The National Intelligencer for Fillmore
The Voice of Conservatism.
From the National Tntelgencer of Tuesday last.
The Whig National Nomination.
We have already spread before our read
ers the proceedings of the Wing National
Convention lately assembled in the city of
Baltimore. Upon these proceedings the
Wings Of the Union are now called 10 sit in
judgment, and to pass upon them that YER
dict which their enlarged and concliatory
patriotism, as well as their fealty to Wing
principles, may seem to require at their
hands.
We are not unaware Of the many difficult
ties and embarrassments which, in the pre-
sent unsettled state Of political parties, have
thus far rendered the question of duty, in
The approaching Presidential election, one OF
no easy solution TO as many Wings as still
remain uucommitted TO either of the great
parties at present tontending for the SUI
premacy. 1t was therefore in the hope that
by the mutual interchange of opinions and
counsel, the National Wings of the Union
would be able to arrive at some clearer con
ception of their duty to their country, as
well as with view to the ultimate re-or
ganization of the National Wing party, that
we have heretofore, in common with jour.
nails in other parts of the country, approved
the proposition for Convention in which
the Wings of the several States should be
represented by their chosen delegates.
Such a Convention has now been held
An assemblage so respectable, alike for
Numbers and intelligence, as was this Cor
vention--though not representing, as could
have been wished, all the States of the con.
federacy-if composed Of Wings, and only
Wings, would be fairly entitled to the mos
respectful consideration and dererance from
us and all protesting Wings in every guar.
ter of the Union. Respecting the general
composition of that Convention, we have nc
means of judging beyond those possessed by
our intelligent readers, though it is no more
than just TO our convictions TO state that il
appears 10 have been in truth, wha, il pro-
fesSed TO be, Convention of Wings, who,
whatever may have been their affiliations or
sympalhies since the late depression OF the
Whig party, are presumed never TO have
avowedly connected themselves with any
other political organization. The unanimi-
" which marked the proceedings OF the
Convention, and the promtitude with which
they arrived at a choice of candidates, no
doubt truly reflected the sentiment of those
whom they represented. ,r
In addition to the personnel of the Con-
vention, every true Wing we are satiied,
will be able to find much in its general pro-
ceedings and in tie tenor Of its resolutions,
to which he will yield a hearty concurrence.
That it should have commenced its delibe-
rations by invoking the spirit and resorting
afresh 10 the lessons OF the PArER PArRIE,
as contained in his FareweH address, can
not but be regarded, we think, as an auspi-
cious incident, the conception of which does
honor alike TO the distinguished gentleman
who proposed and 10 the Convention which
adopted it. Not only was it most fitting
act of patriotic reverence for the character
of WAsHINGroY, but the Address itself is
repleie with counsels which the lapse OF
time and the changes ofopinion in our coun.
try render only more wise and more appro'
} pirate in each succeeding age and genera.

High, what act of homage could be rendered
more proper than that which pledges the
fealty of the Wings OF the United States tc

Producing them to our readers. AS we sale
then we say now, that in the main they arr
satisfactory to us, as we doubt not they will
also be to the large majority of the Wing,
who have not fully identified themselves
with one or another of the other parties il
