Buchanan, Gen. Cass, OF Col. Johnson to Mr.. |
Van Buren,. And shall they, so large aud re-
spectacle minority have no influence, no voice
in the Convention Il 1, possible, too, that, In
these States where IL j. known the Democracy
favorable 10 either Tyler, Calhoun, Johnson,
Cass or Buchanan, there may be highly re-
spectacle minority preferring van Buren Sup
pose the existence Of Van Buren, minority IN
the Democracy Of each one oil those States, sui
dcientiy slrong 10 control one-third OF the Elec-
toral Distriets-ought not such a minority to-
have voice, free and unlrammelled, in the
Convention 7 Surrey surely the Globe and
Company are pursuing course in this matter
which ought 10, and doubtless will, arouse the
Democracy of the country 10 a just and proper
sense OF duty in the premises. These s,li-ap-
pointed dictalors will BE- made 10 understand
that tue Democrats are neither seris nor slaves
requiring, or crngngy ready to submit 10, arro-
CANT and tyIannical commands fIom any quar-
ter. They wish TO act in harmony and as all
unit in this great matter which is 10 be settled
and they will not be deferred from so doing by
the arts, tricks, or threats of those who have
more ingenuity Than right TO make them
| In regard 10 The lime Of holding the Conven-
ton, the voice Of the Democracy in all drec-
tons, save the late Virginia Cony enlion seems
decidedly in favor Of the Spring Of IA, for va
rious obvious reasons: II will give more Time for
the Democracy TO sean aud compare the merits
of their several favorites, and draw a more cor
rect conclusion as to which they ought to unite
aud rally upon 1t will leave ample time for the
campaign TO be conducted in: Aud more than
all, it will disarm the Wings who hope TO have
in The Democratic candidate if he should be
brought out in November next, a target to d.
rect their batteries against for the space of six
months prior 10 their nomination Of a candidate
who will answer a target for US TO perforale.
| After bringing our candidate into the field some
six months in advance of the Wing gentlemen
and subjecling him thereby to their broadsides
during that time, while we might be pouring
our grape and canister into Mr.. Clay, as was
the case for half year previous to the Har-
risburg nomination of Gen. Harrison, they
might once more, with all imaginable GOODNESS.
cast aside "Harry Of the West" and put in
nomination some military hero-possibly Gen.
Scott-who knows!
Ii is conso!ing. however, 10 know that The
great Democratic family are verging more and
more, upon this subject, towards union harmo-
ny, and concert Of action. Discussions and
jealousies which have been here and there par
tally fomented by the selfish and unpatrioiic
few who aspire 10 lead the Democracy to de-
IL lo., L..
be leaders to victory on former occasions, are
giving way TO better influences. The unjust
and vindictive course of the Globe and few
of its adjuacts against the Democratic measures
which President Tyler is striving, wi h an no
mes, zeal, to carry out, when the great body of
the Democratic journals throughout the coun-
try either refrain from censuring, or openly and
warmly appreciate those measures, has caused,
and is causing all honest Democrats TO exa-
mine the matter and to ask themselves
why is this so? They know il is but
short time since the Globe, the Pennsy lvanian
and the MoDne negister were all app,audlng the
Presidents conduct to the very echo, while note
Tor nothing that he has done less Democratic
than that which he had done when they volun-
|
certed chorus. they abuse his every act without
stint or qualification. Well may the honest
Democrats everywhere ask why is This? Do
thee organs fear 10 trust the Democracy in the
matter of the nomination OF candidate for the
Presidency until The Spring of '447 Do they
think the Delegates selected and trusted by the
Democracy in all parts oil the country will be
incompetent to agree upon nomination, or that
they will be incapable Of judging and deciding
upon what is night at that time so well as these
gentlemen editors now ? IL would seem so.
One thing is certain: the Globe and Compa-
ny will not be suffered TO distract the Demo
cratic party but if the d. liberations of the CON
templated Convention should chance to be
marred, the Democracy will not fail to point at
once TO The true authors of the attempted mis-
chief. Lownprs
