amend by nominating "honesl" John
Davis OF Massachusetts, out and out, as
the choice Of the Wings Of Ohio, for
the Vice Presidency, on the ticket with
Mr.. Clay. The amendment was carried
with a shout that shook the Court house
10 its foundations. The resolutions
were then adopted with another dealen-

the hearts Of all present.
CLAY and DAVIS are therefore for.

We shall hang out that banner directly,

The conduct Of the late r%esIgning
members Of The Legislature was most
cordially and explicitly appreciated by
every act aud expression Of the Con-
V%entlon III all the stages Of its proceed

OF the people, meet with a more trium.

great body Of the people, than has the
resignation Of the Wing members of
The Legislature We said when it

taken 10 protect their rights from in
Vasion aud sacrifice, and the result
proves that our estimate Of their spirit
and intelligence was not overdrawn,-
The infamous designs Of the selfish and
iactlous demagogues and oonspiralors,
whose atteppt 10 dIsiranchise the peo-

general Ieprobation. does but embody
and give form and voice 10 the u%niver-
sal sense OF the people.
If the Locoloco leaders entertained
any hopes OF carrying the State, or our
friends felt any fears for our complete
success in October, before this conven-

entirely dissipated by this demonstra

the plan Of the most efficient remedy
1t is not by sinking down like galley
slaves, and tameIy submitting TO the
burdens which Sohn Tyler and his new
allies may have the "conscience" to i'm
pose upon their shoulders. 1t is not by
J ielding TO the cormorant demands of
the deslruclives Of "three" and "eight
dollars a day and roast beef"-they
have tried that, and The more they ap.

remedy lies in the ballot boxes, and the
people KNOW 1T. To that the true
friends Of their country take their up
peal. Its verdict will consign many a
brawling demagogue and worthless
spoils hunter 10 the obscutity to which
he belongs. The Wing Young Mems
Convention may be relied upon as the
infaIIibIe lorerunner OF a revolution
which will ogaIn bring honest men into

for a system of legislation which shall
once more protect the people in the en-

tiles to public liberty and open up new
prospects Of returning prosperity TO a
suffering country.
