When the mere position of our party, its front
and aspect, before yet movement has been
made, can cxtort language like this from the
most cautious and wary of our opponents, what
Wing can for an instant cherish despondlng
doubt The very name of CLAY, ere it has been
even brought before National Convention, be-
fore he has accepted any nomination, or sgnlfed
willingness to receive it, the bare prospect that
he will be put forward for the highest office in
the gift of the people, carries alarm into the enc
my's ranks such as they have not been wont to
feel even in the thickest of the fight.
The great object Of the article, though it is
very fairly concealed under deep anxiety for the
good of the Loco oco cause, is to urge upon the
party the nomination Of Mr.. VAN buren,. The
action of the Syracuse Convention is deliberately
defended, and the proposition to elect delegates to
the National Convention by districts is utterly
secuted The following passages, which occur
at the close of the article, wear very much the
form of threats Of revenge upon MIR. Calhoun, If
his friends shall dare to follow up the course of
action they have marked out:
If the choice of the Convention should fall Mr. Van
buren, and the friends Of Mr. CALHOUN should then hold
back from giving to the Party Ticket the Jealous sup

those to whom it is addressed remains to be seen.

Meanwhile the Wings look calmly on all
'bde their time.
II The Loco. Focos met last evening to no
inmate candidates for the Assembly; but at
late hour they had not even coHlmenced. They
were bnsily engaged in deciding on the claims OF
conteuding delegates from the Wards. D. K. +
JONES has been nominated by that party for the
Senate.

Wing has also been elected on the second trial.
