RosuIt of The Great whig Convention.


Result of the Great Whig Convention.
It is with feelings Of pride and JOY that
we announce to our readers the unanimous
nomination of the Hon. Henry Clay
for the highest office in tho Gift Of the Amer
lean people, by tho Baltimore Wing Con-
vention; and the Hon. Theodore Free
linghuyscn, of New Jersey, for the
Office of Vice President.
The Convention was organized by the
appointment Of the Hon. AMBROSE SPENCER
of New York, as President, and twenty five
Vice Presidents, from different States, and
six Secretaries.
AS soon as the Convention was organized,
the Hon. Benjamin Watkins Leigh, Of Va,
nominated the Hon. HENRY CLAY, Of
Kentucky, for the Office of President of the
United States, which nomination was con-
frmed, says the Baltimore Patriot, by &C.
cIQmation.
Messrs. Evans of Maine, Clayton of Del
aware, and McLane of Ohio, declined a
nomination for the Vice Presidency; and the
following gentlemen were then nominated
for that office, Messrs. Fillmore Of N. Y,
DAVIS Of Mass, Sergeant of PennsylVa.
MIA, and Frelinghuysen Of New Jersey,
when upon the third ballot, Mr.. F. received
majority of the votes. and was declared,
by resolution of the Convention, unani'
mously nominated for the Office Of Vice
President, and we have no doubt, he will
receive the cordial support of the great
Wing Party.
Although the nomination Of Mr.. FIRE.
L1NGHUYsEN is rather unexpected to many,
yet, we believe it will meet with hearty
welcome throughout the Union. He is q

United States, he displayed powers and abil.
tiles that placed him in the front ranks Of
the statesmen of the day. We need only
add, that he has recently been acting as
Chancellor Of the University of New York
that he is man of great moral worth,
and every way competent TO the fulfllment
Of every duty which may devolve upon him
in the Office he is certain TO fill.
