Mr.. EDIToR: was not little surprised, to
understand thro' my friends, that the Van Buren,
men were harping about want of harmony in
the jackson and johnson Convention, held at
Vandaia on Monday last-so far from it, not only
the resolutions, relative to the nomination of Jack
san and johnson, but every Elector, was unani-
nous; and such was the disposition to harmonic,
that patriotic member of the Convention, Maj.
Eubanks, from White county, who had not only
been recommended by the citizens of several
counties as an Eector, but who had been called
upon by considerable majority of the Conven-
ton to serve in that capacity, magnanimously
Surrendered his pretensons to thatstaton in favor
of Gen. Leech, because he said he hoped that
such an arrangement would promote the patriotic
cause in whichhe was engaged. 1t is true that there
was some sparring upon the subject of a resolu
ton which went to the exclusion Of Mr.. Van Burer
while any other jackson candidate On the
field for the Vice Presidency-which did not re
suit from great difference OF opinion as it rela
ted to the members, but because majority of the
Convention felt disposed to leavesihat matter tt
the people themselves. All wheaspoke agains
the passage of the resolution, took occasion to say
that Mr.. Van Buren, was their last choice.
