.cheering.J The convention had, by south,
ern influence again beat down the north
and he for one would 60 in for an orgsniza-
ton Of all the wings and nominate a third
party. A.large portion of the democracy
we're opposed to the nomination of CaSs,
and would not support him. A large por-
ton indeed nearly all the wing party, were
opposed to the nomination of Taylor and
would not support him. Under such cir
it was necessary, as soon as
possible, to call a mass meeting for the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate for the,
Presidency and one for the Vice Presiden-'

TIE Strength Of our TTeket.-The An
gusta Republic, a Appointment Wing paper
makes the following candid admission as TO
the strength Of the Democratic ticket: J
We believe that it will generally be con-
ceded, that whether the Democratic Ticket
for President and Vice President is strong
or weak, it combines a high order of abili-
Ity with much personal integrity. Gen. Cass
has long been in the public service at home
and abroad, and so far as experience and
talents are concerned it will be admitted
that he possesses them. He is q statesman
of high order, and proofs Of his services
and abilities can be produced in his able
speeches, reports and writings. E .,s
