 Circumstances have prevented the nomi- nation of that eminent statesman, Martin Van i Buren, by two-thirds vote, according to the usage of previous national conventions; hu, what democrat in the Union does not part with him with inc most profound gratitude for his services, the warmest admiration for his talents. and the sincerest respect for the grace fnl manner in which he authorized his inti- mate friend, Mir B. r.

 Mir. Polk's nomination has been received at Baltimore, at Washington, and at Rich moad with enthusiasm. ltheais all division; unltes our party with bands of iron. It thwafts every hope which the whigs had n- dulged of discord and divisions It blasts the election of Mr. Clay, and saves our coun- i try from the seeptre of the d:ctater. Mir. Polk is tfae to all onr republican principles, and he is the friend of Texas. We shall go into the encounter with renovated spirifs, and with iulemitable energies. He will carry Virginia by thousands, and the Union by an overwhelming majority.

 The Baltimore Sun, in sketching the pro- .eeedipgs of the convention on "Wednesday, gives the follawiag as the fine and spirited remarks ol Mr Roane, of the Virginia dele gation, in giving their yoles for Mr. Polk.
 Al the time thesballoting commenced, the New York delegation had retired to consult on ther course and when they entered, Mr. R0aae of Virginia was addressing the con vention in behalf of that State. Addressing the New ork delegation, he said that yir- ginia resigned Mir. Van Burcn, her first choice, wlth bleeding heart She had wished to see the same banner-bearerlead them on to victory who had been so disgraeefllly driven from q seat which he had so gracefully filled. Their greatcst desire was to defeat that apos- tate, Henry Clay, wth tale twenty years long, and a pack of hungry expectants of twenty years standing, dragging after it. It IS 10 defeat that man, that Virginia yields and places her heart on the altar of her country and her principles. He pledged Virginia that she would be found where she had always been found, firm in her advocacy of demo- cratic principles. When a gentleman lad yesterday said that thete was no State that had not at times been overwhelmed by whip- gery, he had wished to tell him that Virginia had never faliered''
 The following is a sketch of the excellen. remarks of AIr. Drorgoole, on giving the vote of the Virginia delegation for Mr. Siias Wright as Vice President:
 Mr. Dromgoole, of Virginia, addressed the convention, under the direction of the delegates from his State. seconding, in their behalf, the nomination of SiIas Wright for the vice presidency. h the course of his re- marks, he pledged Virginia to remain where she had always been, firmly democratic to I.the core; State which had never given federal whig candidate for either of the high stations of the nation. He trusted that it would be inscribed on the demacratic banner throughout the country, sUnion is strength As he had heard thatin family aflairs-he had no experience Ill the matter, Tgreat laughterl jars end quarrels were tie prelude to a more close and more affectionate union, so in the case of their difficulties, which were now passed. They were now bonnsi together ;oy closer ties of union and brotherhood than they were before the difficulties hae occurred and every hope of lhe whig party from this source must now vaDish.''
