The Baltimore COnvcHtiOn.
The gathering Of Wings at Baltimore
OH Wednesday and Thursday next, will
be one Of the most glorious and agnifi
cent ever witnessed in this country. -
/, For some weeks past we have received
~ our exchanges from every part of the
u. States. most glowing accounts of the
preparations made 10 seWd thither large
and enthusiastic delegations, and we see
IN every quarter, mention made of hun
dreds and thousands of Wings vending
thei: way to that great centre Of polltica
attraction. From Arkansas and the
remote west, delegates have already
reached Baltimore in considerable num-
bers and from the North and East, a
delugs Of true hearted friends Of HARRY
Clay and tho American System, is
pouring through the avenues of public
travel into the great sea " hich will there
be gathered. Vermont, always in the
van when British bayoneis are to be
driven back or British Vaccinations to
DO exposed and defeated, has already
started off more than two hundred of her
brave m0untaneers for the tented field.
Fifty come from Bennington, the coun-
~ of STARK and Of WARNER, and the
field where their bright though blood
bought laure!s were won. The beauti-
ful town Of Burlington alone sends over
thirty, with that staunch, rue-hearied
Clay Wing, HARRY BRADLEY at their
head and from both sides of the Green
Mountain chain, the best and the bravest
of the sons Of ALLEN are rallying in
hundreds around the banner of CLAY and
the Constitution. From every section of
the Empire State grea: numbers of dele
gates have already arrived and thou
sands more on are on their way. All
the Eastern States will be nobly repre-
sented, and from every section of the
Union thousands upon thousands will
come up, to give overwhelming moral
power to the movement, that is to sweep
corruption and misrule forever from our
land.
The gathering at Baltimore will be
one OF the most Interesting end impress
siye spectacles ofthe age. Widely sun
dered as they are IN local situation,
strong as are their attachm nts to their
own States, and important as their Sec
tional interests seem TO be, the people Of
every part Of the Union will here be
gathered together, rallying around great
interests which arc thoroughly national,
and therefore concern them ALL The
owner of the sugar fields Of Louisiana
comes to defend that great principle of
Protection to every interest that is
American, against the hostility of all
foreign rivalry that principle is as dear
TO him as It is to the manufacturer Of the
East, because it is a national principle
and the support Of everything American.
The cotton platter, the cullivalor of rice
fields, in the Southern States, the de alers
in pitch, tar and naval stores from the
forests Of Carolina, the tobacco planter
in the Old Dominion, the trapper and

the North West, rich in mineral and
agricultural wealth, the wheat grower in

Joyous, enthusiastic defence Of their

friends of the Constitution will 60 thiiher
20 deDounce and dethronc the unprinci-
Piled demagogues who have trampled
upon its most sacred provisions, who
have trodden under foot laws made in
strict conformity with it, and done every
ching they could to destroy ito influence
and annul its power. The Sons Of Liber-

veto its enactments at pleasure and to

power and patronage which the Consii
