In addition to adopting the necessary steps Tor =

National Whig Convention will detniuvely decide
upon ia. course the Wings of the Union should pur
sue in the present Presidential contest Judging
from, the indications Of public sentiment IN the var-

pies To the compromises of the Constitution and the
integrity of the Union, entertain no doubt rs To

cordially endorse and ratify the nomination OF Nil

and hardness of the country would be derelict in

choice between the candidates presented by the 9th
er parties. The idea of any man or party remaining
neutral in the present emergency is both traitorouS
and ridiculous grave responsibility rests upon
each aud upon all, and il should be met with frank
ness intrepidity and energy Having to choose,
then, between Fillmore and Buchanan the Wings Of
the Union will cheerfuly give their suirages the
former as the best qualified by experience,
temper and political principle to administer the
vernment wisely safely and benefcialy. Being the
only truly conservative and national candidate in
the field, and the Wings themselves being strictly
conservative and national in all their feelings and
purposes Mr. Fillmore, doubt not, will command
their cordial and energetic supper The Baltimore
Convention, therefore, will boldly declare in his IA
vor, and thus an impetus will be given to the Fill
more movement which, we sincerely trust, will
sure its triumphant success.
We cannot bat believe that after the National
Convention shall have indicated the most
proper. in their Judgment for the Wings To pursue
Ia the present canvass, true aud loyal Wings every
where will promptly fall into line, and illustrate, by
their activity aud energy, the deep and paramount
interest they feel in the result Of the pending strug
ge-a struggle important in is bearings uDon
the future OF the Republic than any which has ever

champion both Of the Union and oi the South, aud.
consel uenty deserves the confidence aud support
Of the friends or both without distinction Of sect or

We appeal io the old line Wings Of virginia and
