This week we fling to the breeze the names
Of James Buchanan, of Pa, and John G. Breck
inridge, Of kentucky, as our choice for Presi-
dent and Vice President ofthe United States.
In doing this we sacrifice no principle. We
surrender none ofour long-cherished and heart
felt predictions for the glorious old Wing
party From our earliest boyhood until the
treacherous fat Of the New York Tribune went
forth proclaining the disorganization OF the Wing
party, we battled in the ranks Of that party for
principles that were dear to us; and the memory
of the times that have past--sometimes stormy
and dark and fearful-sometimes checkered by
the bright hopes of success, commingled with
the fittuI shadows Of defeat; but always attend
ed with the earnest strivings Of honest convic-
tions against the manliness ofan open foe--those
times in Our political life will always be rcmcm-
bered by us as among the brightest in our exist
ence. We have no regrets for this portion Of
the past. Were the same circumstances pre-
sentod again, we would again enact the same
| life. --
Even after The Wing party was proclaimed to
be extinct, with hope that found but few sym
pathizers, we have cluns to the idea of prejuve-
mated Wing party till now, when all admit that
there is no longer ground Tor hope. ..
Old party issues are ignored. 1t IS said they
are extinct Perhaps they are; but we think
that at SO me future time when less of danger
surrounds the. existence Of our national integri-
ty that may be again presented.
There is really but one absorbing question
now before the people. In the soleun magnn'
tude ofits presence all others are hushed, Th!
question is at last presented in q tangible form
Shall the Uuion be preserved? or shall the frs
step be taken toward the entire disruption 0
the States Of the Union by severance Of thu
North from the South? Looking at the poltica
aspect Of the times, with this question starins
us in the face, me make our choice Of candidates

Of permanent interest 0thar principles ar

On the other hand, the preservation Of Il
Union is a minor AMI secondary principle wit
those who haze met in convention under the t
tie Of orRepublicans. With them, the presawaEio
o. the Union is to be tolerated as matter {
Contingency. Mr., Banks committed the first
vert act Of treason in declaring in the halls
Congress that he was in .fayqr Of "letting tn
Union slide" unless favorito crotchet Of h
own and his associates could be onlorscl.t #
, This is the broad and grand. division of th
question that now divides the country; and
f view Of it we hesitate not to declare our infini
preference for James Buchanan to any othc
i. man who sustains the least chance of election
} and 10 endorse him as a man we'll calculated t

source ofpleasure to Us to know that our opin
