A VILLAGE PREss.-Perhaps no one estab-
lishment is Of more advantage to community
than newspaper press. A newspaper in a
village advances the interests of all trades, pro-
fessions and calngs, by drawing to its vicinity
much business that would otherwise be di-
verted into other channels; and by giving pre-
eminence and notoriety abroad, to the business
capabilities and other advantages of such indi-
viduals. The press is, as it were, the special
counsel of the citizens of the town wherein it
is located-pleading in many cases without
fee or reward; and in some instances convey
ing light and heat to establishments which
might otherwise "drag their slow length along"
in utter obscurity.

LIBERTY.--Ariosto telsa pretty story of a
fairy, who, by some mysterious law of her ma
ture, was condemned, to appear, at certain sea-
sons, in the form Of a foul and poisonous
snake. Those Who injured her during the Pc
riod other disguise, were forever excluded from
participation in the blessings which she be-
slowed. But to those, who in spite of her
loathsome aspects, pitied and protected her, she
afterwards revealed herself in the beautiful and
celestial form which was natural to her, accom-
panied their steps, granted all their wishes,
filled their houses with wealth, made them hap
py in love, and virtuous in war. Such spirit
is Liberty. At times she takes the form of
hateful reptile. She grovels, she Kisses, she
stings But woe to those who in disgust shall
venture to crush her And happy are those
who, having dared to receive her in her degra-
ded and frightful shape, shall at length be re-
warded by her in the time Of her beauty and
her glory.

DUTY OF THE WHIGs.-The events of tIlt
last eight months must have convinced every
Wing, who had any doubts upon the subject
| of the value and necessity Of preserving and
rendering efficient our party organization
During the recent sectional agittions, and at a
period when our political opponents asserted
that the wings were defeated everywhere, they
have nevertheless achieved victory greater in
Importance than the election of President.
They have triumphed over the factions which
sought the destruction of the country They
have preserved the nation from the effects of
Democratic misrule. They have saved the Re-
public The triumph of the Wings is not
less triumph that it is the triumph Of the
country.
InAyiew of the incalculable blessings which
may be conferred upon country, even to the
preservation of its existence, by strong patri-
otic and conservative party, it is the manifest
duty of the Wings to Danish all dissentions,
whether of a sectional Or personal character,
and move forward in solid and entire columns
under that ancient Wing banner which has SO
fully proved itself to be the banner of the coun-
try. 1t is the dictate of patriotism no less of
loyalty to Wing principles to close up our ranks
and move forward with union energy and en-
thusiasm. Let the wings of every city, village
and neighborhood adopt efficient meaas to pre-
serve their organization, to disseminate Wing
principles, and to stand ready to fight battles /
and win victories for their country so long as
their country endures.
