Invitation from the Wings OF Baltimore
to the wings OF the Union.

To the Wigs Of the Union.
The undersigned have been directed by the
Wing City Convention of Baltimore to solicit the
attendance of their fellow-Whigs from all parts
of the Union at the meeting Of the National
Convention, on the 18th June.
The invitation which they are instructed to
extend is on behalf, not only of those whom they
Immediately represent, but of the body Of the
Wings of Maryland. On memorable occasions
heretofore our fellow-Whigs have honored us by
assembling here in council. We are not aware
that any have had cause to tax US with the lack
of cordial welcome
If kindly intercourse and the interchange Of
opinions and good offices have contributed on for
occasions to strengthen the bonds of good fell
lowship, such consequences, more than ever, must
follow from them now. The thought thatthe Union
has been in danger must make the feeling of broth
erhood more warm when brethren of all sections,
in the name of the Union, are met to consult for
its continued preservation.
Let our fellow-Whigs, then, from all quarters,
bring themselves among US. Let their delegations
be numerous enthusiastic, and confident. The
inspiration of their presence will give the vgor of
triumph to the first blow of the fight.

"The Issue efore tho Country"

The Southern Press of yesterday morning says I;
!" Under this caption the Union of Tuesday
publishes an editorial in which the confession is
frankly made that the great living issue now be-
fore the country is the slavery question. This
great truth, which we have so long been reviled
and denounced for openly proclaiming, is now
admitted at the eleventh hour by the chief of our
defamers and assaants, and the hypocrisy which
SO long coaked and concealed it now stands
stripped and naked to the eyes of all men,"
We will leave our Democratic friends to raise
discuss, and to decide this issue, recognising no
sectional issues ourselves. The slavery question
is only one of time--the foreign and domestic
policy of the government is of permanent lmpor-
lance. We wish to look to them.
