"Compromise measures" his friends are
still laborng to prove him orthodox. If he
was not opposed to them, the record does
not show that he lifted up his voice in their
favor, and hence he stands before the coun-
try in the position of Col. Benton, who,
though the representative of State that
was admitted into the Union upon the COM
promise effected by Mr.. Clay has ever been
the avowed enemy of all compromises,
and the bitter opponent of the late measures
which restored peace to the country.
And the Locofoco party-what has it
done for the people of the West? 1t has
done, though in lesser degree, what Gen.
Pierce has done. 1t has done more in other
respects. 1t has departed from the spirit of
the Constitution, by engralting Foreign In
ferrent,on upon the principles of Washington,
and would have us forsake the peaceful policy
under which we have prospered, to plunge
madly into the convulsious of Europe, and
run the fatal race ofambition which consign-
ed the old republics 10 speedy dissolution.
And what has thirty years experiment of
Locofocoism done in Missouri? Like Gen.
Pierce, it has done nothing for us-cvcry-
thing against us.
sented our views Of the two candidates be-
fore the people. We need not say TO you,
"ChooSe We between then," but Of our op-
ponents we would ask candid considera-
ton of the respective merits of Winfield
Scott and Franklin Pierce, and we would be
well content to abide the calm decision of
unbiased Judgment.
Wings, we call upon you 10 arouse and
commence the great work before you. We
may not, perhaps, hope to revolu'onize the
State at the coming election, but we can send
cheering note to our brethren in other
States. and if not now, the day will come and
that not long hence, when Missouri shall
shake off the incubus of Locofocoism that
checks her progress. Young wings we call
upon you with especial earnestnesss. We
desire you, if it meet your concurrence, 10
form in every town and village of Missouri
similar associations to our own. Organize,
procure the means for the dissemination of
Wing doctrines; present the claims of the
Wing party TO the people of your respective
districts; consult upon the most efficient
modes of conducting the campaign. The
election is at hand; lose not moment but
organize; gather the young Wings together;
gather all who love the cause, and are ready
to battle for the truth; let us act in concert,
sin union there is strength"
These are the objects of our associations;
let us steadily pursue them, and time will
crown our efforts with success.
The long reign of Locofocoism in our
State, hath borne its natural fruit-cor-
ruption and disatfection. Good men among
them are weary of the sitting influence Of
Locolocoism, that under the specious name
Of Democracy lures the unthinking to its
banner, and tempts with fair promises, that
are ''beautiful tothe eye as apples of Sodom,
but turn to ashes on the lip" For proof OF
this, let the condition of Missouri answer.
The riches which nature has showered upon
our State, vainly invoke enterprise and capi-
tai to develop thcm-mountains of iron
slumber, where springing beneath the influ-
ence of whig principles, the sound of the
forge and the rattle OF the rail car would
awaken the echoes of now unpeopled soli-
tudes. Our commerce and internal trade,
the fruits of our soil, and of the valley of the
Mississippi, the merchandise Of the East,
and the natural products of the north, lie
congregated at the head waters of naviga-
tion and call for the means of trans portation.
The impetuous Mississippi calls for ap-
preparations to remove the distractions to
his mighty channel, but Locofoco policy
replies There is no power in the Consti-
tuition to aid the people of the West; the
| functions of Government do not apply to
such trihing subjects"
The work of reformation belongs to the
Wings. Let Missouri remember him to
whom she owes her existence as a State
Let her remember Henry Clay who stood as
her godfather when she was baptised into
the Union. Let her remember that SANDER
ed patriot and do justice TO his memory by
the vndication of his principles.
Wings of Missouri come up now and
do battle beneath the banner of General
Scott. Come up as came your fathers, and
rallied round the Flag Of the Union, when
the clarion voice of General Scott rang out
on the plains of Chippewa and Lundy' S
Lane-when hope hung ont her banner in
the sky, and the stars of The Union shone
brighter with the blaze o. victory.
Well said noble warrior of old to the
mailed chivalry of France: MY children, if
you lose sight of your colors, follow my
white plume; it will ever be found in the
path of honor and of glory" Follow the
white plume of GenCrl Scott: it is as pure
as his own charactcr--unsulled by single
stain. 1t has never stopped in deleat-ithas
never 5lushed with dishonor, and it will
lead you to victory.
With the name and character of WM. A.
GRAHAM--our candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency--the country Is well acquainted
Long leader of the Wings OF North Caro-
lina--flling the Executive Chair of that
State--he was subsequently called by Mil

is now called by the voice of his party tc

abilities. To nober hands the Wing ban
