The WING Convention.

ton TO our Wing friends throughout the
C Commonwealth. The unanimity, the dis
erection, and the cordial zeal that animated
and characterized the Convention, COM
posed. as it was. of delegates from nearly
every section of the State. is the best evil
dcncc of the hcalthful condition of the Wing
party in Virginia, and no uncertain guaran
tee of its success. Assurances from many
quarters as to the increasing strength Of
the party and the popularity of the various
nominees. we've given with the most ami
mating and cheering effect.
One ofthe most agreeable features of the
Convention was the.number of young men
who were present-full of ardor, ofhope,
and of promise-prescnting new clement
of strength to the party, and adding gal
lantrelief-forcc to the corps fits champions.
These young men will be heard of in the
canvass,andif they keep the promise ofthcir
youth will, some of them, be recognised
hereafter in contests on broader fields with
higher stakes. 1t has always been the pol
icy Of the opposition party to encourage
and cherish Its young men-we are glad
that the Wings. by the important appoint
ments they have given to so many of them,
have adopted "A similar policy.
The resolutions of the Convention arc
such as the party had right to expect,
from its representatives. and can have no
difficulty in approving. They render the
need fwell deserved praise to the Illus
trious statesman now at the head of the
Government-indicatc in no ambiguous
terms tie preference of the Wings of Vir-
einia for Millard Fillmore for the next
Presidency, and vindicatc them from the
misrepresentation which have been made
oftheir views in regard to popular power
and Southern Rights:
