the great satisfaction Of the almost entire
convention, BY which the selection was
unanimously confirmed. The other thir-
ty four delegates, representing the thirty
four members Of Congress, were in fact
selected upon the district plan; that iS,
each Congressional district selected itS
own delegate from tie own district, save
in the city Of New York, where the en-.
tire delegation from the city selected the
four national delegates 10 which the city
iS entitled, one, however, being located
in each district. Col Young, in refer

POPULAR REBUKE OF THE LATE
WHIG CONGRESS.

What lesson may federal wings learn
in their defeat in the Congressional cleo
tons! The Coon Congress, whose term
of service expired on the 4,h Of March
last, was the Congress that came in with
'TippecanOe and Tyler toO,' in that day
Of whig jollificalion Of lS40. Il was the
Congress that gave Mrs. Harrison twenty
Eve thousand dollars for nothing--thal
saddled the country with 4 wicked and
oppressive tariff that made repeated
attemps to saddle il also with natiOnali
bank.-the Congress that refused justice
to ihe patriot JacksOn--that reslricted
the right of free discussion in the adop>
ton Of the odious one hour rule-the
Congress that increased the national ex'
penditures and created government
debt. How have the people rebuked
them! How Shamefully have they been
beaten! Many of them on return to
their constituents, skulked from render
ing any account Of their stewardship snd
declined reelection. Those who had
the impuJence and the bOldness 10 offer
themselves again to the people as their
servants, have been rejected with scOrD
aud indgnstiOn. How nObly have th Q
people VlndIcated themselvesi How.
righlsously have they punished the feder
