iluental and respectable character, VIII,
may Justly bo denominatcd Republican
u Wings, for the reason that they have al
. ways, up to the present time, been idcnri
fed with what has been known as the Wha
party OF tho country, under the lead o.
such men as Clay, Webster, and the lesser
lights Of that orce powerful party. They
are conservative in their feelings, honest III
their political opinions, and consistent IN
Ialf they do. They love their country and
her institutions better than party, and
are, therefore, ever ready to do battle with
the true patriots Of the land, whenever
American rights and privileges ray be
threatened, or invaded and, for these
reasons, they will be fouud with the Re
publican armor on, whenever the midnight
plodding emisSarcs Of Sam" and the no
less INSCRIPTIONS followers Of !SdmJO may
think proper TO risk an engagement with
the friends of the constitution, upon the
political battle field.
These men are too honest in their scnti-
mentS ever to lend their votes to build up
a party so anti-rcpuhlican in its nature and
principles as either Know Nothingism or
Abolitionism, aud therefore they cannot
and will not cooperate with either Of these
factions in the political struggles which
may take place, during their career Of
strife and cOmuoton.
A large body Of these Republican Wings
are to be found in Illinois, still larger one
in Kentncky--the land of the illuslrious
Clay-md Pennsylvania, too, is not with
out her lcgionS. Indeed, there is not
single State from Maine 10 California,
where a host of them may not be found !;
and although they may not be sufficiently
strong to elect candidates Of their own for
timc TO como, they arc sufficiently numcr-
Gus to exercise controlling inQuepce in the
matter aud save the country from falling
into the hands of the enemy They have
it in their power to pcrpetuate the glorious
Constitution under which We live, by uni-
ting with the Democracy in opposition TO
the fdoiiOR and faNaticism OF the times,
and manfully opposing the further encroach-
ments Of either SAM" or Sdal6o, upon
the rights and privileges Of q free people.
That they leW DO so, we have no donbt
Indeed they can do nothing better; because
ullOl tuC IlOliNubOho NluNoblOuo hOOub MulCu
they are so sensitive, the elections OF the
country, for time to come, must turn !;
and these men, National Republicans as
they are in principle, must either vote with
the Democracy, or fall into the embrace of
Abolitionism aud its kindred factions. They
must either unite with the true friends Of
the Union, or fall into the ranks Of Know
Nothingism the fundamental principles Of
which are opposition to the known provis-
ions Of the Constitution, hostility to the
best interests Of the Republic, and the pro
scription Of large class Of legal voters,
merely because these voters (likc freemen
shouh) dare to cast their suffragcs in fa-
vor Of Republican men and measures, and
thus keep fAsiOnists, taetiOntsfs aud disoy-
gani=ers out Of Office. t... ,.
Look for moment, at the gallant Old
Commonwealth Of Kentucky-the land Of
brave men and fair women--the land of
the illustrious Clay and his followers and
do you not SEQ the noble hearted Colonel
Preston, the patriotic Dixon, and many
others, who have long and faithfully labor
ed in the whig ranks, now manfnlly con-
tending against the factions into which the
