunate
In the first place, We have fewer politicians by trade
-men who make living lean or fat, by managing,
wire working and drillngfar fewer than our oppo-
nents have Men Of this class do not enjoy as much
consideration with us as with our advcrsaries Then
the Wings are, as body, more independent Of party
discipline and nsagcs than their opponents II the
nominations do not suit, the issues that they deem
most important not made prominent, they refuse
to vote, and persuasion is lost upon them: And the
more accustomed men may be to think the less likely
they are to go steadily on in prescribed path ODE
dent to such calls as Support the regular nomna.
tonsr &c. 1t is not, therefore, matter Of surprise,
hardly of regret that the Wing vote is rarely called
ont so thoroughly us that of our antagonists
But, after making every fair allowance It is noto-
riously true that large proportion of the Wings are
cupnby remss in the discharge of their political du-
ties They do not realize that every member of
party is bound III good faith to his compatriots to do
his fair share toward securing and maintaining the
ascendancy of that party. They do not realize tina,
victories are usually won not by attendance on great
meetings or hurrahing in professions, but by each
man who is in earnest persuading one who is luke
warm, or has been adverse 10 go and vote the right
ticket. In this way, an election may at any time be
carried by party having such cause and such I'D
vocates Of it as the Wings.
