II 10 for recommend any particular course
OF action the national convention We have the fules
confidence that the New York delegation appointed
Albany win represent fairly and fully their Wing breth
zen In this state aud doubtless the other delegations will
equally represent their respective constituents The
ven,on will thus embody the sentiment of all those true
mon who have vavered in their fidelity the Wing
cause and Wing principles. Believing this, have
that the national will arrive at any
other conclusion than that reached by the state
tons Of New York aud Massachusetts, viz the express
sion Of decided preference for Willard Fillmore the
distinguished for moderation. conservatism and
perenced WISDOM of the three Presidential candidates
before the people We assume that there is no in
nominate fourth candidate and that being the
case there TO be but alternative, TO give
undivided support Mr.. Fillmore. The Wings a bo-
dy be expected give united support either
of the other candidates.
We apprehend that another good effect Of the national
convention will be to rest the report ndutriousy
and pertnacousy circulated by the Republican journals
in which, by the way they manifest lack of honesty
and principle that regret see-that the Wing sup
port OF Mr. Fillmore is designed to be for
real support Of Mr. Buchanan. After free and full
pondence with lew Wings in various parts OF the
unon have yet to hear from or speak with the hrs
OF whom could find the slightest TO suspect
any such sinister purposes The Wings of the Union
mpeled action in the present contest by higher and
Eober considerations than those OF mere party. Were
there other candidates in the field than Messrs Bu
chansn and Fremont they would be driven selection
between the two, and would each for himself judge
which OF the two evils he should choose But with Mr.
Fillmore in the field aso with experience of the good
suits flowing from his former administration, aud with his
promise that the said principles will guide him II elected
election promote the of either Mr.. b.
chanan Mr.. Fremont but aid in the election of Mr.
Fillmore, in the hope of saving their country
from that unsound policy which would distinguish the Ad
minstraton of either Of the other candidates.
We appeal to our brother Wings, North and South
deaf to all the misrepresentation Of their po
ical opponents and keep only object in view-the
election OF Willard Fillmore the Presidency Above all
them against those professed friends and real
emes who would discourage them in this patriotic labor
IL really marvellous that the INSCRIPTIONS
political opponents should persist in the of the facts
in declaring that Mr.. Fillmore is doomed defeat That
has been his fortune hitherto and should be in No

friends have failed in their duty him TO their
country We do contend, of course that Mr. Fillmore
is be elected by Wing exclusively If that were
the ground which his election rested should
found advocating his support in the present crisis affairs
As national aud conservative journal should deem
solemn duty pronounce his election hopeless and to
fellow Wings against throwing away their
by casting them for him. In the present condition of the
Wing party and the country no other would be
open to and We should deem il equally duty al
wise the Wings to support that candidate of the remain
ing two whom deemed the safest pilot for the vessel Of
state in the present storm of agitation. We believe Mr.
Fillmore mmeasuraby fitted than either of his com
petitors for the office Of President but support him.
and call upon brother Wings support him. at this
uncture, because believe that If to a man they will
up his support they hold the balance of power in
sufficient force to make his election certain.
Just look at the facts Mr. Fillmore is the candidate

thing may be sad Of other states slave well free
where the American party is strong and the Wings are
not dead. Add to the American vote in New York and
elsewhere the united Wing vote, and who be simple
enough believe that Mr. Flmores prospects, in the
majority OF the states, not much promising than
Mr. Fremont's, whatever may be said OF Mr.. Buchan-
