WILLARD FILLMORE
To the Presidency of the United Stat

10 the Presidency OF the OnlCeu OCateS.
The present crisis in the affairs of our be-
l. loved country demands prompt and energetic
action on the part of all conservative Old Line
Wings. In the present condition of parties,
they possess the power to overthrow fanatl-
cism ; and we invite them to come forth in
their might and their strength, as on the occa-
sion of the great outpouring of the Wings of
the Union on the 4th Of May. 1910, and join
us in efforts for the restoration of peace, har-
mony and good will between all sections of
eur common country. The direct and imme-
date action of the people was never so fully
developed as on that memorable occasion in
connection with the political affairs of the
country. The Wings of the Union then met
to concert measures and to unite their strength
to reform the Government to place a man in
| the administration whose honesty and we'll
| tried integrity, whose patriotism and national
character, were the chief qualities that drew
towards him the confidence and attachment of
his countrymen. The crisis that now de-
mands their re-assemblage IN mass convention
is one vastly more pressing and Important
he Uraics1 is strainillg her taSteningS," and
calls upon all patriotic citizens to come to her
rescue--to throw aside partisan bias and po-
litical ties, and to stand firm in the support OF
that candidate whose answering nationality
can enable him to bid the waves Of faction
cease, and to harmonic the political elements
that have, by mal-adminiStration, been dashed
into fury that threatens wreck and dissolu-
| ton.
In the Hon. Willard Fillmore, the Old Line
Wings Of Baltimore recognize one from whose
anteeedents the country expect, in full secur-
~, truly National Administration-frln
moderate and tranquil--an Administration
equal and impartial to the North and to the
South, regardless of all sectional iSsues--a
Union man with national principles, whose
conservative character and views are calculated
to allav the sectional strife that now threatens
the stability of the Union, by compromise,
concession and a purpose single to the welfare,
the harmony, and prosperity of the whole
country. We have full warrant of this by the
acts of his Administration, and have more di-
rect assurance of it by his recent declaration,
on landing at New York, when he emphalical y
proclaimed to his countrymen--
"If there be those North or South, a0Ao desire
an Administration for the North as against the
South, or for the South as against the North,
they are not the men oobO should gjUe their Sut-
iffrages for me. For say oaon part. k1Oa0 only
mig country nay aohOle country, and nothing but
my country"
We, therefore, invite you to come to us with
! your tens, your hundreds, AMI your thousands !
Ample room have we for you in our hearts and
homes-the warmest welcome, public and
private, of Baltimoreans, awaits you at the
Convention to swell the voice of public opn-
ion in favor of our answering National cand:-
date the Hon. Willard Fillmore, of New York.
We wish to see the constituents here with their
Delegates, to join in an enthusiastic ratifica-
ton of the nomination of the Convention and
in the name of the citizens of Baltimore, who
50 nobly threw open their doors to the Wings
of 1910, we promise you a hearty welcome
and a cordial greeting.
