70 the Union men Of The city Of Wilmington
The undersigned appointed by you q public
meeting held at the City Hall Jolly 10th, 1861,
for the purpose of making arrangements for no
minating " Union ticket" to he voted for at
the coming municipal election, deem Il due 10
you that they should thus publicly stnte their
views and their action.
The committee believe il your wish, as well |
" the desire Of the voters of the city OF Will |
mington, to have an opportunity to show to their |
fellow citizens Of the State, aud OF the Union, |
their devotion to the Union, the Constitution
and the laws of our beloved, hut distracted coun
try, unirammelled and unntuenced by former
party ties and preludices, il they can meet upon
common platform, and that platform the legacy
of the immortal jackson, d" the Union must aud
shall be preserved"
The committee believe further, that there is II
large majority Of each OF the four parties, ar-
rayed against each other upon national princi
Piles at the last election for President OF the
United States, who are in favor of sustaining
the administration in the righteous war Of self
preservation 10 which it is now engaged, until
| the authority Of the government of the United
States shall be acknowledged by the thrty-four
States in the Union aud the Star Spangled Ban
ner the emblem # liberty, shall float upon tue
breeze of every hilltop aud valley, from the
lakes Of the north into the gulf, aud the Rio
Grando Of the South; and the Stars and Bars Of
secession aud treason shall trail in the dust.
To carry into effect these views which they
believe to be the patriotic desire of their fellow
citizens, they unanimously agreed to recommend
! ticket for the nomination on the 10Th inst,
J. which is composed Of one man from each Of the
II four parties, recognizing all Of them, and ask
ing but two questions, viz; "Are they capa
BILE p and they in favor of the I" Union Of
these States, Oae aud inseparable now and for
! ever ?"
The committee were met at the threshold OF
their deliberations by delegation from the
Workingmens Association, who desired TO be re
ceived, and TO he recognized upon the ticket,
pledging themselves if so recognized at the no
mination election, to give their undivided sup
port to the successful nominee. They held II
joint meeting and untedy agreed to present two
tickets for nomination, one recommended by
their association, aud one by the Union com
mitiee they, like us, selecting unconditional
Union men, aud pledging themselves to the oh
