At length a nomination for the Presidency ha
been made by the other Convention An hour be
fore the last ballot was taken, many older and wise
men than myself, in the Convention, feared and pre-
dicled that no nomination could be made, and ina
the assembly would adjourn in confusion.
As friend and supporter Of the distinguished
statesman now at the head Of affairs, while con
tend that great Injustice is committed by that portion
OF the Democratic party which refuses to rally upon
him at this juneture, | must, at the same time, re-
gard this day proceedings in the Convention as an
evidence that all deliberate perpetrators of wrong
must sooner or later undergo merited punishment.
Those who have so long resolved TO manage the
operations Of the party in such manner as to compel
the Convention to nominate Mr. Van Buren,, for the
third time have certainly been signally rebuked.-
The hostility Of MIR. Benton to the Administration,
and the foul abuse Of the Globe doubtless proceeded
from determination their part to secure the re-
election of Mr.. Van Buren,. They supposed Mr.. Ty-
Ter would be the chief obstacle in their way, and
hence heir remorseless and unceasing efforts TO
backen his political character. Had they sup
posed other able and resolved to
in,erpose any formidable opposition to the
Accomplishment of their Desires they TOO, in resisting
their diciaton, would have been pursued and long
since banned The recent assaults of the Globe and
Mr. Benton on Mr.. Calhoun, may be attributed to this
cause.
Whatever may be the fate Of Mr.. Tyler in the De-
mocralic party cannot but regard the Illustration of
the plans of the sel6cons,itued Dctatos the Con-
venton to-day, as gratifying occurrence. 1t will
teach lesson to Others who would at the ense Of
truth and justice make prolonged and systematic
attempt to fix upon the party and the country man
whom they may suppose TO be the best calculated to
promote their selfish interests.
1t is true hear it whispered about the streets that
the nomination of Mr. Polk was agreed upon al the
Hermitage, Mr.. B. +. Butler, in behalf Of Mr.. Van
Buren, and the Globe, eoncurring. 1t is true the
Nashville Union, received this day in Baltimore
tans string of editorial guesses, which forete Mr.
Van Buren's withdrawal and Mr.. Folks nomination,
precisely these events occurred few hours ago
1t may be true that the Republican party has been
" bough hit and sod' by two three men in Tennes-
see and if il should be SO, the proofs will soon be
developed. The next number of the Globe will show
whether or not the desperate and prohgate JacoJins
Harpie,, and CaLbans, who have so long cursed the
party and the nation to be restored or rather re-
tanned, sling to death like vsnomous asps the body
polite.
HSuch should be the arrangement, and it will be in
dicatedf tho Globe which has recently denounced
every candidate who was likely TO be in Mr.. Van
Burens way, shall tomorrow lead of in favor of Gov.
Polk. In that event a war Of eIterminat on against
tho Jacobins will commence, with renewed r,.olu-

Gen Jackson has written numerous letters in favor
0fthe immediate annexation Of Texas, many Of
which have been published and many others have
not yet the light. But all Of them as far as ]
am advised, concur in the general belief tina, mmedi-
ate annexation is measure Of rital Importance and
that its advocacy should be essential qualification
IN the candidate for the Presidency. The General
has denounced those politicians who have strven TO
snatch the credit of the measure from the hands :
President Tyler; he has declared that the man who
opposes the Treaty is patriot and yet Mr.. B. F.
Butler has this day read has purpoied read an

P.s.-l see that my account OF the first bao, yes

myself and the vote sent was correct. On the fir,
