"Tbe masses the bone and sinew of The Wing
party, are ready 10 come forward in one solid
column TO the supp ort of Taylor and Fillmore.
They are Impressed with feelings IN their favor
hat inspire them TO action like those which
prompted their leader in the contests at Resaca
1e la Palma and Buena Vista, certain that veto.
y VIII be won. Talk not to MS about boiling
he ticket in Central New York. The idea i
breposterous. The Wings of Onondaga County
re ready to pledge 1900 maj only for Taylor ant
Fillmore, and if more is desired the numoer vii
be increased. 10 making this statement we speal
Tllh confidence, having taken some expressions
u opinion from Wings in the several towns il
he county. There is but one impression among
hem, and that is belief that our ticket will
ucceed by greater majority than was ever OBJ
aimed by our opponents, even in The palmies
avs OF Locofoc0ism. Such are the feelings
With which The Wings accept and approve the
ecislon OF the highest tribunal of the party"
