2. Resolved That in the choice OF General
Taylor as the Wing candidate for President. we
are glad 10 discover sympathy with great pops
ulsr sentiment throughout the na,ion-a sent>
ment which, having its origin in admiration Of
great military success, has been strengthened by
the Development in every action and every
word, OF sound conservative opinions, and OF
true fidelity to the great examples Of former days;
and TO lRT principles OF The Constitution as ed.
ministered by its founders.
3. Resolped, That General Taylor. in saying
that, had he voted in 1914, he would have voted
the Wing ticket, gives us the sssurance-apd no
better is needed from a consistent and truths
speaking man-ihat his heart was with Us at the
crisis Of our political destiny, when HENRY CLAY

heart that was with US then is with US now, and
we have q soldiers word OF honor, and life
Of public and private virtue. ss the security.
4. Res9lvtxs What we look to Gen. Tsylor's
administration Of The Government as one condu.
Give Of Peace, Prosperity and Union. Of Peace
because no one better knows or has greater
reason 10 deplore, what he has seen sadly on the
field Of victory, the horrors Of war, and especial
ly Of foreign and aggressivewar. of Pros
perity-now more than ever needed to relieve
the nation from burden OF debt. and restore in.
dusty agricultural. manufacturing and COM
mercial-to its accustomed peaceful functions
and influences. of Union-because we have a
candidate whose very position as South. Wes-
tern man. reared on the banks OF that great
stream whose tributaries. natural and artificial,
embrace the whole Union, renders the protec>
lion Of the interests Of the whole country his
frst trust, and whose varied duties in pas. lie
have been rendered, not only on the soil, or un,
der the flag OF any State or section, but over the
whole frontier, and under the broad banner OIL
the Nation.
S. Resolued, That standing as the Wing par.
~ does, on the broad and firm platform OF the
Constitution, braced up by all its inviolable and
sacred guarantees and compromises, and cher.
ished in the affections because protective OF the
interests Of the people, we are proud TO have, as
the exponent Of our opinions; one who is pledged
to construe it by the wise and generous rules
which Washington applied 10 it, and who hs,
said (and no Wing desires any other assurance
that he will make Washingtons Administration
the model OF his own.
6. Resolued, That as Wings and Americans
we are proud 10 acknowledge our gratitude for
the great military services which. beginning al
Palo Alto, and ending at Buena Vista. frs
awakened the American people 10 Jus. estimate
Of him who is now our Wing candidate. In the
discharge OF painful duly-for his march into
the enemy's country was reluctant one; in The
command Of regulars at one time. and OF volun
teers at another. and Of both combined; in The
decisive though Punctua discipline OF his camp
where all respected and beloved him; in The ne,
COLLATION. Of terms for detected and desperate
enemy; in the exigency Of an actual conflict
when the balance was perilously doubtful-we
have found him The sume-brsve distinguished
and considerate; no hearless spectator Of blood
shed, no trifer with human life or human happi-
ness; and we do not know which 10 admire most
his heroism in wthstanding the assaults OF the
enemy in the almost hopeless fields OF Buens
Vista--mourning in generous sorrow over the
graves OF Ringgold. Of Clay or OF Hardn--or
in giving in the heat OF battle terms OF mercifuI
capitula.ion TO vanquished foe a, Monterey, and
not being ashamed TO avow that he did il to spare
women and children, helpless infancy. and more
helpless age, against whom no American soldier
ever wars. Such military man whose triumphs
are neither remote nor doubtful whose virtues
these trials have tested, we are proud TO make
our candidate.
Z. RESOLVED, Tha. in support OF such nom
nation we ask our Wing friends throughout the
nation to unite. and 70 cooperate zealously, res,
olutely, with earnestness in behalf OF our csndi
date, whom calumny cannot reach, and with RESI-
pectful deneanor to our sdversaries whose can
didates have yet 10 prove their claims on the graf
itude OF the nation. 50 .
