Resoired, That the Wings Of the United States

ence for the Constitution Of the United States !;
their unalterable attachment 20 the National
Union; and ahxed determination TO do all in their
power to preserve them for themselves, and their
posterity They have no new principles to an
nounce; no new platform to establish but are
content to broadly rest--where their forefathers
rested-upon the Constitution Of the United
States. wishing no safer guide, no higher law.
Resolved, That we regard with the deepest In
terest and anxiety the present disordered condi-
ton Of our national afairsa portion Of the coun-
try ravaged by civil war, large sections Of our pop
ulation embittered by mutual recriminations; and
We distinctly trace these calamtes to the culpable
neglect of duty by the present national admins
tration. s e4 &t
Resoleed, That the Government OF the United
States was formed by the conjunction in political
unity OF widespread geographical sections, mate
rally differing, not only in climate and prodncts,
but In social and domestic institutions and that
any cause which shall permanently array these Sec
tons in political hostility and organized parties
founded only on geographical distinctions, must
inevitably prove fatal TO continuance of the Ma
tional Union. X
Resoleed, That the Wings of the United States
declare fundamental article Of political faith,
an absolute necessity for avoiding geographical
parties. The danger so clearly discerned by the
FATHER OF HIS Country, has now become fearfully
apparent in the agitation now convulsing the ma
ton, and must be arrested at once IL we would
preserve our Constitution and our Union from dis
memberment, and the name of America from be-
ing blotted out from the family Of civilized nations
RESOLVED, That all who revere the Constitution
and the Union must look with alarm at the parties
in the field in the present Presidential campaign-
one claiming only to represent sixteen Northern
States and the other appealing mainly to the pas
sions and prejudces of the Southern States that
the success OF either faction must add fuel to the
llama which now threatens to wrap our dearest In
terests in common ruin.
Rcsoived, That the only remedy for an evil so
appalling is to support a candidate pledged 10 mel
ther OF the geographical sections now arrayed in
political antagonism, but holding both in a just
and equal regard. We congratulate the friends of
the Union that such candidate exists in Millard
Fillmore.
Resoised, That, without adopting or referring 20
the peculiar doctrines of the party which has al
ready selected Mr.. Fillmore as a candidate, we
look to him as vel. tred and faithful friend Of
the Constitution and the Union, eminent alike for
his wisdom and firmness-for his justice and mod
Grafton in our foreign relations--for his cain, aud
pacific temperament 30 well becoming the head of
a great nation--for his devotion to the Consttu.
ton in its true sprithis nexibility in executing
the laws; but, beyond all these attributes, in pos
sessing the one trsnscendent merit of being a re-
preventative of neither Of the two sectional par
ties now struggling for pol tical supremacy.
Resotved That in tho present exigency of polii-
cal affairs, we are not called upon to discuss the
subordinate questions of the administration in tile
exercising Of the constitutional powers Of the gov
ernment. tits enough to know. that civil war il
raging, and that the Union is in peril and pro-
claim the conviction that the restoration of Mr.
Fillmore to the Presidency will furnish the best if
not the only means Of restoring peace.
RESOLVED, That We cordially approve the nbmi-
nation of Andrew j. Donclson for the Vice Presi-
dency; regarding him az n national, conservative
patriot, faithfully devoted TO the Constitution and
the Union.

Wings throughout the country and their prompt
rally to the support Of the highest national inter-
ests, and the spirit here displayed sufficiently at
