81 The democratic national convention lav.
ing duly nominated JAMES X. POLK,

a. DALLAS, Of Pennsylvania, for Vice
President, we this week run up the desig-
sssed 1Ag, under The confident belief that
stAs democratic party Of the United States,
under ia folds, win march forward to GER
tain victory.
III Oar personal predictions, It is we'll
known, were al in favor Of Mr.. Wax Boz
Ea.s, and we confidently anticipated his
Incarnation. The convention, however, for
various reasons. have thought il expedient
to drop him and the other prominent aspi-
rants Ind hike IN new man, and all who
are democrats from principle will acquiesce
in the decision. Indeed, 50 far as express
sion has been given to public opinion, The
tdeeision i not only universally acquiesced
in hut highly approved Of. The nomina-
tiots are judicious and such as will COM
mand the vote Of the entire democracy Of
] the Onion. This is all that is wanted to
: ensure success; but with some Of the other
prominent aspirants i seems to be highly
probablis that this could not have been OBJ
tAined. The candidates selected are gem

JANIS X. PoLk, the ,snnmiimous nominee
Of the convention for President, is known
- one Of the ablest statesmen and most in
lexible supporters of democratic measures
ia The Union. In all the various stations
wh;ch he has filed, whether as member Of
!. Congress, Chairman Of the responsible
,esnnittee Of Ways and Means, Speaker Of
: she House Of Representatives, OF Governor
Of his adopted State, he has Inhibited tai
enss Of the FIRST order, and proved himself
"a v e4ual to any emergency. During the
6ssa'cf poriion Of Gen. Jackson's admins
trstion, when the struggle which resulted
ii the prostration Of the late corrupt U. S.
nsnk was at its height, and men Of weak
5 nsrves and faint hearts gave way, Mr..
Polk, - aanainching and firm ~ the old
hero himself, sustained the views and meas
ures Of the President, and ably vindicated
thsn on Tie floor Of Congress. His re-
pprts, twh1S ct the head of the committee
IL Ways and Means, during the ever-mem-
osshle psnic session Of 1888, are well re-
sInsnbsred BY the country even Il the pres
epf day. and must ever Be regarded a. among
~ sbaesk docpnsnts q the kind on record.
