YOUNG MEMS WING NATIONAL
CONVENTION OF RATIFICATION.

TO the Young Wigs Of the United States.
FELLow-C ITizENs;-The Young Wings
of Baltimore, assembled in Convention, have
delegated the Undersigned, TO solicit, in their
name, your attendance at the Young Mems
Wing National Convention of Ratification
to be held in this city, or Thursday, the
second of May.
The discharge Of this, grateful duty, re-
qnIres US to enter upon no elaborate state
ment Of the reasons, which prompt us to de-
sire your presence. The Presidential can
vass has already been opened before the ma
ton. Already, the movements Of the people
have begun to indicate the profound solicit
tude they feel, for the proper decision of the
great questions which it involves. Those
questions have been the subjects Of your ia
miliar discussion and anxious thought. You
have nothing to learn as to the political faith
you profess, and nothing can strengthen
your conviction Of the momentous extent, to
which the fortunes Of your country depend
upon its successful PRONUNCIATION. Upon
these things, We forbear to dwell.
-Four years since, your enthusiasm burst
forth, upon, this spot, into a flame, which
went on, burning unto victory. We call
upon you, again to light your fires among
us, as the altar of the same pairiotism.-
Now, as then, you have high principles to
animate your counsels-high aims to con-
secrate your action. Embracing, in itself,
all that is comprehensive and statesmanlike,
in public policy all that is thoroughly and
warmly American in scope and spirit
blending all that deserves the appreciation Of
the good, with all that commands the favor

right to demand, that you should give your
energies and thoughts to its triumph. Upon
THE MEN, by whom that cause is to be rep
resented before the country, the choice of a
National Convention has not, it is true, yet
fallen. The public feeling however, echoed
in a unanimity of acclamation, has left no
doubt that the distinguished citizen has
been in fact, already chosen, upon whose
genius and wisdom and virtue, the conf
dence of our party will, chiefly, rest the
hopes of the Republic. Upon his character,
comment is useless. 1t combines and Illus
trates all the elements Of nobleness, which
belong to the American people. The source
of our highest pride-it has been, not less,
the centre Of our warmest affection. Ii was
made for a nation's reverence-it-ha has earn
ed a nations gratitude. Place can lend it
10 dignity, higher than its own. The Office
to which Washington gave l~ustre, is the
sphere to which its greatness belongs.
Against our principles, sustained by such
a champion, what opposition do we find ar
rayed! So far as the discord, which results
from unsettled principles and conflicting per-
sonal ambition, has permitted any thing like
certainty to spring from the action Of our
opponents, it seems that they have nothing
to offer, but another trial of the same men
and the same measures already, so signaliy
overthrown. What they can promise TO
themselves from such a policy, it is not easy
tor us to imagine, nor is it needful that we
should inquire. |: may be, that their esti-
mate of popular intelligence and consistency
suggests to them that Reproduction by the
people, four years since, furnishes the surest
guaranty Of the peoples admiration now J.
Perhaps they have some hope hat their
champions may gain in sympathy, as politi-
cal martyrs, what was denied to them, in
respect, as political saints Be that, how
ever, as it may, to them-to us, the revival
of the old war-cry but ~reyives, in tenfold
force, every element of our former resist
ance. We deem their men and measures
now-as we deemed them, when they last

thy the confidence of the country-hostile
TO all that can promote her warfare-dan-
gerous to the purity and the permanency of
her excellent institutions. -Four years cannot
have made political corruption less corrupt,
nor political imbecility less imbecile They
are now, what they were before. They can
be discounted now, as they were routed
them Let our fellow Wings, therefore, ap-
ply themselves to the task. 1t is easy, but it
is Of solemn import. Let the Young men of
the nation gather themselves together The
country has need Of their united delibera-
tons.
We have lately exerted ourselves not un-
successfully, here in Maryland, to make our
State a proper rallying ground, for the
GREAT VINO COUNCIL. We have shown, to
our countrymen, a Wing victory, thorough
and glorious, as the best pledge of our de-
Sotion 10 the common cause. We present
them a regenerated Commonwealth, as our
worthiest and most acceptable offering. Ii
is to THE VINO CRY OF BALTIMORE. Wing,
ct last, from centre to circumference, that
we bid them make their pilgrimage of duty.
Our banner is but waiting to be unfurled
by their hands. Our homes are as open, TO
receive them, as our hearts will be, to give
them welcome. q
