RY TAYLOR was nominated by this
Convention, as the Wing candidate for
President of the United States.
The shouts which instantly filed the
Hall on the announcement of General
Tuylor's nomination. was enough to rend
the very walls and shake the solid build
ing to its foundations.
A vast concourse ofpersons had assem-
bled around the Hall, and by these a
laundering response was given to the
cheers and applause within. Nordid the
enthusiasm stop there, but people were
seen rup1ing in all directions spreading
the glad tidings-aud the emotions of Joy
were kindled with electric speed from
the centre to the EXTREMIST boundaries

every part, and then there seemed 10 rise
up from every street, and one might read
lily imagine from every house, simultane-
Gus shouts ofjoy and appreciation, which
must have been heard for miles around,
and these were taken up, renewed, and
responded to by more distant shouts
which extending further and further,
still made every place, around and about
as joyous-and it was long before the
last inspiring shout died joyously upon the
distant air.
Some desultory conversalionhere arose
and the members from the different States,
with two OF three exceptions, agreed to
support the nomination and pledge the

Our Candidates.

In accordance with the decision of the
Wing National Convention. we, to-day,
hoist at oul masthead the names of Gen.
ZACHARY TAYLOR. of Louisiana, and Mil
LARD FILLMORE, of New York.
1t is unnecessary, at present, to enter
into detail Of the services rendered the
country, by these distinguished individ-
uals.
The history of General Taylor is now
as familiar to the people of this Union
as household word. His recent servi-
ces in fighting his country's battles are
known and appreciated by all. Among
the host of good and true men, spoken
offor the Presidency, the Convention has
seen fit to bestow the honor upon Gen
TAYLOR and we hail his nomination, as
we would that of any other good Wing,
whose chances for success are beyond the
possibility ofa doubt.
In MnLARD FILLMORE, we recognise
a gifted, talented and reliable statesman
and a most popular He was mem
ber of the 9th Congress, and as chair.
man of the Committee of Ways and
Means, rendered valuable and efficient
services to his country. Although a new
member, he entered upon the difficult
and arduous duties ofhis station, with a
skill, energy and perseverance, which
marked the greatness and diversity of his
intellect. At the last State Election, in
New York, he was elected Comptroller
by tremendous majority.
These are the men presented by the
Convention for the suffrages oflhe Ameri.
can people. Disguised with the conduct
of the present Administration, they will
rally around the standard of Taylor and
Fillmore and march to victory.
