The Desperation of the wings.

The full treasury of the Wing State Central Com

OF bribng the poor and needy sell their votes and

operating on the minds or pockets of Free Sellers
and Democrats enough to tmn the scale.
The whole history of political warfare in Massa.
chusetts, cannot furnish another such instance of
wholesale bribery, alsehood, intimidation, and utter
disregard of all the decences of life, as has been
exhibited during the past few weeks by the leaders
OF the Wing party, in their desperate attempts to
secure again, in their hands, the administration of
the State, which by their treachery all past pro-
LESSONS and principles they had disgraced
Every influence that could he brought to bear, in
order to.secure single vote has been ezerted.
Falsehoods, the most malicious and glaring, have
been invented, and circulated broadc cast over the
State; private character has been subjected to
the most wanton and unfounded attacks; working
men have been threatened with loss of situa-
tons, Immediately to follow upon their voting
against the Wings; and last but not least, sys-
TEN OF d:sgraceiul bribery, upon extensive scale
has been rcsorted to. In this city, and in Spring
field, men have been offered, and have taken W hig
gold in exchange for their votes, and the same game
is to be played over again to-day at the polls.
In Lowell, large part of the population will vote
under the direct threat Of Linus Child, and other
corporation agents, that their employment shall cease
if they dare to exercise that nestimabe prerogative
Of their manhood, the right of suffrage. Under such
mighty pressure OF corruption brow beating, false.
hoods, ard intlmdation it is not to be supposed that
the result of this days work will be all that the
friends of freedom and progress could desire. In
many towns, the will not be fair indication of
the popular will, for with all these outside app-
ances, it is impossible that fair expression of the
unbiased sentiments of the people can be obtained;
yet land have the fullest confidence that the
right will triumph, and that good working ma ority
against the INSCRIPTIONS and mendacious party who
still claim to be Wings, will be obtained
Notwithstanding the desperate game that has been
played by weIlknown ex-officiaI in this county,
and his coad;utors for the purpose of getting him
self reinstated in his old berth, and securing again
the emolumenls Of responsible office, and in spite
of the secrecy of his movements and the cunning
caution of his arrangements, to defeat the choice of
coalition Representatives, in the towns in this county
whchare still to choose their Representatives we be-
lieve the people will triumph in old Worcester county,
and that the coalition ticket will be chosen in most
OF the unrepresenied towns. If writ Of habeas
corpus was to be served upon every voter in the
county, or Judgment had been issued by the Court
agans' every citizen, in every town, the ex-sheri
in office could not have manifested greater de-
gree of alacry, than he has done out of Office,
for the last few weeks. Such racing and chasing
over the county, never known before, on the
part of that &C eminent personage,' and should the
Hon. Mr.. Winthrop be fortunate enough to gain the
Gubernatoral char, there can be no question that
the late sheriff has won title to the sc black cock.
AIDE" again, by hard work for the party, to say the
least. The tight place in which the Wing party
has been put, by the result of the late election,
has revealed to the minds of the people, an extent
and depth Of iniquty, which the of the never
supposed had existence there. The threat Of tho
! dial approvers among the Wings of Worcester and
more than prominent among them was
heard, on Saturday, openly TO declare that such a
course of dctaon, as to how man shonli vote,
was LEGITIMATE EXERCISE OF POWER on
THE PART OF AN EMPLOYER TOWARDS HIS
woRKMEN, AND PERFECTLY RIGHT AND
PROPER.
Fellow Citizens of Worcester, who love liberty
and detest oppression in all its forms, duty de.
wolves upon you to-day, which ~e know you will
faithfully discharge. That duty demands that we
shall robuke the sane. party, the party of dictution
and oppression, again, at the polls, by an overwheln
ing vote against their who are the representa-.
tlves of their ideas and measures. That party have
completed their arrangements for dscarding on the
morrow, at Boston, the last vestge of every pync-
pie and doctrine they protested 10 hold dear,
by nomination of Daniel Webster, to the Presi-
Dental chair, which will seal their doom in this
Stale forever. Let us have one more contest, and
one more victory, before they make the final leap
into that deepest gulf Of political perdition, and
show to the people of the whole State and the whole
Nation that the heart of the Commonwealth Of Mas
sachusetts is. sound, that the ''prejudces" of her
people, in favor of the institutions of Freedom are
not yet " conquered" and that whatever detection
there may be elsewhere, among the friends Of con-
sttutona liberty, Worcester still maintains her hon.
