and upon the decision Of that august assem-
bly,. in which will be embodied the wisdom.
intelligence. and talent Of the Wing party Of
the State, the most momentous results de-
pend. Into its hands win have been COM
mitted the great interests Of the party. Tri-
umphat success or disastrous defeat may
be the result Of its deliberations. May the
the spirit of wisdom and true patriotism pre-
side over and direct its counselsl May un-
ion. harmony and Cancellation pervade every
breast and animate every heart-and may

the many great and good men il our ranks,
who have paramount claims on orr safrages.

That the Convention will put forth men,
the mere mention Of whose names viii carry
terror and dismay to tie hearts Of the enc
