mans chances Of election are utterly. utterly hope
less What then should they dos In what oni,
way can they defeat Fremont, The question is east
ly answered Ii is only by voting unitedy at IN,
South for Willard Fillmore For he will carry New
York almost beyond the possibility Of doubt, and

of the Southern States, win elect him. We beg th,
Southern people Of all parties to ponder well thi
pregnant and important fact and act as becomes mel
and patriots, anxious to promote the welfare of the

Preparations for the Wing Convention.
Not only in the noble city Of Baltimore, bu
throughout the country, our Wing friends are ma
king considerable preparations for the Wing Con

nesday. We hear Of large numbers OF Wings who

occasion, and help to swell the mighty throng which
will compose the grand mass meeting Thursday
We reoiced to witness the spirit which thus i'm
pels Wing friends to lend hand To make the de-
monstaton in Baltimore one Of the largest and most
imposing which any party has had for many years
We should like to sec the true and gallant Wings
from every State Of the Union go up by hundreds
and thousands to Baltimore next week We hear OF
many who are going from Petersburg, Richmond,
Norfolk, and other points in Virginia and we sin
cerely trust that the Old Dominion may be largely
and proudly represented on that interesting gscca-
sion. Why should not several hundred Wings from
Richmond and Petersburg unite TO form party for
the purpose, and 90 together in body to the Con-
ventions 1t might easily be done, il few Of the
more active would bestir themselves little and try
to get up company. Let it be done by all means,
as the occasion will be of great and commanding
interest
