4 The Wings of the Union will enter upon
the campaign Of 1852 with high hopes and
buoya nj expectations. The nomination OF
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency will be made in less than a
month from the present time, and The nomi-
nees Of the National Convection VIII re-
: ceiye cordial, hearty, and enthusiastic
support. Of this there cannot be doubt.
The signs Of the tines are propitious.-
The canvass is conducted with animation
and activity; but in frank, manly. and
honorable spirit. The three distinguished
mon who have been named for the high
honor have zeaIous and deyoted friends,
who will exert themselves 10 the utmost
But all these individuals, whether for FILL
MORE, for ScoTT, or for WEBSTER, will, the
moment that the National Convention
shall, after frank interchange of senti-
ment, and manly comparison Of views,
determine upon the banner-hearer OF the
party, yield their personal preferences,
and unite with their brethren everywhere
Throughout the country in vigorous effort
to secure the triumph Of the cause and 'ts
principles. The Wing party is thu great
conservative party Of the nation. i is 20
regarded BY the wise and the good, from
one extremity ofihe land to the other. IL
policy is at once pacific, patriotic, and ma
tional This has been fully illustrated
during the existence ofthe present Admin
tistraiion. The honor Ct the country has
been sustained, its prosperity has been
promoted, its character has been elevated,
while the bonds Of the Union have been
strengthened There is not cloud at the
present moment in the national horizon.--
The storm Of dsunion which threatened
has passed away, the cry Of secession has
been hushed and even the temper Of South
Carolina has become comparatively mild
and fraternaI The present is calm and
tranquil, and the future is rich in the pro-
misses Of progress and power. All this,
too, under Whig National Administration.
How important, then, that the same policy
should be continued. The citizens OF all
Ipar,es who wish well TO the country
should ponder these things, and act accord
ingly II should be remembered, more
over, that many difficult questions have
been agi,ated during the last three years
questions not only affecting our domes-
tic but our foreign relations. The expedi-
ton of Lopez, the misunderstanding with
Spain, the capture Of Dir. Thrasher, the
revolution on the Rio Grande, the imbrog-
io with the Austrian charge, the coup
d'etat in France, the Nicaragua controver-
sy, and the execution Of the Compromise
measures, may be pointed TO by way Of H.
Illustration. A master-mind, mind at the
same time dignifed and conservative, in
dependent and pacific, has been visible in
all these intricate ailars; and thus, while
the American name and the American
character have been fully and nobly main
ltained, a tone at oace just and magnani-
nous towards other nations has on all oc-
casions been manifested. As Wings, ns
Republicans, as Americans, we are proud
Of the present National ADMINISTRATION
Il has justified the warmest expectations
Of its friends, it has extorted admiration
and eulogy from i,s opponents. itspolicy,
from first to last, has been enlightened and
liberal, national and pure. The country
has prospered under ito influence, the Un-
ion has been strengthened, and the various
sections have been bound together in q
frmer aud kindIier spirit. Il is therefore
we hope to see this policy continued. But
how shall this be accomplished? Simply
by thorough union Of oil the Wings OF the
land, Of all the conservatives Of the land,
i in favor Of the nominees Of the great con-
yention that will assemble in The city OF
Baltimore on the sixteenth Of June. The
| names before that convention will be those
Of good men and true--such names as MIL
LARD FILLMORE, WINFIELD ScoTT, DANIEL
WEBSTER, w. A. GRAHAM, JoHN J. CRIT-
rENDEN, ]. G. JONES, JoHN BELL--men who
have already rendered invaluable services
to the country, who hays occupied high
stations, and who never failed or faltered
in the discharge ofa trust con6ded to them.
The array is truly glorious one. II en-
bodies many Of ths nobIest qualities that
adorn and dignity human nature. Why,
therefore, should there be doubt as to the
thorough Union Of the Wing party. withre-
ference to the great contest of 1857
There is not, there cannot be. in sny in
,eligent and unprejudced mind. All will
be found earnestly and cordially co-opera-
ting together at the proper moment, and
with such cooperation signal victory will
be comparatively easy.
