The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-11-12
Wings at Enneuil Hall.

On Friday evening last the Wines of Boston
assembled at Faneuil Hall, being the last rally
preliminary to the election of yesterday. The
Hon. WILLIAM j. HUBBARD presided on the
occasion, and on taking the chair made spirit
ed address, in which he alluded TO the third
parties that had existed from time to time in
the State, and been absorbed in the two great
parties that must permanently divide the coun-
try. These were formerly the Anti-Masonic
and Native American parties, and now the
Free soilers. Mr.. HUBBARD spoke of the bless
ings of the Union, and asked, "Shall we not
cherish the glorious memory of the common
struggles of the North and South during the
days of the Revolution ~ lie cautioned all
present against the willy appeals to the passions
made by the journals and orators of the opposing
factions, and hoped that the answer of his Wing
brethren to these appeals would be, "We
seek no change, and least of all such change as
you would bring u.s."
Resolutions were then offered by Mr.. Ho-
RACE JEWELL, that furnish platform on
which all Wines, North or South, can stand
shoulder to shoulder, and work together for the
good Of the whole country, and the perpetuity
of the Constitution and the Union. There is
nothing sectional in them, and nothing to which
men Of all quarters may not cordially and sin
cerely respond. The WINGS of Boston will
lend no countenance to any opposition to the
laws; and the country will need no assurance
that they are numerous enough, without the
aid Of army or navy, 10 see that those laws are
executed Nor by this would we be understood to
give the exclusive merit in this regard to the
Wines of Boston, for the same determination
pervades the Democracy of that city, and there
is no journal which has taken stronger ground
in support Of the laws than the Democratic
Post.
The following are the resolutions Of the
Vino meeting, which were received with deaf
ening applause, and particularly the resolution
in which confidence is expressed in the present
Chief Magistrate of the nation, and "the able
Cabinet by which he is advised"
81. Re,oIped, That the Wings of Boston recur
with profound emotion TO the recent removal by
death of our late Chief Magistrate, General ZAcY-
AIRY TAYLOR; that the loss of one eminent in the
qualities which most elevate nature, ia a calam-
ity be deplored by an who truly estimate private
worth and public virtue; and that the vaor, wis
dom, and unsulued integrity, which distinguished
him in all his public career, have enshrined bis
memory in the affections of his countrymen.
"2. Resoipsd, That we place full and implicit con-
fdencc in the ability, honesty, and integrity of
WILLARD FILLMORE, and the able Cabinet by which
he is advised. and we pledge to the National Wing
Administration our hearty support.
"3. Resoiced, That the Wbigs of Boston are, with
out exception, now and at all times, and under all
circumstances, roa THE UNION; and that, ms
honor the men who uphold and sustain il, we spurn
and condemn those who seek tie destruction; that
VIC know no country but our whoie country; that VIC
honor the Constitution Of the United States,
honor tho memory Of the patriots who framed IL.
80. Reso'ped, That opposed TO nufca-
ton everywhere, North we'll South; that we
know Of security for life, liberty or property,
but in the absolute supremacy Of law; that every
resistance TO the execution Of the laws 10 attack
upon the safety Of the citizen and that equality and
liberty under tho law is the only freedom worth
possessing.
"5. Resolped, That while we are, and ever intend
to be, law abiding people, and TO submit to exist
ing laws, whether passed with or without our con-
currcnce, we claim and shall ever claim, the right
