More Bolting.--Ex-Gov. Hunt, of New York, who presided over the Baltimore Union Convention, caused it to be understood that he would not consider himself bound to support the nominations of that body. He would wait for more light before deciding.

The New York Express, we see, which led off for and advocated the claims of Sam Houston, publishes an address to the people of that State, in favor of the hero of San Jacinto, and inclines to the idea of taking him in preference to the nominee of any Convention. All this looks like bolting the Constitutional nominations.--Cin. Gaz.
