,ald YOU last nigh; the way in which, on NJ
ninth and last ballot, the several States il avo,
of Polk dropped into the ranks one by one, each
State through its speaker expressing deep rcgre,
that lis fayorite had not been selected, but sayng
they would surrender their first love with bleed
mo heart. Nc. with much more blamey of the
same character. so IS to produce the united yo,.
of the Convention on Polk. TO those who kneE
the d,ep hatred Of the various sections toward,
each otsor. it was 4 truly laughaJle farce
Eut Benz BurLsR's surrender was the most
,,nusing. Wlth long face he profeSSed 10 BE-
aronzed at dropping Van and taking up Polk,
y.bc,. in fact. It was New.I York diplomacy that
ls;d hold of Polk. He said he was sure he could
cary New-york by 10000 majority for Polk.
He also stated that he had a letter in his pOcke,
from Van Buren, telling hm 10 withdraw his
name. if he found it necessary desirable; but he
had not told tins 10 any OF his colleagues.
In the afternoon, W,LHsR OF Miss. spoke Of
the great sacrifice New-lork had made IN with,
drawing Van Burcn. and therefore he named Suls
WsIcirT for Vice President. whom he highly euO.
q \, d as the Cato OF the Union

Riyes of the Globe To pledge the support Of
,ha, paper to the nominations oi Polk and Nrght
and as 10 the recent attacks made by the GbOe
on the Southern and Weston members Of CSc
gr.ss, why all that would be made rlgh', TO ah

Committees were then appointed To commu!
c,te to The nominees the acton Of the ConEa
ton. and to draft an address to the people 81 ih
United States. and a SET OF resolutions lllGitnhH
of the principles of the party. But as these e,
