speaking of meeting in of the wards of the city
Baltimore, recently assembled elect delegates conven-
ton fhe wings ofthat city, iii said that Mr. John p Ken.

he pledged the of Maryland for General Taylor !" that

he prepared to recant that declaration that he had
found himself in error and ready go heart and soul
Tor Harry Clay !" that 'his was well re-.
ceived but voice. like that heard in the French Cham
Der of Deputies proclaimed t is ate and the election
proceeded with, and Mr.. Kennedy elected"
Permit me, genemen to say, through your paper that
this whole statement is sheer fabrcaton-a falsehood
from beginning to end.
The wings of the several wards of the city of Baltimore
held meetings the 10th of this month"; the purpose OF
appoint six delegates represent the city of Baltimore
State convention, and which, in its turn charged
with the duty of appointing eight representatives of the
wings OF Maryland in the national convention be held in
Philadelphia.

ALL RIGHT.-fhe sanction given by the
press OF the country to the nomination of Gen.
Taylor is almost entirely unanimous. In our
own State we know OF but one paper bearing
the proud title of Wing that has refused TO
support the Philadelphia Nominees. The pa.
per which we allude 10 is the Lafayette Jour
nal, edited by John b. Semana. The course
which this paper has pursued for some years
past has injured the great Wing party more
than any three Locofoco papers in the State
have in the same length Of tine. We under
stand that arrangements are. being made to
establish Wing paper in Lafayette. If this
be true, it will be GOOD bye Major"
We know there are hundreds and thousands
of good men who were anxious TO try the
sage OF Ashland another heat give him one
more round. and there were those who did
not think Gen. Taylor strong Wing enough for
them. He Is, however, the nominee by the
voice Of the people expressed through their
Convention, and the question for such as have
any doubts abou! the matter, is whether they
prefer The honest and pure hearted Taylor to
The intriguing politician Cass. That is the
question. A question which they will soon
settle in their minds. 1t is five months yel
10 the election, and, though the day be far of
let us offer prediction as To the vote of the
First District Of Indiana. We predict tina
Gen. Taylor will receive a larger majority IL
this District than did Mr.. Profit in his bes
race. We have pretty high opinion of on
faculty for foresight. For instance our readers
will remember the prediction we made some
lime prior TO the last August election, as to tn,
majority that Mr.. Enbree would receive owe
Mr. Owen, and, for which, every Locofoco 70
weeks afterwards, that we could get sight OF
turned out of our way as though he was abou
TO encounter a member of some Lunatic Asy
lum. Nevertheless the prediction was yeri
fed.

So wrote yesterday an upright, intelligent,
strictly temperate and useful citizen, member
of the Luzerne County bar and lately Deputy
Attorney General for said county. Anew words
in explanation. Some three weeks since our
member of Assembly returned from Harrisburg
i'll and was visited BY his friends, by Blackman
among the number. His illness proved to be
VarioIoid. The infection was spread, many
cases have occurred, all very mild ones, but
people became unnecessarily and foolishly alar
med Blackman who has recently lost his
wife and child, has been more than usually
melancholy, and his mind somewhat diseased.
In this state OF feeling he was attacked by the
disease, mildly like the other cases, but found
himself Stunned, and am sorry TO say ii, dri-
ven from among those whose friendship he had
a right to claim. From his fathers he was
driven by mob. On Wednesday last that
father q write the solemn truth, would to
God it was not sol left him in grove while
ne went to his physician TO ask for that shell
ter for his son which he had refused to give
him. His physician, take pleasure in giving
his name, L. w. Miner, NJ. D., gave him the
best shelter he had at his command, pent up
kitchen garrett. Here unattended and alone.
in feverish agony he wrote the lines at the
head Of this article, and witha razor cut, first
his left arm nearly in twain and then his
throat, nearly severing his head from the trunk.
