Important MoveRopt, of the Old Line
Wings in Michigan in Favor Of Buch-
anan and BreckinridSe. .,,-,
Just after the Convention of old line
wings in Baltimore had confirmed the fore
gone conclusion Of supporting Mr.. Fill
mo1e, it will be refreshing to all true
patriots aud Union loving men to read
the. following singing rebuke to the
action Of that body, which pretended to
represent the entire Wing party of the
Union. It is taken from the Detroit Free
Press. a0d is an appeal to the Wings of
Detroit. to the Wings Of Michigan" sign
ed by sirty- nine Of the leading and sub
stanIial Wings OF Detroit, of the Clay
and Webster school, many of whom have
held high positions in the national and
State governments. The Press says. the
list could easily have been swelled to Sc
veral hundred. They say ...
Whatever our Wing friends in other
States Of the Union may, in the circum-
stances by which they are surrounded,
conclude to do. for ourselves, in the ab :
seuce Ofan un0lloyed Wing organization,
after q careful survey of the signs which
mark the political horizon of the country
in view of the temperament OF our people;
when excited to transportation. by the de-
signs of the .demagogue, and of the dam
ger that acts may be done by them under
the influence of temporary alteration Of
judgment, however patriotic the motives.
Of the actors. which will cause the ataTa
OF our cherished confederation to 60 down
in an endless political night, and the flag
Of our Union to be stained in fraternal
bEoOd-we deem it to be o paramount du@
ty to leave ,untried no honorable means
which may contribute TO- the dofeat of the
Republican ticket, and thereby preserve
to ouTseVes an independent existence rea-
dy for future action and entitled to glo-
rious triumph when our now excited aud
deluded friends shall resuue their wopted,
elaboration, and renew their allegiance to
that conservative party which has 6itherI
10 looked upon the United States as. ono
couLtrY, and has engraved in iIlumiua ed
letters upon it's own chosen standard this
patriotic motto : Liberty and Union, now
and forever, one and inseparable.'5 go
"And, finally, on review of our re-.
lations to the Democratic party, We find
that our differences with it have become
narrowed down to an honorable rivalry
for obtaining possession of the power Of
tho Government, each claiming the dis
position and the capacity to use it so as
more certainly than the other to become
instrumental in consolidating the Govern
ment and promoting the happiness end
of the people. For these 'rea<
sons we proclaim our intention to retain |
our position as Wings but, for the sake |
Of the Government and the country,
whose duration aud peace we desire TO |
pTomotes in the absence of distinctive
in this State at the approach |
ing election, We will, asian alternative me-
cessity, SO cast our SURFACES as to pro-
mote the election of Mr.. Buchanan to the
Presidency of the United States, 10 which
patriotic effort We earnestly invoke your
cordial cooperation. ...'f '.'.7 .I3is |,
