ctificeofa a really able msn and lOrmida-
Bile Wing antagonist 10 man IN no re-
spect his eeual,8f never thought ol by his
wsrmest friends Tor the first Office ia The
nauou? But these are queries which
should bs answered not by us;we leave
our brethern TO solVe them as best they
can.
NotIess plain, and still more goading,
we should suppose, must be anolher
fact, viz: thst alter all Mr., Van Buren
was defeated by Mr. Calhoun! His
Texas letter was made a pretext 10
rouse the South against him; that fail
ing, the willy CaroinIan resorled 10 Ie
gsaiiye trick, and not only succeeded,
but put over him one oil the suballeFrS
Of the party! TbIs must have been
goa5ing il fairly done; but when accom-
phshed by cunning, By dishonesty, we
do oct Understand boD the insult and
conIumeIy can be borne. Who made
the cbief move against Mr.. Van Buren,
in the ConventonH RomuIus M. Ssun
.derS. And who we're The lobby mem,
bers from South Carolina, prompting
and insrucllng himG Messrs E more
and Holmes! And what followed, after
The emonslrations were made? Why,
that these two liegs men Of Mr. Calhoun
got up and assured The delegates, as il
they were conlerring a speclai favor up
on them, that South Caroline HOt0 cou d
vote with the Democracy! The sum ol
the whole s this: Mr. Van Buren, ne,
We could be controlled by Mr.. Calhoun;
Mr. Polk may be--ney, is hts political
bondmsn: aud, therefore Tho sellled pur'
pose, FIRST to defect the former al all
hbzards, aud second, 10 sustain the lat
ter! The South rules. the little.
clique Of South Carolina, ultra 10 every
lhiDg, lords it over the Democracy, and,
though powefIess in numbers, dictates TO
It as il It were The sole master.
We Wou d lsin hope for the sake OF
that spirit ol indep epsndenco which ell like
10 see - for ihe sake Of that honesty
which the people possess and cherish SEQ
that sumo portion Of The party will resent
this open panderlng TO o lawIoss sci o.
politicians, and thus vlndicste their
characters by DDdtguantIy resenting this
double fraud--thiS lnsoIent spirit Of die
tatiou. We know already that some
will so'sct. Mr.. MGGinniS, q delegate
from Missouri, Ond PresdeOtlu EIec
Tor IN that State, man Of character as
we'll as OF influence, has uttered gin the
following speech, made TO the Baltimore
Convention, Immediately after tho ad-
joumment,) his solemn protest agalns,
these ourages:
81 have sought, at various times, 10
address the Convention, for the purpose
OF expressing my opinion upon the
course it has adopted, but | have been
rudely ad unciVlIIy denied tho exercise
Of my rights as one Of ilS members. |

take this opportunity Of procIaimlng

less TO spend more breath upon the sub
ject here, but tho people will see il, and
treat i! os il deserves TO be treated"
A noble example This! One worthy
for any man to set or any man to follow !
No one will doubI or deny the fraud
let it be opposed! Nor can any one
doubt or deny The insoIent control ex.
orcised over the Baltimore Convention
by MIR, Cslhoun-let it be denounced;
resisted; oVevthrown Say with Nc.
Ginnis as Missouri will say with him.
