Just hear how the wind blows now:
viii the wing party, under existing cir-
cumstances, shroud honest convictions OF
public duty in silence, that our candidate
for the proudest honor on earth, may have
his opinions interpreted variousIy, TO suit
the changing predjudices or prepossessions
Of particular latitudes? Fellow-whigs, such
policy will not, should not succeed. II is
unworthy Of great party whose senti-
ments are conservative, and whose aim is
the prosperity and happiness OF the people

dant sectional factions; the ballot-box TO n
receptacle OF votes obtained by fraud upon
one or the other Of the sections Of the Uni
ted States; and the Presidential election to
a trial ofchicanory and dissimulation among
political mountebanks. We do not seek to
make an injurious ascription Of motive to
any man or association OF men, but we repn-
diate and refuse, for our part, now and here
after. to lend our support to any candidate
whose principles are not plainly defined or
to Join in any crusade against popular rights

wing temporary political triumph"
