MARYLAND PoL1r1cs The Democracy of a

P. Blair, Esq, from his obligation 10 vote for
CAss and BUTLER, that gentleman having de-
clared in letter to the New York Evening Post,
that he preferred Van Buren,, but would support
the Democratic nominees on account of being a
delegate to the National Convention.
Robert J. Brent, Esq, renounced his eonnec-
ton with the independent Taylor party,at a large
Democratic meeting at Port Tobacco, last week.

dent Taylor Electors, has also come out for Cass

vocacy. James A. Stewart, Esq. has dropped
his Independent Tayiorisn, but has not yet de-

DISINGENUOUS.

Some of the Wing presses, we observe, repre-
sert Col, BENTON of the Senate, as voting for the
wilmot Proyiso. The following statement will
show a. glance how unjust and disingenuous
this charge is. The whole OF. Oregon is known
10 be North of the Missouri Compromise line
Slavery was consequently excluded from it by the
adoption of that measure. While the ComPro-
mise bill was pending in the Senate,
"Mr. Davis of Massachusetts, moved to amend
the 9th section, by insertingt following words
sT'hat so much Of the 9th article of the ordi,
nance OF the 18th of July, 1887, us is conta med
in the following words, to wit: There shall be
neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the
said Territory, otherwise than in punishment Of
crimes whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted, shall be and remain in iorce within The
Territory o. Oregon.
Col. Benton voted for this amendment, but who
does not see that it is nothing nor less than
reiteralion fan important feature ofthe Nilsson
ri Compromise, the amendment having reference
exclusively TO the territory. Oceans of mnrkey
ink have been used by Southern Wing editors in
extolIng Henry Clay for bringing forward the
Missouri Compromise. Yet, they denounce Col
Benton as a Wilmot Proviso man for simply re-
iterating one of its most important provisions

of .block spirits and blue" Wigs, Democrats
Abo!itonists, and every other faction in the North.
1t is said there was 5o,oOopersons inattendance.
Ga the 81 day, the Convention nominated Martin
Van Buren, FOR the Presidency and Charles Fran

cy, and Massachusetts ,AboIitioniSt) for
IN. Vice Presidency. JohnP Hale had 100 votes
for the nomination for the Presidency, to Van Blu
rcn's l5t-not t&o,hiras. The vote of Hale
shows that the out.and.ont A5olitionists had a
strong representation in the convention But
what company is this forshe d Northern. man with
Southern principles TO be found in Martin
Van Buren, aternizing with that black faction, is
a spectacle too revolving to dwell upon.

To THE READERS OF THE FREE PEEss.-F'ind-

Weld any support to the nominee OF the late
Wing national convention, l retire from the edi-
toriai department of this paper. 1t is not neces-
sary, at this time, that should make an exPosl-
ton of my present position; suffice it to say that
am an !: ultra Wings" one that regards Princi-
Piles as paramount to every other consideration;
and, therefore, cannot conscientionsly aid in the
elevation Of any man who was willing " TO accept
a nomination from a national convention, should
such be held, for the Presidency, from the Wings
or Democrats, or from both, should they think
proper to tender it, without being pledged, or even
considering myself so. TO advocate the views or
opinions ofeither.' AS Gen. Taylor, by his own

supporting him would be a virtual abandonment
of those principles, and, therefore, must decline
to become his s. advocate"

poLITICAL A, B, C's.

The following extraordinary announcement is
seriously made in the Ne'o York Mirror, n paper
devoted to Taylor:
.sThe undersigned has it from the very best
authority from medical gentleman connected
with one of Gen. Taylor's aides de-camP, that the
old General is constantly engaged in the study
of political economy, as suited 10 the Pecullar
position of the United States.
Now, is it not positively ridiculous to hear It
said BY A FRIEND OF TAYLOR, that the WIG
CANDIDATE for tho first Office in the gift OF the
peopIe. (THE HIGHEST IN THE woRLDD I" IS con-
sta1tzy employed in The study Of political economy
as suited TO the peculiar position OF the " States
Clay, WEBSTER, CALHOUN, CASS, and the great
Statesmen of the Country, have been = studying
political econony'' all their lives!
How would it do for a FARMER to employ q
LAWYER as overseer, and PAY HIM WAEN0
for Studying agricultural economy"
How would it do for mechanic to employ a
DOCTOR 10 try n case in Court ana pay nun F"
g.-fec for IS Studying law enoughle lose Tue
case?
How would it do for a lawyer TO employ a
SAILOR to build house for him, and pay him
several Thousand dollars for g studying" archItec-
tare?
How would it do for a sailor to employ JUDGE
TO attend him for the smallpox, and pay him hlty
dollars to kill him?
Are the PEOPLE going to employ Gen. 1'A4-
L0R, at salary of $S25, 900 a year, to be Presi-
dent, and call on him to learn StatesmapshiP in
SIX MONTHS? On! humbug!!!
