DEMOCRATIC" MOVEMENTS.

The New York" Democratic Central Committee
have passed resolutions calling the party 10 stand

Presidency.
The democrats" fthe State of Maryland, on the
other hand, are every where giving Mr.. VAN buren,

appointed JAMES A. STEWART as delegate to the
National Convention, and left him free to make his
own selection. The third district met at Baltimore
on Wednesday, and appointed Gen. B. C. Howard
as its delegate, and adopted the following resolutions
Resored That this Convention approve of the immediate
annexation Of Texas to the United States.
Resolved That, present advised this Convention ap-
prove Of the nomination Of Gen. LEWIS CAss of Michigan
for President of the United States.
A Letter published in the last number of the

as the present. that in most, if not all of the coun-

Something ought TO be done-and too much can
not be done-to prevent the election Of Mr.. Clay:

Ex-sPEAKER WHITE.

The Kentucky 7" Commonwealth" has thought it
proper TO vindicae the reputation of The Hon. JOHN
WHlTE, Of Kentucky, as person Of the most
gentlemanly and amiable character. No such vim
dcalion can be necessary where Mr.. While is
known and appreciated as he deserves to be; but,
as The false gloss attempted to be given by his po-
lilical adversaries TO recent occurrence in the
House OF Representatives may possibly have some
effect where he is not known, we think it due to
Mr.. WHITE to transfer The following remarks to our

which refer to Mr. WHITE's personal character and
