The Na.,on., Inssn,gsnesr san alive.

The state Of dullness and desuetude into which the
venerable organ OF federalism has fallen, very generally
induced the belief among its former party supporters and
admirers that it had actually "shufed of this mortal
coil" and gone to its long home. But not so. That
spectacle memeno OF past age still survives-not in
the robustness and vigor OF its pristine and mature fe
but in the topdity and supeannuaton Of its waning age
Like the dying taper, it occasionally fares up though
il were again reviving to its wonted life and energy; Blu,
anon it sinks away, and becomes dull. dark, and
torpid than We much obliged for the advice
which this venerable relic OF an anieduvian age has
volunteered TO besow upon respecting passports.
In its dim and uncertain Vaccinations it seems to
have come TO the conclusion that we have censured
the Secretary of State for refusing those documents
to colored persons. This is a mistake which the
Pickering lights OF our venerable monitor would be
very likely to lead il to make and hence very
sable We did such thing as to censure the Secre-
tary for the matter alluded to by the Infeigeneer but
It's peculiar condition growing out Of its advanced years
and its long service in the OF conservatism, both
foreign and domestic, induces to overlook this trlng
mistake and to receive its admonition though il had
been applied by aged mentor with full knowledge
and comprehension of the facts We will always take
the advice OF this interesting antique in good part and
give il the attention which il merits.

The democracy met in convention last night to
nominate five candidates for the Legislature, and
after making four ballots, adjourned at halfpast
ten o'clock this morning, choosing but one of the
Eve delegates--Capt. John Marshall. In all my
experience Of political meetings, have never met
with 30 turbulent and disorderly body Of men.
On the fourth ballot vote more was cast than
the legal number Of votes in the convention, when
they may be truly said to have "broken up in
row" Henry Snyder, Esq presided with great
ability; but with all bis tact and experience, he
had the greatest difficulty TO progress with the bu-
slness of the convention.
