Tuesday VchInS' July @|' AS"A
VINO PRosPECTs The question is
frequently asked us-"Can the Wings of
Ohio elect their ticket this fall?" We
answer not by asking the question.
There is other work to do. instead of
questioning party strength. What folly
aud madness it would have been. in the
Mexican campaign or in the War with
Great Britain, for Gen. Scott. before en-
gazing in some Of his holly contested bat.
ties. to go around among his officers aud
soldiers and tell them that it was most
likely that The enemy would gain the vic.
tory. When the brave and gallant Col.
Miller was asked if he could storm a Ger.
tain point and take it, his reply was. "FW
tyy." And he did it against a snpcriori.

we are asked if enough men can be found

1t is this that brings defeat. The far.
mer might ask from sunrise to sunset.
whether the meadow has been cnt. the
field plnughed or the wheat Graded, and
unless no went 10 work and performed
the labor. he would accomplish nothing
The young man, in commencing life,
would be- continually ponr, if he kept
asking whether no could do this or that,
and would never accomplish anything
let him Try.
The Wings of Ohio il they put 'hoi'
shoulders To the wheel, can elect theiI
ticket. 1t ia a good licket-a popular
ticket. 1t was selected by a harmonious
Convention. and for years, no ticket haI
been presented to the people with lest
opposition nrrayed against it. II was SO
Iec;ed by Wings. and no Effort was made
in the Convention TO conciliate any fac
ton. Out Of the several names present
ed for each Office, the advantages Of per
sonal popularity, fitness and location VI
duly considered, aud the choice made
OF tho truth of this, each member Of tn,
Convention eau testify. The great les
was, whether these men wero sound up
on State politics. No man has been nom
mated for any place, where, if he is 6
lected, no will do aught else Than main
tain the cardinal principles Of our part,
faith. What more shall we ask VIVA
more can we askl With views aud opin
ions aside from party we have nollingt Il
dot satisfies us to know that it any ol
these candidates are elected, they will
ill tho Offices just as we would expect
coed and substantial Wings To Gil them,
And now what shall wo dol What
shall the Wings Of Ohio dol Doubt our
strength 1t is folly, it is madness. 1t
is permitting Locolocoism to Triumph
Shall we fold our arms aud say il is M
use to tryl Worse yet by far. What
great victory was ever won--whOt great
achievement ever accomplished, by such
q course as that Shall we lie still aud d.
nothing, in hope that other mon will per.
form double task aud do our work rnI
usl That same thing has beaten III,
Wing party a score Of limes--it has re-
peatedly thrown tho State aud Genera
Governments into the hands Of our oppc
nents, and the Interests Of the coun,r
have suffered for our sluggishness.
No, no, we want none Of these thing
There ia work for all Of us to do. Thel
10 a great battle to DO foughl-au impor
ant victory to DO won, and tho Wings
Ohio must win il. Now, before il is to
late to make exertion. wo must begin III
task. Let the drone DO thrown aside
His counsel does more harm than his vot
does good. Let every good Wing cir
himself for the battle, aud from now ii
the second Tuesday in October, use ey
cry exertion in his power to retrieve on
fallen fortunes. Don't let il DO said the
