! The Wings Of Maryland met in convention
at Baltimore on THURSDAY last and adopted a s.
IieS OF resolutions, in which they condemn IN
no StInttd language the claims OF Fremont and
buchanan, and recommend in rXtravagant termS
those OF Fillmore. They diSclam any connfS-
100 with any Of the existing political organlza-
tlons, and ayow their purpose Of maintaining
their independent position until such time aS
they may deem an active reorganization adyl-
sable. They call themselves wings, but their
resolutions bear Inherent evidence that they are
something more or something less than od-he
wings. There is quite as much of the odor OF
nothlngism about their proceedings as
there Is oi whlgism; and they are not really
members OF the party which proScribeS mPn on
account Of the accidental place OF their birth,
they have shown very distinctly that they are
ready for initiation The men who could en-
dorse the unjust and untruihtui comments which
are made IN their resolutions on the position ol
the democrats and their candidate in regard 10
our foreign policy show that they ought to adept
some other name than that OF wings. lh'y
make PretenSlons TO virtue which Is often as
Sumed TO cover up partisan purpoSrs-c -coaSeFFa-

better claim 10 it is they had been less ultra and
partisan in their illusions to others who, 10 say
the least, have quite as good title 10 ii as Their
''model President" Judging The character OF
th~ convention by lis proceedings, and BY TIE

Portrait Epa5ntigRw!

G Professor GLoGGgG, the eminent portrait and
Landscape Painter, has arrived here. We may refer
to his work as his highest commentator. He brings
with him Portrait Of Rev. Mr. HryDEv, of this
place, which is considered by all who have seen il
excellent one, and fair specimen of the tai
ents of the distinguished Artist, as a Portrait Paint
er. In judgment, this likeness is so erfac, that
il is not susceptible of improvement, and we think
all who examine it will concur with us in this opin-
OF 'sDiana' preparing with her attendants Tor the
chase. This painting, his own production, we un-
derstand, he will offer Cor sale. He is stopping at
the E9Washington HOTEL and will he IN readiness 10
take Portraits at any time during his stay.
BY way OF Illustration to the painting in question:
il may be well to suboin brief account OF the my
thoIogy OF the Pagans respecting ''Diana.' Diana
is represented by heathen writer's the Goddess OF
hunting She is said to have been born al the sam me
birth Apollo, in the island of Dplos. To shun
the society of men, she devoted herself to hunting,
and always attended by a number of chosen
virgins, who like herself, abstained from the use of
marriage. She is represented with aquiver, spear,
and sounding horns, and attended with dogs She was
supposed TO be the same as the moon, and hence she
was called PhGbe, or the brilliant. Many other
names and offices were given to her, but we have
aid enough abont her, TO illustrate the admirable
painting OF Professor GLoGGER.
