DG We undertake to say, that large
70 call of the people, which was got up by
Federalists to distract the Democratic
Wing party and has been circulated thro'
the county, are forgeries. We deny that
DANIEL r. BURT, or any Wing like him,
has ever authorized his name to be used in
any such circular, or that he will allow
himself to be the instrument of division
amongst the Wings.
1t is one of no-party schemes, which the
Federalists IRE famous for getting up,
wherever they are in the minority. Wings
are scarce, who are willing to hang their
political hides on the fence.

Summary of News.

The Buffalo Express, says:-" The State
has been swept as if by tornado-we have
every department of the State Government,
and in the Legislature there is not likely to
be enough Locofocoism left for seed. So far
as heard from, the hunkers have not elected
a single Senator, and their members of the
Assembly are few and far between. The
Rochester Advertiser, says:-' The returns
received indicate that the Wing State ticket
is elected by from 80 to 10000 majority
They will probably also have 100 of the 1913
members, and 81 or % of the 50 Senators"
The N. Y. Tribune of Saturday evening
contains the following
"MR. WEBsTER.-We are sorry to learn
that this distinguished gentleman is laid up at
his farm in Franklin, n. H., by bilious at

Boston on Thursday evening to join him."
One of the Surgeons of the army, (who
has since been himself dangerously wound

years old named Philip Isaacs, cut his throat
yesterday in the recitation-room of the Lud-

an unruly boy, and his father, who had been
absent from the city;was about to place him
in the navy, the teacher of the school having
apprized him that the youth could not be re-
tanned there. 1t is doubtful whether he will
survive.''

Divide and Conquer.

Despairing of success in a fair, honora-
BILE contest, party against party, some OF
the Federalists of this county, with that in
stinctive cunning and artifce, which always
characterized that party, are busy in try
ing to make diversion in their own favor;
and are circulating pledges to support an
amalgamation ticket, for delegates to the
Convention. Without compromise ofprin-
cple, fearlessly and openly in full Conven-
ton, the Wings of Grant have by their
free unbiased choice, selected FIVE faithful
candidates, to support for the Convention.
There is not man of them, who would
not do credit to the party and the county,
if elected They all have faults; who has
not? They all have enemies, even in their
own party; but where is the man deserving
the name of Wing, and protesting to main
tain those great principles which Wings
deem vital to the welfare of the country,
who has not thoroughly schooled himself to
lay aside all personal likes and dislikes, to
make all sacrifices, and place his shoulder
to the cause and roll it forward with all the
zeal and ability that God has given hmi-
Here is nation bleeding at every pore--a
villainous war waged for conquest and the
extension of slavery, treasury beggared,
rivers and harbors neglected, a Union in
jeopardy, and great people misgoverned
by nest of reckless, ambitious dema-
gogues, and the whole Wing party of the
Union, calling the Wings of Wisconsin to
the rescue, to unite in restoring and saving
a bleeding country; and there is a Consti-
tuition for Wisconsin, to wrest from the
harry hands of rabid radicalism. Is this a
time then, to listen to the whispers of dis
affection' to indulge in personal prejudices?
to throw off portion of the Wing ticket!
to quarrel with Wing candidates and give
your political foes partial victory? He
who thus opens door to the admission of
a single Locofoco Delegate from this coun-
y, does all that is in his power to over
throw the party, and is anything but a
Wing. A true Wing never despises the
usages of the party, nor attempts to break
down party nomination. He is ready to
compromise everything for the triumph of
his principles. The organization of the
Wing party in Grant county, is not one
year old. The Wings have done nobly.-
If they continue to keep aloft here, the
glorious standard of our party, and make
this the citadel and fortress of Wing
strength in Western Wisconsin,, there is
hope that the reign of radicalism will never
curse our State; but suffer defeat, or a
partial defeat now, allow the loss of soli-
tary Wing vote from Grant in the Conven-
ton, where the Wings can, if they will,
hold the balance Of power between the two
factions of Federalism, and political mis-
rule and the corruptions of Federalism,
and the blackness of Locofoco legislation,
may be the portion of Wisconsin hence
forth,
Let every Wing remember that this is
the trying hour. Let not solitary Wing
who loves his country, fail TO be at the polls
TO vote the ticket. the whole ticket, and
nothing but the ticket.

Great Emigration.

The emigration to this country, in the
course Of this year, will be enormous;
possibly not less than 100000. The
following paragraphs will show how
tho tide runs in Ireland and Germany:
"DUDLlN, April 3, 1947.
Immigration from all parts of the
country proceeds at a rapid rate. The
quays of Dublin resemble the hating
place of an eastern caravan. Crowds
of emigrants, with their separate allot-
ments of luggage. stud every available
spot. The greater numbers r con
veyed 10 Liverpool, but many ship d.
rect from this port. Two vessels sailed
last week with a full complement, and
two more, in which nearly 1900 pas
sengers are booked, will sail on Tuesday
next. A Dublin agent has gone to
Liverpool to charter vessels for the
conveyance of 1900 families, emigrat-
ing from one Irish estate, the expenses
partly to be borne by the landlord and
partly by the tenant. A ship is filled
in a Gay or two after being put on the
berth, and the agents say that a hundred
vessels would not meet the demand"
Observation-Disclosures of 5000
German emigrants have, within the last
fortnight, passed through Cologne on
their way TO Bremen, Havre and Ant
werp, where they will take their de-
parture for America. The greater part
of them seemed TO be rather well off.
The town Of Menden was lately SO full
Of emigrants that it resembled the camp
of a wandering tribe; the streets were
literally crammed with baggage, and
people, waiting for the steamers. 1t is
calculated that 10000 Germans will
emigrate this year. The desire 10 emf

Latest Army News.


The latest intelligence we have re-
ceived is that Col. !.Doniphan has been
defeated by the Mexicans, at a pass
between Chiahuahua and Saltillo. This
report however, is founded upon Mexi-
a authority. Col. Doniphan, it is
said, had started with his command from
Chiahuahua via San Jose del Parral,
and was compelled to return by way OF
Chlahuahua, and the probability is that
this gave rise to his supposed defeat.

Taylor designs an immediate advance

anti-American sentiments as the follow

Again, that paper has the following
most atrocious and Infamous sentiments:
