TIE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The Ncrc1y writer's should he alarmed TO-, soon:
they will have caUsedn time. What is very truly 81 id
by one of them-that Mr. CALHOUN will not eonscn.
to be run against Gen. JACKSON, is well knosn-
1t is equally we'll known What is the reason: he will
ind none TO support him but ultra ederaiss renerad,
democrats-thc peciDgs and dcscrters Of all parties
There two parties, the Tariff, and the 4 n,tarir
Party; but there is Southern PARTY" and there

not the states should elect the Presidents: but demo
cratic People revolt the thought OF must mon in

They will not be bu!lied or GTagooned into the cleo
ton OF any man The peoples candidate must be
brought ont by the people, and if Gen AcI,sov is the
man OF the people, why do the little coern Of no,:ii
clans in ibis state get in such fury when il is
ted that JACKSON is tartf-man and in favor of the
- O0eHS DHt and the construction Of the Constitution
which IS destructive to state rights? Do they imaoinc
that iew men In this state OF eleven votes can dictate
two natives of their stale the one for presle,
the other Tor President, and still hope 10 make
secretary OF war and Il secretary af state and send y
on Tins mission aud on that? Is the whole government

tre last winter, ID W ashington, and let them DENY If
they can, il 1t was not expressly understood that de
motraic candidate, protesting anti tr,56 1rincioles
should be selected and that expressly refused TO
commit themselves TO Gen. JACKSON; and in fact if it
was not objected that he could not concentrate the
votes OF the southern agfCulturaliS.s Nav who, win
the bc'fDV folks say, when they are told ihat at the
very next session Of the legislature the members vii;
ne called on 10 pledge themselves never TO si,pori

anii-tarid meetings throughout the states are EXPRESS

'act u was arranged That Nr. CALHOUN could not
succeed As President, he would not tIo for he ia nj

Add to tins, he has now lost the confidence of both sides

Of Cen JACKSON, must retire to bis farm. To run
him With JACKSON would lose 10 both, Net7 York and
Pennsylvania.
But, Mr. Editor, has the republican party of the
