view such proceeding; but TO me it seems
contemptuous sporting with the sovereign
constituency of the country sheer
mockery and insult to the public intelli-

And by what means is Mr.. Van Buren, to
be again presented as the legitimate and an
nointed candidate of the Democratic party n
Not certainly by the will of the great body

composing the party throughout the Union

say whom they would prefer as the Presi-
