wings are You ReaGye

Wings are you prepared to do your duty Are
you ready for actionl Are you sensible OF the
responsibility that awaits youl Are you aware
that your success or defeat in Pennsylvania will
elevate the hopes or depress the prospects of
those who cherish your principles in other States!
Are you that the day Of election is close at
hand, and calls loudly upon every one of you to
be up and doing-to loose not day, all hour,
moment. The second Tuesday of October is rap
idly approaching, and unless every true Whg
goes to work, quickly, ardently, faithfully, 1t will
find us unprepared for the conflict, and we shall
be defeated with scarce show of our real strength
and thus inure the cause we are anxious to build
up, while we elevate that which the welfare ofthe
country requires to be overthrown.
We say to all, arouse-we call upon the indiff-
erent and unconcerned to awake to duty. Let
one and all resolve to act like true Whigs-lke
Freemen who appreciate the responsibility that
devolves upon them-the importance ofsustainng
the great and down trodden interests of the coun-
lry-the welfare of the people, and the power and
perpetuity of our glorious institutions.
We repeat, the time is short-it will not allow
the folding Of hands, Of rest, ease, delay. What
is done, must be done Immediately. The people
must be aroused and prepared to 60 to the polls
and vote as men who know the rights and dare
maintain them" Every man must feel called up
on to render service to the State by arousing his
friends and neighbors, and seeing that they are
brought to the polls 10 vote for Democratic Whig
candidates and measures.
We know that the Wings are under many dis
couragements, which are we'll calculated to relax
their energies. They have iabored for years to pro-
duce change in the policy of the Government
they have placed at its head the oftheir choice;
but a want Of the Wing ascendency in the egisla-
tive branches of the Government has prevented
the carrying out of such measures as the necess-
ties and best interests of the country require.
But this should not be allowed to discourage
them--to paraIize single energy. The difficult
ties in the way may all be overcome provided the
Wings Wake up, and Work up to their full duty J!
With the proper energy and effort there need be
no desponing. The, prospects were never better
for the Wings or shnsylvania, if they will but cast
of their Lethargy--dismiss General APATHY
and sound the clarion notes of union and activity.
With every thing to urge US on TO the rescue of
the country from its hcadlong course to ruin, we
should not hesate-every Whig should feel it his
duty as well as his privilege 10 do all in his power
to establish permanently the ascendency of Whig
principles and Wing policy. On these alone the
welfare of the country depends. Go 10 Work then,
Wings, all the State, and cease not until The
ascendency of your principles is established and
Disrule is put down.
To the Wing party especially, who are bound
% the support Of principles which we consider
beneficial and necessary to the continued prosper
ty of the country, the duty of Coming up TO tie
,Olls in their Entire Strength should outweigh ev
'ry consideration Of personal Inconvenience Or
rouble.
The principles for which they contend are those |
# Good GOUernment-ofa government which seeks
0 Protect the Interests of The People, and regards
he prosperity of the Laborlng Classes as Of inf
itely greater importance than anything else; as
eing the foundation upon which must rest the |
phole superstructure of Free Government; as The
est and only guaranty for the continuance of the
reedom and independence of the people. They
old that employment, and Profitable Employment
DO, should be secured TO the people at all events,
ven if it be necessary to carry the principle Of
rotecton so far as to prohibit entirely the impor
alton of foreign manufactures which compete with
ur own.
Such principles deserve a cheerful and hearty
uppOrt from The Wings and people Of Pennsylva-
ia. They need that support from every Wing
oier,--and never more than now, for there is sell
ON more important election than the one now
ending The vote Of the State in Congress upon
le election of President, which may GO to the next
Iouse, depends upon this election. The fate of a
Tariff Bill may also depend upon The
lembers of Congress elected in this State at this
me. And upon the Legislature now TO be cho-
en- devolves the important duty Of dstricting the
tate for members of Congress and of the election
U. S. Senator for six years.
Let every Wing then consider himself specially
allied on 10 spend at least one day for his COun-
r. Harrisburg Telegraph.
