sin the event, however, that Mr.. Van Buren,, OF any
other genuine Democrat should be nominated by the
Baltimore Convention, the Democracy of Madison
county declare their intention to support him. IN pre-
ference TO Henry Clay They are not prepared TO stack
their arms, and surrender 10 their enemy They arc
unwilling 10 yield the Government, without struggle
10 tho money.changers and stock obbers the manulac
rcrs and mouopolists They are unprepared to see The
Constitution violated and dangerous powers conceded to
the General Governmcnt-such as those Of creating
nited States Bank Protective Tariff, and Internal In
proyemens and of distributing the proceeds OF the pub
liz lands among the States They are utterly opposed
10 repesing the fundamental laws OF the land, embodied
in their Constitution and especially the great bulwark
of Southern rights-the veto power Of The President
They will not 20 with Henry Clay for this fatal and
finishing blow to Southern rights They will cling TO
the sacred charter of their liberties and shield and save
IT, # possible from the desperate hands Of ambitious
innovation They are anxious TO bring the Government
10 the Republican tack given il by Mr. Jefferson and
are firmly resolved to and stay the tide Of Federal
usurpation, with which the country is threatened By
Henry CLAW and his followers. They consider the con-
duct and measures of the Wings and their champions
tending 10 a revolution of the Government which, if
fully effected, would leave the simple mockery of
Renublic in name devoid of its form substance
CovsEcrIcur-We have been informed, (SaJ' the
Washington Spectator,) that the Connecticut Demo-
cr,,c State Central Committee, at a meeting We'd
n, sday last. released their delegates TO tho National
Convention from their ms truciions.
