fitted for the high station 10 which he has been
so honorably and Unexpectedly nominated. HeI
has committed no political sins TO embarrass him;
he has no private enmities TO appease; no impa-
tient rivalries to soothe. He goes into the con-
test I" without fear and without reproach, " and
he will come out of it covered with honor and
with victory.
"We only regret, that as matters now stand,
there should be any circumstances to embauass
the entire and united action of Inc Democratic
party. Mr. Tyler's name having been presented
by his friends with perfect unanImty for the Pres
idency, it may place many good democrats in
the embarrassing position of having to act upon
their Sympathies, rather than their desires, tol
unite with the entire mass of their political
friends. This difficulty arranged, and there
does not appear cloud as big as a mans hand
in the whole calm horizon of the Democratic
party
"We accord to the Convention our wamest
plaudits. 1t has acted in the wisest and most
conciliatory spirit 1t deserves, and will receive,
the praises OF the whole country. And the peo-
pie will most fully evnce their deep sense of the
wisdom of IFS councils, by rallymg in all their
strength TO the support of the illustrious names
which have been presented for their confrma-
ton. "
The Harisburgh Democratic Union, paper
which was warmly attached to Mr.. Buchanan,
discourses as follows:
"Theso auspIcious nominations are, in our es-
timation, the very best that could have been
made to meet the approaching crisis. They are
a spontaneous tribute to unpretending worth, So
licited by neither of the distinguished nominees.
! Already have they descended upon the backs Of
our enemies Ike cataract of ice-water. They
sec in them, as we'll as ourselves, the harbinger
of an unparalleled Democratic victory, and al
ready hear the death knell of Henry Clay and
his confcderated sposmen ringing in their ears.
Democratic brethren, let us be thankful to Provi-
dence for this timely deliverance from the poi
sonous atmosphere of Doubt and Discord. The
halcyon bird of Peace has, in great mercy, hoy
cred over the deliberations of our friends, and
dropped healing from her wings! Our Union is
perfect, and our cause is just. Now we can en-,
ter upon the duties of the conflict with bold
hands and buoyant hearts, confident of success
Now our young men, and our old, may 90 forth
lproclaming in advance the tdngs of another re-
publican triumph, worthy the best days of the
American republic. From town to hamlet, from
village to city, the Gross of Fire" will be en-
Enthusiastically sped, summonng the Democratic
Cansmen to the field. The call will be obeyed
with pleasure and alacrity. Not one will flag in
zeal, much less remain behind. But all will
take the popular rallyng-cry of Polk and Dali
LAS upon their lips, and echo the pure principles
of Democracy from the valleys and the hill-tops
Rejoice, then, Democrats, once more rejoice
The Union is saved from the iron clutches ofthe
great bargainer and bully, Henry Clay!"
The Ohio Statesman, paper, which all oul
readers know, is edited by Samuel Modary, the
warm personal and political friend of Mr. Var
Buren,, has long and able article, in favor o.
the nominations. From it we extract what fol
lows:
"Tho democratic party in Ohio, for the las
twelve years, have rallied around Mr.. Van Burel
with zeal and fidelity only equallod by tho
Ipurty Of motives and uprightness of heart of the
, man for whom they batted While Ohio claim:
with pride to have been the first to nominate hin
for Vice President--tho first to nominate hin
for President-she was the last, in Convention
t to desert him; and it was only after his letter o
declination was read, that they cast their vote:
for another Such is the position of the Ohio
democracy. To the friends ofthe other candi
dates, we have now a proposition to make, fo
we wish 10 test their devotion TO the great cause
We assert, that those who preferred Mr.. Van Blu
rcn for President will do more TO secure the c
lection of James K. Polk and George M. Dallas
than will the friends OF any other of the distin
guished gentlemen named for President; and OF
this proposition we throw the gauntlet to The
friends of the other candidates. For the support
/ ers of Martin Van Buren,, we claim the front o
: hrtt 4,o OFt tha 4
be done--where the assaults of the enemy are
the forcest and most desperate we claim tha
as our station Ours, because none will do bat
tie with better will--ours, because we yield t
none IN support of democratic principles, regard
ing men as but secondary object-and ours,
because we are determined to fight better bat
) tle-to drive our lances deeper into the ranks o
the enomy--to make the banner of the Ohio de
: mocracy CLEAN in the foremost ranks Of the as
saulting party.
"The challenge is to be taken only as a con
tention among friends, which shall do most t.
discomft and defeat the enemy and can onl,
be decided by action, which speaks louder thai
: words.
; " Let the democracy of Ohio, then, prepare
for the great battle, which is only to end in thu
election Of Polk, DALLAS, and TOP. Let lis Dc
first in the field, and charge home upon the enc
my the foul corruption by which their candidate
procured the Office of Secretary of State in 1926
and by which he defrauded the gallant Jackson
, out of the Presidency"
, Now hear Father Richie, of the Richmond
Enquirer, the good old Sentinel of Democrac
: in Virginia We like the man, we like his wri
tngs, we like his principles. He speaks in til,
following cheering and souI-stirring manner:
: The die is cast and that able and accomplish
ed statesman, James X. Polk, of Tennessee, ha
been unanimously nominated by the 3altimor
