NOW FOR THE HEIGHTS.
"LET THE WELKIN RING."
Tuesday next is the day appointed for the great Whig gathering on the Heights of the Green Mountains. The occasion will call for self denial and we are glad of it. Where men can attend a political Convention without trouble or expense, what evidence is there of their interest in the great cause. The present will afford a test, whether the Whigs of this District are willing to forego some expense and the loss of some time for the purpose of deliberating on affairs of the most weighty importance. Need we point to the efforts and self denial of our Whig brethren in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut and other States to stimulate the Whigs of this District to do their duty. We think this is unnecessary. When it is recollected how important the business which will come before this Convention will be, in its bearings on the coming election, certainly none will stay away on account of any trivial excuse. Let all be awake And the GATHERING WILL BE TREMENDOUS.
