It IS on the wane, and we might say, without
the apprehension Of being coniradicted by
future events, that it will ere long dwindle
INTO minority so powerless, as not TO be a.
bic TO make even formidable struggle
Though the victory Of the National Repub.
lican party has not been so signal, as many
of our sanguine friends had anticipated and
hoped lo., yet when they have reflected upon
the odds and influences against which our
party had to contend; they will at once per-
ceive. the victory has fully equailed all rea-
sonable calculation. 1t has answered every
present, useful purpose; it has enabled our
friends to elect the Senator to Congress: 1t
has demonstrated the downward destiny of
the Jackson party in the state, and that the
people Of Kentucky will give their support

BALTIMORE CONVENTION.

In publishing the proceedings of the friends
of Henry Clay in Fauquier county, the op-
portunity is favorable for saying "a word or
Two on the subject Of the Baltimore Cenven-
ton
We noticed with the respect we SO since
rely feel for the source, the several calls in
the Lynchburg Vlrginian upon us, Tor our
sentiments in relation 10 the prop,iety of
sending Delegates from Virginia ;ol}altimore,
and If we did not respond To the call at the
time, it was because those sentiments were
undecided.
We confess that at first, we felt indispos
ed to that Convention. for a number of rea-
sons which it is unnecessary now to recite.
Those reasons have been fully communicated
nv letter to a number OF individuals IN dIfte-
rent parts OF the State, and they still have
their influence upon our mud Nevertheless,
movements hay,ng been made IN different
counties to send Delegates to the Convention,
and union beng ali essential to success, VIC
cheerfully abandon opposition to the Con-
vention, aud proclaim our readiness to unite
heart ard hand with its friends.
We still nrefer the mode of nominating by
a caucus, as more efficient la concentrating
opinion, and from the representative espon
| sinilty of the agents carrying more weight,
than volunteer Conventions La smooth and
ordinary times, none have been more hostile
to caucusses, or labored harder to shake off
the yoke which they bad imposed upon the

gerous beresies threaten 1t DIT the clrcumfe-

Ipeope, and if need be, as well prepared we

BY single thread, and fate, or rather On
Ibrid,ed human passions, stancing ready by

great and vital interests at stake, would a
