possessed of her mistress love, as in all TRACE

her back hair down. What farce or five act

FROM AN OLD LINE WING.
To the Members of the recent assemblage at Bal
timore, styling itself Wing Convention.

GENTLEMEN: An obscure individual, here.
tofore addicted to the voting of Wing tickets
and to the support of Wing principles, who
knows where to find all that remains of the
archives and organization of the Wing party in
Ohio, has read with care the proceedings of
your Convention. 1t purports to be Conven.
ton called to revive and reorganize the old
Wing party, and to be composed of individuals
filed with regret that the party to which they
once belonged is no longer in the field. You
avow your belief that the time and occasion
are at hand for the grave to burst it's cere-
ments; for the buried to revisit the earth and
you solemnize your belief by setting the ex-
ample in your own proper persons.
"Be thy intents wicked or charitable,
Thou com'st in such questionable shape
That will speak to thee"
The work of reviving a great party is a
serious work. The old Wing party drew but
little money from the national treasury. Her
leaders lacked the art of getting themselves
elected to frequent Office but studied rather
how, at the head of the armies of the Republic
to advance her standards upon contested fields !;
how, in peace, to develop the material resources
of the nation, by commerce and the arts !;
how, at the bar and on the bench to expound
and render impregnable the true principles of

Sons of large and generous statesmanship
1t was only in the small arts of an electioneering
canvass they were deficient. In their chosen
fields of labor they we're everywhere victorious.
Their country's history can never refuse
them place on those of her pages in which
are written the most shining records of civic
and military genius.
We, of the rank and file of that old party,
were accustomed to stand up to the contest
with scarcelyn hope of victory, and to consider
our efforts compensated by the healthy inAu-
ence upon public affairs, always possible to a
vigilant and courageous minority. We were
held together, not by the gossamer webs of party
allegiance, but by most mutual and emulous
seal upon great themes of national concern.
ment. Who would revive that old party must
revive the occasion, the principles, and the
feelings, which originated and sustained it.
