to which each State is entitled, according to the
electoral vote of the State, and 10 examine the
credentials Of Delegates, was adopted after
some discussion-and the Committee was ap-
pointed. The Committee subsequently repor-

Considerable time was spent in discussing a
resolution offered by Mr. Sanders of N. c., that

First, to admit each Delegation to vote in the
Convention, equal to its vote in the electoral
college; second, to regulate the mode of casting
that vote, either by divided or united ballot;
third, requiring the vote of two-thrds of the Del

1t will be seen that our fayorte Candidate,
and the favorite Of the entire Democracy of Ohio,

ings adopted rule requiring a vote of two thirds
necessary to a choice. Mr.. VAN BUREN had a
majority of delegates favorable to his nomination,
but not two thirds.
The friends of Van Buren, and Cass, respec-
lively, having warmly adhered TO their favortes,
and it having been found impossible 10 effect a
nomination, it was mutually agreed to lay aside
the old candidates, and bring forward new ones
In accordance with this determination, Gov
POLK of Tennessee, was unanimously nomina-
ted for President, amidst cheers that made the
welkin ring.
SILAs WRIGHT having declined the nomina-
ton for Vice President, GEORGE NJ. DALLAS, Of
Penna. was unanimously nominated for that Of
fee.
Our ticket is now formed. JAMES X. POLK
and GEORGE M. DALLAS! two nobler names

NATIONAL BANK.

The Incorporation of a National Bank, with
capital of $4,000, appears now TO be darling
object with the federal party Both Henry Clay
and Theodore Frelinghuysen were "panic ma
kers'' in the dark days when bank screws were
depressing the people, and it was Frelinghuysen
(says the Pennsylvanian,) who announced to the
Senate when the whole country was con-
yilsed by the nefarous efforts of the Bank
to wiring by torture re-charter from the
hands of the unwilling people, that he had
Just seen Mr. Bdde in his Bank parior, and
tina. he was "calm as a summers morning"
while all else quvered under the systematized
process of terrorism devised in Chestnut street
and remorsely carried out in the chamber Of the
Senate by Clay, Frelnghuysen, and their coad-
tutors, who, by their cries and their croakings,
and their announcement of "revolution bloodless
as yet" sought TO terrify the American people
into base submission TO the money power. 1t
has always appeared TO us that the events of that
memorable panic session, particularly as regards
the Senate, have not been sufficiently borne in
mind by the community. To our view of the
subject at least, it is perhaps the most disgrace
ful page in the history of the republic, and should
bring irrevocabIe condemnation upon all who, 10
gain their own ends, did not hesitate to lend
themselves to plan of operations intended TO
force compliance TO the wishes of the Bank by
creating widespread ruin. While the Bank, af
ter scattering her deceitful favors with a prodi-
gal hand in every direction, was then grinding
her unfortunate debtors to the earth, Senators
could be found--men now in nomination for the
highest offices in the gift of the people--who
gave themselves up day after day, week after
week, month after month, to the work Of endeav-
orng to lash the people into the despair of fear,
in the hope that at last democracy might be in
duced to surrender itself TO the tender mercies
ofits enemies. One of those panic making s en-
ators was Henry Clay--another was Theodore
Frelinghuysen, and they now come forward to-
Igether to submit themselves TO the suiffages of
that very people whom ten years ago they would,
by an organized plan of terrorism, have driven
into the tolls of the Bank Let all these things
be freshly remembered; for the events of 1884
furnished an illustration in regard TO politics, and
politicians Of certain class, which, if taken wise
lily, is worth all that was suffered to obtain it; and
though it is now the peoples turn to be "calm
as summers morning." it may not be amiss to
recoect when it was not so and why il was not

CEay's Hypocrisy.

Soon after his DUEL with John Randolph, Mr.
Clay issued an address, TO justify his conduct, Oh
at least, to make the best possible apology for it
In the course of that address he said:--
81 owe it to the community to say; that what
ever heretofore I may have done, or, by inevita,
bic circumstances, may be forced TO do, no n2n
holds in deeper adherence than do, the perni-
cious practice of duelling. Condemned as it
must be by the judgment and philosophy, to say
nothing of the religion, Of every thinking man,
it is an affair of feeling, about which we cannot,
although we should, reason. The true coTec-
tive will be found, when all shall unite, as all
ought to unite, in its unqualified prescription"

that will not cover before defeat and misfortune.

bank and distribution schemes, and in eight
