aneeI as the great hauonsi charities BY which the
Union II ever 10 pc preserved, as a fountain Of
perennial blessings to the people,
Let these principles DO taken TO the hearts Of
those who pledge themselves to the support of the
party, and let them aetuae their private life as well
as ther Puone DUTY
TO promote this movement, measures should be
adopted with as little delay as possible, such as
will afford an opportunity TO the party to exert a
controlling influence on the approaching election,
and TO select candidates upon whom its vote may
be enecuVely concentrated:
10 this END wepropose that Convention be inn
mediately held in each State, which shall assume
the duty oil emboaylng the whole conservative
strength OF each in such form as shall make II most
effective,
That each OF these Conventions shall make .
nomination oftwo candidates for the Presidency,
(omitting TO nominate Vice President) TO be
leoted from those most eminent and approved in
public esteem, one Of which cRndidatesI at least,
shall be citizen Of some other State than that in
That these two candidates from each State shall
be submitted to the cons liberation of n General
Convention, to bo assembled at Baltimore, at a
time that shall be designated by the National Ex-
eeutN COMMITTEES, which General Convention shall
be empowered to select from the whole number of
the nominations transmitted to it, n candidate for
President and Vice President, as the candidates
Of the Constitutional Union party:
That this General Convention shall consist Of
representation from each State, composed OF tho
same number OF members AZ its representation In
the two houses of Congress:
That this representation OF zach Stale lie chosen
either by the State convection itself or In such 9th
er manner as such Convention, in view of the
shortness of the time for the proceeding, may ap-
point.
Convention constituted in accordance with
this plan, we think, would be satisfactory to all
parts of the country, and altogether competent
to the duty of a discreet and judicious selection
Of candidates. Tho people who have SO much
reason, In their habitual experience of the insult
cheney Of fConventions, to feel no little dstrust of
these bodies, might prefer seme other mode of
nomination, If a better could now be adopted
But in the present emergency, when delay would
render any attempt to make a nomination for the
coming election useless, we are persuaded they
will aequiesce in the plan proposed, as the best
the time will allow. Such Convention will avoid
some of the objections to which the ordinary and
accustomed composition OF Conventions is exposed.
1t win be confined to the single duty of selecting
the candidates from numbero Of eminent citizens
presented by the several States as worthy OF the
first office in the Government; and it will, most
probably hDd in the concuring opinion Of several
State Conventions in favor of one or more indiVid
uAs, q useful guide TO the most acceptable nom'-
nation. And az It will be restricted in its ehoce
to the names presented, it will under no circum.
stances offend the public wish by eleoting eand t.
dates unknown to or unrespscted by the country.
Whether any other principles than those we
