MARYLAND WHIas.-The Old Line Wings OF
Maryland in convention at Baltimore, adopted a
series of resolutions from which we copy the follow
ing: i. 4
Third: That we regard Col. Fremont as unquali-
fed for the duties of President; and the platform OF
the Republican party as antirepubican, unconsttu-
tional and anatical calculated to oment disc0rd in
crease sectional agitation, and lead to civil war
and disunion, and we entirely repudiate them as
unworthy the support of the National Wings of
Maryland.
Fourth: That we declare the Democratic platform,
with regard to the foreign policy of the party caIcu
lated to tarnish the national character countenancnp
llibustering designs against friendly nations, and
totally subversive of the general principles of right
and justice so ably carried out by MilIard Fillmore
during the administration which gained for him the
proud title of the model President
FJtt: That we regard James Buchanan as one of
the participators in the Osend Conference, as dan
gerOus and unsafe man to be intrusted with the Exec
utve power of the country.
8 rtt: That we can see nothing in the present po-
sltlon OF the Democratic party that promises term-
nation OF sectional agitation and nothing that viii
restore peace and harmony to the country but find it
holding position of extreme sectional bias the sue
cess OF which can only tend to prolong the present
unhappy condition of affairs and give room for re-
newed attacks the integrity and permanency of the
Union.
S,u,ntt: That the Wings delighted to honor Henry
Clay while living and revere his memory now that he
is dead, knowing him as pure and patrotic and that
they regard James Buchanan as the man, above all
Others, who knew the asty of the charge of bargain
and corruption when he promulgated it.
Eighth: That we regard Millard Fillmore as one
whose antecedents warrant truly national Admins
tration-irm, moderate and tranquil equal and i'm
partial to the north and south faithful to the consti-
tuition and the laws; national man with national
principles, whose conservative character and views
calculated to alay the sectional strife now threatening
the stability of the Union and who will by compro-
mise concession and sngeness of purpose secure the
welfare and harmony OF the country.
Nu'ti: That, as citizens of saveholdng State,
anxious for the restoration of kind and brothery feel
ing between all sections, and for the qualification of
sectional anmosity and agitation, we call on our
brethren at the north and at the south to pause and
reflect, and meet the approaching crisis as patriotic
citizens, without unnatural animosity against those
brethren who were by the same ties united to the
country and common destiny.
Tenth: That in Millard Fillmore we recognize O
consistent and conservative statesman in whose ante
ced>nts we nothing fear but everything expect, tend
ing to the national tranquility and honor and glory of
the common country. In the language of Henry
Clay, "He has administered the Executive Govern
ment with signal success and ability" and we have
tried him and found him faithful an honest. [The
resolution concludes by commencing the foregoing
declaration to their political brethren throughout the
Union.
