WING Ward Meetings Tonight.

Wing Ward Meetings Tonight.
Our wing friends, by reference to our adyef-
Using columns, will find that they are called
upon to rally in Ward Meetings, tonight
The Wards in the Second Municipality, only
are advertised in our columns; though we Should
(beyond all question: have been pleased to place
the announcements of our friends OF the First
and Third Municipalities in our advertising
columns; but, we presume, we have not yet
begun to recognize our consolidated identity
though, shortly, absurd and unnatural divisions
will have faded into thin air, and Sc above Canal

However, be the future as it may, we have a
word for our whig friends; and it is not more in
reference to their own interests than to those of
the future of the Consolidated City. The pre-
liminary meetings Of tonight have a large bear
ing upon results-not only the fortunes of the
wing party in the State Of Louisiana, but the
destiny and successful progress of our city.
The delegates to be selected tonight will decide
many and grave consequences. They should be
selected with great care, without any regard to

and with the clearest confidence in their intelli-
gence, Hberality and faithfnlness. As their
predictions may run, SO will the nominations
be; and as are those nominations, so is the fate
Of the wing party in the city Of New Orleans
and the State of Louisiana. The immense APP
pointing power Of the Mayor--one of the ugly
and autocratic pets Of the authors Of the first
bill of Consolidation be made tremend-
Gus engineaof power in the hands of the success
full candidate for Mayor. It gives whoever is
elected to this Office control of the city of New
Orleans, the Presidential election in the State
and the selection Of the next Sheriff, unless ne
should be rarely tempered in the dignifed i'm
partialities Of high office.
Hence, be the wings or the democrats success
full in the approaching municipal contest, we
hope every good and true man of the former
will turn out tonight. None should leave the
fates of principle and party to chance; or, COM
plain uselessy hereafter of the action of primary
meetings, in which they were too indolent OF
careless to take part. Primary meetings are
essential to organization and concentration, and
no one should complain of the color or direction
Of obese, when he lifted no hand, moved no foot
and spoke no syllable, to order other results.
Let the wings now, and our democratic friends
hereafter, recollect that they will have thou
sand curious and conflicting cries echoing around
them. There will be, from the foolishly jealous
and suspicious, sectional appeals. There will
be the clamor of personal friends and expectants
There will be the insiduous whisperings or the
treacherous howl of professed independents and
sn,1 ,te ~
man is inexperienced and this man unpopular;
that this man has been guilty of the unpardon-
BILE crime of holding office and of earnestly adj
vancing his well-ascertained principles; and
fhisman has done thousand things which are
family and privately syllabled upon, and die
away in, air.
Through tile multitude of voices, let our wing
friends walk, in calm and undisturbed serenity
and intelligence, to the discharge of their duty,
and the advancement of the principles they hon
estly cherish. None but a fool or a coward
trembles at the OWLS hoot, the frogs croak
Or the cricket's chirp in the shadows which pre-
cede the uncertain-gloom behind which advances
daylight. Let the wings choose as delegates
men of common sense, men of intelligence, men
OF experience, men they can trust, and in the !
true wisdom, in which parties (the great neces- {
sites of repubic) can alone exist Equity
demands, expediency counsels, that the nomi-
nees should be equitably distributed among the
the different portions of the city There can be
no FOOLS cutlery of alarm on this point
Then, keeping this in view, who will make the
most efficient and valuable officers-that is the
next question. 1t will require gentlemen of large
intelligence, business habits, and some expe-
rience, successfully to consolidate the now
divided business and concerns of the city. A
new man, a raw recruit man Impractical in
business details, mere politician, would be
losst in the multiplicity of business to be classed
and simpifed into unity.
4M our wing friends have any wish to succeed,
43asy will present their best men None others
san Drought to succeed. That our wing friends
may know where to meet, we subjoin the
