10 the WHY'S OF. SaMduSAy CVautys
Again, in the course Of events, the wheels
of Time have rolled round another year; and.
we deem it again necessary to sound the toe
sin of alarrntothe Wings of this county. The
October elections are at hand, and if we ex-
pect to see Wing principles ultimately triumph,
we should be up and actiagi and that right
speedily. There is too much listlessness on
the part of many Wings; some thinking, per
haps, that it is useless to combat any longer,
where defeat is morally certain; and others,
perhaps, preferring rather tospend their time
at work upon their farms, than attending po-
litical meetings.
To both of these classes let US say, that al
though we may be beaten in the contest, it is
not defeat which should bring disgrace upon
US as a Party; it is defeat of men merely,
not principles. The principles of the Wing
party can never be overcome. This every
true Wing must feel; and while his foes are
quarreling about the division of the expectant
spoils, he has only to consider that his vote
counts ONE, and will surely in the end tell for
the truth and the right.
Ouropponents are always at work-they are
organizing their forces. and every stubborn and
refractory member will be whipped into the
ranks before the October election. Our party
lines are not so strongly drawn; and we are
willing that men should think, and act, and
above all things act for themselves For this
reason, Wing Mass County Convention, has
been appointed, and the Wings of the county
are earnestly requested to meet in council and
counsel with each other on the various sub
jects which are agitating the public mind
Let not only the Delegates from the various
townships come out, but every Wing in the
county should drop his work; let the plow
stand in the furrow-let the hammer rest or
the anvil-the saw upon the bench, and fol
one day come up to the Mass Meeting al
Fremont, on Saturday the 7th day of Septem,
Der next
Remember that NOW, above all others i.
the time for ACTION. Let the people re-
member that the Democratic party are strv
ing to annihilate all the banks IN the state, and
will next winter make the attempt to engraf
upon the New Constitution, clause forever
destroying banks and banking privileges in any
form. The evils consequent thereon, are self
evident to every thinking mind; and we vii
not insult the good sense of the people of San
dusky county, at this time by rehearsing them
The men who last winter showed them
SELVES lost to all sense of law and order il
your legislature. are again making the nigh
itiest efforts to maintain their ascendency; anc
they will spare no means to accomplish thi
end. They are at work night and day, anC
whatever may be discordant among them, ex
pericnce has shown, will be silenced, and th,
voice of the dissatisfied will be hushed at th,
proper time.
Wings of Sandusky county, there has beel
no time, since our own Buckeye state had
separate existence, that her interests have beel
SO nearly shipwrecked as now. Deadly hos
Utility, has been sworn against all chartered cor
porations, and without them what must be
come of us as people? TO what does ou
nation as a whole owe her greatness? Com
bination! united efforts of individuals, to-
weak to accomplish any think alone, hav
made the United States and Great Britain
the home of Freedom, the abode of the Art
and Sciences Be not deceived then by tn
cry of Down with the mOnopolies," which tn
enemies of freedom are raising in your ear.
They fully understand the falsity of their pc
sition, and wish only to blind the eyes of tn
people and excite the prejudices Of the poo
for the sake of the spoils of office.
Come up then, one and all to the Mass Con
vention. Each one rouse up his neighbor t
action, and make one more effort in the caus
r of freedom and equal rights Work! Be az
tive and above all remember, that 'Eterns
vigilence is the price of liberty"
