tioncomposcd of 275 delegates for the nomination
Of candidates for President and Vice President. as.
semted at the Universalist church, in Baltimore. on
the lt inst. Henry Clay, of Kentucky, was unani-
mousy nominated for President, and Theodore Fro.
| linshsysen, of New Jersey, John Davis, of Massa.
chusets, Richard Fillmore, of New York. and John
Sergeant Of Pennsylvania, were proposed by friends
from heir several States, for the Vice Presidency.
Uponthc third ballott MIR. Frclinghuysen received
l55 votes, aud was declared 10 be duly nominated a
candidate for that station, so the Wing banner, with
the names Of Clay and Frcinghuysen inscribed
| thccon, is unfur'ed. five may Judge from the re-
ports made by Wing trumpeters, the convention
was an enthusiastic one, such as never witnessed
IN that pai!y before. On the next day, the WING
Young Mems Convention assembled in that city
| and Confirmed the nomination, SO we presume that,
IT what hc Wings say be true, nothing now remains
to be done, but going through with the usual formal
tiles Of air election for Mr. Clay to take possession
OF the White House. But their tunes may yet be
changed. The Democratic National Convention
assemblies at the same city on the 9th inst, and
viii present to the American people brace Of names
that will arouse spirit not to be queIed until the
thrice distanced courser of the Wing party will be
ready to exclaim, Republics is ungrateful." t.l
Having already heard the enquiry made, who and
what is Mr.. Frelinghuysen and presuming that
many Of our readers have forgotten that there ever
was such man. we would state that some years
ago he was Senator in Congress from the State
OF New Jersey, was an active politician, and like
Clay in one respect, and Pondexter in another was
taken off the track to resuscitatc. They will be
