| In obedience to call circulated in all quar-
! tors of the State, number of Wings OF Ken
/ tucky assembled at Lexington OIL the 18th OF
! April. 1856, to consider their duties and rcla-
I lions as citizens of the Republic, and, having
| earnestly deIiberated thercupon, now respectful
tIv erhToit their views in the subjoined Address
and Platform; and solicit the fratcrnal considera-
ton thereof by their brethren of Kentucky and
Rho Union
\ The time is now come, in our opinion, for the
reorganization of the Wing party end its reap
Dcarance on the important theatre ofpOlitical ac-
ttion. Its interposition in public affairs in our
| Judgment is duty demanded by principle and
JnstTintis,n lis members are not content to re-
main massive spectators. leaving the conduct of
nrhIie affairs under the exclusive guidance and
| EcortroI If others Such inaction would exhibit
thcm in nm attitude unworthy of their past, and
fathlcss TO themselves to their principles, and TO
their country.
The old-linc Wings, as SUCH cannot consist
emily unite with any other existing party. They
connot ioin the Democratic party, because they
do NOT Snnroyc its administrative policy. They
connot ION the American party, because they
believe its principles and spiritinvolve menace
AGAINST ttc securities of civil and religious liber
t1, and because. furthermore, that party hassys-
tsmaticallv introduced the alarming practice of
of enLorflinotinD the. judiciary to political and
marty ;nflncncc and control. They cannot Join
Tho T,cnuLlican Marty of the North because it is
