the country in which We live, aud will in
volvc principles which lie at the founda-

lie; and whereas we are thoroughly con-
vinced and assured that the measures and
principles of Government as held and
maintained by the Wing Party are calcu-
lated to ensure peace and prosperity at
home, and honor and respect abroad ;
therefore, VIC the Wings of Union County,
in convention assembled do
Resolve, that we adhere with frmness
and constancy to the old landmarks that
have distinguished our party from modern
Democracy, which knows no settled creed
but the popular-ism or humbug of the
hour.
Resolved, that we are as ever in favor
of granting protection to the great Manu-
featuring and Agricultural interests Of the
country, and that We will support no can
didate who is in favor of the destructive
doctrines Of free trade.
Resolved, that the Administration of
President FILLMORE deserves our warm
est thanks for the able manner in which it
has administered the government and the
fidelity with which it has adhered to the
great principles of the Wing creed.
Resolved, that we cordially and gladly
respond to the action Of our Wing State
Convention in instrHcting our delegates to
the Wing National Convention, to support
the nomination Of Gen. WINFIELD
SCOTT as the Wing candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States.
Resolved, that in Gen. Scott, we behold
the victorious Hero-the wise and saga
cious Statesman-and the pure aud lofty
Patriot, whose character and services chal-
lsnge the admiration and gratitude Of the
American people, and sminently qualify
him for, and entitle him to, the highest
Office in their gift.
Resolved, that in JACOB HOFFMAN,
Esq, our candidate for Canal Commits
sioner, We have man in every respect
worthy of our confidence and support for
the important Office for which he has been
nominated, and that in our opinion, it is
only BY electing such men who are honest
and capable, for Canal Commissioners, that
we can secure economy and reform in the
of our Public Works, and
prevent the peoples hard earned Taxes
from being squandersd and lavished upon
the cormorants who have infested the pub
lie Improvements of the State.
On motion, the above preamble and
resolutions We're unanimously adopted.
