The Wing Party-A New Paper Mt Buffalo.
"ROUGH N0TEs" is the title of sprighlly
and neat-looking daily newspaper just started
in Buffalo, New York, edited by M. CADwAL
LADER and published by GEORGE REESE s.
Co. From its salutatory we copy the follow
ing spirited remarks:
In our view, the Wing party was not organized
for mere sectional purposes, or simply to promul-
| gate the peculiar dogmas of this that knot Of
theorists, having but single idea to characterize
| their ethics On the contrary, believe il to
have been formed for the important object of
| maturing and carrying out great national mea-
sures. upon which hinged all the best interests Of
| the country, and in the furtherance of which all
classes OF our citizens could unite heart and hand
| in whatever section of the Union they might re-
side, or whatever might be their views in reference
to matters of purely domestic nature. In
short, that it is eminehtIy a party that reveres
| the Constitution, honors the laws, respects the
rights of man, that seeks by just exercise
| Of the powers of Government to foster the beat
| interests Of the greatest number of the peo-
| pie, that is not confined to geographical lines
| in the conception of what ought to be done to
promote the public veal, and ia just conservative
and patriotic in oil its principles and aims These
in our opinion, constitute the general character
| istics of our political brotherhood; and thus be-
| lieving, We shall deem it to be our duty, ut all
times and on all proper occasions, firmly to resist
| every attempt, in whatsoever quarter it may be
made to jostle the party from this its high national
and conservative position, and to it's power and
energies for the accomplishment of mere sectional
objects, or for the advancement of individual in
terests and the qualification Of personal ambition
We trust that we may not on any occasion be
called upon to censure the acts, call in question
the motives, of any individual now connected
with party, that might injuriously affect its in
tegrity; but should such a necessity arise, we
shall strive fully to discharge all duty in the
premises.
In reference to the Presidential question ques.
ton which will soon enter largely into the party
disquisitions Of the day-we have no disguises to
assume, and can therefore express our views with
out fear of msconstruction. Had we q voice DO
tential in the selection of candidate, and could
we enforce our decision at the polls, We know not
that, under existing circumstances, should
place in nomination for the Presidency either Of
the eminent citizens now named in connection with
the office. But as we occupy but limited space
in the great mass who are to pass upon the matter,
and particular wishes might not be those of
any considerable number Of political associates
and further, as we have no personal or sectional
projects to subserve in the premises but look only
to the great interests of the country and the integ-
rity OF the party we can and will yield a hearty
support to any pure minded, upright, conserva-
tive, and competent citizen, who may be fairly
nominated by the Wing National Convention.
w hat we chiefly desire ia the success OF the Wing
candidate, whoever he may be, believing that tho
prosperity and happiness of the Union would be
greatly promoted thereby, and that every great
interest of the Republic would be more efcctually
and safely provided for by continuing the reins Of
Government in Wing hands than by entrusting
them to the unrcgulated guidance of our political
adversaries
But in looking calmly and without prejudice
over the whole field it is present cd to u.s.
satisfied that our chances Of success would
be greatly increased by the nomination of Mr..
FILLMORE. This conclusion we arrive at not uu >
der the influence Of personal partsanship, but after
fair and deliberate examination OF the counter
opinions that are promulgated by those who prefer
others. who may have personal reasons for wish
ing him to be set aside by the convention, and in
the face, also, Of the keen luminosity with which,
regret to add, he is nssailed by a few presses
in this State. Ginning to be organs of the Wing
party. Legitimately entertaining these views,
therefore, cannot but with that Mr. Fillmore
may be named ms the candidate of the party;
and not only this. but that every whig, who
has the true interests Of the country at heart
will, in such a contingency, at once lay aside
his personal predictions for others, or as IL
may be his prejudccs and heart burnings and
give united and vigorous support to the nomi-
nations. In the present unharmonious condition
of the opposing party, all that is needed to
the success Of the Wings, at the approaching cleo
ton, is union, union; and that unity of action
we trust and pray, may be bad, whosocvcr may
be the choice Of the convention. We at least are
prepared to take our part earnestly in the contest
against the common foe, if but wisdom and good
faith govern those who may have a controlling
voice in the selection OF a candidate. We have not
a single desire, in reference to the Presidency that
We cannot oheerfuly give up for the sake of peace
and harmony in our ranks. Our first great desire
is, the continued aecendcncy Of Wing counsels in
the administration of our public Affairs; and to in
this should be the earnest effort of all who ad
here to the party because of the soundness Of it's
principles. II matters little TO us who fills the
Presidential chair, If he be but true and single
beortcd whig.
Thus much for the political character Of our
sheet. As respects all other matters OF publie poll
ty which have heretofore met the appreciation of
the Wings as party, our views are in accordance
with those OF vast majority Of our compeers. As
formerly, 30 will we nov and hereafter continue to
urge the necessity and the justice of affording
pie protection to home industry, Of facilitating
commerce and trade by the construction of proper
harbors on the lakes as well the scaboard,
and by improving the navigation Of our rivers to a
just and reasonable extent These are matters in
reference to which all who csndidly examine them
may be OF one opinion; and on all occasions, there
fore, when word may be fifty spoken, will we
prcss upon Congress and others the duty which rests
/ A. +
| 10 not worth living under which takes care Of
the great interests of the governed; and il those
who now in position to afford all the aid TO
the prosperity Of the country that is required by
the people neglect their trust, or sacrifice the
rights Of their constituents at the shrine Of party
policy, IT should be the duty Of the press fearessy
to denouncc their trcacbery. In such reproba-
tons Of official delinquency promise to take our
| part.
