PATRIoTs; LISTEN TO TRUTH

A.xs firmly aud fully anticipated, the demon oil
s;,cord. madness and desperation now Ieigns IN The
hacked Democratic Convention. And how can be
a,herw,se, The old hacks and the seli-constituted
leaders OF the Democratic party, are resolved 10
maintain the position into which they have io's' Gu
themselves, against the advice and consent oil ue
'sPeopIe if they drive them headong 70 ue'fuc
ton From tho violent excitement coniusion' anu
tho ranking prejudices-nay, from the ihcreasso
raging Of all the elements II faction, now exhioNeu
in that Convention Of Delegates, who have Assem-
BLEED to pour oil the troubled waters, and to unite
if possible, the great Democratic family, IT Is as
clear as the in the heavens, that the People are
not with them, and their consciences are toriaf-
ed with the irresistible apprehension and assur
ance that their proceedings will not be sanctioned and
sustained They sec that John Tyler has been nomina
ted by a Convention composed of Delegates sent d.
rectly from The bosom Of the People, and they, IN
their hearts believe that he will be trumphanty sus
iained by the hard hands and honest hearts OF the
unconpromising yeomanry, who are, in truth, the
bone and sinew of the Republic, and the last hope
and refuge of oppressed Liberty.
The Delegates Of the AnttTyler Convention have
abored to make the impression that Mr. Tyler cannot
carry the Democratic party under any circumstances
yet, many have declared that they would support
him with pleasure if they believed that he could
unite the party. Some of the Virginia Delegation
contend that he stands chance in that State but
others from the Old Dominion acknowledge, with
the frankness and independence of honest men and
fearless patriots, that he is stronger at this moment
than any other man 10 the State. Now, we ask the
Convention, and especially the Virginia delegation,
to read the following extract from letter received
in Washington from Of the most talented, dstin
gushed, and unbiased Democrats now sitting, as
member from Virgi mia. Hear the language Of truth,
patriotism and justice and if the People everywhere
could hear it, Gas they riA sooner or later,) they
would demand the nomination of John Tyler by their
loudest acclamations The letter reached Washing
ton three days ago, but did not get to hand until
to-day
