THE NOMINATION OF A CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT BY THE LOCOFOCO NATION
AL CONVENTION EFFECTED.

PRESIDENT BY THE LOCOFOCO NATION
AL CONVENTION EFFECTED.
Information of the nomination of James K. Polk
of Tennessee, as the Locofoco candidate for the
Presidency, by the Baltimore Convention, was
communicated to this city yesterday by means of
the Telegraph. This announcement took every
body by surprise, though, after the withdrawal Of
Mr.. Van Buren,, they were prepared for almost
anything.
We have not time for many remarks, this morn
ing but we can not refrain from expressing our
qualification at this result. We would as soon
have had of some strength in the field, just
to rouse up the Wings, and bring forth their en-
ergies, but since our opponents have thought
proper to put a nag upon the course which has
neither speed nor bottom-and put on, as we
suppose, just for appearances sake, why, the
western charger may take it easy, and gallop or
walk over the course at his leisure. A weaker
man could not have been selected twice beaten
in his own State in quarter race, by the Young
Farmer Boy" how could he expect to run against
Eclipse over the great Union course of twenty-six
miles! Surely, the Locos must be Polking fun
at us!

assembled in Convention were generally instruct
ed by the people: was single delegate instructed
TO vote for Mr.. Polk? Had his name ever been
mentioned in connexion with the Presidency !?
Never. The people had not dreamed of him;
they know nothing of him, except that he has
been twice beaten, once by young man, as can
ddate for Governor of Tennessee. Is this the
peoples nomination then! Far from it; and it
will be seen in November next, that they will
not have candidate poked upon them in this
manner without their setting their veto upon him.
Why did not the Convention nominate Johnson,
or Cass, or Buchanan, or some man who was
known! Good, bad, or Indifferent, the people
like TO know who the man is, they are asked to
give their votes to for the first office in the ma
ton. James T. Polk, candidate for President
When will wonders cease!

social visit to the place of his early residence,
was present at the meeting, and though he did
not promise to make speech, responded to the
call of the people.

THE FIRST POLK SONG.

BY HARDIN, OF ILLINOIS.
All Matty Vans used up man,
And Lewis Cass, he cannot pass,
And as for our old friend Tecumseh,
He's lost amidst the run,psy dumpsy.
There's Stewart he can't run at all,
And Bucks kept quiet in his stall;
The Locos are uncertain folk,
They've knocked all down and set up Polk
You'd better keep your Polk away,
Or we will cover him DER with Clay;
The Coons will never stop or baulk,
But eat up berries, Polk, and stalk.

@"The worms they crawed in, and the worms
they crawled out" says the old ballad but once
touched by Peters Worm Lozenges, these destruc-
tive pests never crawl again. Children whose pale,
cadaverous cheeks, blue lips, and unhealthy appe-
tites beoken the existence Of worms will soon re-
gain all the rosy charms Of childhood under the in
hlence of this infallibe specific. Many Of the YER
mifuges in use no less destructive to the. child
than the disease and not unfrequenty ruin the gen.
eral health of the sufferer while removing the local
disorder. This never be the case as regards Pc
ters' Worm Lozenges, which contain mineral SUBJ
stance, and may be fearessly given to an infant.
Perfectly harmless to the patient, they yet effect
complete and permanent eradication of the disorder
in much shorter space of time than any other YER
miuge before the public. For sale by

de nee; and therefore we pledge ourselves to each
other and the whole community, that the alpha
and Omega with us shall be, freedom to the ensla-
we'd; and that, in promoting any of our fellow cit
liens to office, his principles in favor of liberty to
all men, as the paramount duty of political and e-
gsIative action shall be the first political test enti
Ting him to our suffrage.
8. ReSoIued, That the giant curse of the land,
against which we mutually pledge to each other a
war of determinations has recently shown its all
controlling power, by setting its foot upon the
necks ofboth of the great conventions at Baltimore.
In the one, it killed John Davis for Latimer, and
in the other it annihiIated Van Buren, for Texas.
4. RESOLVED, That Clay, Polk and Tyler, who
rule over slaves and glory in protesting that they
seek to make that rule perpetual, are unfit to be
the rulers of free people.
5. RESOLVED, That we will have no enangling
alliances with those political parties, which, false
y protesting to be wing and democratic, sustain
and vote for the worst features of TOrysm and
Tyranny.
g. Resolved, That the Wing and Democratic
parties, so called, are chained to the car Of slave
ry, AMI by their policy are the supporters of that
engine of despotlSn; therefore the friends of llber
}ty and Justice cannot, without sacrifice ofprnci-
Pile, support with their sulfrageS the candidates of
either Of those parties.
7. Resolved, That we are in favor of protecting
the industry Of the country against the pauper la
Dor of Europe, and are also against " Producing to
the level of The slave labor Of the souh,' but pre-
fer to elevate the slave to to the level of FREEMEN.
s. RESOLVED, That we recognize the condition OF
millions Of American slaves as fit theme for the
American pulpit; and that all the abettng apollo
giving, pro slavery parties and churches of the
north are participants in the crime Of the contin-
uance of slavery.
9. Resolved, That holding slave, lest he fall
into more wicked hands, or to support slave
holder for Office lest worse man be elected, is tc
do evil that good may come.
Resolved, That commserate the condition
of AIanson Work, formerly citizen of Vermont
now ncarcerated in the State prison in Missouri
for assisting a fellow being to escape from slave
ny. That we sympalhze with him and his bereav
ed family, and ask them to be patient, under thu
reflection that God is just, and that his justice
Sumbcreth not, and that we are in the dawn Of
Brighter day, at the full noon of which, the suffer
ings services and sacrifices of our brother and hi
co-sufferers will be rewarded.

RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, American Slavery is the greatest nation
al evil, whether considered in its intellectual
moral, physical, social, political or pecunary in
terest, under which our country is suffering; and
whereas, the two great political parties which
have ms-ruled this nation, have always supper
ted and still continue to sustain slavery, and
propose to continue their allegiance to the slave
power, by placing again the government of these
United States in the hands of SHAREHOLDERS, or
those pledged to its interests, -therefore
l. ResoLUed, That our views of the importance
of a Liberty Party, to unite the patriotism and
philanthropy of the nation, North and South, to
rescue the government from the domination of the
slave power, and to overthrow that great system
of OPPRESSION unchanged and we hereby re-
new our pledge to use all lawful and constitution
al means to make it the predominant party in the
country.

immediate admission of Texas into the Union, but
for the controlling poWer over political parties pos

Shortly this controlling power shall be possessed
