THE UNION.


The signs are running strongly against the wing nom
nation whilst their leaders are Dragging high 2 Gu
trends In Virginia will believe us when we say
that some of the Hotspur wings are counting on the Ok
Dominion Faction and madness could no further go.
The democrats have on their part plain duty before
them We may despse the braggadocios OF the wings
but we must not fall into the of indulgng fata
and overweenng confidence We must not fold our arms
IN apathy but go to work with all our spirit Still, is
MOTTO be concealed that for the present the wings are
much disorder and confusion A gentleman in Maryland
writes to friend in this city, (both whigs) giving most
doeful account of the wing prospects in that State He
says that the nomination of General Taylor is received
by most OF the wings with great Indifference and gives
up the State to General Cass
Another singular sign has appeared in Maryland Our
readers will recollect convention which has recently
taken place in Baltimore, pedgng themselves to run for
Gen. Taylor without his being nominated No wonder
that these gentlemen, who went upon their own hook
for an Independent ticket and judged his views by his
correspondence of April 90 should have been surprised
and startled by the revelations of Judge Saunders in the
Philadelphia convention. Their committee of cores
pondence discaim all belief in these statements of Saun-
ders and about to bring the matter to ISSUE APP
pears by the following card in the Baltimore Sun The
whole affair, it to the Philadelphia convention,
seems strange one. No letter produced from Gen.
Taylor but the delegates from Louisiana undertook to
vouch for the statements as coming from him and yet
the old General seems to decline the task of answering
in black and white, for himself singular way, indeed
of bringing out SO important statement The RESPONSE
bility rests either upon the General the Judge. Ac-
cordng to the Maryland committee, it is impossible to
reconcile their statements together
pendent State Taylor electoral ticket OF Maryland and
the committee of correspondence appointed by the late
State Taylor convention for the city of Baltimore have had
their attention attracted by public the follow
ing passages in the statement published in the Baltimore
American of June TO- as having been made in the Wing
National Convention, by Judge Saunders of louisiana
authorized by General Taylor:
That General Taylor recognises in his friends in this
convention those who have the right withdraw his name
and will cheeriuly acquiesce in such withdrawal"
sand by the act OF uniting with this convention his
friends withdraw his from the unless he be
the nominee OF the convention"
The undersigned, relying upon the repeated declarations
of Gen. Taylor, the ground upon which he stood be-
fore the American people candidate for the presden
cy satisfied that the above referred
correct; and they taking proper steps distinctly
eve Gen. Taylor from any misunderstanding that sub
ect; The result Of which will be in due time announced
