The Wings OF the Union-Compromise Q,
Cancellation, and the Prospect.

The Wings of the Union will enter upon the
campaign of 1852 with high hopes and buoyant
pectations. The nomination of candidates for the
Presidency and the Vice Presidency will be made
in less than month from the present time, and
the nominees of the National Convention will re-
ceiye cordial, hearty, and enthusiastic support.
OF this there cannot be doubt. The signs of the
times are propitious. The canvass ID conducted
with animation and activity; but in frank, man
y, and honorable spirit. The three distinguished
men who have been named for the high honor have
Jealous and devoted friends. who will exert them
selves to the utmost But all these individuals,
whether for FlLLMoRs, for ScoTT, or for WEBSTER,
WILL the moment that the National Convention
shall, after frank interchange of sentiment and
a manly comparison of views, determine upon the
banner bearer of the party, yield their personal
preferences, and unite with their brethren every
where throughout the country in vigorous effort
10 secure the triumph OF the and its princi-
Piles. The Wing party is the great conservative
party Of the nation. 1t ia regarded by the wise
and the good, from extremity of the land
to the other. Its policy is at pacific, patri-
otto, and national. This has been fully illustrated
during the existence OF the present Administration.
The honor of the country has been sustained, its
prosperity has been promoted It's character has
been elevated, while the bonds of the Union have
present moment in the national horizon. The
storm of disunon which threatened has passed
away, the cry of secession has been hushed, and
even the temper of South Carolina has become
comparatively mild and fraternal. The present is
calm and tranquil, and the future is rich in the
promises Of progress and power. All this, too
under a Wing National Administration. How
important, then, that the same policy should be
continued The citizens Of all parties who wish
well to the country should ponder these things.
and act accordingly 1t should be remember
ed, moreover, that many difficult questions
have been agitated during the last three
years-quesions not only affecting our domestic
but our foreign relations. The expeditions
of Lopez, the misunderstanding with Spain, the
capture Of Mr.. Thrasher, the revolution on the
Rio Grande, the imbroglio with the Austrian
charge, the coup d'efat in France, the Mica
ragua controversy, and the execution Of the Com
promise measures, may be pointed to by way of
illustration. A master mind, mind at the same
time dgnifed aud conservative. independent and
pacific has been visible in all these intricate affairs
and thus, while the American name and the Anne
rican character have been fully and nobly main
tanned, a tone at once just and magnanimous
towards other nations has on all occasions been
manifested. AS Wings, as Republicans, as Anne.
Administration. 1t has justfied the warmest ex.
pectations Of its friends it has exorted admiration
and eulogy from Its opponents. Its policy, from
fret to last, has been enlightened and liberal,
national and pure. The country has prospered
under its influence, the Union has been strength
ened, and the various sections have been bound
together in firmer and kindlier spirit. 1t
IL therefore that we hope to zee this policy
continued. But how shall this be accom-.
pshed Simply by thorough union of all
the Wings of the land, OF all the conserva-
tives of the land, in favor of the nominees OF
the great convention that will assemble in the
city of Baltimore the sixteenth of June. The
names before that convention will be those of good
men and true-such names MILLARp FILLMORE,
WsFirLp SoorT, DANIEL WEBSTER, w. A. Ora
HAM. JOHN J. CRITTESDEs, J. &. JONES, and JOHN
BsLL-men who have already rendered invaluable
services to the country, who have occupied high
stations, and who never failed or faltered in the
discharge of trust oonfided to them. The array
is truly glorious 1t embodies many of the
noblest qualities that adorn and dignity human ma
turc. Why, therefore, should there be doubt as
to the thorough Union of the Wing party, with
reference to the great contest of 1852? There is
not there cannot be, in any intelligent and unpre
JUDGED mind. All will be found earnestly and
cordially cooperating together at the proper mo.
ment, and with such cooperation a signal victory
will be comparatively easy. To show the spirit
which pervades our ranks invite attention to the
following resolutions, as recently adopted al Buffalo
and by convention that selected Fillmore dele
gate TO the National Convention. 1t will be seen
that General Scott and Mr.. Webster ere alluded to
in terms of just culogium:
"Ihat the Wing party is n national organiza-
ton, having for it's aim and object ither the .lc-
a
merely sectional purposes. IL the Consti-
tuition, and refers to its arbirament every question
OF public policy. IL acknowledges the supremacy
OF law, and recognises in the Government pow
erful agent for public good, and invokes its bene
cent action upon every interest OF commerce and
labor.
"Resoired, That we fully approve the entire po-
licy Of the present National Administration. That
we especially approve it's position and action upon
the series Of measures known as the Compromise
measures, and believe they should be adhered TO
by the country for the sake of its union and har-
mony, until, in the language of the Presidents
message, slime and experience shall demonstrate
the necessity Of further Legislation guard against
evasion or abuse
"R6Solued, That in the three distinguished Wings
urged by their respective friends for the Office Of
Precedent, We recognise names long Cherished by
the Wing party. The one, IA n military leader

glory for his country. We know him 10 be patn.

Let this liberal spirit everywhere prevail, and
