We published the other day letter from
Maj. Rollins, of Boone, and to-day we give
an article from the Paris Mercury, which
will commend itself to the attention Of the
Wings Of Missouri. AT the same time, we
trust, we do no violence to private cores
pondence, when we extract the following
brief paragraphs from the letter of one Of
the best and most influential Wings in Mis-
souri-an up-country Whig-who has la
bored faithfully in the Wing cause, and is
yet ready and willing to do duty in any
position. He says:
81 doubt not the canvass in Missouri
next summer will be highly interesting
one. The election Of Senator TO succeed
Atchison will add very much to the intensity
of that interest. The course OF the Wing
party, l think, is plain one. They should
form no "entanglng alliances" but let oil
MISUNDERSTANDING all immaterial issues
-dismissing feelings of jealousy and heart
burnings, and cementing by all honorable
means, the ties whichs in former days made
us one." "My earnest desire is
the promotion of the harmony and union Of
our party in Missouri. And l hope every
man who claims to be OF our number, and
will yet seek to disturb our relations, and at
tempt to foment discord, will be spurned
as unfaithful, and will be regarded as an
enemy, until he repents of his errors and
returns to his allegiance"
The letter from which this is an extract
is written, as we have minated, by an
unimpeachable Whig-a working Wing,
whose word and influence will go as far as
that of any man in Missouri. We quote it
for the purpose of saying, that it meets our
hearty approval, as it will do that of nine
teen-twentieths of all the Wings in Missouri.
On this subject, we have no concealments,
and mean to have none in others. We are
for sending majority of Wings to the next
Legislature-not Benton Wings, or Atch-
ison Wings, but men who will openly and
all the time vote for Wing Senator, and
nothing else. We want no "entangling
alliances" and shall not advise or advocate
the election Of any man who has the least
faint or suspicion about him. There are
better Wings in Missouri than can possibly
be found among the Locofocos for this office,
and as, fer more than thirty years, with only
two exceptions, we have had none but Loco
focos TO represent us in the Senate of the
United States, we should be false to our
selves if, for any cause Wing could be
found to cast his vote for Locofoco. No
such man shall be there with our help, at oil
events.
Whether the Benton and Democratic
parties stand up against each other, or dis
continue the fight is immaterial TO US. We
are still for opposing them by putting up
candidates in each and every comfy of the
State. We do not believe there can be an
union Of the parties named, until Benton is
politically dead. This opinion we do not
care to conceal, nor do we care about avow-
ing our belief that the Democratic party is
Just as numerous, and as hard 10 beat, as
the Benton men, in Missouri. But both
parties must be beaten by the Wings. That
is the sure way of achieving solid triumph,
and if we set about it in the spirit which
animates our correspondents letter, we shall
do it.
There will be three tickets in the field in
every Congressional district, and in every
county Of the State. This is inevitable.
We observe that the Benton plan of bring
ing out candidates is developing itself in
Major Phelps district. Papers are in cir
culation for signatures among the Benton
men, inviting Judge w. P. Johnson to be a
candidate for Congressional to this he will
give his assent, if his fear Of being defeated
does not control him. The Democrats, still
adhering TO the caucus system, will have
convection and nominate their man; and
SO it will be all over the State. The Ben
ton party cannot nominate by caucus nor
sustain caucus nominee. The party op-
posed 10 him may do so, and will do SO.
And then the task of the Wings is of easy
accomplishment. They can elect, as they
have already elected, majority of Repre-
sentatives to Congress, and they can carry
each branch of the Legislature, and secure
the election of Wing Senator to succeed
ATcHIsoN. ID
This is the stake which we have TO play
for. 1t is a great stake, and one which we
are sure to win, if we are firm and rcsoute
in having every thing done fairly and hon.
orably. We repeat to our Wing friends,
avoid all ''entangling alliances" get ready
for the contest by bringing out the best men
in each Congressional District, and in every
county for the Legislature, and we shall
triumph.
