on the occasion of the great outpouring of the
Wings of the Union on the 4th of MAY, 1910, and
join us in efforts for the restoration Of peace, hsr
mony and good will between all sections Of our
common country The direct and immediate ac-
ton OF the people was ever so fully dew, bped as
that memorable occasion in connection with the
political affairs Of the country The Wings OF the
Union then met to concert measures and { o unite
their strength to reform the GoVernment-to place

wards him the conf ience aud attachment of his
cOuntrymen. The crisis that now demands their
re-assemblage in mass convention is vastly
more pressing and important. 1.-THE UNION is
sTRAINiNG HER FAsrENINGs," aud cal;supon all pa
riotc citizens 10 come to her rescue-to throw
a-ide partizan biss and political ties, aud to stand
firm in the support OF that candidate whose answer
wing nationality enable him TO bid the waves OF

and prosperity OF the whole country. We have full

declaration on handing at New York, when he en-.
physically proclaimed 10 his countrymen--
''If there be those, North or South who desire
an administration for the North as against the
South or for the South against the North, they
are not the men who should give their sufrages 10
