Convention in session in city, for the purpose OF
nominating candidate for the Vice Presidency The
extraordinary fact that the members from the southwark
pursued in the regular route through Washington city,
this place, is adduced evidence that they visited
that place for the purpose OF receiving instructions
TO the particular individual whose nomination would be
most agreeable the Presidents and then follows yollcy
oil te usual vulgar and disgusting slang about club law
and the kitchen cabinet with repetition Of the oft
peaed ISLANDERS about the President being surrounded with
DULLES aud bravadoes, who by of threats and agel-
lsons enforce obedience TO his will in all things, up
all occasions, and that the members OF the
passed through that city for the purpose Of there be any
meaning in the acle OF being forced into obedience
to his will in the nomination to be made by the appca-
ton OF the discipline alleged TO be usually applied effect
his purposes And yet il the assertions of the Chronicle
and other kindred prints to be considered entitled
degree OF credit whatever, would been not
only unnecessary for the members of the Convention to
be logged into the support of the Presidents views
that was quite unnecessary for them receive
umaon respecting his wishes upon the nominations since
they have constantly avcrred that the President would not
consent 10 have any other than Martin Van Buren,
placed upon the ticket and that the members OF the Con.
vsnton have been selected for their subservency to the
known wishes of the President upon this point.
When we look the names of the members of the
Convention, find among them the brightest ornaments
OF the land and such array of talents responsibility
as has but seldom been together in this any other
country and no man, who had decency respect
Tor HIMSELF would attempt TO speak OF them i'm any other
terms than those of respect But il has become regular
system. with the Clay men, heap upon the best men i'm
the country and those who rendered the most por-
tant services, such low and vulgar abuse would de-
grade Billingsgate ish-wop This has become SO
that any regard to their SANDERS; but their abuse
regarded the highest praise, it affords evidence
thatthc who's the subject sufficient by prominent
and worthy TO become mark for their poisoned arrows 10
be lcveed at
But the truth is that the Opposition to
ration and the of abuse with which the
columns oil their papers teenDg nothing than
the OVERLOOKING OF the bile with which they are charged
and which can find vent in other way. The Conven-
oon now In session in our city, is doubt serious
sore TO the actious spirits with which the land is filled
and who using their utmost efforts produce distrac
roced to divide the Union, If they produce the
Impression upon the public mind that it the result OF
the measures OF the administrations and doubt not that
the result OF the deliberations of the Convention will af
feet their hearts much its assembling together
pains their eyes Better feelings and finer spirits
VIC in any body of men, than are ewing
cd by the members of the Convention. They come
together the advocates of the great and sacred pn-
ciples upon which institutions are founded and by
which the Administration is influenced in its measures
Of tho party for the Vice Presidency, the man who
shall appear TO be most generally the choice of the peo-
pe and who will be worthy TO be supported
nection with the great and good chief the head
oil government and whom the people delight honor;
and their nomination will be received throug
try with such feelings will draw a support in its IA
which will teach the disorg anzng ctious sprs
who labouring produce mischief and difficulty in tho
country that they need never hope to receive
nance or support from free and intelligent community

are the main changes; and though points are
improvements it is to be feared that they do not add TO the
chance OF settling the question.
