Address the People Maryland.
FELLOW CITIZENS The recent movement of the wing
party in Maryland, pointing to General Taylor wing
candidate for the Presidency evnces only another
of the great want of steadness and character which
has marked the action of that party; and but for the
outrage and injury their action is calculated infct
upon Gen. Taylor, it might well be passed in silence We
willing however, that the gallant soldier, whose
cherished in the hearts of his countymen of
all classes and of every shade of political opinion shall
be made the instrument Of political partisanhp and
strife; still less would his fame and brilliant
postuted to the temporary purposes OF
ing and fathless political party, whose organization
cay.
In its origin opposed TO military chicffainshps,
ganzed opposition to General Jackson and oppo
sed every obstacle which alliance with the factions
ry in turn deriving strength and Importance from the
connection In 1888, selecting Henry Clay their sem
bodtment," with the issues OF protective tariff and
national bank. In 1897, abandoning that distinguished
statesman, they Stae-rights Jackson in the
south, and at the north embraced the nomination of the
anti masonic party of Pennsylvania, While in 1910,
they united these elements into ticket, to be support
ed north and south thus renouncng their principles upon
the currency and revenue questions and adopting the
odious association of military chefianship opposition
which they organized in 1928 They thus succeeded
in elecng as President OF the United States military
hero first nominated and presented to the country by the
anti masons and Vice President statesman of the
Virginia Sate-rights school, who vetoed all laws passed
to establish national bank. In 1884, renouncing mill
tary craftsmanship this party returned to the support OF
that distinguished statesman whom they had abandoned
at the first sight of disaster 1885, TO abandon him again
at the when his eminent abilities gave them dig
ny and honor, in favor of military hero, General
Scott who upon the lighest pretexs, abandoned at
the first glimpse of distant availability" more likely
to unite in his support the dscordant elements which
constituted the organization of the hour But hardly
was their new leader allowed to organize the factions
north and south-ant'-rst abolition and ant'mason'y
