MIR. OLMSTED'S REPLY.

George Il. Clayton Esq. delivered speech in
the "og cabin" in this town on Saturday last,
and before he closed invited any democrat pres.
enl to reply to the arguments he had laid down,
and the positions he had assumed. c. G.. Dim.
stead Esq of our city, promptly accepted the in.
vI'ahon' and appointed Wednesday last, the day
"hcr he would make his reply, aad ",he house
IN which the invitation was given and accepted"
as the place where the discussion should be held
we were present en- the occasion, and listened
with great pleasure for more than two hours,to the
clear aud lorcible remarks Of Mr. OImstead. His
principle objects were TO establish two points
winch Ind been controverted by Mr. Clayton
ISL The Constitutional power Of the president to
make removals from office, I'd. the federalism Of
General Harrison. The first Of these points, he
established beyond all controversy, by documep.
tary evidence, which proved that the first Con.
gress' composed in great measure of men who
framed the constitution, had decided it as prln.
c'p'e OF our government that the appointing and
rsmor'ng power necessarily resides in the Exec.
H''Ve' Equally conclusive and satisfactory, do
we think, was his argument to prove that Gen.
HARRISON was (edeast. lie acknowledged
that he had belonged to that party--lha, he WINS
ORIGINALITY ledefalIsi, but that he had left the
party upon the bank question, and had Joined the
democrats in their attempt to establish an indie.
pendent treasury, and SAID he, had Gen Harri.
son come out as explicitly as Mr. Van Buren, has
done, against a bank aud in favor OF this preat
measure OF telorm,i should have been for him aad
against his opponent, knowing as do that he
(Gen, H. IS a ederG!is. und all my early pary
associations being in his Iayor." But satisfactory
and conclusive as Mr. Olmsead's arguments m.
on this head seemed to US to be, we do no, think
he went far enough. lie might have " clinched
tho nail" by quoting Hsrrison'S votes and spcech-
es in The Ohio Legislature, in the House of Rem.
resenlatlvcs and the Senate ofthe United States.
But Mr. Oimstead's reply was "a clnchern any
way,and we were greatly edited and pleased with
II. He dealt his blows, il is true, on both sides,
bu' we thia& the wings rather 60; the worst off,
We well know the position Of Col. Olmsted
and the link which binds bis actions to the Demo.
cratic party. As yet no has but inserted the en-.
tellng wedge, and we assert that before he con.
cludes this discussion he will drive il to the baft.

MISUNDERSTANDING Joseph A. Marshall
OF Kemper Co. has withdrawn his name from the
democratic electoral ticket for Pre- siden,. We
are requested to state that no change of opinion
or dlmnuon of zeal in tho democratic cause has
induced HIM to pursue this course. Private bu
sness mperatycly requires his absence for some
time, from the State. This alone has induced him
TO send IN his resignation to the Central commit.
lee lie does not think that it would be doing
Justice to the party to suffer his name to be con.
ilnued on the ticket, when it will be absolutely
impossible (or him TO be present, and take part
IN the contest which is going on. While he thus
yields to an 'mperious necessity, be wishes some
other good and true democrat to be substituted IN
ia his place, which will no doubt be forthwith
done by the Ceniral COMMITTEES.

GENTS; The principal object had in view in
addressing the Citizens of Columbus on Wednes.
day last, was to disabuse the public mind relative
to the following assertion made by gentleman
of the wing party in q recent speech -" That
there was but one old ederaIIs in this county and
that he acted with the democratic party, as the
principles and measures Of that party were identi'
cal with those Of the old federal school" This al.
luson was understood to be intended for me.
had hoped that in my remarks Of Wednesday
last | clearly defined the position ! occupied to-
wards the federal and democratic parties; but,
from all learn of the misrepresentation that are
circulating in this community, of what then said,I
deem i, due to myself and the party with which |
am now acting to reiterate, through the press,
what then stated.
said was u lederalist Of the old school, and,
as federalls, had been in good company, for
claim, and trust proved satisfactorily, thai both
Gen. Washington and Gen. HamiIton belonged
to the federal party. The advocacy Of UNIrED
STATES BANK; has always been federal meas
ure. On this isolated point disagreed with the
federal party; for, after mature delbeIation, |
cane TO the conclusion that it was nexpedient
and unconstitutional, and, therefore, on this aues
ton, ! agree with the democratic party look
upon the issue now before the people to be BANK
or NO BANK as it vas in the days Of Hamilton and
Jefferson This question being, as conceive, of
paramount importance to all others, | now act
with the democratic party in their opposition 10 a
UNITED STATES BANK, and consequently am in
favor Of an INDEPENDENT Treasury, which is
admitted by all parties to be strictly constitution.
al. stated further, that had General Harrison
come out FIVE weeks ago, as plainly as Mr. Van
Buren, had against United States Bank should
have supported him, as he Gen. Harison) is
fully identified with the doctrines and measures u
the old federal party.

gentlemen who have been unwltingly or wruIy

divldusly, TO initiate their example.
hesoired, That the generous liberality the untir-
ing devotion, and the judicous plans Of the Balti-
more COMMITTEES Of Arrangements demand their most
nearly Acknowledgements.
The President having temporarily retired
from the chair, Mr.. GILL, Of Ohio, on behalf
~ the Committee of Chairmen, offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopted by accla-
hesoirsd, That the unanimous thanks Of this Con-
e"iISn " and they are hereby rendered to JoHN "
FOR the promP, digni6ed, and successful manner in
winch ne mad presided over its deliberations.
Mr., MCMAHON Immediately appeared and ex-
pressed his Acknowledgements Of the great Dig
nifty which had been conferred upon him, calling
him to preside over such an assemblage. He
then proceeded to speak Of the great objects and
obligations Of the Opposition, at this period, in
a strain Of fervid and commanding eloquence.
He concluded, by saying, that as the organ of
the Convention, he had not felt at libery hither-
to present any proposition Of his own but as
they were about to separate, after two days pass
ed in manner which would forever be remem-
bered, with pleasure and PRIDE by all the mem
bers Of this Convention, and as he sincerely
wished they should all be permitted to meet
once more, he would submit resolution, that
when this Convention adjourns it should adjourn
to assemble in WASHINGTON ON the 4h Of
March, ls4l, to attend the Inauguration Of Pres
dent WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON!
We need scarcely add that this resolution was
adopted amidst the most enthusiastic acclama-
tons; and then the Convention adjourned.
But, at night, il being understood that num-
Der Of the most distinguished speakers who had
addressed the Convention, were still in the city,
large concourse assembled about eight o'clock
in Monument Square, and had again the gratif-
cation oflistening TO several gentlemen from the
steps Of the house of REvERDy JOHNSON, Esq
Among the speakers were Mr.. Wickiffe, Of
Kentucky, Mr. Crittenden, Of Kentucky, Mr.
Pitts of Ball. Mr.. Wallis, Of Bait. Mr.. Pope
of Ky, Mr.. Bell, of Tennessee, and Mr. Patter-
son, of New York.
Mr.. Reverdy Johnson closed the evening with
most animated and eloquent address, after
which the assemblage dispersed quietly to their
quarters.

THE MEMBERS OF THE CONVENTION
AT WASHINGTON.

We have the qualification to state that very
many members Of the National Convention are
now on visit to this city, where, we are sure,
they will meet with the greatest attention and
hospitality. A large gathering Of the friends
Of Harrison and Reform took place yester-
day at the City Hall, for the purpose of re-
ceiving in proper manner our patriotic friends.
The meeting was opened by P. r. Fendall,
Esq, Chairman of the Executive Committee of
the Republican Committee Of 76 of the District
Of Columbia, in few appropriate observations.
which he concluded by nominating Gen. Wal
ter Jones as Chairman Of the meeting.
Gen. Jones, on assuming the part assigned
him, stated that he was instructed by the Re-
publican Committee of 76 to bid warm and
hearty welcome to the very large number of the
delegates to the National Convention of Young
Men at Baltimore, who honored the City Of
Washington by their presence He congratu-
lated them in the name of the Committee, and
in behalf ofthe citizens Of the District of Colum-
bia, opposed to the election Of Martin Van Blu
rem on the union and cordially which marked
all the proceedings Of the Convention, and on
the suspicious assemblage of such an immense
number of the most respectable and efficient citi-
Gems of the Union.
Gen. Jones unclaimed the attention of his
audience, in most spirited and eloquent address
Of about twenty minutes, in which he took
rapid survey Of the course of destructive mea-
sures Of the last and present Administration,
and concluded by cheering on the gallant young
Wings there assembled, in their patriotic deter
mination to rescue the beloved institutions of
their country from the hands Of the spoilers.
Messrs. Corwin of Ohio, Graves of Kentucky,
Tyler Of Connecticut, Briggs of Massachusetts,,
Morgan of New York, and Waddy Thompson
Of South Carolina, were successfully called to the
stand by the meeting, and delighted the attentive
assemblage by displays of eloquencc, wit pathos,
and argument, seldom equalled on similar occa-
sions.
The meeting then adjourned to re-assemble at
8 O'Clock, when it was expected that additional
of Congress would have arrived

THE NATIONAL LOCO FOCO CON-
VENTION

For the nomination of candidates for the Presi-
dency and Vice Presidency, opened its session at
Baltimore, on Tuesday and adjourned yesterday.
1t was slim and spiritess affair, directed prin-
cipally by Isaac HILL Felix Grundy, and few
office holders and Office hunters. The number
of delegates did not exceed 200, and their meet
ing at the Assembly Rooms was swelled perhaps
to four hundred and fifty, by spectators. II was
chiefly distinguished for its illiberal and malignant
spirit against Log Cabins and the Harrison par
~, and for its ncapacity, through its own inhe-
rent discordant elements to nominate candidate
for the Vice Presidency, The several friends of
Messrs Forsyth, King and Johnson were defeat
ed in their efforts, and did not hesitate to express
openly their modification. Aletter from Colonel
Johnson was read, which was remarkable for ITS
amiable magnanimity, and its equlvocal defer
ence to the apparent wish to throw nm over
board This convention was dead failure
