ly adopted:
Whereas, call of the Wings of the Sixth
Congressional District of Maryland has beer
made, recommending that they assemble in
primary meeting this day, to appoint dele.
gates to attend in County Convention on the
22d inst, to select three delegates to meet
in Bladensburg on the Goth August, to
nominate Wing candidate for Congress
and whereas, we have not and cannot join
the organization of either of the parties of
the day upon principle, believing as we do
that the conservative principles as set forth
and maintained by our noble Wing party in
days of yore, are essential to the preserva-
ton of our glorious country; and aohereas,
| the disbanding of the Wing party for the past
several years has onl y proved to the world
+ its salutary influence, by the present excited
condition in which we find our beloved coun-
try: Therefore,
1. RESOLVED, That we, the Wings of the
second election district of Charles county,
proceed in accordance with recommendation
to appoint five delegates to meet in Port
Tobacco on the 22d instant.
2. ResoZued, That since the Wing party
has been disbanded we have witnessed in our
beloved country one continued scene of vio-
lent excitement and sectional strife, brought
about by political demagogues for selfish
ends, which has already disarranged the
beautiful fabric wrought by our forefathers,
the ''Whigs of '76," whose deeds of daring
and patriotism have secured to us the only
free government on the earth, and we can
but view with alarm and much concern the
tendencies and open declarations of parties
now organized, avowedly to dissolve the
Union of these United States.
3. Resolved, That we cannot unite with
either of the parties that have brought about
such baneful results upon our once peaceful
and happy land; the only legitimate fruits
produced has been to array the North against
the South,-the father against the son.
one religious denomination against another,
the social ties of friendship that in days
past so happily existed, and, paramount to
all others, civil strife, whereby the soil of
this asylum of the oppressed of all nations
has been crimsoned with the blood of it's CT
items.
f. RESOLVED, That we, the Wings of AL
lens Flesh district, appeal to the people of
our district, our county, our noble State,
and our glorious country, to rally under that
noble Wing standard, whose time honored
and conservative principles, as administered
by the last Wing Administration, left US the
freest and happiest people on the earth !;
whose principles as now maintained are
synonymous with the Union, free from bick-
erings and sectional strife, in favor of reli-
gious liberation to all mankind, cultivating
nought but friendly feeling with their fell
low man and all the nations of the earth, in
fine, whose cardinal principles was and is
Liberty and Union, now and forever, one
and inseperable."
5. Resolved, That we will know no dis
tinction among our fellow-citizens on account
of religious opinions. but that we recognize
men of all denominations as our political
equals in our country's welfare, and we
would scorn to mingle in the political arena
that dearest privilege of every freeman to
worship his Maker, according to the dictates
of his own conscience, to whom alone he is
responsible.
G. Resozued, That whilst the subject of
foreign immigration to our country has new
err been one of the fixed principles of the
Wing party, such is the vast. annual influx
of foreigners from the old world to our hos
pitable shores, that it has become subject
of great magnitude as to their political rights,
and whilst we would extend the boon of frees
dom to the oppressed Of all nations. such are
the enormities practiced by despotic govern
ments in sending their felons and paupers
in our midst that in our opinion the subject
demands serious consideration, and to cor
rect the many evils arising we are in favor
of a modification of the naturalization laws
7. Resolyed, That in our opinion the
members of the Wing party, although dis
organized, still compose an innumerable host
whose devotion to law, order and the Con-
stitution would be successfully felt if they
would but take courage and come to their
country's rescue; and we would appeal to
them in a spirit Of intense patriotism to Or,
ganize, and we confidently believe that you
will be joined by the patriotic Of all parties,
who love their country and their country's
future destiny.
On motion, it was resolved, that the Pre-
sident appoint committee of three to re-
commend to the meeting five delegates to
represent the district in County Convention
in Port Tobacco, on Saturday, the 22d inst,
when Samuel Cox, NJ. Chapman and James
G. Lee were appointed, who, after having
