/. ResOlced, That in SEABuRY FoRD.
the Wing nominee for Governor, we re-

of national politics.
2. ResOlUed, That weheartily approve
of the course of the late Wing State Con.
yentiou in regard TO the decision of the
question of its nominating candidate
for the Presidency; believing, as we do,
that it was iEexpedient and impolitic for
that Convention to designate any partc-
uar individual for that high and exalted
statiou;-and that that question was we'll
and wisely referred to the action of the
Wing National Convention to assemble
in Independence Hall on the 7th June
next at which time and place, more in,
teligent aud satisfactory interchange of
of sentiment can be had asto Vho shall be
the standard bearer of the great Wing
party in the contest of l646.
9. RcSOLOcd, That we heartily approve
Of the noble and fearless stand taken in
the Senate of the United States by the
Hon. Thomas CoRwrN. in regard 10 the
unconstitutional Presidential War now
waging against neighboring republic;
and that for his indignant, truthful, and
powerful eloquence on that occasion, he
deserves the thanks Of every true hearted
Wing in the Union.
A. RcsOlred, That we pledge to the
nominee of the Wing National Conven-
ton, whoever he may he, whether from
the North or tho South, the East or the
West, our united and ,hdiminished sup
port, with firm determination 20 sustain
the Wig Cause or nobly perish in the
attempt.
s. ResOlced, That while wo do not
hold, as we never have held, that militia.
ry talents and services disqualify their
possessor for the discharge of the high
responsible duties ofthe Chief Magistracy
of this great Republic; yet we do most
emphatically declare it to be our fixed
and malterable conviction, that unless to
the military character are added sound
and conservative constitutional principles
"a ripe and well informed Judgment
an ardent and devoted patriotism-and
a disposition to make the military subser-
oient TO the civil policy the government
no man, however brilliant his victories
or illustrious his deeds in arms-is erli-
lied, to fill the seat once adorned by
the commanding civil abilities of him
"who was first in war. first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen."
6. Resolced, That we have full conf.
dence in the wisdom and patriotism of
the men who will assemble in conven-
tion at Philadelphia, on the 9TH Of June
next, for the purpose of selecting from
among the numerous distinguished indi-
viduals named by The Wings in various
sections of tho Union, Candidates for
the Offices of President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States--lhat they will
present for the suffrages of their Wing
brethern, men of tried political integri,
ty-Whig, pure, and undefled, and un-
suspected-Whigs who are willing to re-
cognize and occupy the great Wing plat
form, as expressed and promulgated
through this Legitimate organ of the
Wing Party OF the Nation.
7. RcSolred, That in a republican 60
vernment like ours, based upon and
sanctioned by public opinion, and design,
ed to carry out and give efficacy to the
public will, through the forms of law, the
siren song of No Party-iSm," is calcu.
lated to lull into false security the public
mind, at time when nall its energies should
be reused to just sense of the immu.
table truth of the maxim that "Me price
Of liberty is eternal uigiiance."
s. ReSolUed, That the integrity and or
ganization of the Wing party is to be
preserved and maintained at all hazards
that whether in triumph or defeat, it
always has and always will net and re-
act upon the administration of the gener-
al government with sound, healthy and
conservative influence; checking and re.
straining, if it does not entirely prevent.
the wild, jacobinical and disorganzing
influences of that party, whose efforts
have ever been aimed to PROSTATE the
great industrial and commercial interest
of the People.
9. Resolved, That war, at all times
and under all circumstances, is to be la
mented, il not deprecated. as a national
calamity,-that even when justice, and
right, and oft-repeated wrong, bid the
sword to leap from its scabbard, good
men will pause before they resort to this
