AbuSe by Wholesale.

l The editor of the Van Buren paper is out in a
 flaming article, full of denunciations against the 1 las, January convention. He proclaims it, con- vention not fall and fair, and declares that "its proceedings gave general dissatisfaction He says many of the delegates that composed it, were sent by meetings where the democracy had not a fair and general notice" and "others were sent without any notice at all being given, by few unauthorized wire-workers.i And in this abusive strain he hobbies through more than half column, rear ing and charging against the convention, to which he. as member, had consented to submit the claims of his friends. He denounces it by wholesale and complains almost with in his eyes, of it's "charactsr'' aud "compositon.'' In the bitterness of his heart he spares neither friend foe, but aims hiS poisoned shafts at one and all.
 To this convention, which was the fullest and most respectable ever assembled in the State, he was delegated member. He was advised of the time of its meeting. and notwithstanding his ex- ceeding anxiety to secure popular nominees, he fsiled to attend and complains that many large ,,emocrao counties were not represented. and that the nominees were not satisfactory 10 he people : Such is tue disorganzing of editor pro- fessing to be governed by the popular will.
 Although, hii previous submission to the call of a convention, his promise to abide by its decision. and tho declaration or his ally, at this place, that they were fady and badly Icaten, stare him in the face, he is so regardless of his pshisd faith as to turn upon his heel and propose Co anoter ds'Goc'at" 10 become en independent eandidete for goperae: With out any compunciions of conscience he 'proposes" to enter into scheme of disorganization with the view aonc (who can doubt ? to divide, defeat and destroy the democratic party.
 The facts are of his own admission. They arc recorded against him in the columns of his own pa- per. lie not only confssses them, but shsmelessly plnnes himself upon hs faithIessless. and inter mngIes with his abusive epithets, boasts that his disorganizing efforts were "open and above board and without conccalment."
 Defeated and disappointed in his reckless and a.h- bilious hopes he is not satisfied with singliug out particular individuals, but makes brief work of the matter by sssaiug the whole convention, even fox. getting in his wrath, that he himself was one of ifs component parts. Like ratuesnaks. in his mad ness, he fasens his fangs upon himself. The inte. gent geniiemen who composed the convention will scarcely bss'ow more than smile upon the ling reproacaes of the IntelIissReer, and let them pass for wha; they are worth.
 Strangely inconsistent has been his course A stroag conyention-man up to the day of its adjourn ment, pledged to support its nominees, we find him afterwards laboring in ''esrnsss." he says. to bring out an opposition candidate. and, by . garng act of Reorganization effect the destruction of the party in whose behalf he now claims to be clamoring 90 loudly. In this he failed. And afier 'dae consideration. (which before he had not of course givsa the sutiect) he determined to "sap- press hts feelings" and give the nominees true, . rslucssat support" Yes. he claims to be ester linz democrat and thorough convention man, but yields to ,hs nominees "rslaesans sapport.' whas consistency.
