The Office seeking deliium called into action ~

That the pleasures Of most Of the rivals are limited to

spostates, enemies and ssnderers-and We much err

believe that the clquesh spirit which Is unfortunately
too prevalent amongst U.S. will effect the object OF final
jsuniou in the Democratic ranks. The attacks and
threatenings Of John NJ Bolts and his associates
the rawlings of the Federal Clay Wings and the bold
declarations of opposition to the measures of the Ad
mnistraton, by the Missouri Senator, have only
tended to elevate the character Of Mr.. Tyler in the
estimation of our community strong disposition
is manifested on the part Of the friends OF Mr. Van

more intelligent men Of his party-but seems likely

common order will arise to-day in the vote for dele

dates for the General Democratic Convention. The
result we will give you tomorrow. The friends OF
Mr. Van Buren, will find the strength Of the Democ-

Among the Democratic candidates for the nomina-
ton, the names of Tyler and Calhoun afford sure
guarantee that the Interests of the country would be
secured by the election of either TO the Presidential
chair. Honors have already been heuped upon the
head of Mr.. Van Buren, with sparng hand. The
high situations Of Ambassador, Secretary of State,
Vice President and President, are surely enough to
f the measure of any mans ambition, if il be limited
to its legitimate bour ds-ift be not it is the duty of
the People in the exercise Of their elective franchise
to teach its possessor that the millions not made
for the one-but the one for miLions-that all men,
with equal qualifications, entitled to equal priv
leges-that the great and governing principle of De-
mocracy is rotation in office-that every effort to

of our political institutions is by strict observance of
the principles which we profess.
Thecase of the "Soners" is the all-exctng sub

parents of young Spencer. Deeply, indeed, do we
feel for the afflicted mother, and could the tears of
