view therefore to this object, and to OBJ
tain direct expression ofthe sentiments
of Rhode Island, we would suggest to
our friends, with an entire respect for
the opinion Of others-whether, when u
Convention shall assemble in this town,
on the third week Of June next, to nomi-
nate Representatives to the Oath Con-
gross, it would not be well that the del
egates to that Convention be instructed
to take into consideration also, the pro-
priety of nominating a candidate for the
Presidency, and to make such nomina-
ton should their constituents desire it,
In this manner the question would be
presented to the people through the most
unexcep,ionable medium; and the result,
we have no doubt, be entirely satisfac-
tory to our Wing friends, in this State and
elsewhere. AT any rate, the attention
of the froemen in every town in the
State cannot be too soon directed to this
interesting subject.
[From the Baltimore Patriot.
GIT is TIME!"
1t is time-and high time too-for the
Wings of the whole country to come to
some understanding in relation to the
Presidency. The Van Buren party see
the lack Of unanimity in our ranks, and
they are taking every advantage Of it
They see us with three candidates in the
field, Webster, Mclean, and Harrison,
and part of us moreover going for Judge
White. This should not be. We can
not surely elect all our candidates, and
it is time that some Of them should retire
from the field, or be Withdrawn by
those who have brought their names be-
fore the public. For ourselves, We are
Whigs-we 60 for the Whis party, and
for Wing principles, whether it be to de-
feat or victory. We are ready to sup
port Clay, Webster, Mclean, Harrison,
or any other good and true Wing, who
will best unite the party; but we protest
against supporting all Of them at once!
1t is bringing ruin and destruction upon
our cause to keep three candidates in
the field. We should have but one
and let that one be Wing in spirit and
in heart; q man around whose standard
the Wings all over the country will rally
as one man! Give us ono Wing candi-
date, and but one. Then our party will
come together, and what with the sup
port Judge White will receive at the
South and South West, will carry terror
and dismay into the ranks Of Van Buren
and tho Office Holders
Already the greedy Jacksonites,-
thinking to profit by the division in our
ranks, are preparing TO make a desper-
ate effort to harness Maryland to their
support. Banks, the 'Real Estate Bank
and what not, will be their hobby. The
Jackson party in this city is publishing
endless articles in length, upon the sub
ject. The New York Evening Post,
and the Globe, are tWning their kind at
tentions to US; and the latter obicial has
given out word that it will speedily de-
vote its particular attention TO the people
of this State. 1t is time for Marylanders
to be up and doing 1t is time for the
Wings every where to be on the look
QUITO prepare for concert, union and
action! Union and unllinching persever-
ance, on our part, will yet save the Un-
ion. Division and inactivity will bring
a Van Buren, monarchy, an Office Hold
ers' despotism, upon our heads forth
with! by union and perseverance, we
can certainly carry against Van Buren,
and for Whig candidate, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Vermont, Della
ware, Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Indi-
ana, and Louisiana, and very possibly
Connecticut and Pennsylvania--for Con-
necticut is by no means tied down for
good to Van Burenism; and as for Penn
sylvania, so sure as the division of the
Jackson party in that State holds on
just so sure can the Wings carry the
keystone State triumphantly;- y;-whilst
Judge White can, without any doubt
that we can now perceive, carry Virgin
ia, North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi.
What chance, then, has Van Buren of
success. 1t remains with the Wings to
say. They can, by their divisions and
supineness, let him be elected trium-
phantly; or they can prevent his cleo
tion. We again remind them that it is
time to have but ONE candidate in the
field. Will they attend to the subject
Nous rerrons.
