ought to wait patiently and hear something from
the States that will have TO carry the nominee
Of the National Convention. No one can be-
Leve when the iilcaa4tatioa begins again, ihal
Mr. Van Buren, can change the thirteen hois-
sand majority in his State. Before they could
have jected Mr. Van Buren, they must have
duly considered his case after having appealed
to their " sober second thoughts" thirteen thou
sand of the people of his native Stale passed
judgment against him. Is it kelly that they
will recant and go for him?
This experiment has just been tried in Ten
nessee by Governor Polk, Mr.. Van Buren's
great champion in that State and the people
vetoed the proposition of reinstating an elected
Executive specially al the very next election
after his election. Governor Polk had but few
thousand TO change but he was beaten more
signally than at his first rejection In New
YoJk Mr.. Van Buren, has the enormous maJorl-
ty of $4,000 TO change. When men have thus
will not eat up their words Immediately, and
that, too, without any new cause shown.
| shall close this letter, with my solemn pro-
test against the Democrats Of a State who were
beaten 5000 with Mr.. Van Buren, at their
head attempting again TO palm their routed can
didate upon US as the leading General of the
Democracy. They want a man who has not
yet been wounded in the race; and the party
lciH hare such one in defiance Of the petty in
lrgues of a broken down and trodden under
foot corps of political hacks, who are now bust
ly trying to f. oil the party into the nomination OF
Mr.. Van Buren,, in the hopes OF his succeeding,
that they may all be reinstdted in their Offices.
The Syracuse Convention had no right to elect
delegates and the protesting Democrats, who
desire to have the voice Of the Democ acy fresh
from the people Of each District, will no, allow
themselves to be frustrated in their holy pur-
pose,of giving Us a candidate that we can car
| ny beyond all doubt. The Democracy will not
have a candidate whose whole pathway would
be Uttered with the relics Of former def at
| Mr.. Van Buren, buried the hopes of the party
in the grave of his defeat, where they were
slumberng, when Senator Wright, in political
sackcloh and ashes, wrote his letter to his con-
stituenls that was clouded over with the deep
est gloom. Nor did he or his friends wear the
smile of hope till the Veto of President Tyler
resuscitated the whole party. When it reached
the ears Of the hero of New Orleans, at the II
mitage he broke forth in loud praise Of Tyler,
the noble Vrginian Of the true Jefersonian
school, who killed the Bank. Mr.. Van Buren,
praised this great act of President Tyler.
While in New York the loud roar Of the cannon
was heard at the great jubilee of Democracy in
honor of the Veto. And in Albany, the Demo-
Gratis in the highest state of enthusiasm, march
ed in procession singing political hozannas TO the
man who, Ike jackson, came to the rescue OF
the country whenthe Wings tried to enslave
our party by charlering great money monster
With the DEMOCRACY thus invgorated, the par
| ~ has a right to demand candidate who car
still keep this spirit eHhusa slcally alive. We
therefore say, give US Tyler, Johnson, Buchan
an, Calhoun, or Cass-a1y one Of them will leat
us to victory. But don't give US a candidate
whose name is synonymous with Presid, ntia
defeat" | entertain no personal dislike toward
Mr. Van Buren,. He is an accomplished gen
tleman, fine scholar, and a profound statesman
But these are not the only requisites for candi
date for the Presidency. The party must hav
man for President who has all these characte
rislcs, aud, at the same time, an enthusiastic
hold upon The affec ions of the whole Democrat
ic family. With such a candidate, our caLs,
will gloriously triumph.
