IN uUNI0Na THERE Is STRENGTH
As the period Of our State Elections sP.
proachss, il becomes the duty Of the Whigs
Of North Carolina TO organize for the contest.
Il has sometimes (loo often) happened, that,
with full ability TO carry every branch OF The
State Government, the Wings Of the State
have been 20 remiss in proper party organi.
zalion as 10 suffer their opponents TO gain the
victory over them, sometimes IN one branch
Of the Legislature, if not both and no lon.
ger than last session, the singular state Of
things was presented Of equal parties in the
Senate and House, while the Wing majority
IN the State is from four to eight thousand
votes. II is time, high time. that any biek.
erirgs and animosiiies which have heretofore
prevailed in Wing Counties, should be sacri.
feed to the success Of the Wing Party. And
If the Wings can only be 60, together, re.
pressing private ambition and sectional jra-
lousies; discardIng local issues which have
distracted. and adopting those good princl
Piles which can unite the Wing Party all over
the Safe in one common struggle and one
common triumph; there never will be the
slightest doubt of Wing ascendeucy here.
/ We say these things now, because VIC are
panied to hear Of the revival Of old dissen.
sions in one or two Couniies where the Wings
have heretofore suffered severely from like
divisions. Ii, for instance, we could have any
/ influence with our friends in Pit, we would
like 10 persuade them in spirit Of kindness,
I TO make the endeavor TO compose Whatever
cao.ss may endanger their harmony, by a
manly and honorable union upon their strong
est men, aud make them the nominees Of the
party. If Convention can be held, the
Wings should 60 into it, prepared to sacrifice
/ favori,e predeclion. for the sake of unanim-
ity and success. II is our own habit, where
yer the Wing Banner leads faithfully TO fol.
low, and strive our utmost 10 push forward TO
victory giving all our Influence and supper,
10 him in whose hands it Is placed. We con-
ceiv- this to be the proper spirit, and TO our
friends, whoever they may be, disturbed BY
airy cause, We would respectfully and earnest
/ Is commend a reasonable self denial for the
general good.
We have long been convinced, ina, If We
intend 10 carry and keep North Caroline
