IMPORTANT ADVICE True and scorth |
Remem6ering.-The following most inn
portant and instructive advice, we copy
from the GAINESVILLE Courier. 1t is good
in each one of it's parts--it is good in
the whole. tits full of wisdom, and if
heeded, will elevate the Wing party to
point from which all the efforts of Loco.
focoism cannot displace it. There are
many Wings who work without any de.
sire for station, and these very ones we
have generally found most anxious to
place in power those with whom they
have, in season and out of season, in sun
shine and in storm, worked side by side
and shoulder to shoulder in the great
whig cause. 1t has cost us many pang
to see hard working, earnest, energetic.
whole. soued Wings thrust aside and 9TH
ers nominated or appointed to office. who
are stern Wings only when the party is
triumphant. Engaged as we have been
for the last six years in fighting for the
success of the cause and knowing as we
do the men that are good soldiers in the
day of battle, them we wish to see re.
wardea; but when others are found, get
ting place and power,who do not deserve
it, the bad policy has tendency to cool
the ardor ofthe most energetic and whole
souled working.men. The article below
was written upon the event of the elec-
ton by the Tennessee Legislature, of
that active and influential Wing, Ex-Gov-
ernor Jones, to the United States Senate:
"If the Wing party of the country"
says that paper, "were more generally
to follow the example set them by their
brethren of Tennessee, they would not
be long in obtaining the control of every
department Of the Government. All
that is requisite to secure such result is
to hold out properinducement to those

measures put forth in the creed of The
Wing party. The people-we mean the
mass ofthem- are honest. All they ueet
is light. Unfortunately for Themselves
aud the country, too many of them do
not AXE the trouble TO read and inform
themselves as much as they should do il

potion of them can only be reached b.
personal effort. Private conversation
or public speeches must be eresorted to

happens that those who have contribute'
most to the success Of the party, are tn
first to be thrust aside, as soon as the c
lection is over, while. some lazy, idI
