The Result in Fairfield.

The result, in this county,need not cre-
ate any dependency. The future will
show that the Wing party has held its
own, if it has not broken upon the ranks OF
Locoiocoism. A large number Ofwhigs
refused to vote for Ford, and the majori-
ty for Governor is consequently no test
of the strength Of parties. In addition
to this, large number Of wings remain
ed a, home aud refused to vote at ALL
All that now remains for wings is to go to
work faithfully and cease not, until after
the November Election. We trust that
this will be attended TO. -

TAYLOR CONVENTION IN MARYLAND.


The Convention which assembled in Baltimore
Electoral Ticket for President of the United States
for the State of Maryland, consisted of Dele
gates from about half of the counties Of the State,
including the city of Baltimore. ALEXANDER Ran
DALI, Esq. "a sound Whig) presided. We learn,
however, from the Baltimore Clipper, that, in
the composition Of the Convention, party dis
tnctions were not regarded. !" On examining the
names of members Of the Taylor Convention
" which met in this city on Wednesday last" (says
the Clipper.) "it win be seen that prominent and
" influential gentlemen Of both Of the old parties
" have united upon General TAYLOR, with the pa
g triotic determination to burys the old political
:" feuds, and TO pull together for the interests Of
" the country"
The leading resolution adopted at the Conyen
ton was, that it would support Gen. TAYLOR as
:. the Peoples candidate for the Presidency;" and
the Convention nominated an Electoral Ticket
pledged to carry out its purposes.
Should Gen. TAYLOR receive the nomination al
the United States Whig Convention to be held in
independence Hall on the 7th Of June next he will
undoubtedly receive the vote of the State of Mary
land and it viii be objection to us that his poll
tical opponents in Maryland like the nomination SO
well as to sustain it.
Should he not receive it, however, he will hardly
get the vote of the State of Maryland though those
who have all their lives been opposed to his politi-
cal principles should vote for him. The Wings of
Maryland will, generally speaking, support the no.
minee of the Wing National Convention. There
may be individual exceptions ; but we doubt
even that.

The Washington correspondent of the Nes0
York Journal Of Commerce says it is urged by
leading men that the United States should put their
whole naval force in commission, including the
Pennsylvania, and make large show in the Medi-
terranean, example to the States struggling to
be free of the greatness and glory of the ransatan
tic republic.
1t has cost US quite enough to make large show
during the last two years in Mexico. We are not
in favor of the Administrator incurring an add-
tonal expense with the view of making big shows
in the Mediterranean sea for the benefit of Euro
pean, Asiatic, and African nations generally.
