The Unanimous Party
When, in the course Of human events, any po
litica party thinks proper to split, 1t is obviously
nobodys business but their own. The issue rest.
with them, and it certainly does not become then
opponents TO nterpose, either to reconcleor aggra
yate the differences between them. But we hear
so much, just now, from the Albany Argus of the
perfect, loving, brothcrly harmony that is said tt
pervade the Loco-Foco party throughout this
State, that we have watched the evidences Of il
with curiosity and interest And strange as il
may appear, our two eyes see the matter in a
light somewhat different from that which presents
itself to the hundred of the Argus. The proceed
ings of the Syracuse Convention were Jared by
more of discord than apparent in the report Of
the Regency organ, and they have not proved so
satisfactory to the great body of the party as VIC
were led by its predictions to anticipate. The
District System was not voted down without some
remonstrance; and though the Regency division
Wanted of the result as signal triumph a CON-
plete prostration of their foe they arc not allowed
to consider the warfare at an end, and to enjoy in
peace the sweets Of victory.
We find that the friends Of Mr.. Calhoun, in
protesting against the Regency tyranny there
displayed, were in sober earnest. They have fol.
lowed up their action then by issuing an address
to the People OF the United States, which we
find in the Evening Post, declaring their dissent
from the doings of the Convention and setting
forth, briefly and pointcdly, the reasons which
induce them TO prefer Mr.. Calhoun TO Mr.. Van
Buren, as candidate for the Presidency 1t is
well-written, frank and perfectly open in its de-
carations, and especially severe in its denuncia
tons, direct and implied, of the intriguing Ex
President. They avow that they mean all that
they sag, and all they nsinuatc: and then de-
clare that their candidate "has never been hack
neyed IN tie bypaths Of merccaary politics, nor
intimate in their mysteries, nor bound up in close
correspondence and reciprocal obligation with all
the inire-pullcrs at all the ends of their immense
ramifcations' He has won his way, they say,
ssNor bg craft but by its absence: not by non
committat bat by fearless advocacy of uncquivo
cal opinions" These hits show that the true
character of Mr. Van Buren, is as perfectly under
stood, and his petty, contemplate intrigue a,
thoroughly detestcd, by honest and candid men o
his own party as by the Wings. The great mas:
of the Loco-Focos entertain no respect for him
because they know him but he has always thus
Ear been forced upon them by the party machine
ry, of which he is so skilful a master, and they
have upheld him because was deemed construc
tive treason to do otherwise. 1t is against Mr.
Van Buren's principles ever TO express decided
