State Convention had appointed delegates for this State To ihe Baltimore Convention and instructed them to vote for Mr. VAN BUNEN. Alter the new aspect of things produced by the Texas issue. some of the countless exceeding ten out Of the its and probably not half that number, held meetings reeas ing rhe piedge far as they could do, and leaving the delegates free 10 act as in their best discretion they might find necessary for success at the Conyen- tion. The Journal assumes that this movement was sufficient release of the binding restrictions of the State Convention It zoe. further and assumes that they made instruction to oppose Mir. Van Buren all events, and to favor any other candidate. It goes a still further and more extravagant length and assumes that they tantamount to an in- struclion to vote for Gen. Cass which il was .fde- tY' to obey and treachery to dsregard; although the name of Gen. Cass, presented elsewhere by his friends, had found support in this State at all. and was not named at any meeting, and although on the very question winch is said to have wrought the change ofopniOn towards Mir. Van Buren, there was not particle of evidence that the views of Mir Class were other or more sound in any respect than Mir. Van Bmen's.
 This prcposterous assumption that, between Van
 
 cided in favor of Cass as the better Texas candidate so clearly, that 10 doubt was treason, makes the whole staple of the Journals attack upon Mir. SHIELDS for his .'seven'' Van Buren votes in inc Convention. That, too, may take it's fate among the democrats of the State. No pains are necessary to expose it's gratuitous nerversity of misstatement Alter these seven ballotngs, however, Mir. POLK was a1 tn Iha an6 sha l ballot, received the unanimous vote So long as Mir. CAss was the chief competitor, the friends ol Mir. VAN BUREN adhered to him. They then orig. | mated the movement to substitute Mir. POLK for Mir. VAN BUREN, and accomplished that happy re. suit From the first, Mir. SHIELDS took decided part in bringing forward MT. POLK, and with the united Alabama delegation, gave him the whole vote of this State. Divided between Van Buren and | Cass, they reunited at once on Mir. POLK. In dis criminating offensivsly between Mir. SHIELDS anc he remainder of our delegates, the Journal coulc not have reference to any vote for PoLK--for tha vote cast together and any of the delegates cal bear test lmony the fact that that direction wal strongly urged by Mir. SnIELDs-and some of then might testify whether there not objections mad, at first, because it came froH the Van Buren men, This true, and we have heretofore exp Ialned b, what influences and in what spirit, he friends of Mir Van Buren. incapable of reconciling themselves to thu nomination of Class upon the assumed grounds of pre- ference. offered Mir. POLK as their first choice for harm onIous compromise. These very men. it i, who were active and forward in the very exertiou | which consolidated the party, secured its triumph and carried Texas triumphantly through, are select ed by the Tuscaloo people for particular excuso or from the friendship of the administration and the confidence of the democratic party!
 Since the Journal has ventured to support it's in sInuatlons, by reported expression attributed t Gen. Jackson, advising the selection of some othe candidate than MT. VAN BuREN in view of tn, Texas questionable cannot we'll refuse the explicit testimony of Gen, JACKSON, that what we have sta ted is the true history of the POLK movement m th Baltimore Convention In letter dated 25h Jun last, addressed 10 MT. JONES, at Utica, N. York Gen. JACKSON says of the result of the convention I That compromise of this character should bay " been brought about mainly by the Instrumentalit |" of Mir VAN BUREN's known personal and politi " cal irends acting upon the spur of the occasion " and that this act should have been 50 prompl approved by him, is another proof, not only of hi I " traordinary prevalence in the party to which h. !" beongs, of the sentiment which regards men A | :" subordinate 10 measures-conduct like this wil " give additional lustre to hIs name and brighten tn " page of democratic hIsory.''
 So thought and wrote Gen. JACKSON of the con duct of the friends of Mir. VAN BuREN in the Con 'enton at Baltimore. In his view, their dsiuteres tedness and magnanimity"b the page ofdemo cratic history" In the opinion of the Journal ed tor at Tuscaloosa, it should mark them out for sus picOn and avoidance. It is not the first time, we believe, ,when these authorities have been on very on posite sides of political questions.
 We have thus taken the opportunity of the failur ofthe mails and hastily despatched the article in tn Journal, soon as it was received He has bee fortnight in concocting it, but understanding rather as a manifesto than am argument, we hay been contented with getting rid of the subject by full and speedy notlce as possible of all that " think worth notice, significant of uterior purposes | -
