BALTIMORE SATURDAY VIsITER. This paper has
become united with the National Era, and Mr.. Snod

the prospect was, would have larger circulation
than any other paper in the city.

answers to others from the natives, relative to
the Presidency. 1t appears that Messrs. Clay,
Stewart, and Edwards decline having any thing
to do with the natives, while Old Rough and
Ready states that he is willing to accept the
office OF Chief Magistrate, if it comes from the
people at large, and not from any one party. We
understand that the independence OF General
Taylor OF all parties pleases the natives SO much
that they think of making him their candidate
