FELLOW. CITIZENS -
On the 10th day Of February last the
Wing members of the General Assembly,
met in the Capitol at the City of Jefferson,
and passed the resolutions which follow
With view TO thorough and complete
organization of the Wing party in every
county in the State, and for the purpose Of
adopting some general rule, by which cam
didaes should be brought before the PEG.
pie for the higher and more important Off
ces, the undersigned, (as will be seen by
reference to the resolutions,) have been
constituted State Central Committee, to
aid in carrying forward the objects and
promoting the great interests of the party.
In accepting the trust conferred upon
them, the Committee earnestly recommen-
ded the propriety of holding State Con.
vention, to be held at time and place here.
after to be agreed upon, for the purpose of
nominating candidates for Governor, Lieu
tenant Governor, and Presidential Electors
on the part of the State; and they propose
that the Wings of the different counties in
the State shall meet ON THE FIRST MONDAY
IN NOVEMBER NEXT, and choose delegates
to attend the Convention; or if any thing
should prevent the Wings of any county
from meeting on the day above designated,
then that they shall meet on some day du
ring the month of November. The basis
of representation in said Convention will
be timely agreed upon and announced.
The Committee also recommended the
propriety of holding District Conventions
for the purpose Of nominating candidates
for Congress and Presidential Electors, at
q time as early as practicable, and to be
agreed upon by the counties composing the
different Congressional Districts.
The Committee cannot too earnestly
press upon the Wings of Missouri the me-
cessity of carrying out the recommendation
above made. 1t is only by united action,
thorough organization, frequent counsel,
and free interchange of views and opin-
ions that any great good can be Effected
At proper time the voters of the State
will be addressed on the questions which
divide the two great political parties of the
country: for the present they ask an atten-
tive reading of the accompanying resolu-
tons, which point to the general principles
and policy of the Wing party, and which
contain facts in reference to the history of
our own State lamentably true, and which
should arrest the attention of every patri-
otto voter. Fighting as the Wings of Mis-
souri, have been for years, not for the spells
of office. or personal promotion, but for
the triumph and success of those great
principles, and that line of policy which
lie at the foundation of our prosperity and
happiness as people. and regarding both
as too sacred TO be given up or surrender
ed on account of temporary or even fire.
quent defeats, they are determined to rally
once more in behalf Of the cause and the
country; and relying firmly on the virtue
and intelligence of the people, the Commit
tee express the belief without hesitation
that by ORGANIZATION, proper effort, and
concert of action, truth and justice must
and will triumph.
