Washington telegraph., 1852-06-30
Wing National Convention,

we puUIlSn DelOW, as full ana authentic
a report of the proceedings of the Wing
National Convention, as we have been able
to gather from the latest telegraphic accounts
1t will be seen that GENERAL ScoTT, on
the SD ballot, received the nomination for
the Presidency. john j. sCR1TTENDEN, of
Kentucky, the latest published accounts
state, received the nomination for the Vice
Presidency, but report purporting to be
still later, says VIM. A. Graham is the nom
inee for Vice President. General Scott was
not our first choice for the Presidency,
common with large majority of the Wings
of the South, we preferred Mr.. Fillmore
while at the same time, we have regarded
General Scott as the strongest man in the
Wing ranks. That he is true Whig and
patriot even his opponents will not pretend
to deny, and his most intimate friends vouch
for his entire soundness on the Compromise
measures. His letter of acceptance how
ever, and more full account of the proceed
ings of the Convention will show his po-
sition on these important questions, and
as we have contended that the nominee, to
obtain our support, should occupy an une-
quivocal position on this point, we shall not
commit ourselves until we are fully satisfied,
that in relation to the Compromise, he is, what
he is represented to be, It's firm advocate
and supporter.
The Convention met on the 18th, and or
ganized by electing Gen John g. Chap
man as President, and adopted the follow
ing Compromise resolution, as forming a
portion of the Wing platform, and also res
olutions defining the powers of the general
Government opposing Intervention, and in
favor of strict economy and revenue tariff
ResO1red, That the series of measures,
commonly known as the Compromise in
cluding the Fugitive Slave law, are received
and acquiesced in by the Whig party of the
United States, as settlement in principal
and substance, and as final settlement of
the dangerous and exciting questions which
they embrace.
That so far as the Fugitive Slave law is
concerned, we will maintain the same. and
insist on its strict enforcement, until time
and experience shall demonstrate the neces-
sity of further legislation, to guard against
its evasion or abuse, and to prevent its pre-
sent efficiency from being impaired That
We deprecate all further agitation of the
Slavery question, as dangerous to our peace,
and will dicountenance all efforts toward
the renewal or continuance of such agitation
in Congress or out Of it, whenever, where
ever, and however the attempts may be
made
That we will maintain this system of mea-
sures as policy essential to the nationality
of the whig party, and to the integrity Of
the Union
