To the Carroll Whigs .

TO the Carroll Wings.
Wings of Carroll, there is one more rally to
be made in defence Of the ever cherished prn.
ciples of the Wing Party. In the last contest you
did nobly-you fought in the open field, and COW
cred yourselves with glory. In the approaching
one the enemy is entrenched within walls Of
Executive patronage, and reinforced by the en-
lire Van Buren, line. But remember a victory
over these will be victory still more glorious.
Remember the motto Of our brave old Chief at
Buena Visla-"our wounded are behind us and
we will never pass them alive" Remember
that "in the Wing vocabulary there is no such
word as FAIL"
REMEMBER we contend for the improvements
of our Rivers Lakes and Harbors, as essential
to the interests of Western Commerce and wes-
tern producers Of every class.
REMEMBER, we contend for the right Of the
people, through their Representatives TO make
their own Laws, uninfuenced by Executive dc
lalion and uncontrolled by Executive vetoes.
REMEMBER, we contend for just and peace.
ful policy, in The management of Foreign Az
fairs.
REMEMBER, we are in favor Of Excluding Sla-
very from Territories now free, as injurious to
the interests of our country North and South
and endaDgerng the perpsluity of the Union.
REMEMBER, we oppose The Free Trade policy
of Locofocos and the principle of their Tariff
of '46, as alike detrimental 10 the Producer and
Manufacturer.
REMEMBER, we are opposed to the Sub-Treas.
ury, of Van Buren, aud Polk, tending as it does
to reduce our currency to one purely metallic
and inadequate TO the wants of the People. 1t
is system oppressive to the tax.pNyer-ond,
by placing the purse with the sword in the hands
of the Executive, dangerous to civil Liberty.
REMEMBER, we oppose the acquisition of Ter
ritory under whatever pretence, and Wars Of
Conquest under all crcumslances-PeOce being
the true policy Of our Nation.
REMEMBER, that there is no security for our
measures and principles, in supporting either
Cass or Van Buren,.
REMEMBER, that every vote cast for Van Buren,
is a vote thrown away-which should be cast to
effect some good purpose, in the government of
the Country.
REMEMBER, that every vote cast for Cass is
worse than thrown away, as it will bs cast a.
gOinsl the true policy and interest Of that Coun.
try.
We have every thing TO encourage us to strive
zealously for the election Of ZACHARY TAYLOR,
whose honesty Of purpose, integrity, and palri-
olism, are unimpeachable and above suspicion.

lights and deceptive banners, into the support Of

one more effective blow for correct principles.
"AlI the clouds which lowered on our house
Are in the deep bosom Of the Ocean buried,"-
and from the granite hills of The North to the
sunny savannas of the South, extends the bow
of promise, the emblem of Hope. Let it in

forward to victory, and when we shall have
done our duty at the bOlol.box, may that bow

Tyranny, the lust Of dominion, and policy Of
