| licitude to preserve the institutions of his
! country and the American name free from
all stain or blemlsh; and transmit them un.
impaired to the latest posterity. Such is a
brief, but imperfect sketch of the disting
uished citizen of Ohio, who is now placed
before his country for the exalted station oil
its chief executive magistrate. We cordial
ly recommend him TO the wings of Missis-
sippi, as Statesman who will faithfully
watch over their best interest, and who will
on no occasion disappoint their just expec-
lations.
Governor Tyler of Virginia, who is the adj
junct of Harrison in the nomination of the
convention, has been reared and educated
in the $ hool of Republican virtue and sim
plicity. His fame for patriotism, talents and
integrity, is familiar to his countrymen
throughout the Union. lie was first recon-
mended by the wings of Mississippi, and it
ought 10 be, as doubtless it is, a source of
patriotic pride to his original friends, that
he has been the choice of the National
Wing Convention. He is we'll worthy of all
the honors which his country can confer on
him. We freely confess, that in giving our
assent to this nomination, we reluctantly
yield, not without conjunction, the claims
of an eminent statesman of the West, on
whom the eyes of the people have been
long placed, for the high distinction which
he has earned and so we'll merits: but how
ever much we NAV regret, that the reward
contemplated by grateful country, for the
services of Henry Clay of Kentucky, has
been postponed, under peculiar circumstan-
ces. it is yet source of congratulalion and
Of pleasing expectation, that the friends Of
reform, and the constitution and laws will
find, in the nominee of the convention, a
substitute equally worthy of their support,
and should their united efforts succeed in
expelling the Vandals from the control I'M
der the banner of Harrison, the genious pa
triotism, and statesmenlike views of Henry
Clay, will be manifested in the measures of
the reformed administration. The noble
lesson of liberality, taught us by this disin-
terested patriot, ought not be lost on his
countrymen, but following his ilustrious
example, let every man forget his former par
tialities, and in casting his vote for the cause
rather than the man of his choice, lethim
exclaim with all sincerity, cit was not that
loved Cesar less, but that | loved Rome
more.''
Your committee therefore, without fur
Their comment, recommend the adoption of
the following Resolution.
/. That we heartily and cheerfully ac-
quiesce in the nominations made by the
Convention at Harrisburg, ofWm. H Harris
on and John Tyler, for the first and second
offices in the Government, and that we will
use our best exertions to promote their cleo
ton.
2. That we hail the unanimity with which
these nominations have been received every
where by the wings, and the terror which
they have inspired in the blossoms of the
supporters of the administration, as indica-
tive of certain triumphant success.
8. That the wings of Mississippi, though
defeated in their recent elections, are still
unsubdued, and are determined never to
yield while they have such cause to con-
tend for, and such principles and men to adj
vocate and support.
4. That the wings Of Mississippi entertain
for Henry Clay, that high and distinguished
and respect which he has
earned by his eminent services as States
man and Patrot-and that, although not
the nominee Of the National Convention for
the Chief Magistracy, he yet lives and will
forever live in the hearts of his countrymen.
5. ResOlred, That committee of fifty
be appointed by the President of this NEE
ting to be called Committee of Vigilance
and Correspondence, whose business it shall
be, among other things, to correspond with
similar committees, in other counties, and
with them, to use such other measures as
they may think most advisable, to produce
concert and organization on the part of the
Wings of Mississippi
6. ResoEued, That it is the earnest and
sincere hope of those here assembled, that
the Wings in every county in the State, will
hold meetings, at as early date as practi-
cable. to respond TO the nominations of Har-
rison and Tyler, as candidates for the Presi-
dency and Vice Presidency Of the United
States.
On motion of Judge Rawlings, Resolved
Cat these proceeding be published in all the
Wing papers of the State.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
