Ci;y nt Richmond The Sd Monday in March, for the
purpose Of adopting such measures may seem hest cal
cuIaed 10 insure concert Of opinion and unanmty OF
acton in the Republican ranks.
And whereas Ibis meeting hold such Conve to be
highly Important enable the Republican party to carry
rumphantly the great and glorious principles Tor
winch they have always contended-viz: uncompronis
in, o?pnsition National Bank-,o high tariffs rails
rt not for revenue, but for
ton the country by the imPovershmsn Of the Other
,ociganc schemes of Internal Improvement by the Fe
s,,rc.on OF the Constitution, TO make all doubtful
and implied powers gain authority from the ambiguous

such Convention being in oplnnn admirably fitted
for concentrating the whole Republican party OF this
State. and for enabling them 10 battle successfully
against these Federal usurpaons and to plant our STAN
d;i upon Republican ground, as was done on the go'
ricus victory OF lc0O

that minor differences must be burled-that 10 carry
measures We have 10 war for and against men
that in this issue it is already manifest that our war
must be for the election Of Martin Van Buren, TO the
distinguished station he now fills with much ability

and Of the strongest advocates OF Southern rights
