MEssRs. EDITORS: There is something SO just
in the enclosed resolutions, passed at a conyen-
ton held on Wednesday last, composed of dele
gates from Cincinnati and Hamilton county, that
should like to see them in print. Fearing that
the editors of the other city papers may, as usual
overlook them, | ask the favor of having them in
serted in the Telegraph as
The VOICE OF ONO.
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1852.
Resolp1, That the Wings of Hamilton county
and the city of Cincinnati, in convention assem-
bled, adhere to the principles and policy of the
Wing party, in which we recognise as prominent
faithful adherence to the constitution and
aws-a fair encouragement of American indus
try-a sound CURRENCY liberal support of in
ternal improvepents-a friendly regard to the
cause of educahQn--and the maintenance of the
| American honor and interests on the land and
| on the ocean.
! Resolved That we think the time has come
when the. great inland commerce and navigation
of the western rivers and lakes imperatively de-
mand the care and regard of the government
and that while foreign trade is protected by arms
and aided by law, the interior trade of the CONT
nent, so much greater in value, and so much
more important in fact, ought to be the subject
of positive and beneficial legislation.
ResolUed, That, in support of these principles,
and in confident hope of their adoption, we NOM
mate Winfield Scott for the Presidency-a man
whom study fitted for civilian, and whom pa
triotism made n soldier whose victories have
made him renowned whose conduct has adorned
humanity and whose character is without fear
and without reproach.
ResolUed, That We recommend him for the
performance of duty in peace as well as achieve
ment in war. While the plains of Chippewa are
made memorable by his glorious battle, and
Lundy's Lane, like the sublime cataract by its
side, goes up in loud renown, we behold the same
victorious General amidst the same scenes, pac-
floating the troubles of the northern frontier, and
securing peace without furnishing honor. Pass
ing on to the West amidst the arrows of pest-
ence, we find him n minsterng friend at the
bedside Of sick and dying soldiers. We see him
again at the head of armies in Florida we also
see him removing the Cherokees with tender
ness and care which EFFORTS the praise of the
benevolent; and negotiating on the Maine boun-
Diary with an ability and discretion which com
manded the respect of diplomatists.
In all the eventfnl scenes Of the Mexican war
we behold the same admirable traits of character,
ability in action, humanity in conduct, success
| in results. From the preparation of the cam
paign to the surrender Of the famed castle of San
Juan d'Ulloa-from the bloody heights of Cerro
| Gordo to the terrible fight Of Churubusco-from
the storm of Chepultepec to his brilliant entrance
| on the plaza of Mexico-we behold him alive to
MI the duties of peace, rs well prepared for
| all the issues of war-respectfu to the rights OF
| propertv and religion-obedient TO the smallest
command of law and yielding to the slightest
dictate of humanity. At last, amid glories which
seldom crowned a conqueror, we behold him sub
| iected to the contumely of n trial-returning
under the frown of the Executive, but amid the
applause of his countrymen, to the daily duties
Of a useful, peaceful and honorable life.
Resolued, That the services of Winfield Scott,
reuderedin war and peace, in the field and coun-
Gil were performed for the nation, without re-
gard to section, Sect party, and have conferred
an irrevocable nationality on his character and
deeds
Resolved, That such character demands not
merely admiration, but confidence; and that from
the man who never lost battle, nor ever failed
| in duty, we require no new test Of fidelity, and
no fresh pledge of patriotism
| ResolUed, That we desire the union of the
Wings for the sake Of the Union; and that we
look upon our country q common possession,
our glory rs n common patrimony, and our mu-
tual interests as common grounds of peace and
hope. -.
Resoired, That, we repeat. our first choice of a
candidate for the Presidency is zen. Nlnheld
Scott and whilst we express our hxed determ-
nation to support ardenty the nominee of the
National Wing Convention, we most earnestly
urge upon our Wing friends in other States the
support of Gen Scott for that nomination, and
hereby instruct the delegates to the National
Convention to be elected by this convention to
cast their votes for him.
Resolved That in the opinion of this conyen-
ton the great and rapidly increasing importance
of the West and the facility of access to Cincin-
natl from all parts of the Union-its rank and
position rs the centre of our country and popula-
ton, present sufficient reasons for holding the
National Wing Convention in the Queen City of
the West, and we assure the delegates cordial
welcome
