prnclpes as the needle to the pole They the pn-
cples OF 30 and '99the principles OF Jefersonounded
on strict State rights construction OF the constitution
They were the principles OF ls44 and they those OF
ls4s. They adverse all latudinous constructions
and all usurpaons of ungranted powers They anti
federal bank, anprotectve- tariff, ant-edera system
of-inernal improvements antdisbution- of the pro-
ceeds- of the public landsIn word, opposed to all
that host of usurped powers which constitute the
theory of the federal party. So Intimately connect
ed these principles with the very existence of
the wings, that whatever their present profess ions
may be, the country is in continual danger OF
their measures. Place them in power, and their
first impulse is to restore the system of measures
which they have adoped In $780, they professed
to consider their policy as obsolete. The bank was
gone. The protective tariff all settled The system
OF internal improvements defunct. But no sooner
were they fairly the saddle in s4I than they boldly
attempted to carry out their schemes 1t would be the
same at the present time They profess again to
say that the old issues have gone by but ii they should
succeed in obtaining power should again witness the
bold attempt TO restore the reign of theirmeasures
There is this difference between the two parties The
republican party all times consistent in their pro
fessons and faithful to their principles The wings are
polite in their declarations They suit their professions
to their condition They veil their principles under spe
cious DISCUSSES They consult expediency more than
honesty," as Wioughby Newton told them four years
ago. and spread their nets to catch birds of eyery
feather"
But the republican party their principles and
avoid no issues So triumphant they in carrying them
out to happest results that they ashamed of
them and always proclaim them We can now adopt

we trust the next Baltimore convention will readopt the
same general resolutions which they proclaimed in the
Baltimore convention of 1874
This is not the case with the wings. We have curl
evidence of this position in the proceedings of the
State Taylor Convention of Maryland. which assembled
at Baltimore Wednesday last Mr. Randall OF
Annapolis, was in the chair This convention have as
sumed Independent foundation They do not recognise
the Wing National Convention They do not send dele
gates to the general convention of June at Philadelphia
They appoint their electors and declare their deter
mnation to Gen. Taylor at all events They have
consequently put forth the following resolutions:
l. Resolved, That will support Gen. Zachary Taylor
the peoples candidate for the presidency and do here
by pledge ourselves all fair and honorable
secure his election
2. Resolved, Thatth convention nominate electoral
ticket pledged the support Of General Taylor for the
presidency of the United States.
Resolved That States throughout Union
be invited and do accordingly invite them, unite with
prompt State action in behalf OF the peoples cand
date General Zachary Taylor and that the friends
General Taylor in every State, be requested form cleo
toral tickets for that purpose.
L. Resolved That in Difference the views and wishes
the friends OF General Taylor States postpone
nomination for the Vice Presidency, until by the action
Of States friendly the election of General Tay
or their respective preferences with regard the Vice
Presidency shall become known and that the president Of
this convention be empowered and requested to call it
gether again the city of Baltimore whenever in his
Judgment the proper time shall have arrived.
Resolved, That accordance with the second resou
ton herewith reported the Chair be authorized appoint
committee OF from each congressional district,
onmend the convention electoral ticket for the sup
port of the friends OF General Taylor in Maryland.
Resolved, That committee of general correspondence
be appointed by the Chair, TO consist of convenient
from the counties, five OF whom shall be resident in
Baltimore city, promote intercourse and OF action
among the friends of General Taylor this State and
throughout the Union.
Resolved, That friends in the several counties of
the State be requested organize for the approaching
pagn adopt such measures they may deem
conducive to the success of our electoral ticket
We leave it to the Clay wings to Judge Of this
independent movement II it be the design of the
Taylor men to intimidate Mr.. Clay's friends, and
force them to nominate General Taylor in the wing
convention, we turn the matter over TO them. But
if their purpose be to run General Taylor on his
own hook, and on separate ticket, to defeat
an election by the electors and send it to the House of
Representatives we protest, in the of the people,
against such desperate alternative Save from such
result the prayer Of every patriotic American But
the reasons which the Taylor convention assign in their
address for running him at all events, curious enough
They contend that nether the democratic party the
aig party can elect exclusive party nominee to the
merit presidency that all the past party controversies
gone And yet they singulary bungle in proving this
proposition We beg the readers attention to the follow
ing extracts from the address:
