The nationality of the Wing party and the per-
petuity of the Union depend upon the good faith
to be exercised by the Wings, North and South,
IN keeping the covenant they entered into at the
Baltimore Convention. \ platform of principles
and q programme of action were laid down which
received the almost unanimous vote of the Con-
vention. That the South might be satisfied, upon
the question of the Compromise resolution
especially, Southern delegates, either by agree
ment or voluntarily, draughted the resolutions
composing the platform, which they presented to
the Convention; and, with few slight verbal
alterations, they were accepted by that body.
1t so happened that the candidate selected for
the Presidential Office was the choice Of major
ity of the Northern delegates
That candidate accepted the nomination, and
has endorsed the platform.
Now, the question remaining is, Will both Sec
tions of the country sustain the action of the
Convention? Northern Wings have promised an
adherence to the principles laid down in the
platform; Southern Wings have promised the
same, and that they would heartily respond to
the nomination. Neither section of the party has
any right to presume bad faith on the part of
the other until there is positive proof of its ex-
istence. There should be no such suspicion but
each should fulfil the covenant Still it is neces-
sary that the question of good faith be settled a,
once. There can be no cooperation without it.
There should be no mental reservations on the
one hand, and, on the other there should be no
sham-work, no lukewarm support Of the candi-
date. The actions of men are the only test of
their sincerity; and the Wings North and South
must at once prove to the country and to one
another where they stand.
The Wing party is the great conservative party
Of the country. Itmust Of necessity be ma tional
in its character. There must be honesty and
fair-dealing in its action or that nationality can
notbemaintained. Ithas just passed through Sc
we're and fiery ordeal; and it has not only come out
unscathed, but frightened and purified. Shall it
maintain its high and proud position, or shall it
forget the trials Of the past, the glories of the
present, and the promises of the future, and rush
headlong to ruin? This question must now be
met. Itcan neither be lodged nor evaded. Our
national existence depends upon the answer.
There is every incentive for each section to be
true. A glorious victory is within our grasp
the principles for which we have fought so long
and SO earnestly will be sustained the integrity
and perpetuity of the Union will be secured; and
man, national in character national in feeling,
but Of worldwide renown, will be elevated to the
Presidential chair, if we only do our duty.
We will not permit ourselves to doubt the pa
triotism of either section of the country, or the
result Of the issue.
