AMER this announcement was made, several
memben arose and expressed their feelings on The

sey redeem her nomination. Mr.. Nee.
moved the unanimous nomination Of Gen.
Taylor by the Convention.
This motion was seconded in a very
able speech by Gov. Vance. He was
from Ohio. and had ever supported Hen
~ Clay, and still entertained for him the
warmesl political affection but now that
the Convention had nominated Gen. Tay-
Tor and Willard Fillmore, il would be A.
like his duty and pleasure-and he was
sure that il would be that OF his conslilu-
ents also, TO support the nominations Of
the Convention with all The zeal in their
pOwer-lof in so doing. they supported
the great and patriotic principles Of The
Wing party. -...
Mr.. Carroll, Of New York, in SAYING
that Y. York would sustain tile nomina.
iions of The Convention. observed that the
!ren'ls Of Gen. Taylor had obtained a
great yiclory--and Gen. Zachary Taylor
had surrendered 10 his friends--hs nersr
sgTrtnders 10 his enemies-tCh
And if the Wing party followed his ex-
ample, il would be triumphant forever
il was only 10 adopt this motto: I'VE
never surrender" The wish Of New
York had been kindly considered in the
appointment Of Mr.. Fillmore--and nobly
would New York respond to The nomina.
lions Of the Convention.
Mr.. w. II. johnson, of Pa, said that
the Pennsylvania Delegation had not been
able to agree, as there had been divided
counsels among them Each Delegate
having his iavoriie candidate. But as
soon as the decision of the Convention
was known, there was but one feeling in
the Pennsylvania delegation-there was,
and is, and would be, but one voice in
Pennsylvania-and that voice would say:

| Mr.. Shearman, of Ohio, here rose and
made some remarks about confirming The
nomination by an unanimous vote Of The
Convention. He did not deem that al
all necessary. Some gentlemen hesiIat-
ed, and others were in trouble, because
they had not got their favoriies. He said
il was better 10 lay over all resolutions
and go down 10 independence Square,
where Tie people were in council, and try
the unanimous resolution there; and when
the delegates who hesitaied heard The re-
spouse Of the people there assembled
there would be no hesitation about one
thing certainly, and that was that the cleo
ton of Taylor and Fillmore was as Ger.
tain as that they had been nominated.
i The suggestion was received with ap'
probation from all sides, and the resolu'
ton was wilhdrawn.
Mr.. Janifer, of Nd, responded in the
hearliest manner TO the feelings and sen
tments thai had been expressed in favor
Of Taylor and Fillmore. In Maryland
from this day forward 10 the 9Th of No
vember next, no though. would possess
the Wings but the thought Of success
no names mentioned in Wing ranks bu
Taylor and Fillmore. The Wings o
Maryland would go heart and hand fol
The good cause--and would give large
vote for Taylor aud Fillmore than they
ever gave for any ticket.
Aiter closing the business Of the Convention
the President delivered the following valedictory
replete with fine feeling and patriotic sentiments
