aud this Convent hereby procaims him. by scetama
non, the choice Of the People for the Chief Magic

Wings on the subject Of the annexation Of Texas TO
the Union he achieved by the vetoes Of the Ua-
ted States Bank, which were universally popular
throughout the country, and were n0bIy sustained
by the People.
II ua, unanimously adopted
1t is worthy of remark that spe delegates from
New York attempted to oppose the unanimous deter.
mination Of the whole Convention, there being more
than n thousand present, to nominate MIR. Tyler by
reclamation. Those two gentlemen were under.
stood to be the friends Of General Cass--wc do not
knov that they were, but it will be ascertaned.
A resolution thon adopted, that committee
OF from each State be appointed to report to-

and to the same dense mass Of People, by Tyler men,
Van Buren, men, Cass men, and Buchanan men
And all those leaders we're cheered by the same
crowd Such is the condition Of political affairs in
this city.
The friends Of Mr.. Tyler from every section are ia
the best spirits and confident of success in the com

People to represent them in Convention and they
have promptly, and without difficulty, discharged the
duty assigned them, far rs the Presidency is con-
cerned and will nominate q candidate for the
Vice Presidency. But 1t is different with the other

hand and may be their fate to encounter the awful
responsibility fhaving by their abandonment Of Mr.
Van Buren,, and nomination Of another who would
uniusty appropriate the issues Of Mr. Tyler brought
destruction on the Republican party.

Texas candidate being ALREADY made by the unanimous
voice Of Democratic Convention, hi, election may
be carried, provided suicidal act be committed
which would 'piit the party. n such an act be now
committed, the country will know who did it
Thou canst not say did it." Our skirt, will be
