| This body met at Harrisburg on the 25th OF
| March. We gave yesterday account of its pro-
ceedings. which were characterized by harmony
and enthusiasm.
| The resolutions adopted are excellent, aud must
command the approval OF Wings in all parts of the
Union, far they assume to state the doctrines
| ofthc Wing creed. The first declares continued
adherence to the organization, purposes. and policy
| OF the party, and appeals to Wings everywhere to
| forget past differences in common effort to
| overcome their political opponents. The second
strongly endorses a protective tariff. The third
and fourth copy:
"RtsoIoed, That the Wing party in Penney lvania
ia now, and ever has been, firmly and periodically
attached TO the Constitution of the United States
that it neither seeks desires the amendment of
that instrument. but holds all it's provisions aud
requirements to be sacred and inviolabIe.
"hesolUed. That the Wing party Of pennsylva-
MA 10 most ardenty devoted to the Union as 1t ia,
and that it regards as reasonable all attempts,
come from what quarter they may, to sunder the
national compact, or To weaken its binding force
and obligation"
Very little comfort here Tor those who pronounce
the Constitution can atrocious bar gain" The fifth
avows "thc nearly unanimous sentiment Of the
Wings of Psnnsy lvania" in favor Of nominating
"the hero. patriot, statesman, aud captain Of the
age, General WINFIELD SCOTT" for the Prcsi
dcncy.
In subsequent resolutions the delegates arc in.
vited 10 support the nomination Of General s. "as
the first choice Of the Wings Of Pennsylvania -
thanks are rendered to OK. Governor JOHNSTON for
his administration of State affairs the National
Convention is recommended to meet in Philadel-
phia on the nth Of June; and deep sorrow is ex-
pressed account of the illness of HENRY CLAY.
But the Pennsylvania Convention, although de-
claring for another their candidate, have not
failed to award the highest need of praise which
hearts can feel or language convey to the pure,
able, and patriotic citizen Mt the head of the
Government Under all the circumstances, we re-
gard the following resolution as a more distin-
gushed testimonial to President FiLLMoRE than
the expression of preference as a candidate can be
to General ScorT:
"Resoped, That the Administration of President
Fillmore deserves and receives our hearty COM
mendation for the ability and patriotism with which
1t has conducted the foreign and domestic policy of
the country coming within its reach and nfu-
encc, and that this commondation is based no less
upon the dgnifed and unfiinching manner in
which our intercourse with foreign nations has
been conducted, than upon it's wise conciliatory,
and bcneficent management of domestic affairs, the
reduction OF postage, the enforcing of the strictcst
accountability and economy Of public officers, and
in supporting the protection of home industry, and
the Improvement OF rivers and harbors Eminently
national and truly conservative we hail President
Fillmore ns bright ornament to tue w ing party
No Administration has received or could possibly
deserve higher commendatiop; and if Mr.. Fillmore
had come to the Presidency in the usual way and in
ordinary times, it would have still been an honorable
distinction. But when it is considered that all the
elements Of discord were let loose. filing the dark
ened sky with appalling portents Of revolutionary
violence, and that, in tho language of General
Scott, the battle Of the preservation Of the MON
and the Constitution" was to be fought, that Mr..
Fillmore receives, with the general acqucscence
ofthe people Of all parties, such praise the Penn
syvania Wing Convention has bestowed. lie a fact
never before parallelcd in our history. Eminent
ly national and truly conservative" must have
been the Administration-"a bright ornament to
the Wing party" is the President of whom this
be said
To the small clique in this State, who, actuated
by personal and private motives delight in assal-
ing the President, VIC commend the above express
sion from Pennsylvania. Wherever public and
patriotic considerations have control, there is but
one sentinent-that of admiration and high APP
prova-toward Mr.. Fillmore.
