Mr. j. Benjamin having been named by Col Walton
loudly called for and he forward and made an
eloquent and stirring appeal to the patriotism enhu
sasm of the whig party AT the late hour at which we
write it is impossible for to do him justice but we give
brief sketch of his remarks
Fellow citizens meet here tonight to proclaim one
adhesion the choice made by the Baltimore Convention
of candidates for the Presidency and Presidency In
doing this let stop to inquire what mission was conf
ded to the delegates who composed that Convention and
how they discharged the duties deyolving upon them
That Convention met for the purpose
Of uniting party torn by factions rent with personal
preferences for ndydualsnot to draw from obscurity
to heal local breachesnot to carry the new fan
gled doctrine that Presidential candate to be selected
the same principle that of business selects
lawyer notary That Convention acted upon higher
princplethat of choosing man known to the country
by long life of brilliant services whose talents
and integrity stood beacon lights to his fellow citizens
For pursuing this course that Convention deserves and
will receive praise 1t not necessary to hunt
aniquaed Congressional debates and penny pamphlets
to find out who Willard Fillmore, Daniel Webster Win
field Scott Fillmore doubtless the first choice
of nearly all who present He has endeared him
self to the South by his unnchng efforts to sustain
rights He beloved by the South because he has stood
by the South and the Constitution. He has known
ambition but the good of his whole country Therefore
it that the Wing Convention of Louisiana declared
him to be the choice of the wings of the State and in
structed its delegates to vote for him in the National Con-
venon He is, elowcitizens the pure patriot and
high minded statesman that he before lie has lost
nothing by losing the nomination. and in his retirement
the blessings of millions will follow him.
Second is Daniel Webster whose gigantic intellect has
for long lifetime been devoted the interests of his
country. Although born at the North, he knows no
North no South-whose motto has ever been Liberty
and Union forever one and inseperable."
Still there is another choicea who has also given
long lifetime of service to his country. man who.
when patriotism seemed ebbing away, and despair
gathering around the minds of the people, by the
disasters consequent Hulls surrender forward
and by his military genius infused fresh rgor into citi
and soldiers and inspired the whole nation Again
at Vera Cruz and at Mexico did his valor and genius
hlazon the American arms with mperishable glory But
