our only apprehe ns0n springs from the peculiar views

S ,me OF them say, that they will not support MI van
Others say, that they will support only their
fayor,e candidate Several OF his active friends j.
tend that unless the Convention be constituted oil dele
gates elected by DISTRICTS they will go into the Con
yention or will not ABIDE by lis nomination How IL
possible that we get smoothly along with such IN
compromising materials: They may carry out their
own yiews-in any State where they have the majority
they may recommend their own mode by argumen To
the adoption of olhers-but must be excused for
saving, also, that it would argue less regard for
harmony and for union, than IS compatible with the
safety of our cause, if they were ely
to insist upon excluding any of the delegates whom
any Of the States nigh; elect according TO their own
usages, or pleasure What would it show An ad
herence TO certain form ?-or an adhesion TO n
certain man, in preference to the prime pies the
safety nf the Republic !; Would il be right, would
it be in the spirit of harmony, for the friends OF
one candidate to oppose the of all the res;-
for decided minority Of a party to attempt to
give laws 10 the majority? Some of the friends of Mr..
Calhoun, declare that they will not go into Con.
yention here the Delegates Of the Syracuse Couven-
ton take their seats Will they object in like manner
to the Delegates from Pennsylvania, or Georgia. or
Alabama, or Missouri, OF perhaps, Michigan, Connec-
tcui, &c, &c, We hope the ''sober second though"
of these gentlemen will prevailWe hope, that false
pride ofopnion, pride of consistency no false sense
of honor, fear of appearing TO abandon the falling
fortunes Of any man, will induce them TO persevere
in such course. Pride We ought 10 have no
price, but in the glory of our country, Honor! We
should aspire to honor, but the establishment of
our principles, and the prosperity of the people. So
deeply seated this sentiment in the bosom of the Re-

without sail set or the appearance of paddle wheels,
steam pipes and the other usual evidences of being
propelled ty steam pawer.
AT n quarter 10 three o'clock, the Great Western
came down the East RIVER: and when about South Of
