Wing Secret Circular.


The following circular Is worthy of the attention
of Democrats, though it was prepared exclusively for
Wings. by the managers here. 1t shows upon what
the leaders rely in their hope of producing a reaction
in favor Of the wing policy in the State, and to cause
it to appear that the people are in favor Of Tsylor's
administration. These, however, though made pro-
minent objects, are really secondary to that of OBJ
tanning the State patronage. Let the wings retain
all the prominent departments here, and ms these gem
tlemen say. they will, perhaps, s. be able 10 maintain
their aSceadqncy in He State hsreqier." There may
be come truth in this. and The Democrats ought GER
family 10 be as active in endeavoring to prevent it, as
the wings are TO accomplish it. - few votes either
way, may determine the complexion of the Legisla-
ture," truly says the circular and upon that COM
plexion really depends not only the legislative, but in
a great degree, the Executive power of the Strte.
Will not the Democrats labor zealously and actively,
during the few days yet remaining before the cleo
ton, to counteract these secret effbrts of the wings.
% Over confidence often produces weakness; - let the
Democrats remember this, and go 10 pork loih a TiH!

DEAR SIR The success of the Democratic party in this
State al The last Presidential election causes that party 10
look upon success, in The approaching election, as a matter
easily obtained That fact, IL The Wings do their duty, may
be the cause Of their defrat-over confidence often produces

would be if they felt that the contest would be close.
The majority against US at the last Presidential election
was not SO great that we should be discouraged. In fact,
when the number Of votes given (l53, 462) is regarded, it is
but n small matter and can be easily overcome. A change
of a few votes, or by getting a few more voters to the polls,
IN each township, would be sufficient to do so.
The object Of Ibis Communication to you is TO say, that
our information from every part Of the State is Of an en-
couIing character, and to urge the immediate adoption Of
such measures as you may think most efficient 10 get out
every Wing in your county on the day Of election. In that
lies cur pho'e strength, and if we take advantage Of it, we
shall most certainly succeed.
Our candidates for Governor, Lieut.. Governor, and for Re-
Pesenlatives in Congress, give entire satisfaction 10 our
fIiends where they have add essed the people.
So far as we are advised, our friends have been fortunate
in making nominations for the Legislature. In a great many
Legislative Districts, the parties are So closely divided that a
few votes erhrr way may determine the complexion Of the
next Legislature. The necessity Of every possible effcIt in
such districts will be apparent. We regret TO learn, how
ever, that, in a few instances, mole than one WING candidate
is IN the field where one only Is 10 be elected. This diff
Guilty ought not TO exist, aud we hope IF iTs may be made
TO obviate IT,. There IS too much at stake now TO justify any
man IN being = candidate in opposition TO the wishes Of the
party.
We need not say to you hat the result Of the next cleo
ton is Of vast Importance TO us a 5 a party. lf successful
then, we shall be able TO maintain our a~scendancy III this
State hereafter.
The Whis administration If the General Government can
only be maintained By showing at the ballot boxes that the
people have confidence in il.
Suffer US to suggest that much may be accomplished by
immediate conference with at least Two energetic Wings in
each township in your county, and prevailing on them to so
organize their respective townships rs 10 have no Wing Il
home on election day. The lukewatm ought 10 be seen and
ercou aged, and those unable to go TO the coils ought to be
taken there in suitable conveyanees. This all can be done
by a little etfnt, and we tIust you will be disposed to en-
gage in it with all your energy.
BY oIder Of the Central C mmitlee.
