Democratic principles for long time vacillatng
10 their order of battle the for the
sdency--whether they would have General Conven-
uon nominate their strongest their leader and
rally under Standard sticking the upon the dec
sion oithe Peopleor whether, by choosing sectional
didates they would avail of local
Influences dssipate the People and take the
decision from them the House of representatives, were
the alternatives which held the triple Party in suspense
until the present sitting of Congress. Any of their
prominent men, believe would have embraced cheer
fully the honor of leading their frorn hope; but the
secondary class constituting body OF eighty members
in the House, representing the blue light Federalism of
the North the Bank Federalism of the middle section,
and Notification Federalism of the South, have finally
adopted scheme the of which depends dra
ing the election from the People, themselves in the

that If the Opposition candidates each 10 succeed
in carrying their Electoral Tickets in the several States
where they are presented, aud the Democratic candi-
dates were defeated in them all, that election would
be made by the People Ii is conceded however even
by The Opposition, that Mr. Van Buren, will obtain the
vote of several States in each of the districts assigned
TO the separate tickets of White Webster and Harrison

OF sectional and personal Influences operating far in
favor of their candidates. prevent the Republican
candidate from obtaining the requsile maorty and thus
devolve the election on the House.
