national democratic convention in the nomination o.

| To the nominees we give our warm and earnest
support, and shall spare no effort in the advance
ment of their success, for they are both sterling
democrats, and are in every respect worthy of the
warm and enthusiastic support the entire democ-
racy of the Union. To the democratic party Of
Columbia we appeal, to come forward and show to
their fellowdemocrats of the Union, that they are
actuated by higher and nober patriotism than the
advancement of this or that man, and that although
they have been disappointed in securing the nomi-
nation of their favorte candidate, still their PRIN-
CIPLES ARE AS DEAR TO THEM AS Ev-
Err, and that they will rally in their strength, and
give to the nomination of POLK and DALLAS
their warm and most enthusiastic support.

Neither ofthese two distinguished men have been
talked Of, yet in the whole range from which the
democratic party had the chance to select, none
more eminently qualified by ability, pure private
character and consistent political sentiments could
have been selected. Both are long tried soldiers of
the Jefferson and Jackson stamp both Of them
served with answering fidelity during all the bitter
war carried on by the Bank ofthe United States
and both of them enjoyed the confidence and favor
of the illustrous patriot who then guided the helm
ofstate-a fact in itself sufficient to command from
us the most entire confidence.
We now go into the contest with light heart, and
a ready Willingness to meet the opponents of de-
mocracy. Our standard-bearers are good men and
true. We are united and harmonious. The clouds
of discomfort and division have passed away We
feel sanguine of victory.-Somyui2e (.N ~ Mes

"We now, in accordance with all our former life
and political acts, lay our fvorIte John Tyler, at
the foot OF the mast, with Cass, Johnson, Buchanan,
Stewart, and Van Buren, and nail at our masthead

We are gratifed to see that the nominations of
Messrs. Polk and Dallas for the highest offices in
he gift of this nation have met with response in
Philadelphia at once cheering and singular. Mr..
Van Buren had many warm friends in this vicinity,

would make them forget that contest for principles
which the democratic party has ever been engaged

ions. We find ourselves delightfully."- disappointed
