The nomination of Bell and Everett appears to be
decidedly distaseful TO the Union in this State
On Wednesday evening, at the meeting of the Kings

fully illustrated. The action of the Baltimore Con-
venton was severely censured, and decided deter
imitation manifested TO bolt the nominations 1t was
agreed that if the Chicago Convention put forward
conservative candidates such Bates, Banks,
Lincoln the best course for the Union men would be

their rights and when they found they could not OBJ
tain them, they properly withdrew. The two most
important resolutions adopted were the following:
