by suggestions OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES as to tho
proper course to be pursued with regard to tho
Vice Presidency, aud which plainly look to Van
Buron as the man. Let the public be on the alert
The Vice President elected this fall, will be Presi.
dent by Jacksons's demise. Pennsylvania will no.,
take Van Burcn-that is clear case. Wilkins or
Dallas, will receive her vote, and the moro GER
tainly, as from the likelihood of Cen Jackson's
death before 1896, a contingency so extrcmelv
probable, the Vice President will become tho Pre-
sident This prospect adds unusual interest to the
election of Vice President and renders it indeed.
OF almost equal consequence with the election of
PRESIDENT itself. The Baltimore Convo ntion, orr.
ginoted with Now Hampshire and the Hon. Isaac

nominate Van Buren,, and those who concur in tho
project of doing SO, may we'll do the thing at
once, and nominlt him as Vice President at Rich

be sent by the Richmond Caucus to Baltimorc-n
vite our political friends in Virginia. to drop the
name of John Sergeant, and so dispose of their
votes as TO deprive Van Buren, of the vote of Yir-

and unanimity. We regard the consolidation Of

OF relief from Congress had totally vanished. We
had now other safety than such should
procure by our own determination as freemen. We
must be content to work out for ourselves our own
salvation from intolerabo oppression and unconsti.
tutional surpation. That Liberty, without which
the Constitution would be an idle mockery-that
equality of the benefits and burdens of tho Govern

without delay in their dofence-to do our duty, and
let the consequences follow. His own opinion was
that circumstances required the call of conven.

THE PEOPLE, the supreme power of the land,
should meet and decide this matter for themselves.
