er the nominations Of President and Vice
President, made by the Wing National Con-
ventlon, at Baltimore, on the 22d day of
June last, DO take this occasion to proclaim
to our fellow Wings cf Missouri and of the
CnIon. our opinions and our purposes.
l. We declare that the nominations of
Mai. Gen. WHITFIELD Scorr, of New Jer-
sey, for the office Of President, and of VIII
LIAM y GRAHAM, Of North Carolina, for the
office Of Vice President, are nominations
fairly made, upon full representation Of
the Wing party OF every State of the Union.
and as such binding in honor on every Wing
IN every State, that gave his sanction TO the
holding OF National Convention. The
obligation TO support the nominees was i'm
pled on the part of all Wings who sent dele
gates 10 the Wing National Convention; and
the Wings Of st. Louis will never violate an
honest ? ge, whether expressed or i'm
Piled. Never, never.
2. We, the wings of St. Lous, declare
tllat the nominations of WINrIELD Scorr
and WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, are nominations
worthily bestowed On two Of the most ,elni-
nent citizens of the Republic; on men who
have respectively illustrated by blood on the
battle field, and by wisdom and prudence in
the Councils of State, their great ability and
their pure and exalted patriotism. We call
upon the young men OF the land TO consider
and mark the contrast between the Whig
ana the Democratic parties in the bestowal
OF their honors. The whig party giving re-
ward to genius, and illustrous service,
while the democracy make eninence the tar
get for political destruction, and put talents
and genius, and illustriou> service. beneath
medlocrlty and obscurity itself, in the lottery
OF their political conventions
| 3. We, the wings Of st. Louis, do declare
that Mlllard Fillmore, aided BY Daniel Web
ster, the giant mind of America, has con-
Quoted the National administration to the
admiration of all patriots at home, and in a
manner that has commanded the respect of
foreign nations. The principles on which
Mr.. Fillmore has conducted the government
nave been and are impregnable to every as
sauIt They are this day triumphant over
all opposition. lind they are the principles of
the Wing party. Milard Fillmor's admin
lstration succeeded because he was an hon
est man and administered the Government on
whg principles. John Tyler's administra-
ton failed because he was a traitor and de-
lIvered the Government into the hands OF
our political opponents.

that the principles on which the wing par
ty, under the guidance of Millard Fillmore.
and Daniel Webster, have conducted the
government, are the principles embodied in
the Nhg National Platform put forth at
Baltimore. They look TO the preservation
of our glorious Union by the upholding Of
the Compromise in all lis parts-they look
TO the indsDeddence of our country by fair
protection 10 American labor-they look TO
the prosperity OF the West as we'll as the
North, East and South, by the performance
Of great National works on Western rivers
and harbors, TO protect Western commerce,
and develope the resources OF the long neg
lected West.
/ .. We, the wings Of St. Louis. DO declare
! that our candidates have ever supported the
compromise measures above any Just cause
OF suspicion or reproach, and advocated bene-
ticent and liberal measures in regard TO in
ternai improvements and protection TO Amer
lean labor-and have now, in accepting their
nominations, pledged their honor anew-to
maintain all the principles ofthe whig party,
as set forth in the wing platform.
Looking, therefore, 10 the fairness of the
wing nominations, to the private worth. the
high talents, and the great public services
OF the nominees. and the iuestimable value
10 the Union Of the principles of the whig
party, now in the ascendant. and which our
candidates are pledged to maintain. We do
declare, that we are bound by the instincts
OF honor, by admiration OF the exalted char

oates, and by the strong obligations Of pa
'rlotlsm to perpeluate whig principles by
