The New York delegation approved
of the nomination, and tbe Massachu

The Ohio member* offered n resolu

unanimous, unless the nominee should
pledge himself in support of whig prin

The resolution was not entertained,
and caused much confusion in the con

An adjournment was then proposed,
but the motion was withdrawn.
Mr. Collier of New York moved that
the convention proceed to nominate a
candidate'for the Vico Presidency, and
nominated therefor Millard Fillmore;
but before action wns taken,
Mr Carroll of New York proposed
that the nomination for President be de-
' clared by the convention unanimous
Mr. Bryan, of South Carolina,gave his
hentry assent to the nomination.
Mr. Allen of Massachusetts would
not assent; He believed that the whig
party was this day dissolved.
. Mr. Wilson of Massachusetts, said he
could not concur, and would do ull he
could to defeat the nominee.
Mr/Lunt «f Massachusetts, the only
delegate, from that Slate who voted for
the nominee, snid he should give him a
cordial support, such ns he would hnvc
extended to nny other nominee. He
believed that Mr. Wilson did not express
tho sentiments of Massachusetts, which
had always supported the whig banner.
; Mr. Galloway, of Ohio, said he had
come pledged.
Mr. Bingham of Ohio offered a reso
lution providing the assent of tho entire
convention to the nomination, if Gen.
Taylor would pledge himself to accept
of it as the nominee of the whig party,
and carry out its principles—no exten

accordingly to ballot.
Mr. Galloway, of Ohio, moved an
adjournment until 3 o’clock—negatived,
as also a motion to take half on hour’s

The Baltimore Convention of1844 could
not agree upon either of the leading
candidates. That body was about to
dissolve without making any nomination

of hirn as follows :
“ Gen. Cass has been a successful po

ididates for the • universal, even among those who had expressed
the manifest P re,crenccs for other distinguished men of our par

acted wisely in the selection of the gallant and pa
triotic old Hero. It is true, that here and there a
Whig can be found who feels disappointed at the
defeat of his favorite, and who will at first treat
Gen. Taylor’s nomination with some degree of
coolness—but this, wo have no donbt, will sot n
wear off. We have too much confidence in the pa
triotism of our Whig friends who differ with us in
sentiment in regard to the policy of the Convention,
to suppose for a moment that a single one of them
will contribute to tho election of Mr. Cass by with
holding his support from tbe gallant old soldier who
“ never surrenders.” That disappointment should
be felt by the friends of those defeated is natural—
but the idea that they will in consequence leave tho
Whig party, or withhold their support from its nom

however, arrived at a charitable conclusion in rela

the hope that there would be “ concord,” (the height
of presumption however,) the discord was so great,
there was no chance to alter it.”
After this, they proceed with the resolutions of
1844. The first is in these words :
