Union convention q saturday last.

friends, the Union convention Of Satur
day last attracted respectable assem-
hlage Of Democrats and Union Wings
from the several Districts, who furnished
satisfactory evidence of their zeal in the
cause which had called them together.
The kindest feeling prevailed perfect
harmony marked the deliberations Of the
Convention; ana spirit Of enthusiasm
pervaded the whole body, giving ear
nest Of what win be the happy result Of
the contest in this county.
Two sets of delegates were selected !;
one to represent US in the Congressional
Convention, to meet at Bladensburgpn
the 2sth instant; the other, in the State
Convention, to be held at Baltimore on.
the Both. For the names Of these dele
gates we refer to the official proceedings
of the Convention, published in another
column. It viii be observed that they
were chosen without regard to former po-
liticaI Identification, and we undertake
to say that better appointments could not
have been made to reflect the true sen6
ment of the Union party of Montgomery.
Every delegate is well known for his
political sagacity, prominent standing
and sincere and active devotion to the
principles Of civil and religious liberty.
Our delegates go to these Conventions
untrammellad .byinstructions butwhat-
ever may be their course Of action there
in, no one cognizant Of their judgment
ana tact in such matters can doubt chat
it will prove entirely satisfactory to their
constituents We havereason 10 believe,
however, that the name Of Gen. WIN.
LwoAN GAlrHna viii be presented and
urged by our Congressional delegation
for nomination, and surely no member Of
our party win think Of complaining If
such should be the case. His position,
| political, intellectual and moral, is not
inferior to that Of any gentleman in the
Congressional district who has 4eon
