WING RATIFICATION MEETING.

At a meeting of the Wings of Charles
County, on Tuesday the 18Th inst.- GEORGE
P. JENKINS, Esq, was appointed President
Col. JOHN HUGHES and DR.. JOHN FERGUS
SON, Vice Presidents, and Fl. FL. HAWKINS
and GEORGE DENT, Secretaries.
The President, in few pertinent remarks
stated the object Of the meeting be re-
Spouse to the nomination of the NatIonat
Wing Convention, which met in Philadel-
phia on the 9TH Of June last.
Col. DANIEL JENIFER addressed the
meeting in a speech of about an hour, in
which he reviewed the proceedings of that
Convention and explained the course pur-
sued by the Delegates from the State Of
Maryland, and expressed his qualifications
that the whole delegation had concurred in
the nominations there made. He urged up
on the friends of Mr.. CLAY, and all other
Wings, the propriety and obligation to give
the nomination hearty and united support,
that the platform upon which Gen. TAYLOR;
stands is broad enough for all parties. He.
is emphatically the Candidate of the People,
who IN all sections of the Union, long be-
fore the Democratic or Wing National Con-
ventions were held, had been nominated by
them in Democratic, Wing and independent
meetings. He is not the leader Of any par
licular party, but, if elected, will be the Pre-
sident Of the People of the United States.
Upon such candidate all can rally and res
cue the country from the dangers of foreign
war and domestic strife. In conclusion,
Col. JENIFER offered the following pream-
! BILE and resolutions, which were unanimous
ly adopted with enthusiastic applause:
Whereas, National Wing Convention was
held, in the city of Philadelphia on the 7th June
last, for the purpose of recommending candidates
for President and Vice President of the United
States, in which Convention every State in the u
Mon was represented by delegates chosen by the
States; and Whereas the State of Maryland was
fully and equally represented and through her de-
legates participated in the proceedings of said Con-
venton, and after due deiberaon and interchange
of opinion with the delegates from the other States,
united in the nomination of Gen. ZACHARY
TAYLOR. as candidate for President, and MIL
LARD FILLMORE, as candidate for Vice Presi-
dent of the United States-Therefore,
Resolved, That we approve the proceedings of
said Convention and pledge ourselves. to support
the nominees of that Convention, and to,use all fair
and honorable means to ensure their election.
J. NJ. S. CAUsIN, Esq, the Wing Electoral
candidate for this district, addressed the
meeting IN all eloquent and impressive
speech, in which he drew the contrast be-
tween Gen. TAYLOR and Gen. CAss-the
one the candidate of the people, the other
the Internationally pledged candidate of an
ultra party; after which
THOMAS F. BOWIE, Esq, one of the E.
ectors appointed by The Independent Tay-
Tor party of Maryland, made few remarks
defining his position, and concluded by
pedging himself ",o give to Gen. TAYLOR
staunch, uncompromising support"
All of which was received with enthusi-
as!ic applause.
Resolutions were then passed in compli-
ment to the Presiding and other officers, and
that these proceedings be published in the
Port Tobacco Times, National In.elligencer
and Baltimore Patriot.

and most respectable convened here on
