run against Mr. Clay, they will find no difficult

All their hopes and fears are based upon the
success or defeat of Mr.. Van Buren, in conven-

there, they would cast aside Mr.. Clay, and take
Judge Mclean, or somebody else.
The other four wards will probably send
Johnson delegates. The district system will
now be carried out in this State and the legis-
latve caucus OF last winter fully repudiated.
The Van Buren, and Benton men are obsti-
