For The ,SpecfnfOr.

10 the COMMITTEE OF Nine recently appointed by the
Tyler Convention which assembled in Baltimore on
the 9th u, whose duty it is TO some suita.
bic candidate for the office of Vice President:
Conference.-The duty assigned you is one Of
paramount Importance, and you will doubtless
proceed with all that caution and prudence which
the high responsibility Of your station requires
and the interests OF your country demand at your
hands. Need inform you, Gentlemen. that the
eyes of the whole American People are now anx-
onsly turned TO you. Upon the selection of the
individual to fill the office of Vice President, may
depend the future destinies of America. The
names OF various distinguished peIsonages will
doubtless be presented Tor this important station,
and 1t is most desirable that some one should be
chosen who can bring with him into the canvass
the same unaDimity Of feeling and of sentiment,
which already attaches TO the bonored name Sc
lected for the highest Office in the gift Of free
people.
Though an humble individual, taking bot little
part in the politics Of the day, yet deeply alive to
every thing connected with the welfare and hap
piBess Of my country, permit me TO call your at
tenlion 10 one, whose literary attainments have
already gained for him an eByidble distinction
whose intimate acquaintance with The history of
government for the last three years, both in it's
social and diplomatic relations-and whose elo-
quent voice has so often been raised in behalf of
The Irish Repeal, and who, for these and other
cOnelOeIduoHS "niCH HIgnt ne enumerated, ana
which will naturally suggest themselves 10 your
minds, justly and emineniy eBille him TO the

MR.. CLAY AND THE BANKRUprs.

The Fincastle Democrat says-"Not Bank
rupt who availed himself Of the provisions Of ",he
Debt expunger" can be found in the country, but
is warm supporter Of MIR. Clay for the Presi-
dency.-Ihus they reward him for enabling them
to escape the payment of their just deb,s."
This is news to us.-We know that great
many Democrats had taken the benefit of the
Bankrupt law, but we were not aware that they
had all turned Wings. The 'Democrat" is pos
sibly better informed. however. on the subiec,
than we are. One thing is certain, Mr.. Clay has
been very much abused for the law by the De-
mocrats ond il would no, be strange if some OF
the party who have ayailed themselves Of its hu.
name provisions should feel little sore under the
perpetual abuse that is heaped upon him and O.
theirs who voted for it-since, il il was dishonest
and villainous to pass the law, by the same mo-
raity it was dishonest and vilIainous to take
The benefit Of it.

TEXAS TREATY REJECTED

The debate on the Annexation Treaty was
brought 10 close in the Senate on Saturday
night last, about nine O'Clock, when the ques-
tion was taken on its Ratification, and the fol-
lowing was the result:
FEAs-Messrs. Atchison, Bagby, Breese, Blu
chanan, Colquilt, Fulton, Haywood, Henderson
Huger, Lewis, McDufe, Semple, Sewer, Stur-
geon, Walker, and Woodbury-l6.
NAYs-Messrs. Allen, Archer. Anterior, Bar
row, Bates, Bayard, Benton, Berrien, Choate,
clayton, Crlttenden, Dayton, Evans, Fairfield,
Foster, Francis. Huntington, Jarnagin, johnson,
Mangum, Merrick, Miller. Morehead, Miles,
Pearce, Phelps, Porter, Rives, Simmons, Tall
madge, Tappan, Upham, White, Woodbridge,
and Wniehl,-35.
Thrty-live 10 six,een-more than two TO
one against il (! instead of the two-thirds ma
jority in lis favor which Capt. Tyler and his
mnions had SO confidently assnmed-This
is indeed most gratifying. Only one Senator,
1t will be seen, was absent from his post.
The Washington Spectator states that i'm
mediately after the rejection of the Treaty,
MIR. Benton introduced bill for the annexa-
ton of Texas, with the consent of Mexico.
The Spectator is the Calhoun organ, and ex-
presses great contempt for Mr. Benlon's move
ment. 1t seems 10 think that the consent of
Great Britain ought to have been stipulated
for also!
We sincerely congratulate the country on
the happy termination which has been given
TO this most reasonable and iniquitous trans
action on the part Of the President-originat-
ing as ii did in silly and selfish view to the
advancement of his own political fortunes,
without particle of regard Tor the interests
or honor of the country.

great Wing gathering was held at BALI
more, IN Monument square, on W edn esday
night OF last week, which the Baltimore Sun
says was one of the largest convened there
in many years, "not excepting even the parti-
cularly enthusiastic year 1S40n The square
was completely filled, and the avenues leading
to IT were animated with crowds passing in
and out. The speakers were the Hon. John
p. Kennedy, Hon. Mr.. Summers, of Va, Hon.
Milton Brown, Of Tenn, Hon Solomon Foot,
of Vermont, and the Hon. Mr.. Schenck. OF
Ohio. The whole scene was brilliantly lin.
minated with the Drummond light, and the

was handsomely decorated with flags.

THE NEW YORK HERALD AND THE NoMI.
NATION


The Enquirer is particularly fond of quoting
the opinions OF Bennett whenever they happen to
coincide with HIS own. Now it is rule of evil
dence, we believe, not to take portion of any
mans testimony without taking the whole. In
accordance with this rule We take the liberty Of
supplying small gap in Bennel's, which we fear
will be overlooked by the Enquirer 1t is from
the Herald of May 81, and reads as follows:
"Of the nomination OF MIR. Polk, we hardly
know how TO speak seriously. more ridicu-
lous, contemplate and forlorn candidate, was ne
yer put forth by any Party. He has neither vi
gor, responsibility, the elements of anv repu-
tauon, below even Captain Tyler and all the IA
mily, including the cracked head OF old Wat Ty-
ler MIR. Polk is of fourth or rather for
deliberate Lawyer and small politician of Tennes-
see' who. by accident, was once Speaker Of the
House OF representatives. He was rejected, 9.
ven by his own Stale, as Governor-and now no
comes forward as candidate of the great Demo-
crazy of The United States. Oh! what a ridicu-
lous finale. Captain Tyler, with the patronage Of
Government in his hands, and The spells"
"Warm, rocking rcb,"
can get more Democratic votes in New Yo.k,
than Mr. Polk can, will do.
The singular result of all these laughable do
ings OF the Democracy in Baltimore, will be tho
election Of Henry Clay by larger majority than
ever was received by either Jackson or Harrison.
With Polk and Tyler in the field to divide tho
Democracy, who, were they rolled into one per-
son. would hardly make man, MIR. Clay must
get the State Of New York with perfect ease
The same state of Democratic disorganization
will lead 10 the same results in other States. The
Presidential Election may be said to be decided
as soon as It opens. The Democracy will be
scattered to the four winds of Heaven among
these several candidates, and Clay will nave only
to WALK OYER The COURSE"
What say the Enquirer, and the Old EIunkers
to this! They cannot object 10 The evidence
They cannot falsfy his testimony; they are es-
topped to mpeach his character, or his preiensons
as Prophet, by the fact Of their having SO long
relied on him as unassaiable in both capacities.

The Locofoco presses, by way Of giving
some establishment 10 their malignity, call
Henry Clay blackleg, and Theodore Freling-

sistcncy in their attacks upon the Wing can

DESPATCH FROM Mr.. EVERETT

The National Inell:gencer of Saturday con-
talns despatch from the American Minister at
the Court OF st. James, dated May 18th, 1874.
II alludes TO a conversation in The House of Lords
between Lord Brougbam and Lord Aberdeen,
(which we have already published on the subjecs
OF the Treaty Of Annexation. Lord BTongham
put question to Lord Aberdeen upon the sub
Jeci and assigned as his reason for doing so
that the conversation between Lord A. and him
self on the 18th Of Angus. last, had been (as he
gathered from the documents which appeared in
The papers, deemed highly significant by tho
Government Of the United States; and stated
that it was far from his intention, in what he had
said, 10 counsel any interference with slavery az
existing in the United States!"

scheme has been exposed, and proved to be ut

Mr. Butler predicted, if the rule should be
carried, the ACKNOWLEDGMENT and final breaking M

TEXAS TREATY-NEw DISCLOSURE.

In answer to a call oc the Senate for informa-
ton relative TO the agreement by which Military
and Naval forces have been ordered TO Texas, the
President has sent in Message and documents
which show conclusively that The Government of
Texas made il an indispensable condition before
signing the Treaty that the United States should
take up arms in her defeuce, in the event of hos.
tile movement on the part of Mexico against her.
This disclosure has produced great sensation.

We learn with great satisfaction, from good
authority, that, as we had hoped, the rumor Of

Secretary of State and British Minister is entirely
without foundation, and that there exists per-

rIes. We are glad that we noticed the rumor, be-

PROSPECT OF A ROW.

The New York Evening Post after comment.
ing with great bitterness on the course Of tho
Pennsylvania Delegation in the late Convention,
and charging them openly with treachery, speaks
as follows:
=" In this passage we have sort Of chart Of
the whole dsgraceful stratagem. The writer
seems to have been perfectly aware Of what was
plotted by the delegates from his own State. On
iook'ng al the table Of votes, which We give in
th's paper It VIII be that twelve at least Of
the members from Pennsylvania were engaged in
tnis conspiracy, and gave their votes for the two.
thirds rule. After the rule was adopted, all the
delegates from Pennsy lvania, at fist, went repu-
larly through the mock ceremony Of voting for
Mr.. Van Buren,. This consistency lasted during
three successive balo,ngs. On the fourth ball
lot the object for which they had supported tho
two-,hirds rule, began TO appear. Eight Of them
voted Tor MIR. Buchanan; on the fifth ballot ten;
on she sixth niue; on the seventh, four voted for
Cass, one for Johnson, and nine for Buchanan,
leaving only twelve out Of the twenty-s llele-
gates Tor Van Buren,. There never was grosssr
or more manifest piece of knavery transacted.
A nomination made by such means, if in fact
nomination shall be made, could command no
moral force. or be regarded as having the least
authority. nomination made by delegates in
violation OF the instructions Of their
Is clearly no nomination at all no matter by
what iegerdemain it may be effected il is sim
ply an arbitrary act done by agents who tran.
scend their instructions, and it does not bind
their principals.
But we might take the ground, and it would be
perfectly fair one, that the nomination is alrea-
dy made. WeTcannot, for our part, sec what
right the Convention has to set aside, by an mr.
bltrary rule, the voice of the majority acting ac-
cording to their instructions. The people sent
delegates TO the Convention in order 10 ascertain
The general wish of the democratic party. This
Is to be known only by The votes of the greater
number Oh those delegates, given according to tho
instructions they had received from The people.
The hrst ballot was The nearest 10 conformity
with these instructions of the whole seven. Ii
gavs Mr. Van Buren, large majority, majority
OF twenty-six. No arbitrary rule of The Conven-
aside.'
