WHlGS, AND THEIR DUTY.


What if Henry Clay is no longer al the
head ofthe great Wing army2 Have the
Whgs therefore. no country, no principles,
no pride2 Are the Wings of Kentucky,
therefore, ready 10 disband and 10 sink Into
a captivity which will make them aleos in
native land, while licentious men and inca
pable demagogues by profligate pandering
TO the basest passions of the multitude
crawl into power and atrociously subvert
the very foundations of the system OF gov>
eminent established by our folefathers?-
No. No. No. Where is the shrinking and
iimid whig who will not raise his voice to
repel the suspicion that such could be our
course2


We invoke the wings of Louisville to
contemplate for one moment the condition
ofthe government. AN unexpected man
sits IN the chair at Washington. Babbing
declalmers or political sycophants surround
him to yield the sword and purse of The
Union. Ra1lcalsm and charlatanism
hold their impious orgies in the very tenn
pie con secrated by your fathers 10 conser'
valve freedom. Atheism and infidety
boldly claim place among the high priest
hood of the modern Democracy and declar
that their appeal TO the people will be
crowned with success until Christians prac
.tice what they preach The foul Harpy o.
Locofocoism flaps its filthy wings through
your capitol and our proud Eagle droops
| from very shame at the association Re
pudiation is Invited. through its leading ad
vocate. to take charge of your Nationa
| Treasury. Political prescription and un
prlnclpled conversation of the officers of tht
people as rewards for partisan service ar,
represented by the appointment to the De
partment of War of the author of the infa
nous sentiment ito the yictors belong tn,
| spolls the same sentiments which Pack
ham proclaimed as the prize to his sol
diers on the plains of Cha.metle. Is th


then time for patriotism to slumber2 ].
Tins time for you to manifest aphaty OF
sui.en discontent. or even al indifference
to the result of the election? We appea
to you 10 stand by your country. "Peace
purity. plenty, and patriotism will
other nations: purity in the. administration
OF our home affairs; plenty through wei
devised Legislation, and patriotism. that
through the storms and strife Of party
strives to improve the condition of all, anC
to sustain the dignity and integrity of th'


Union.-Preatiee.
