This gentienanly paragraph we have just noticed
in the northampton Courier Of last week. 1t con-
tans at least piece of information which we hope
will not prove TO be incorrect viz. that the list of

fact from such undoubted authority fact Of which
we have had other assurance. Equally ignorant
are we Also that the advertisement IN question,

We have expressed hope that the Senate would
confirm that appointment and have given our rea-
sons. That hope repeat. and those reasons we
are ready whenever called upon, TO iortfy with 9TH

Correspondence Of the NadisOnian.

COLUMBUS, (Ohio) Jan. 6, 1914.
Editor Of the .MadisOnian:
This has been proud day for the friends of Presi
dent Tyler and his Administration. The Tyler Con-
venton Of the State of Ohio has noby done its duty
1t was composed Of members Of the most sterling
worth, and in numbers it was overwhelming 80 much
so that an adjournment from the old Court House TO
the City Hall was found to be absolutely necessary
for in the street, opposite the Court House, there
were hundreds striving to obtain an entrance II
was expected that, in consequence Of the upexam-
pied bad state ofsthe roads, that few members from
a distance could attend their zeal and anxious de-
sire to render justice to ylidsd and illuminated
patriot however, overeamesali obstacles, TO the ass
constituent alike Of both the Democrats and Whigs,
aud.indeed t6athe Tylerites themselves.
Al 10 O'CLOCK A. NJ, John Burdell, Esq, Of Wash
ington county, elected Chairman, and afterwards
DR.. M. G. Krider, an old and tried Democrat and
late Sta'e Senator, disappointed President. The
usual number of Vice Presidents also were appoint
ed, all of whom were men Of political standing and
eminence in the State. On taking the chair, the
President made of the very neatest and most APP
proprate speeches have ever heard it was at once
chaste and expressive. Delazon Smith, Esq, OF
Dayton, then read very excellent and admirable
address, which was listened to with marked atten-
ton and frequently applauded The address being
finished, an adjournment Qor reasons have stated
in previous part of this letter. moved and car.
ried and at O'Clock the Convention reassembled at
the City Hall, which speedily filled from the top
to the bottom. Mr. Smith then commenced deliver
ing speech, which, for eloquence, argument, and
SATIRE has, venture to say, never been equalled in
this State. The audience, except when expressing
their appreciation by applause, were silent and aten-
tive throughout. After speaking for two hours, he
retired, amidst enthusiastic plaudits The chairman
of the committee to draft the resolutions then read
them; they being accepted and adopted, the meeting
adjourned till O'Clock, to meet at the old Court
House. the City Hall having been previously engaged
for another purpose At seven, the Convention met
again-but not one half who wished could obtain ad
mittance. Many now being present who were not at
the City Hail. the resolutions re-read, accept
ed, and adopted Mr. Fairchild of Cleveland, made
speech and Mr.. Smith again-though much
exhausted and hoarse from his previous efort-fron
the vocferous calls made for him, obliged to address
them again, which he did in speech of an hour'
length, with singular eloquence and humor.

ssGcnl Jackson like Mr.. Jefferson, brought
the ship of State back to the Republican tack
On the coming in of his administration all the
odious doctrines and principles, and the ultra
federal tendencies of the administration which
preceded il, were suddenly arrested aud revcrs-
cd.-The great results OF General Jackson's adj
mmistraton belong to the history OF the country

an address like this In repeated instances nc
recommended notifications and reductions OF

of the odous and unjust system. So etiectual
were these recommendations, and SO rapid the
change Of public opinion, that the friends OF the
tariff, and even MIR. Clay, It's imputed father,

in defiance of party discipline and party
shackles, have boldly come out from
among them and avowcd themselves no
longer identified with a party whose prin
cip!es Tor rather want Of principles are
subversive of our country's welfare, and
that to those men we accord the need of
praise such Independence of conduct
merits.
Resolved, That the course pursued by
the locoioco presses in endeavoring to
force the party into the belief that Mr..
James Carroll is popular man and that he
will obtain enough wing votes to secure
his election, is gross fraud upon that
party and an insult to 4he wings Of the
state, therefore:
Resolved, That we have too much con-
fdence in the intelligence and patriotism
ofwhigs to believe for one moment, that
they ill abandon their principles to sup
port any man of Mr.. Carroll political
character; thalin Gov. Grayson and Gov.
Frank Thomas we have had sufficient
trial Of that school Of politics; and that
wings will not entrust their affairs in the
hands Of any man who in he hour Of
danger lorsook them and fled; that they
will not stululy themselves by supporting
a man Who III party prescription and par
ty violence boasts tina, he will go as far as
he who dares 90 farthest, and who has by
his votes and declarations supported the
odlous subtreasury and lrampled the bread
seal OF sovereign state beneath his feet
ReSolred, That The wings of this dis
trict will as one man give their hearty sup
port and will fight manluIy in this con-
test until the fall lruiuon Of wing rrinci
pies is triumphant,

meeting are due, and are hereby rroilered

their spirited and patriotic addresses.
