FROM THE BOSTON ATLAS, JULY 4.
THE INSTRUMENTATION CONVENTION.


We expressed our views a few days since upon
the eypediency of s,Ispending the discussion al
together to the whig candidate for the Presi-
denry until tho meeting of the National Conyen-
ton in the fall Of 1899. We are happy to find
the ideas we advanced upon this subject fully
sustained bv the Louisville Journal, the ahest and
most influential Of the Western papers, and which
has been hitherto distinguished for The zeal and
assidiitv with which il has advocated the nomina-
ton of Mr. CLAY. In a late number of that paper
is an article on the subject of the Presidential
canvass, from which we make the following *
Tract
3" The policy proper to be pursued by the Wings, un-
der existing circumstances, cannot be matter Of doubt
II beng now certain that National Convention II TO be
held in December, 1889, and that other Wing cand
date than the nominee Of lla Col.c have even
possible chance Of being elected 10 the Presidency it is
the duty of all good Wings TO await the nomination with
sle, conhdrnce resolved to sustain il, when ad, with
whatever o zeal and ability they bring 10 the great
cause. Let aud State undertake to say that
there is but individual in the upon whom the
Wing party can be brought 10 mite. Tho who is
unwilling TO give Wing vote unless he give it for
particular ndi, idual, is himself Wing, but
Norslnppe and the State HAT tind but one Wig
candidate IN the whole country npon whom TO bstoW its
vote is itself Whg State, but MISUNDERSTANDING
Stale Hencelort let there be discussion among
political iricHds as 10 the comparative neiii popularity oil
their respective iavorites. Let them, in their meetings
express preference for any Wing candidate over an.
other but content themselves with declaring their deter
nination 10 put down the present incumbent Of the Pre-
aehcy and TO leave TO the assembled patriotism OF the
nation, the great Convention of 1899, the decision OF
the interesting question of the succpssofshp The friends
Of Messes. Clay, Webster, and Harrison know from cx
peience, that discussion among themselves. however
aiicabie at first viii result, naturally and almost ne
cessarly in retort and nvectre and that the miserable
spectacle will thus be presented, n great party suffer
ing itself to be aglated and torn by intestine siriies in
stead Of directing It's undivided strength against the
mon enemy
We trust that is sbject will receive from our Whig
brethren all that calm consideration TO which its high i'm
lortance entities it."
We see, also, that the .NasAriNe Banner, an
able and well-conducted paper, concur. in the same
views. The Banner copies the above article with
this preface:

The constant habit of Bisop Boufler TO forgive
the injuries done to him, led one Of his friends to
write the following lines after his death, which
must be considered the more beautiful, as being
true:
Some write their wrongs in marble; he more lust
stopped down serere, and wrote them in the DUST

There. buried in the dust, he bade them lie
