THE REUEDY.

In another column Will be found ref
.,s,ce to the reasonable sentiments, the
.x;stence and PRONUNCIATION of which, con-
.,;tute the danger which threatens the
wee and perpetuity of this Union We
ID intended to set before our readers a
-.n,her of extracts from the Northern Fill
maze papers, which would enable them to
sorra correct opinion of the proud and
lotty spiri, of patriotism, which animates
.Ee tosoms of the supporters of the only
,.tional candidate for the Presidency, but
:, consider that the remedy for the dan
gsr Is 50 lucidly, so incontroveTtibly exhi-
I;,.d in the following article from the
Nst;onal Intelligencer, of Sept. 23d, that
Eli content ourselves with submitting
!. Red it, every one OF you, who would
know the duty you owe to the Union.
The Whig National Nomination.
We have already spread before our re.-
des the proceedings of the Whig Nation
aICOnvention, lately assembled in the city
OF Baltimore. Upon these proceedings the
Wings of the Union are now called to SIT
in Judgment, and to pass upon them that
verdict which their enlarged and cOncllla-
tory patriotism, as we'll as their fealty to
Whig principles, may seem to require at
their hands.
We are not unaware of the many Difficult
,ies and embarrassments which, In the pres
eut unsettled state of political parties,
have thus far rendered the question of du-
ty, in the approaching Presidential cleo
ton, one of no easy solution to as many
Wings as still remain uncommitted to Ell
ther Of the great parties at present conten-
ding for the supremacy. 1t was therefore
in the hope that, by the mutual inter-
change OF opinions and counsel, the Ma
tional Wings of the Union would be able
to arrive at some clearer conception of
their duty to their country, as well as with
view to the ultimate reorganization of
the National Whig party, that we have
heretofore, In common with journals in
other parts of the country, approved the
proposition for a Convention in which the
Whigs of the several States should be rep
resented BY their chosen delegates.
Such a Convention has now been held
An assemblage so respectable, alike for
numbers and intelligence, as was this Con-
rentiOn-though not representing, as could
have been wished, all the States of the
Confederacy-if composed of Wings, and
only Wings, would be fairly entitled to the
most respectful considerations and de-
fense from us and all protesting Wings in
every quarter of the Union Respecting
the general composition of that convention
We have no means of judging beyond those
possessed by our Intelligent readers, though
it is no more than just to our convictions
to state that 1t appears to have been in
truth what it prO.essed to be, Convention
of Wings, who, whatever may have been
their utilization or sympatiiies since the
late depression of the Wing party, are pre-
sunIed never to have avowedly connected
themselves with any other political organ
izatiOu- The unanimity that marked the
pg1cee,iings of the Convention, and the
PromP;itude with which they arrived at a
choice .: candidates, no doubt truly re-
vttu ti.C cSIliIlCHt VA t.fCoS

Ia addition to the ;5.rsoaac! oE the Con-
-enti9n, every true Whig, We are satisfied
Tfii Dc able 10 and much IN It's general
proceedings and In the tenor OF ITS resoiu-
items 10 which he will yield hearty con-
cuFrencc- That II should have coulmeH-
ced It's deliberations by invoking the spirit
and reScrt!ng afresll to the lessons of the
PATE2 PAFEIB, as contained In his Fare
,,tU Ii,iress, cannot but be regarded, we
think, as an auspicicus incident. the con-
.cption CT which does honor alike to the
distinguished gentleman who proposed and
70 the Convention which adopted it. Not
only vas 1t most fitting act of patriotic
reverence for the character of WASHING
ION, but the Address itself is replete with
c0unsels which the lapse of time and the
changes Of opinion Ill our country render
only mOre)wise and more appropriate in
each succeeding age and generation.-
Next to the invocation of the Most High.
what act of homage could be rendered
more proper than that which pledges the
fealty of the WHIGs of the United States
to the name and example of WASHING
TOM
Of the resolutions adopted by the Con-
yentlon We have already briefly spoken in
Introducing them to our readers As we
said then We say now, that in the main
they are satisfactory to us, as We doubt
not they will also be to the large majority
OF the Wings who have not fully identified
themselves with one or another of the 9TH
er parties In the country. These resolu-
tIons. so far as they affirm reverence for
the Constitution" and an ''unalterable at
tachment to the National Union" will not,
We are assured, encounter single word of
dissent from any Wing who is worthy of
the name Equally Unanimous will be the
adhesion of all National Wings to the dee
iaratIon announcing as ga fundamental ar
'iele OF their political faith the absolute ne
ssessIty Of avoiding geographical parties"
The paramount consideration of the dan
gers to be apprehenaed from Northern
