PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
We are pipsseh to see that the preference of our old
friend Mr.. Richie accords with our own md ,ye no
l.lievc with nineteen twenteths of the people of the u
s. In this region, so far as we have heard an exp,es.
sion OF pubic opinion, IL is unanimous in favor of Mr..
Van Buren,. we do not believe there is 4 man in this
part of the State who prefers Mr.. Calhoun to him
If there 10 sncn an one, we have yet to learn his name
Mr.. Calhoun mas a few friends in Eastern Virrinia.
but they are anout IN proportion to the number of his
friends IN tue Legislature, at the last Rock.

MARTIN VAS BuREy-The whole ssnsck,ed ,b,l,rx,
of Federalism seem 10 be directed al this pure Democrat.
honest ana powerful statesman. Nothing seems too obi
Gus or too iaISe 10 be circulated against HIM, particularly
by the Clay papers. The Conservative organs exhibit the
same spirit, but make their attacks in a it'll different
manner, though not 50 openly and fairly. While the
former abuse and distance Ole himself at TELLING lies
on MIR. Van Buren,; the latter, who are trying 10 gain
admission INTO the Democratic ranks, express fears
that he - not the most popular man tina. will be before
the Democratic National Convention. We would ad.
wise both fhese factions not TO be uneasy The Demo-
Gratis understand them perlectly-they fear Mr.. Van
Buren's popularity, which they know to be greater than
that Of any other mans now in the Union-hence
their vile slanders.-W Aseing .7rgus, .1ug. 3.

The Democrats Of Summit county alone have express

The meeting IN Jackson county, Ohio, adopted The
following Resolutions:
"Resoieed, Tia, Martin Van Buren, was defeated at
The election OF 1910, by a resort TO the foulest and un-
falrest means that ever disgraced an election-lhat he
fell a victim to a conspiracy against Democratic prin-
ciples, the Democratic party, and the good of the entire
country-and, therefore, we concur in opinion, with
The great majority of our political friends throughout
the Y. 3, that justice 10 q man who has suffered for
the sake OF principle, justice to the Democratic party,
which was so dishonesty aud unfairly defeated justice
to the entire country, call aloud for the reelection Of
Martin Van Buren, to the Presidential Office, which he
filled with so much ability, uprightness and advantage
TO the people.
"R~ssoired, That in supporting The election of Mar.
Tin Van Buren,, we follow the glorious examples set
by the Democracy in former years. When Thomas
Jefferson, the great original champion of Democracy,
was defeated by the Vaccinations Of the Federaisis, in
1876, the Democracy did not abandon him, but rallied
upon hun again. and indicated their principles, and
saved the country by elec,ing him TO fhe Presidency in
1900. When Andrew Jackson, that venerable and
ever &c. be-honored patriot, was defeated by Federalism
IN 1874, The Democracy did not abandon him, but again
gave him their hearty and heart felt support, and res.
cued the country from Federal rule by the election Of
l523. And 80 Martin Van Buren, was defeated by Fee.
deralsD in ls40-hut the day Of retribution IS al hand,
aud let the National Convention nominate him again,
as their fathers did Jefferson aud Jackson, and the ban.

and success.
"Resoiced, That while we, as good Democrats, will
give our hearty support 10 the candidate for the Presi
dency, who may be nominated by the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, we, for The reasons we have before
given, desire that Van Buren, may be the man.
M~MsE-York District Convention. A Democratic
Convention, composed Of Delegates from York county,
and that portion Of Oxford which, together, compose
the first Congressional District of Maine, assembled al
Limerick, on Wednesday, 2nd inst. Martin Van Blu
rem was declared TO be the first choice of the Conven.
ton, as the candidate for the Presidency. Joshua Her.
rick, Esq of kennebunkport was nominated as The
candidate for Congress from the York District. Mr..
Herrick is n sound Democrat, a man with a clear head
and a warm heart, and will be trIumphantly elected al
the polls in S September. Hon. Chas. n. Cogswell, Of
South Berwick, was chosen Delegate to the National
Convention. MIR. G. was a member of the Convention
and 10 a Van Buren, Democrat of the right stamp
There were no Tyler men in the Convention.
Cumbr!opd District, -Me.-The Democratic Conven.
ton for this D.s:rict was held al Cray, on Thursday
last, and the Hon. Robert T. Dunlnp nominated as the
candidate for Congress. Levi Morrill,, Esq, of West
brook, a siaunch Van Buren, Democrat, was chosen the
delegate to the National Democratic Convention.
Gray Conrention.-The vote was 81 for the Van
Buren, delegate-30 for the Calhoun. The Eastern
Argus saws, There was a very spirited contest for a
delegate to the Baltimore Convention, and as il ap.
pears by the proceedings, a much closer vote than any
body apprehended, up 10 the morning on which the
Convention met. We feel safe in saying, that there
we're no. really more than IL delegates who went there
as Calhoun men; and by what means their candidate
received 80 votes, is a mystery 10 many.-"Mr. Clapp
(Mr. Lew Woodbury's brotherin-law,) IS personally
popular. He stands well with the Democracy every
way: and we regret exceedingly that he should lead off
the forces oil Mr. Calhoun in this county. Had 1t not
been for Inn, Mr.. Calhoun would not have had q do
zen votes at the Gray Convention " Tins
State is entitled to nine delegates to the Baltimore
Convention, Thus far, FIVE, who will vote for Mr.. Van
Buren. have been elected, and none who will vote for
Mr.. Calhoun. There are Of course, four more to De
elected. Two of these are sure 10 be for Mr.. Van Blu.
rem, which will make seven, in ell. He may have
them all. but we incline 10 the opinion that Mr.. Cal
houn will have one, and Mr.. Van Buren, eight. The
Democracy Of Name, as between Calhoun and Van
Buren,, are at least three quarters for Van Buren,
There is no doubt on this point
