The Democrat and Whig Nominations.

convention. None of them suit HMM fact,

he does not intend to support a single one Of
them! This is to be much regretted, as aid
from that source. was much expected But
as the convention has adjourned, and its pro-
ceedings cannot be recalled. the Wing party
will have to get along with their nominees as
well as they can, and thus lose the valuable
aid of our friend
We are really sorry The convention did not
consult our neighbor before it made its nomi-
nations. As he understands how to make con-
stitutions to govern the destiny Of States, he
would have been the M an, above all others, to
have pointed out men to ill the different Off
ces OF this commonwealth. worthy the conf
dence ofthe people But, as we stated above.
it is now too late to remedy the matter, and
we will pass on, and notice some of the most
alarming objections Of our digni6ed and truth
full neighbor.
"Mr Vinton," he says. is ian old fashioned
conservative federalist Of the Ewing stampl"
Indeed We are sorry, Very sorry, that Mr.. Vim
ton is that kind of a man. "He has no feel
ing in common with the liberal and progress
i've portion of the Wing party" Worse and
worse! This being the case, we shouldn't
wonder if. there are Locofoco papers. other
than the Democrat which will refuse to advo-
cate his election. "He abhors innovation and
change of any sort, and has profound ven
Grafton for wealth, high blood, and every thing
ancient" If our profound and venerable
neighbor had coupled Mr.. Vinton's name with
a few 'Gaipinism' claims, or with something
that his imaginative brain could alone conjure
up, we should begin to have great fears of oul
success.
But hear our friend on the Wing candidate
for Lieut. Governor. "Eckley is very fee.
bic man but possesses a species of notoriety
founded on; ;trickery partisansbip Of an order
lower than decent men choose to resort to.
Now We should have thought that after ex-
hibiting 50 much content and abhoranse to the
high and lofty aspirations of Mr. Vihton, the
editor of the Democrat would have been over
ljoyed to have found man on an equality
with himself in slow" and indecent" partisan
trickery. But our friend is bound to make
himself miserable at the expense of his con-
science. Mr.. Eckley is an able and infueH-
tiaI man, and would not stoop to any act, '.low
and indecent" to secure the most important
Office within the gift of the people of this State.
He is always returned to the Legislature by
his district with more than party majority,
and few members of that body hold more

have been very different thing. Heswonld
