=. S.h,,sLs hut We are not Wings. We are willing
70 act with YOU hereafter any ground which CON-
mends itseIf to our mutual approsal but you ash us
" IN becn hy asserting to propositions which express
,o,,- convictions but are adverse to OvTs. If you
iii meet Us on common ground, We viii gladly CO.
.o,er,te with YOU; will not ssk you to renoanee
,eur Wbr convictions, and you must not constrain
.ns IN seem to renounce our adverse convictions
.,,lilc they still remain such. We will cheerfully
,,,rnor, ant. Douglas candidates who are Wings in
spitc Of our diyersit! OF views If you will do the
same by oar candidates on the same ground of agree
meat as 10 the great question nov imminent and
liberty TO differ all others. Why Is not this fairi
Il certainly seems so to us. Nay: we see no other
Ground on which all the opponents OF the Nebraska
Iuouity can be brought to act together harnonousiy
and successfully
nBut there If Free-Soil State tcketin the field
say some stcLlers for the Wing organization; what
d" shall we do about that!
our advice is. Let il be sustained by the united
,nt.Nebraska forces with the understanding that the
Wbigs shall have the L. :. Senator and majority OF
.ho eoisl,ture and that the Wings and anti-Nebras-
|. Democrats shall have the four Members of Con-
oress OF course. the FreeSoil candidates will get
out OF the way if that be requisite; but why should
be They are universally known to be capable and
deserving men: their sOundness on the great ques-
tion is undoubted; they were selected with harness
and wisdom with reference to their Wing or Demo-
cratic standing in other days; and they will undouot
edJy treat all their anti-Nebraska supporters Win
canal favor In case of their election. Speaking as q
WHO and with reference to the known objects and
principles of the Wing party say that We deem 1t
fortunate circumstance that the FreeSOilers have
State ticket in the field, so that the Wigs, by cor
daily adopting and supporting it, may fairly
Law claim to the United States Senator and 70
= liberal share of the Members of Congress, conced-
inc tbe residue to tie Anti-Nebrasha Democrats. If
we had no other object than to secure Wing ascend
aney in the Nation should insist on the adoption
and election of that same State Ticket, just as 1t
stands and protest against allowing single man on
il TO decline The only way to make others forget or
overlook past differences is to show that we forget
them ourselves: aud when we wish concessions OF
others We must begin by eyncing Willingness to
make them. Let the Free.SOil State ticket be
adopted Just as it is BY the Wings, without asking
of its members hackers any concessions pledges
and let the Wings and Independents proceed to nomln
ate candidates for Congress and the Legislature after
their Owl heart, committed only to the most deter
mined resistance to the Nebraska nquty and its con
tryers When the larger party takes such long
stride toward cancellation, the smaller cannot for very
shame refuse to do likewise. Thenceforward, every
hing is easy harmony is inevitable and triumph NOR
ally certain.
We offer these suggestions to the Wings OF Mich
igan because we see that many of their own Journals
have involved Themselves in heated controversy on
points inmatcrial to the main question: controversy
which threatens common defeat and destruction. Our
faith in the wisdom of the habitua leaders of the Wing
party is weak but our confidence in the intelligence and
uprghtness OF the Wing masses is unbounded We be-
seech these to take the matter into their own hands
and insist that the Country shall not be sacrf ed I'M
der faacious pretense of preserving the erganiza
ton Of the party. Let the next Election be carried
en- the only basis whercwth success is possible, and
Wing ideas, convictions, purposes, and even organ
zation, will be potent and vital so far as the crcum-
stances of the Country shall demand: but to insist
that the next Election shall be won by and for the
Wing party SUCH il to whelm that party, with the
cause Of Territorial Freedom, in one common ruin.
Woe 20 that man whose counsels or whose aspira-
ticns hall n'oke such acaamity
