to these names the old Wing Platform of Principles,
we have nailed them to the mast. Having arrived
at this determination conscentiousy, and resolved TO
strike for that which can alone secure happ-
ness, peace, and security to the country, we WILL

the Great National Statesman, go forward in this
fight, unsheathing the sword, and throwing the scab

movement, the part of the people, will be responded
TO and bring into line, beside Empire
State, those gallant States which proclaimed for the
right in 1910 and 1874.
The base may triumph, but we do not think they
can. They will not, If those who love the Demo-
cratic Wing party Cor It's past deeds in behalf Of Hu-
man Liberty, Mans Rights, and the Universal cause
OF FreedUm will manfuly do battle with all the
foes Of principle and right. We call on our brethren
everywhere rally. We call those of all parties
who cannot support the "erpedieHcy" candidates now
in the field, with us, and victory is insured
Whether victory defeat ensue, cunsoled
even in disaster by the remembrance TINT in behalf Of
duty, honor, religion, virtue and the struggling mass
es. we fought this fight A thousand things are any
one of them Of more value than success, if success
be allied TO personal, party or national dshonor.
Struck by domestic foes, vlctimized by demagogues
and selfish politicians the country has right TO claim
the united action of her true SONS, and 10 those we
Thousands hang upon your action. Your con6r-
nation tonight Of this movement will speed with
electric humiliation Of space to the anxious councils
of those who meet throughout the length and breadth
oil our land TO consider what they too shall
take. Your determination will be theirs. Each true
man is now host. Let each remember that his pen
tomorrow should bear true tdings of this Revolution
10 his distant friends
God speed you fellow-citizens, in the performance
of this great and righteous duty. We commend to
your care and keeping the Wing and our
candidates CLAY and FILLMORE.
