THE REsuLr ~ FArarlslD. 1.-The :,

Wings have been essentially and particu
larry beaten, and we in common with
others must bear il as best we may. We
had influences TO contend against which
were too powerful to overcome, and the
gallant Wing phalanx was borne down
in almost every township.
Some of our gallant leaders in other
fights who have struck strong and power
ful blows for Wing measures and Wing
men, left US to take care ofourselves and
labored for the Temperance ticket,
while their opponents nearly TO man
voted for the Locotoco nominees. While
this movement thus operated in some
townships, in Others the Locofoco leaders
made capital out of it aud made use Of
the opposite influence to drag us down.
This will account for the disastrous re-
suit in this township.
Locofoco leaders induced Wings to
vote against Eckley, because at one time
in his life he had voted for the repeal of
the Black Laws, and yet these same
Wings saw these same leaders vote for
Pugh who is particularly connected with.
the repeal of these laws, having agreed
under "bargain and sale" to vote for
that measure.
But the moral Of the result we leave
for another day. Though the fight is a
gainst US, we cannot as Wings, as pat
riots, yield under its disastrous influen-
ces. These men who have been induc-
ed to vote against US for reasons not con-
nected with party matters, will upon So
Der second thought again rally around
the standard. These old.wheel horses
whose efforts in her days. have glad.
dened the hearts aud strengthened the
arms of all good Wings. will see their err
ror and again join in the fight against an
archy and Locofocoism. They must fee
that they have accomplished nothing by
their new movement, and will again ar
; rsy themselves in the f)rmost ranks o.
the opponents of misrule and corruption
WHIes OF FAIRFIELDl "Pick your flint
and try it again" The next campaign
|
will bo one Of no ordinary Importance
and we should all be prepared for the con
test. Next year a President is to be elec
ted. and ifpossibe the Wing candidate
must get the vote Of Ohiu. Let US rally
around the standard; let us inform our
selves and be prepared to meet the vile
} efforts of the opposition let us strength
en- each others hands and hearts; let u
effect more perfect organization; let u
meet the enemy at every point and thu
wipe away the unfortunate events of th'
past contest. Ii can be done aud must bt
done. We must know who are th'
friends of truth and the opponents of cor
ruption and eugege them in the work
and the Wing party Of Fairfield will a
gain stand out-a firm and united phal
anx fighting for nothing but principle.
Right now we shall commence tn
work. Righ, now we shall expose tb
miserable frauds practiced upon portion
Of the voters of this county by the Loco
focn leaders and show them up in all thci
deformity. We wish it understood tha
"high station" will not excuse a man ITO
screen him from an expose ofhis charac
ter. II he disgraces himself, disgrace
his friends and insults public morals, it
the duty oflhe press to speak out and
will be done. The people ofthis cour
ty will not always shut their eyes to th
>; truth; they will not always suffer then
= selves 10 be deluded by their party lead

But as it is. II shows that portion ofih
