members Of Congress. Our friends, from all
parts Of the State, are calling upon US TO rally
the party, and Get day for the meeting Of a
Convention. We are assured that the Wings
wers never more firmly united 10 principle and
purpose, than at the present time and all tina.
is necessary for united action in the coming
canvass, 10 thorough organization.
Then lei us organize. Lei our friends Of he
press consult the influential and working men Of
our party. and ixupon some day for couniy or.
ganizAtions. Let ~ have primary meetings in
every county in the State, for the purpose Of or.
ganizing and appointing delegates to DE pro-
posed S,xie Convention. Let uaea be selected
who will be surs 70 attend such convention, SO
that We may have true representation of the
sentiments and feelings of the entire party, from
every section of the State. Let our county con-
vsntions, at the same time, nominate suitable
candidates for the Legislature. They should,
In no instance, fail to attend 10 this important
matter. Let no one say the Democratic MAORI
y in our county 10 too large to contend against.
That majority will never be diminished so
long as there IL no regular opposition. Resolve
that that majority, no matter how large, can and
must be overcome. Recollect that truth is
mighty and must prevail; and being conscious.
a. every intelligent Wing must be, that the
principles advocated by his party are the only
true conservative principles of republican Gov
eminent, and by their promotion the honor, dig
nifty and welfare of his country can only be sus.
tanned, lot each buckle on his armor for The con-
tes,, and, with united action, strive for the VIC
tory. If you cannot succeed in carrying your
county, your efforts may encourage the friends
Of the cause in the adjoining counties, and be
the means Of insuring them triumphant victory.
If you have not thorough county organizations.
you cannot expect to give your candidates for
Stats Offices the entire vote Of the party This
will be needed to insure success.
We do firmly believe if there can be united
and thorough organization of the good old Wing
party Of tho State. and the people fully apprized
Of the importance Of rstrenchment and reform,
in the administration of our State Government,
and Of their duty, as independent citizens, TO
throw off the burthensome yoke of Locofoco
misruls, which has Already brought our once
proud State down, almost to the lowest stage of
national degradation,--if these things can be
accomplished, We say we firmly and confidently
believe our State will be redeemed, and in future,
the reins of Government wrenched from the
reckless hands ef such demagogues as have
constituted the ruling majority in our Legisla-
ture, for the last twelve years. ..... .
Our opponents are TO hold Convention in
May next. Al that time they will nominate
and perhaps attempt some plan by
which the discordant elements of their party
may be harmonizsd; but, as has been their po-
LEY, will not adopt any regular set of principles,
upon which their candidates can go before the
people and claim their support. They may. as
heretofore, make few resolves. declaring that
the Democratic party are opposed to admins
tsring the Government in accordance with Jede-
raj Wiig principles. They will propose no
measures for the benefit OF the people. They
confine themselves to an indiscriminate and
insane warfare on Wings and Wing measures,
and offer no proposition for the benefit of the
masses. They. as party, have always been in
favor of negatives. They never have proposed
anything practical, but universally limit them
selves to the proposal and advocacy of mere alb
susetions. They are sure to adopt set of reso-
lutions, but these resolutions are as sure to affirm
nothing but distractions, while, at the same
time, they will deny all positive measures.
They are sure to have some fummsry about the
rights of the people. and the true principles of
the justice and propriety of which,
20 Wing in the State will deny, and then they
will close up by long catalogue of declarations
If undying hostility to federal Wing measures.
Beyond this they cannot go. The party is, at
his time, completely divided on every principle
IF State policy. and on every other subject, eK-
,ept the love of Office. There is not Locofoeo
'disor now in the State, that has any idea what
Of State policy their Convention will
'ssolvs 10 oppose. They are waiting, with pa
fence, the decision Of that Convention, before
hey positively commit themselves either to the
,aymsnt or reputation of the Planters Bank
,onds. Why this State of affairs2 Why
'hould the knowing ones of our opponents be
10 ignorant a. to the course their party win pur
,ue after the meeting of their State Convention 7
The answer lie clear. While Wings think
mainly OF measures and principles best calcu-
aied 10 secure the happiness and advance the
interest of ths community IT large. shsirs Loco.
Geo brethren are puzzling their minds about the
,est mode of getting into Office, and Of course
'annot como TO any final conclusion a. to their !
principles until they have ageneral consultation
md comparing Of notes Of the wise men Of their |
'srsy. Wings arenevsr placed in this awkward
'redicament; they are never in quandary As 70
be course likely 10 be pursued BY their party.
rhs principles of Wing are fixed and immov-
bic. They are ever conservative, tending to- |
Yards judicioas and economical adminisira-
Ion of the Government, and never opposed to /
he payment Of honest debts, for the redemption
{ which The faith Of the State has been pledged,
o matter whether contracted BY . Locofoco Or
Wing administration. II
