NOT TO BE MOVED.

"There will be no more grumbiIng a.
mong the Wings of AIbany-no more hesi-
tations or doubts. The question has been
distinctly presented-will you support Fay
lor or Cass, Out of a meeting of FOUR
TEEN HUNDRED WINGS, not less

Nothing which may appear hereafter
unless it be a declaration from the General

ponent, WILL BE GREATER THAN
THAT EVER BEFORE RECEIVED
