Mr.. Conrad, from tile Committee on Resolutions.
then came forward and reported the following, re-
marking that they had been unanimously adopted by
the Committee. They were read to the Convention
and eaeh resolution received with HiusM Mappatise
but when the name of Fillmore was an1saIiced as
their choice the Presideney the widest entusi-
asEA was manifested 348S S8# 5s3 f#yf
Rssotued, That the Wings Of the United States,
now assembled IN convention, hereby declare their
reverence for the Constitution and their nalterabe
attachment 10 the National Union aad ther fixed de-
termination to do al in their power To preserve it for
themselves and their posterity. They have no new
pflnclpes 70 announce no new platforms toestablish;
but are contented broadly to rest where their fore
1atneTs have restsd upon the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States, wishing no safer guide, no higher law
sesofped That they regard with the deepest
anxiety the present dsdrdered condition OF our ma
tional affairs ia portion Of our couasfy rasaged by
civil war, and large sections of our err
Uttered by mutual Fecrin1inations and they dis
tinctly trace these eaanities ealpabIe neglect
Of duty BY tue present national administration.
Resolyed, That the Governments Of these United
States was formed by the conjunction political unity
Of wide spread geographical seetion materially diff
fer1ng not only u climate and but ii social
shall permanently array those sections In political hos
tty and organize parties foutes oil geDgraph-
lca distinction, must inevitably prove fatal to the
continuance Of the national Union.
Resotred That the " hgs Of the United States. de-
clare as fundamental article Of their political fifth
the absolute necessity Of avoiding geographical par
ties. The danger 50 clearly dseerned by the Fs6her
OF his Country in parties founded on geographical
distinctions has now become fearfnly appares2s in
the agtationWhich is convnlsing the nation to its
centre, and which must be arrested at once If we
would preserve our constitutional Upon frors dis
membefment, and the name Of America from being
ablotted from the family of eisilized nations.
Resolued, That without adopting or referring to
the peculiar doctrines of the party which has already
selected Mr.. Fillmore as its candidate we look to
him welltried and faithful friend Of the goisti-
tuition aud Union. Eminent alike for his wisHDm and
firness for his justice and moderation in ops foreign
relations for his calm pacific temperament well be-
coming the head of great and enlightened govern
ment for his devotion to the Constitution in its true
spirit and his indexibility in executing all laws
passed under its authority but, beyond aa these at
Tributes in possessing the one transcenlent merit Of
being the representative of neither OF tla two Sec
tlonal parties now struggling for political supremacy.
Res0lred, That all who revere the Constitution and
iove the Union must take alarm ag the stttude as
sumed by two of the great parties In the field in the
present Presidential canvass the one clang only to
represent sixteen Northern States of tha Union the
other appealing mainly to the passions and nrejudces
of the Southern State and that the of either
OF these factions Mnst add fuel the flame which noW
threatens to wrap dearest interests in one common
ruin.
Resolued, That the only remedy fog evils SO appal-
ing is to support candidate pledged to neither of
the geographical sections nov in political an
tagonism, but holding both in just and equal regard
We congratulate the friends of tho Union that such a
candidate exists in Mlard Fillmore, Of the State Of
New York.
Resoiped, That in the present exgency of DablSs f.
fairs we are not called uponto discuss any subordinate
questions OF administration in exercising the censtitf
donal powers Of the government it is enough to know
that civil war is raging and the Union is in ner and
to proclaim earnest conviction that the restoration
of Mr.. Fillmore to the Presidential chair will furnish
the best, not the only means Of restoring peace to
the country. @ afS'#$
Resoieed, That we cordially approve of the nonna-
ton of Andrew J. Donelsoa Of Tennessee fos the Of
fee Of Vice President, regasding him as aational
conservative patriot faithfully devoted to t Consti-
tuition and the Union.
Raselred, That the spontaneous rising of ae Wings
throughout the country, their prompt rally support
OF highest national interests and the spirit here
displayed sufficiently attest the national importance
OF preserving and rensigoratng their party organi-
zation; and that National Wing Comm3stee OF one
from each of the States be now appoiated by the
President to call any future convention and gener-
ally promote the effective organization Of tie party
throughout the United States. z45:
Resolced, That these resolutions be- published and
respectfully submitted by this Convention to the peo.
pie of the United States.
The question was then put on the adoption of the
resolutions as reported, and they were unanimously
adopted; this announcement was received by the a-
dence with tremendous applause; after which three
cheers were enthusiastically given for Mlard Fill
more, and three more for North Carolina.
