The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-06-12
From the Savannah Republican, June 4.
National vyhtQ Convention.

Our ndvices from the interior lead US to believe
that some twenty counties were represent
cd in convention yesterday, to appoint delegates
to the Wing National Convention in Baltimore.
Whatever may have been the precise tenor OF
the resolutions passed yesterday at the Milledge-
vile meeting, we cannot doubt that among thtni
will lie found reafi rmance of the action Of tho
Union Convention Of 1850, and also determine
ton not to support the nominee Of the Wing Ma
tional Convention unless that convention shall
equivocally and fully endorse the Compromise
Fugitive Slave law, and all. 1t will be recoected
that the delegates Of the Constitutional Union par
ty in April last resolved unanimously that they
would not support any candidate for the Presden-
cy uness nominated, and we will not permit
ourselves 10 doubt that the Union Wings yes
terdny adhered TO that determination.
Our high appreciation of the administration Of
Mr. FILLMORE, and our admiration Of the patriotic
course of Mr.. WEBsTsR. matters well known
To our readers; but. with US, the adoption of tho
Compromise In sincerity and truth is dcarer than
any man or any party. Unless the National Wing
Convention shall endorse the Compromise in the
spirit in which the same seems to have been met
by the National Democracy, the nominee need not
expect the vote Of Georgia-even if he shall prove
to be ono Of the distinguished Statesmen to whom
| We have referred.
Y,
that the late Democratic Convention at Baltimore
sustained the Compromise, and we ehal be doubly
glad to know that it did so without hesitation and
with unanimity. What influence the Constitu-
tonal Union men OF Georgia. both in our State and
at Baltimore, had in producing that result, will not
be forgotten by the people Of this State more es-
pecally will it DC recollected by the Mountain
Union Democracy. For the present il 10 enough
to say, that the action OF the Union men OF Geor-
ga has been recognised to it's fullest extent by one
Of the great national parties.
1t rsmains to be what the Wing Convention
will do. We have not failed to express our fears.
Of the soundness Of the Northern Wing party on
tho great subject which vitality concerns the
South. We still fear that it il not sound enough
TO follow the good example of the Democracy in
this particular. II, contrary to our expectation,
the National Wing Convention shall come up to
the mark Of the Union men of Georgia, then will
the Constitutional Union party Of Georgia have ac-
compshed what no other party has been able to
accomplish. II will have given peace to the Union,
and stability to southern rights and property. In
vain will the late Southern Rights party of Geor-
gn claim the action of the Baltimore Convention
a. the fruit Of their efforts or of their policy They
went against the Compromise in Georgia, and
blinked the question when they sent delegates to
Baltimore. though it seems that they Com
promise men.
We now await the action of the National Wing
Convention, and then the assembling Of the con-
templated convention OF the Constitutional Union
party Of Georgia, to consider the Presidential
question. The action OF this latter body is FORE
Swallowed. If the Wings place themselves in
good position on the Compromise as the Democrats
have done, the great work of the Constitutional
party will have been done. The party dis
solve with feelings of pride and gratitude, and
leave its constituent parts to 60 where old afinities
or present judgment may lead Otherwise, the
Union party will, We cannot doubt, resolve to cast
their vote for the nominees of the Democracy.
Georgia WILL in that event, be a unit the Com
promise, but her patriotic will never cease to
remember the men and the party who have brought
these mighty things to pass.
Let the Wing Convention be warned in time!
