We place at the head OF our pa per to-
! day the name of WILLIAM B. CLARKE, OF
Weshing Ton county, the Wing nominee
for Governor. As a politician Mr..
Clarke is known and tried Whig,-one
who has always proved true and unwa-
vering IN his long service to his party
and the country, and though often tried
always found strong before the people;
and as man his reputation is as pure
and spotlrss as. honor and virtue can
make it. We had the good fortune to
be present at the whole proceedings of
the Convention, and can with truth say
that we never saw any Convention con-
Quoted more harmon,ouslv, and any Hom-
ination more cordially received; both by
the members Of the Convention, and the
audience present. This IS as it should be
and we hail it as bright omen Of our
success next fall.

Let the Wings now Sc, themselves to

as they will, II they are just to them.
selves.
Every where the nomination has been
hailed with marked evidences ofsucc-ss,
but it is evident TO every one who OBJ
served the progress OF the canvass for the
nomination. that il was attended with an
unusual warmth OF feeling on the part OF
friends Of the different asprans. So
lar was this feeling allowed to prevail.
in some paris OF the State, that 1t threat
ened TO sever the bonds of poliscal fra
ternity and separate brethren OF the same
political family. 1t is against the ,ndul-
gence Of this feeling that we now desire
solemniy TO protest. 1t is not only the
right, but the duty, Of independent men
to express their preferences for particu-
lar gentlemen, previous to the action of
the Convention OF their party. 1t may
be even their right, but We very much
question the policy to employ strong Ian
guage in The advocacy of their tavortes,
but when the Convention, selected by
the party, in accordance with establish
ed usages, has met, aed after due consid
Grafton of the claims Of the respective
asprants, has designated, by majority
OF its votes the man who is 10 be the
standard bearer ofthe party, then we say
emphaticaIly it is the duty,-the imPer-
alive obligation all the members of
the party to fall into rank at once, I'M
hesi'atat'ngly and unqualifed|y,' and
unite, heart and soul, in support Of the
nominee, and 10 rest not until he-is tri-
umphantly elected. The moment the
Convention decides, that very moment
all preferences, prejudices and private
feelings. should yield TO a determination
to do battle, cordially and zealously, in
behalf of the successful aspirant.
We trust the Wings OF Maryland will
act upon these principles in the present
campaign. We hope we shall hnd them
