WHEREAS, The time is not far distant
when we shall again be called on to cxer-
else one of the highest prerogativcs Of citi-
zens of free country-that Of choosing a
President and Vice President Of the United
States, and of casting our sunragcs for
candidates TO fill the various State Offices at
the approaching general election: and
whereas, further, in reviewing the past
history of the country, for a period Of near
ly half century, we look with pride and
satisfaction upon the conduct of the great
National Wing party, believing the princ;.
pies and policy by which it has even been
guided, to be emincntly conservative and
truly patriotic, embracing those great mea-
surcs of right, justice and public policy
which are, in our opinion, in high degree
calculated not only to advance the prosper
ity Of our common country, but to allay the
unhappy strifes and differences which un-
fortunately exist between the two great scc-
tions Of the country, and to preserve unim-
paired and uniniured, to all future genera
tions, the constitution, the rights of the
States and the Union Of the States; there
fore, resolved:
l. That we do most sincerely ana ear
nestIy recommend to the Wing party to pre-
serve their ancient organization in NIissou-
ri, and eXhort them to continue to DO battle
for those time-honored principles which
have SO often led them to victory.
2. That we invoke the Wings Of the
State Of Missouri, and Of the whole Union
to rally once more upon the broad princi-
pies OF the Constitution and The Union, and
not to trample under foot and discard the
, old landmarks established by the wisest and
best men Of the Republic.
3. That the National Wing Party is not
dead but still liveth, and that in the coming
contest for President and Vice President OF
the United States, we will show ourselves
; worthy of the best days of the Republic
: and that, though often defeated we are no;
conquered.
L. That we still adhere, with firm and
devoted attachment, to the principles and
policy of tbs Wing party, as set forth in the
, platforms laid down by the various Whic
National Conventions, and our own State
, Conventions, and particularly the Wing Ma
tional Convention held at Baltimore in 1852
, 5. That we have seen with the profound
+ est regret the detection of large portion Of
, the Wing party in several Of the States OF
? this Union, and earnestly desire 10 see them
return and fall into line with that patriotic
, party whose text book is the constitution,
and upon whose flag is displayed the stars
and stripes and the Union.
6. That we recommend to the Wing par-
ty the propriety of holding a State Conven-
, ton at St. Louis on the second Monday ol
April, 1856, for The purpose of appointing
delegates 10 the National Wing Convention tc
/ nominate candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States, and to nom-
mate candidates for Governor, Lieutenant
2 Governor, and other State officers, and tc
5 deliberate upon such matters as may be Of
a interest to the Wing party.
