What are the Wings Contendtna For


The Wings are contending for American indus
try and the development Of he resources Of our own
country. They wish to establish policy which
shall lead us to make those fabrics ourselves
which We now obtain from abroad; which shall
uphold the industrial pursuits of our own citi-
zens and not aim at supporting those Of other
countries, and which shall enable manufactures
and all persons dependent upon them to com
pete with foreign labor. The Wings contend for
these objects; while Franklin Pierce and his
party are opposing them. They believe that the
immense deposits Of coal, iron, lead, and copper
in the United States are worthy Of being worked,
because American labor will thus be paid and
American capital rewarded. They feel that this
is Of more Importance to the coal digger and the
iron worker, than the policy that would obtain
all these articles from England, and thus neglect
our own resources 1t appears to them more
reasonable and more patriotic to -develope the
resources Of our own land than to assist in ac-
complishing the prosperity Of others Franklin
Pierce and his party thinks differently, and call
upon the community to uphold policy that is
building up English interests, that is rewardng
foreign labor that is developing the resources Of
other lands.
For Internal Improvement They feel that the
Improvement of the navigation of our rivers, for
purposes Of internal commerce and facilities of
intercourse, is proper object for the government
to undertake; that the improvement of our lake
harbors is important to the growth and expansion
of the Western States, and that whatever en-
riches one part enriches the whole; and that
railway communications opened by government
means will facilitate the settlement of the waste
lands Of the country, connect the different parts
of the nation together and increase the pros
perity Of every section. They contend for all
these objects, while Franklin Pierce and his party
are opposed to them.
tia1ly, and religiously The Wings are in favor
at peace; that will keep it from encroaching upon
its weak neighbors that will keep down the i'm
moral effects of the spread of the lust of conquest
that will turn the attention of the community
from the increase of dominions abroad, to the
production Of the greatest amount of happiness
and good from the territories we now possess +;
and that will make US an upright and educated
people The tendency of the measures Of our
opponents is the other way.
For the perpetudtion cfths Union and the COnai-
tuition. To accomplish this most desirable object
the Wings are opposed to all sectional differences
or agtations. They appreciate the blessings Of
the Union and realize the value of the Consttu-
ton, and will use their utmost endeayors to pre-
serve and perpetuate both.
Finally, the Wigs are conteading for man acho
has been fighting for the country for forty gears
They wish to elevate to the supreme power man
who has done more for the nation than any other
living man. He deserves the rewards which his
grateful countrymen are about bestowing on him.
There will be no hesitation in giving him these
rewards. @ra
