What are the Wings ContcndinS Foa


The Wings are contending for american
industry and the Development Of the resour-
ces of our own country They wish to es-
tablish policy which shall lead US to make
those fabrics ourselves which we now obtain
from abroad which shall uphold the indus
trial pursuits of our own citizens, and not aim
at supporting those of other countries, and
which shall enable our manufacturers and all
persons dependent upon them to compete
with foreign labor The Wigs 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 ofbe
ing worked, because American labor will thus
he paid, and American capital rewarded L.
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 moro reasonable and more
patriotic 20 develop the resources of our own
land than to assist in accomplishing the pros
perity OF others. Franklin Pierce and his
party think differently. and call upon the com
munity TO uphold policy that is building w
English interests, that is rewarding foreign
labor. that is developing the resources of 9TH
er lands
| For Internal improvement. They feel
that the Improvement Of the navigation of our
rivers tor the purposes of internal commerce
and facilities OF intercourse is proper object
Tor the Government to undertake that the
Improvement of our lake harbors is important
to the growth and expansion of the Western
States, aud that whatever cnriches one part
enriches tho whole; and that railway com
munieations 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
prosperity Of every section They contend
for all these objects; while Franklin Pierce
aud bis party are opposed to them.
For the Iteration Of the people, socially,
intellectually, and religiously. The Wings
are in favor of those measures that will pre-
serve the nation at peace; that will keep it
from encroachng upon its weak neighbors
that will keep down the immoral 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 produc-
ton OF the greatest amount Of happiness and
good from the territories we now possess
aud that will make us an upright and educa-
ted people, The tendency Of the measures Of
our opponents is the'otbor way.
For the perpetudtion of the Union and
me Constitution. To accomplish this most
desirable object, the Wings are opposed to all
sectional differences or ag;tations They ap-
Preciate the blessings Of the Union, and real
lze the value Of the Constitution, and will do
their utmost endeavors to preserve and per-
petuate both.
ftnaAiy, the Wigs are coniending for a
man leho has been fighting for the couptry
TOR forty years. They wish to elevate to the
supreme power man who has done more for
the nation than any other living man. lie
deserves it from their hands lie deserves
the rewards which bis grateful countrymen
are about bestowing upon him Thore will
be 10 hesitation 10 giving him these rewards
