OrganizatiOn---IfsN Its Necessity and Importance
to the Whig PARTY.

We desire to impress upon the Wings
Of Pennsylvania the great importance Of
early and efficient organization in the pres
ent campaign, and with this view, invite
their attention to the following resolution
passed by the late State Convention
G. Resolved, That, with view TO sustain the
Executive by the association of men-men Of
high character, sound political opinions, and
large experience we have this day nominated
JOSHUA DUNCAN, JosEPH HENDERSON, and HEN
RYW SNYDER; surrounded BY such men, and no
longer embarrassed by adverse associations, the
Wing Governor can, without fear or difficulty,
carry into successful execution all measures ne
cessary for the public good for their election,
and with it, the election of Legislative nlajorl-
ty, so important in every respect, we invoke dc-
tirity, harmony and fidelity in the Wing ranks
from one end Of the State to the other.
This resolution inculcates the proper
spirit, and if properly responded to by the
Wings throughout the Commonwealth,
will be attended with results to gladden.
every patriotic Whig heart in the land.
Pennsylvania is ever regarded as the great
political battle ground of the nation, and
if she prove herself true to the Wing faith,
as she viii if the Wings do their duty
manfully as they did in Is46, her exam
pie viii inspire the Wings of the whole
country with renewed zeal and energy in
the good cause. Apart from this partiZan
view, however, the importance to the in
terests Of the Commonwealth, of electing
men of character, sound political opin-
ions, and large experience" e"-such men as
are presented on the Wing ticket-as as
sociates with the Executive In the admin
istration of the public affairs, cannot be
over-rated 1t is impossible for the Gov
ernor to carry into successful execution
such measures as are necessary Tor the
public good, without the hearty co-opera-
ton of the coordinate branches of the
government. Hence the election of a
Wing Legislature, and Wing Canal Com
missioner and Auditor General, are essen
tial requisites to insure the prosperity and
onward march of The Commonwealth to
that heighth of power and glory to which
she is one day destined to arrive, and to
which her great resources and importance
entities her.
She can only arrive at this point OF en-
inence, however, through the successful
operation of Wing principles and Wing
measures, and they can only be secured by
the election of Whig men to administer
her public affairs. The Wings have
proved themselves the majority party IN
the State in all contests in which the full
strength of both parties was polled. Thus
IN the contest Of lS48, both for Governor
and President, our opponents were thor
oughly united, and polled the largest vote
they ever had in the State, yet we beat
them at both elections. This gratifying
result was produced by the zeal and actlvl-
ty OF our Wing friends in getting our vote
TO the polls, and proves incontestibly, that
whenever the proper efforts are made we
can and viii be successful. Shall these
efforts for success in the pending cam
paign be made now ! We hope so, and
trust that every leading Whig in the State,
IL view of the importance of the contest,
will buckle on his armor and prepare for
the fight. We cannot begin too soon, and
cannot too earnestly engage in the work,
and therefore, in the language OF the reso-
luton of the State Convention, :" 1oe IN
voke ACTIVITY, HARMONY and Fl
DEITY in the Whig ranks, from one
egd Of the State to the other.
