Jacob Burnett, Of Ohio, Whe was the
Vice President assigned 10 Ohio, in the
distribution Of the Offices Of convention by
the self constituted committee who SEE
lected them, is q federalst Of the old
school, and has honesty enough TO
own it.
Mr.. LsVerelt H. Saltonstall Of Massa-
chusstts, figured as another Of the Vice
Presidents. During the darkest period
Of the last war, when the friends of the
county were strainiDg every nerve 10 car
Ty on that war with Vigor, this same SAL
lonstall, as a member Of the Massachusetts,
Legislature, was the very man that first
broached the subject Of holding an anti
war, il not reasonable, Convention at
Hartford, and 10 this day remains the
defender Of the infamous Hartford Con
VenliOn.
Benjamin Watkins Leigh, Of Virginia,
, was the man selected to propose the reso-
luton for the nomination Of Mr.. Clay
Than Mr.. Leigh, more high toned aris-
( tocrat does not exist. He is the author
Of the famous sentiment that "MECHAN.
ICS and LABORERS have neither the
means nor the inclination to study the
. science OF government, and Therefore are
unsafe repositories OF the public trust. !"
q Henry Clay Of KenIucky was nomi.
+. mated for President. With his charac.
Q ter--bis. acts and his professions, out
readers are we'll acquainted. We will
d dismiss him with the single remark that
n his celebrated declaration in 1919, thar
!, "Lfgentlemen piH not aIIOv US to haze
Q BLACK SLAVES, they must IeIus haze
0 WHITE ONES; for WE CANNOT CUT OUR
: FIREwoOD, AND BLACK OUR SHOES AND
3 HAVE OUR WIVES AND DAUGH
), TIERS WORK IN THE KITCHEN"
. bears very close affinity 10 the deCla
D ration Of Mr. Leigh, who nominated
8 him.
, The Hon. Theodore Freling ghuyson Of
q New York was nominated as the Candi.
, date of the coons for Vice Presden nj, and
4 strange, as it may seem, his nomination
s was placed mainly on the ground Ofhis
}, religion and his piety. Mr.. Frelinghuy
10 sen may be an excelleAt man in private
II life, and very religious, according to BIZ
j. notions, but we believe he hes been rstheI
% celebrated for the bitter and unre enting
T. war which he, in common with tho Ma
Is tive American party, SO called, have wa
is ged upon those who chose TO worship
II their maker in a manner differeut from
$ the mode Mr., FreliDghuysen thinks right,
!, and proper. Asa politician, he is iden>
/ tilted with the Native American Persecu'
s lion of our naturalized brethern.
!, Among the speakers with whom we
are acquainted, Alfred Kelley, Esq, Of
this city, as usual, stood prominent. Mr..
Kelley, was not, we believe, regularly
nominated ss a dele gate, and how he be-
came a member, we are not advised -
! Mr.. Kelley never was accused Ofeithel
. imbibing or giving utterance 10 a demo-
cratic sentiment in the course of his
= life.
In 1910, care was taken 10 place for
ward as Officers6Ec., at the large gathering
|, OF the federal party,msn who had supper"
ted Gen. Jackson, and apOstatized from
their principles. Al this Convention
different feeling prevailed, and the
officers, speakers, candidates SC, were
selected from among those who had ever
been the bitter reVilsrs Of Gen Jackson,
and who had, from 1925, been consistent
IN defending the bargain and sale Of the
presidency, during that year, which de-
frauded the people out of their choice.
The National Intelligsncel, the organ
Of whiggery, and from which the lesser
lights Of that party take their cue, gives
as the only political reason for the Selec-
ton Of Frelinghuyssn, that he is "One
who stood side BY side, in the Senate,
with Mr.. Clay, for many years, in resis>
lance 20 the despOtic and dangerous mis-.
rule Of The Jackson dinasty." But four
short years have rolled around since the
federal party baited oil their hooks to
ca tCh the votes Of the original friends Of
Con. .JacksOh--then their presses teemed
with love and VeneTaliOn for the old hero;
be was eulogised in their resolutions,
and the original Jackson men were placed
fOrem ost at all meetings. But since the
slanderOus revller-the man who cheat
ed Gen. Jackson out Of the Presidency,
has been brought into the field as the
! federal candidate, the orgiOnal Jackson
men begin TO discover that their place ID
In the rear, and much though their votes
may be wanted, yet they are no longer
to be considered among the leading spirits
Of federal whiggSry.
