BALTIMORE, July 1910 p. M
The excursion of Wings from Baltimore to join
the celebration at the anniversary Of the battle
of Lundy's Lane will be quite large. Already
over one hundred names are subscribed, and
many more will no doubt put down their names
The spirit Of enthusiasm is every day mani
Testing itself unmistakably in the Wing ranks.
Those who were at first somewhat careless are
now among the most enthusiastic in favor of
Gen. Scott and his noble companion, Mr. Graham.
The sober second thought brought them to their
senses. They in their more rejecting moments
drew q comparison between the two candidates.
In the conquerer of Mexico they saw man emf
nently distinguished-one whose history stands
outin bold relief; in all Of whose publicacts there
is positive grandeur something tangible-past
deeds indicative of capacity to accomplish work
in the future. In the other they saw no history
of later date than the Democratic Convention Of
June, 1852-no evidence of greatness in fact,
nothing but brief record Of negatives. The only
distinguishing characteristics Of this mans life
are such as warrant poor guaranty for the fu-
ture, either civil or military. Being thus situated,
it became a matter Of serious concern with the
malcontents, and they at once not only aban-
doned the idea of standing aloof, but were even
astonished at themselves for hesitating moment
about voting for Gen. Scott, when not to do 50
would be indirectly aiding so inferior an opposi-
ton. .a-r
was about to say would almost vote for
"Old Nick himself if brought out by an intelli-
gent Wing Convention, in opposition to any Dem
ocratic candidate. We not to look at the
men--measures, not men, should be the motto of
every true American. There is nothing in De-
mocracy, such as now distinguishes what il
called the Democratic party, that can claim ad
miration. Is it possible, then, that any sensibl
Whig--one who really deserves the name an
honor of Wing fellowship-can for a momen
hesitate in voting the entire ticket g hat-footed,
as they say out West
The war is against modern Democracy and it
destructive principles With SO gallant leade,
as General Scott-a man Of the nation-ane
whose patriotism has been sanctifed by his owl
blood on the field of battle, how can it be possible
for an honest Whig to withhold from him his vote
This sentiment is beginning to take hold of the
people rapidly; and my word for it, Messrs
Toombs, Stephens & Co. will find that notwith
standing their puerle, imbecile, and ridiculously
absurd pronunciamento, the bone and sinew, no
only of Georgia. but all the States, will pronounce
against them on the day of election. They viii
then realize how Insignificant is their influence
How poorly the honest yeomanry of the countr.
appreciate their fancied greatness A gooc
Wing within the precincts of their own domicil
will spurn their distortions, and esteem it
pleasure to show to their teeth that they hav
assumed an Importance to which they have n
just title.
General Scott and General Pierce--who in tn
name of Heaven can hesitate for a moment whic
to chooses General Scott positive, and Geners
Pierce negative-that is the question
