500 to 1000 majority, every Wing candidate
put in nomination was elected, and in varl-
Gus other localities where our full strength
was put forth our opponents were either
beaten entirely or triumpbed at poor dying
rate. Hamilton county, the first time for ten
years, has wheeled into line with her solid
columns. The Reserve counties have done
nobly, generously, more than their share to-
wards redeeming the State, but will do much
better in November. From the Northwest
not much has reached us, but the indications
are that we have at worst lost nothing there.
With their rapidly growing vote and large
Locofoco preporderance, for us to lose moth
ing at the State election is equivalent to
large gains elsewhere. It is glorious omen
for November. The naturalized vote is, in
many localities, more largely with us than
ever before, but in November tens will be
substituted for units now. We know of no
one except the Wing candidates for county
officers in Knox county, who received as
large vote as they say they can give ScoTr
in the same locality. But in other districts,
where full vote was not necessary to Sc
cure the. candidates, the Wings turned out
badly. The most favorable vote in the Con-

the Wing strength. The only true infer
ence to be drawn from the helter- -skelter con-
test between local candidates last Tuesday
| is that our friends are gaining courage
and strength. They accomplished results
which two months ago were deemed i.npos-
sible. In no case where they have chosen
to do their utmost, has their success fallen
much short of expectations. Far more might
have been done, but regrets are useless
The truth is, all eyes are turned to the con-
test for the Presidency. On that and that
only do the Wings of Ohio propose to test
their whole strength. Clark, aud Preble,
and Franklin, and Delaware, land other coun-
ties, which are now receiving the paudits of
the State, propose to add still another wreath
to their laurels on that occasion. Ross,
Muskingum, Scioto, &C., will redeem their
standing In the Whig ranks. Unless our
friends entirely mislead US in the different
counties, victory is clearly within our reach.
| The great Patriot who led us in 1874, and
with whom Ohio Wings triumphed with the
same principles now in issue, is no more
The msts and clouds with which party pre-
judice and the acrimony of party warfare OBJ
scured his fame,are dispelled. The people,
with no dissenting voice, have vindicated
his character. They sent him, unapprecia-
ted and unrewarded, to q patriots grave,
but with an emphasis admitting neither
doubt nor opposition, they have declared
him worthy to be enrolled among the few,
the immortal names that were not born to
die. AS he approached the termination Of
his earthly career they saw clearly much
that had been perverted or hidden, and with
hearts all alive to the greatness, the wisdom
and the purity Of IS patriotism, they poured
with common impulse their unavailing
tears into his grave. Who is there that
does not feel loftier pride-a nobler tri-
umph in having been with HENRY CLAY de-
feated in 1874 than he could have felt at find.

Another name not less bright nor less
glorious is nov before you. His field of ac-
ton has been different, more full of peril,
more various, more brilliant. Such career
never happened by accident. 1t can only
result from high talents and large virtues.
The men who drew the inspiration Of their
ambition, and laid,the fucdations of their
character in the examples of our revolution
ary epoch are rapidly passing away. Every
age has its peculiar impress, but history
may be searched in vain for race of men at
all comparable either in the virtues of head
or heart, with the noble patriots who a
chieved our revolution, or sprung immedi-
ately from its loins, extending its maxms
and its spirit of self devotion through the
succeeding generation. One the few re-
naming, and most iiIustrious of these, Is

Wings. Push on
We are conscious of truth when we say
that the share Of this great work assigned
to as has been done. The event will soon
be past your reach, never to be recalled
Other work may be dohe at some other
time-this must be done now or never. If
he ever faltered when danger was to be en-
countered, or duty to be performed for your
sakes, then may you falter now. Otherwise
scatter your doubts to the winds, and push
on!
In conclusion, we have only to repeat the
recommendations contained in our circular
Of the l4th inst, to county committees.
i. Perfect your organization Immediately.
In this way you learn what persons can be
reached by persuasion and what kind Of
persuasion to use.
II. Call into the field as many active,
energetic Wings as you can, and assign to
each one a certain portion of your county,
till the county is provided for. Let each
man be held responsible for his own work,
and set no one at it who cannot be depended
upon.
III. Arrange for school house meetings
in every township, and have them addressed
by the best speakers you can commando
Give them the facts and arguments, and they
will do the work, whether your speaker shall
be eloquent or not.
Nv. Arrange for large meetings whenev-
er and wherever they will do good, but fail
not to push your township work. The con-
test will be short; make it also sharp and
decisive. You will, of course, attach no i'm
portunce to the Dragging estimates of our
adversaries. The State can be carried for
ScoTT.
