@ In complying with areqnes,, to copy from the
Charlottesville Advocate the foregoing brief address,
We avail ourselves OF the occasion 10 say that We
most heartily approve ofthe object contempa'edby
Many Wings" We are aware, that, among the
Wing party, there are many individuals opposed to
the whole machinery of Conventions. in the seec-
ton OF candidates for public Office and, to certain
extent, we participate in this feeling. Blu, there
occasions " hich demand surrender Of individual
predictions in favor of this mode, and renunca-
ton OF personal prrjndices against hat il be neces
sary to secure tha, harmony of purpose, and that
concert Of acti ~ without which shall a!oure
the field. like raw and undlsciplined militia any
cut down IN detail by the more compact though per
aps nunerit ally weaker force efthe opposing parry.
But in reference to the selection of Wing ,andidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, there are
considerations of peculiar force. why the weight of
the Wings of Virginia should be felt. Mr.. Clay is
The decided choice of ninety nine hunredlhs oftat
party in this State for the Chief Magislracy So is
he also OF the Wings of Tennessee and North Caro-
lima Aud yet in those STATES, as well as in Virginia.
the opposition to Convcn'ionai nominations is so
ns,lhat all Of them will perhaps be unreprese nted.
Is tins just to ouiselyes-or to the man Of our
choice! The Convention piii be held and cand
dates Tor the two highest Offices in the gift Of the
people will be presented, by that Convention TO the
consideration of rhecountry. 1.-THE friends Of Mr.
Clay, from a sqneamish hostility TO this mode OF
acton, refuse to send delegates that body. they
'un the hazard of having palmed upon The n acand'-
late less acceptable and less calculated 10 enlist the
'rdof aud zeal Of the Wing party in bis support
We hope, then, that the various counties oil the
Commonwealth wW appoint delegate or delegates
o Wing Convention TO be he d at the White Sui
thur during the present summer, and invest that DO
" with the power of appointing Delegates to the
harrisburg Convention, which is to meet 10 De'
ember next No evil can arise from such a course
much good may.
