calculate upon our divisions, are 'counung without

conciliatory spirit IN ranks. Thanks even to the
exer,ions Of the Wings. They are serving US, more
than they are serving themselves They are scatter

Democratic Associations by their side. lfihey rally
their ranks SO will the Democrats The more strength
they display, the struggles they make, the more
are impressed with the necessity OF union among
ourselves. Their weight is like the superintendent

Inenls more duraby the greater the pres
sure the stronger stands the arch Every sign indeed
TO show that with very few exec tions the Re-
publican party will rally around the nominee Of the Bal
timore Convention. When the issue is made up between
n. Clay and any Democat-and when 1t seen, that we
must unite upon one candidate, IN order TO defeat the
Federal aspirant with his National Bank Protective
Tariff, Assumption, and latitudnous construction of
the Constitution, who can hesitate Tor one moment to
yield his first choice, and unite with his brethren IN
cause, upon which depends Tor years perhaps the ber
ties and Constitution of country? "Support the
nominee"--is the secret Of strength, and will be
the of our success Who will 60 over 10 Henry
Clay, except some treacherous renegade, who will add
strength 10 no party:-who will fold his arms in neu-

These are the Impressions which have lately re-
ceved from what we hear from the country and from
what We see around We are happy TO hear the
sa me accounts from the Southwest The Mobile Re-
gser of the 9Th inst has the following cheering para
gra phi this subject:
'sWe are erahed see by proceedings of Democratic
meetings in The Interior that the efforts OF the Grant ura
between the friends .f Mr. Van Buren, and Mr.
Calhoun have not made so deep an impression rs II vas feared
fcrences Sir. Van Buren, decided the most prompt
pledges given support Mr. Calhoun the romnce If the
Conventions and Of the counties Of South Alabama
preference majority Of the party Is for Mr. Calhoun
have bern paid the character Of Mr. Van Buren,
and assurances given that as The candidate oil me Convention
he will cordially supported This is the spirit which VIII pro-
harmony and victory Ii hopes do not deceive great

prejudice would hold out against the general decision
Of the party break up by seon ~ the :. s
its power that fall hee the common enemy and oil is
be found to he small stripped of their power 10 do
mischief by distinct development OF their purposes and The sui
cidal tendency Of their conduct"
In connection with this matter We lay before our rea'
ders the following excellent article from the last
"Lynchburg Republican" Thanks TO our friend De
Witt for the liberal sentiments which he expresses, and
for the cheering information he gives US OF the harmo
ny and union of the Republicans in his quarter
"Becanse the Democra 5 o! Lynchbdrg have thought
proper organize their soc;aton upon the principle
o! "opposlon TO Henry Clay and the Wing p1rty,'
Of our political oppnn, hts strangely conclude that
there is great and irreconcabe difference Of opinion
among in relation 10 The Republican candidates pro-
posed for the Presidency. We beg our Wing friends
not to "lay this fatsrng JUNCTION to their souls
"The Democrats Of Lynchburg and the surrounding
country" not only opposed to the election OF
Henry Clay and to The policy of the Wing party,
but they also in favor of the nominee OF the De-
mocrac National Convention, WHETHER the choice
Of tha, body falls IN buchanan, Johnson, or Cal
houn, Van Buren,, Cass They go Tor the no
mnee, whether the delegates to the Convention De
elected by districts otherwise, and whether the mode
Of voting in that body be by our State
Convention, or per capita The party IN each State
has the undoubl.d right 10 send delegates in their own
waythe right to appoint them in their own way,
lin the language of the Democracy Of Connecticu)
that they have appoint them at all II is not for the
Republicans Of one State 10 dictate the terms upon
which their brethren of another State shall take their
seats as members of the Convention. 1t each State
has the vote in that body TO which 1t is entitled at the
Presidential election and the delegates cast their
respective States in accordance with The wishes OF
majority of their Democratic constituents surely no one
| hos right TO complain, while President and " Pres-
dent Of the U. S. escted, as the Constitution of the
U. States requires they snll be. That the
WILL will be fairly ref, c'fd by the Representatives. Of
the several States the Convention, we en,erain
doubt. Delegates have already been appointed from
New York, Connecticut, &c who will vote for Mr.
Van Buren, their first choice Z; and does 0ny one
doubt that by doing iley will truly represent the
wishes and feelings Of overwhelming majority Of
the party those States We certainly do not,
do believe that such doubt exist in the mind Of
any candid or unprej udced individual. Delegates
have been appointed from Georgia, who will cast the
vote OF that State for Mr. Calhoun; and IS conceded,
that the will of a majority Of The Democracy of Geor
gia will be thus carried into effect. Delegates have
been appointed from Pennsylvania, who will go for
Buchanan their first choice and IS IT mt certain,
that the Of the keystone State will be thereby
fully and fairly heard Representatives have been
chosen by R~publicsn Convention in Kentucky, and
they will doubt carry out the wishes OF majority
OF The party in that State, by voting for Col Johnson
their first choice. In word, delegates have been
appointed to the Convention from different States, end
by different modes-yet, every candid man must ad.
m that they will fairly represent the respective States
by which they have been appointed
"The Republicans of this region then, reposing
proper confidence in their brethren of the several States
having the most satisfactory evidences tina: the Con
veniion will be fairy constuted-have no hesitation
pedgng the n,selves to abide the nomination of said
Convention. Regarding all the Republican gentlemen
who have been proposed for the Presidency as worthy
of that office, they will most willingly and cordially
support that Of them who may be pronounced most
available by the delegates fresh from the 'people OF
the several States. They not like the South Car
DINA editor 10 whom referred in our last, who threat
ened To GO for Mr.. Clay if his favorte be not taken
up-They sincere in their procs ions OF opposition
to Henry Clay and the pol cy of the Whys-ihe South
Carolina editor, and those who occupy his position,
cannot be. The Wings may dismiss their hopes, and
the Democrats their fears, in regard 10 The position OF
the Democracy of Lynchburg and The surrounding
country, who repeat, not only opposed TO the
election o. Henry Clay, but intend TO support the nom
nee of the Democratic party for President
