THE UNION FOR THE SAKE OF
THE UNION"

His Excellency, JOHN TYLER, President of the
United States, was married on Wednesday NOM
ing last, the Goth ult at Nav York, to Miss JULIA
GARDINER, eldest daughter of the late Hon. David
Gardiner, of Long Island. The N. York Express
describes the bride as {" very beautiful and ee-
gantly formed woman, of apparently about twenty
Yeas OF age" We thought Mr.. Tyler was so
much engrossed with the Texas alton, tina,
he had forgotten the Union. But it seems that he
has more capacity than people give him credit for,
as he has managed to keep his eye fixed On the
g. Lone Star" and the Union at the same time.-
Well, we wish Mr.. Tyler much joy, and hope his
young wje will teach him TO be better man, and
better patriot.

AN INFRINGEMENT ON THE

The Loco Focos of Baltimore some time since
dubbed Henry Bedinger, Esq, of Jefferson, the
Loco Foco Elector for this District, Col Bedinger,
and we perceive the Wings of Baltimore not to
be outdone in this particular, as we see his oppo'
nent, Col Hunter, of Jefferson County, Va, was
one of the speakers at the great Wing Mass Meet
ing in Monument Square, on Thursday evening last.
Now we objec, decidedly 10 this infringement of
the Batimoreans on the rights Of our Militia, for
be it known, gentlemen, il is considered a great
honor !! "in these diggings" to be Colonel, and
no man can reach the distinguished eminenee with
out considerable electionsering, and understanding
SCOTS Drip perfectly. We do not believe that
either Col, Bedinger Col. Hunter have ever had
a soldiers coat on in their lives.

ing Of the adjournment of Congress, and
referring to the scandalous scenes which
dsgraceo the House OF Representatives

worthy, both by what it has accomplished
and what il has prevented"
