Mr.. Walker pulled the wires and regulated
the movements, in May, 1874, of that democratic
automaton, in his hands, called the Baltimore
convention. 50 confident was he OF his plans,
that Offices now held by certain personases, at
home and abroad, were pledged to them by X. J.
Walker, before the assembling of the convention.
He knew his men before he went over; but he
also knew that they would require hard driving
as we'll as fiae promises; and the sequel showed
he was ready for both. Now, if any man suppO-
ses that Mr.. Walker is going to let the coming
Baltimore convention pass off without thumb
in the pudding, he is mistaken. Mr.. Walker at
this moment is better advised of the complexion
of the convention, its various shades and hues,
and the expectations OF the several candi-
datee, and The calculations OF their fncnds-ho
knows more OF all these matters, than any
man IN Washington. He devoles more study TO
this subject now than he does 10 his officia du-
ties. Late OF nights, he is engaged summing
up and comparing the results of the several State
conventions held, the stripe of the delegates sp-
pointed, and the prospects OF the aggregate con-
ventOn, and its subdivisions upon the first bal.
lot. Then comes the labor of close calculation.
How shall we control the scattering votes, as
to get them started upon our man! That Is the
question; and 1t will go hard il Mr.. Walker does
not resolve it before the meeting of the conven-
ton.
Mississippi, mark You, is to be second upon the
Presidential ticket, IT northern man be nomi-
mated for President. Either X. j Walker, or
Jefferson Davis, or John A QuIlman, or H S.
FOote, must be the Vice, if the North get the
main appointment Let the barnburners,
IN the mean time, remember that M.
FIasg expected-that Mr.. Walker has NO
| love to spare the barnburners any Of the tribe
| If he had loved Mr.. Van Burea, there would
| have been a different nomination In 1874, and IT

success, so as to excommunicate entirely the
whole of the recusant barnburners, from John
Van Buren, all the way down the river to the
editor of the Eusning Post, and Mr. Walker
do il, it will be dOne-such Is the affection OF
Mr.. Walker for the barnburners.
| Mr.. Walker will assent to the nomination OF
Gen Cass, because he Is not favoritc OF the
barnburners; because he lodges the provlso, and
| goes the whole of the frec-trade schedules; or
| be may 60 tor Mr.. Woodbury.; but he does not
| like Mr. Buchanan 30 well as Mr.. Dallas. Ii 10
natural that he should not, though Mr.. Walkers
by no means natural
noses into the Baltimore convention, they Will
be resisted-Mr. Walker will see to that
though we have occasion to believe that II the
barnburners would renounce the Van Burens'
MIR. Walker would be appeased. Short OF that,
the burnbuIners must expect to be opposed at
| the doors of the convention.
Barnburners, wake up Tor Gods sake, woke
up! Remember Silas Wright. Remember ~
and As! Remember '46! Remember al, and
don't forget '4S Remember Fagg Remem:
Der Utica, and Herkimer, and Prince John and
| Linden YIELDS philosopher, and then remember
} Walker. Wake up, and be on the watch
| Col. Benton Is with you, oh, we barnouTners,
and be not then cast down. 1t Is not tor you, ye
barnburners, to make concessions now but II a
good price is offered for your free will in trade,
you can; but beware of the devil and Bob Walk
err. Hold oil, and you will have chance tor
bargain, but don't desert. PRINCE JOHN.
