The TRuMPET-CALL We do not know how
more appropriately than by this caption TO in
troduce 10 our readers the following well timed
and stirring appeal 10 the Wings of the United
States, by the editors of the New York Elk
press, themselves among the most active in the
front rank of our political friends.-Nat. Int
The Wings Of The United States are now so
well aroused and we may add nOU so well IL
nited, that it seems hardly necessary 10 roll the
drum any longer; bat action and concord,
though indispensa bly, necessary for success, are
yet not half enough of what is wanted Ac-
lion must be turned TO useful account. There
must be energy, enthusiasm, watchfulDess.
and, above all, organization. Is the Wing par
ty every where organized? That is the ques-
ton. No, is the answer, we venture TO say,
in most quarters; but mo" must be the ans
wer no longer; for where there is no organZa-
ton there is no certainty OF success. Regu-
lars are as important in politics as In war; and
discipline is as necessary for success al the bal
lot box as in the field. Orations, addresses.
resolutions, speeches, &C., are all important;
but not much more important than the band
of music in an army. The bugle inspires, the
fife arouses, the drum wakes up, the band then
makes even towards brave, but it is the silent
host moving shoulder TO shoulder step by step,
that does the work Orations, &c, are thus
all well enough, nay, very necessary, but the
true captain, in coming great day, must know
his men, and where 10 find them. Organlza-
ton and discipline ensure him success, no mat
ter what the host arrayed against him. He
counts three who adds two votes 10 his own.
We apprehend that the business classes OF
society are not yet sufficiently awake to the
1 Il
ests. We fear they do not yet sufficiently por-
tray the dangers involved in the election OF
Cass and conquest. One war, Improbable
enough, we have had under he demagogue
Polk How many we may have under the spi-
rit which would elect Ciss, who can foresee or
foretel? We think that merchants, traders,
and farmers are not vet wide awake enough to
the importance of opening the way OF our
great Western lakes and rivers for all the out
let's and inlets of commerce. They do not re-
member always that Polk has stopped all In
terna improvements by the Federal Govern
ment in the face of all the preceGents of prece-
ding Presidents, and that Cass is pledged to
follow in his footsteps. They may just now,
here n New York, under a severe pressure in
the money market, ponder enough upon the
mischiefs, corruptions and perils of the Sub
treasury act, but do they think enough Of the
dangers of excessive importations? Do they
see how the manuiact urng interests are de-
pressed? Are they aware of the consequences
of buying from Europe more than Europe i'll!
take from us? These are all great questions
for business men TO settle; and in less than a
month the policy of the Government is TO be
fixed for four years, and it may be for twenty.
Energy, organization, and reflection be then
the vatchword of Wigs hence till the election
In 10 I'm ~
WORK MUST BE RAPID.
