and stansbury, to confess and ask forgiveness
Is Il 20, Messrs Patriot and Sentinel II tis
pray tell us Of the process Of conversion, whs
new facts or arguments, or what new light ha
beamed upon your darkened intellects, to brin;
you 10 the stool Of repentance?
Last fall you denounced and hsaped bite
maledictions upon the Free Soil" banditt, an
their sectional doctrine, and are you now sup
plisnt at their feet? Has the craving for a.
cendancy and party spoils drowned every feel
ing Of self respect, and can you stand out in tb
face Of the world, the confessed apostatss to e,
cry principle, the unbIushing falsifers Of ever
profession, for an object 80 grovelliug and
low
We are accustcsied to sec the principles Of ih
Locofoco party made nbser,ient 70 party sue
cess, but there has usually been some plausibl
excuse, some preteneo a, disguise, however ihi
and fipsy, to keep up appearances. But her
there is neither covering or disguise. tn
bunker leaders have joined the ranks of N
Free Sellers for a single object, and they boil
together by single tie-that Of political plum
der
We sincerely rejoice that these factions are nov
united, and the fraud 10 some extent successfull,
practced last fall, now fully exposed; but we
do not share In the confidence, which does no
see in their coalition great and imminent danger
to the ascendancy Of the Wing party in this
State. There is neither wisdom or policy in
shutting our eyes 10 the pcris which surround
US. 1t Is better to realize and comprehend them
in their full force, and then we may be prcpar.
ed to meet and surmount them. There never
has been period Of greater danger to the Whia
party in this State than the present one, and
there never has been a contest when 50 much
depended upon early and thorough preparations
and upon active and constant vigilance
These are facts about which We cannot de
eeive ourselves, and ought not TO deceive oui
friends.
Our greatest danger, lies not in the rca
strength and power Of our advenAries, but IL
the sophis,ry aud fAlsohOod which win be covert
" made use Of, to ni,lead, impose upon and dc
ceivc the masses Of the people. Like pirstica
vessel at ses, they have, and can display at thei
masthead flags Of every color and country, tn
better TO deludc the unsuspecting. To the abo
ltioniss, they offer the resolution agains, slave
ry. To the old Democrat, they hold up III
empty name Of democracy" The wings ar
ticklcd with the idea Of n1c party, which il
love for the have is far in advance of their owl
party, and which is shortly to bring about uni
versal emancipation.
Ridiculous and absurd as these devices ms
they will have effect with many, who believe tn
world to be as homes, as themselves. and VIII
have no, leisure or inclination to inform them
selves Of what is passing around them.
In this County, we have as noble, as indefaii
J gable and untiring band of Wings as any Coun
~ in the State can boast Of. They have 10
, many years slept upon their arms, in the con
sciousnea Of assured aud easy victory. The
must arouse now, one and all, aud conc to III
rescue. We shall want all the zeal, enthusiasm
and spirit Of the Harrison campaign, and the
We shall ensure ike glorious result.
