WING PRINCIPLES

The following are the principles proclaimed
at Baltimore. at the Great Convention ofthe
ID. inst, sanctioned and approved of in the
laundering response from the voices of hun
dred thousand freemen. The staff is planted
deep and firmly, and the standard is in the air
never more to be struck or abandoned by the
hosts of the true hearted which are crowding
to its defence till victory crowns its principles
with fruition. They are all of the trueSt and
purest republican origin.
Resolued, That this Convention re-reaffirm
and proudly proclaim their adherence 70 the
distinctive Principles ard measures of the
Wing Party, now known by all men, and cher
shed by large majority of the American peo-
pie as follows:
la Tariff which shall of itself provide suf-
ficient revenue to pay the debts and defray the
expenditures of the Federal Government
such Tariff so adjusted as equally to protect,
encourage and cherish in all us branches the
Productive Industry of the country,
2, A National currency, which shall be of
uniform par ralle IN every part Of the Union,
and which may be transmitted from one Sec
ton to any part ofanother without discount or
depreciation, and at the smallest possible cost
to be c:eated by such means and instrument
alties as shall commend themselves to the
wisdom of the next Wing Congress, COUNSEL
ed and aided, not obstructed and thWarted, by
a genuine Wing president
3. A fair aid just distribution of the proceeds
of the public lands among the several States of
the Union, to be by them devoted to purposes
of general and permanent utility, thereby pro-
tecting the common interest of all from ag-
erosion and spoiation,preverting unneccessa-
~ and pernicious fluctuations in the Tariffand
putting stop to the discreditable spectacle of
free and enlightened Nation, year by year,
deyouring its subs ance and steadily diminish
ing the broad patrimony bequeathed to it by the
valor and sacrifices of an illustrio"5 ancestry
to supply the waste and want Gifts annual and
ordinary expenditures.
ResolUed, That the practical restriction of
the veto power, which has grown byirepeated
tncroachments into mighty engine of Exec
utive Despotism, the limitation Of President
| to srr lie term, the retrenchment of our ma
tional expenditures by every practicable means
the reform Of the now glazing abuse and cor
ruptions growing out of any unworthy bestow-
| al of Executive patronage;and the general re-
d1ctton of burthenS and increase of benefits re.
sulting to the people from the existence and
operations of the federal government, are OBJ
iects for which the Wing party will unceasing
| ly strive until their efforts are crowned with ;
signal and triumphant success.

Columbus Whig. (Columbus, Miss.) 1843-18??, 1844-05-30

The nomination of Mr., Frelinghuy-
sen meets with universal approval in
all parts ofIhe country. The friends
of the other distinguished gentlemen
named for the Vice Presidency, concur
heartily everywhere in the choice of
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, and it is now ad-
mitted in all quarters that more hap
by selection could not have been
made.
Under the best auspices, then, do
the wings start forward in the Presi-
dental campaign. Harmony has shed
the influences Of good feeling over
their counsels; Patriotism sanctions
their course; Enthusiasm gives an i'm
puIsive ardour to their actions, filling
all hearts with hope and spirit and en-
ergy. To use Mr.. Webster's appro-
pirate quotation-"Our Union is per-
feet and our cause is just"
On the other side the scene presen-
ted by our political opponents appears
in striking contrast. "The strength
of the Wigs" says the Richmond
Enquirer, ''is in their indissoluble un
ion." True-but it might be added
that this union flows from the FREEDOM
nance ofone conviction, in the sound
ness Of Wing principles and in the un-
shaken confidence which is felt in the
man who has been called, by one
voice, to lead the great Wing array as
the truest and the ablest exponent Of
their cause. But asks the Enquirer,
"whqt is the situation of OUR party at
Washington" And here follows the
answer in the same sentence:
"The members of Congress ale
wrangIing, charged with caballi1g for
some Presidential candidate, our par
ty seemingly tearing Itself TO pieces,
the Spectator rebuking Mr.. Van Blu
rem, and the Globe rebuking Mr.. Cal

come worse COMPOUNDED" We must
terminate these feuds at once. or else
how is it possible that scattered mob,
! such as our party will be, can encoun-
ser the best drilled and strongest dis
cipIined party in the world!"
The present aspect of things holds
ont but little promise of a Termination
i of "these feuds." The Globes at
tacks upon MIR. Calhoun are Of th'
most violent kind. The Spectator re
torts with equal severity. Perhaps
