Native American Convention.

tain them.
Native American Conv ention.
Delegates of the above party, from eight
States met at Trenton, New Jersey on Monday,
July 5th, and after organizing adjourned over
until the following day, when DANIEL WEBSTER,
Of Massachusetts,, was nominated as the candidate
of the party for President, and GEORGE c.
WASHINGTON, of Virginia (who is said to be a
nephew of Gen. Washington) for Vice President.
The name of the party was changed 10 the
american Party :" the resolutions adopted en-
dorse the Compromise measures as a fnality
and among other changes Of creed, substitute
for twenty one years residence, extensions from
time to time by Congress, of the period Of nat
uralization, sc. 1t is stated that Mr.. Webster
Will accept such nomination, and we also notice
that this statement is contradicted Whether
he accepts, or not, we beliye he will be voted
for 10y large numbers of Wings in Massachusetts
and Wings and Native Americans in other States.
The proceedings of a Webster meeting i'll Bos-
ton Will be found in another column, and the
disaffection existing in that quarter in regard to
Gen. Scott is great. Mr.. Webster may wait un =
Ill he hears from the Georgia Union Conyen-
tion,'' which meets to-day and should he be
placed in nomination by that party, there is a
strong probability that he will accept both nom
nations. There is trouble in the Whig camp
north and south, and the disafection increases
daily. The democracy unite on PIERCE and
KING and have determined that they shall be
elected over Scott, Webster, Chase, and all
others, by a real old-fashioned jackson ma
jority.
Since writing the above we find that the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Journal
Of Commerce writes follows:
''NIr. Toombs has left for Georgia. He will
attend the Georgia Union Convention which is
to meet on the 18th inst. That body will per-
haps present third ticket 1t is said that Mr.
Toombs is in favor of the nomination of Mr..
Webster. But he said, in his speech, that the
friends of the Union party could, with consis-
tency and propriety, go for Pierce. A ticket
will create diversion in favor of Pierce. 1t
would not, probably, throw the election into the
House, nor would it be desirable in reference to
the interests of the country"
And the New York Day Book, of Saturday,
w mig paper, contains JDe IOIOWllP call anu ur-
ges the sending of delegates from the several
States
"a National Union Convention will be held in
the city of Philadelphia, on the first of August,
1852, for the nomination Of Daniel Webster for
the Presidency of the United States, and suit
able candidate for the Vice Presidency, for the
support of the Union party Of the Nation, in No
vember next. Delegates from ten States now
hold themselves in readiness for this step other
States are requested to choose suitable repre-
sentatives without delay. Friends of the Uni
on, and of its great Champion, you are now
called upon to give evidence of your devotion to
that cause, which has enlisted the talents of the
most eminent, and the sympathies of a mighty
nation The immediate formation of local Web
ster Associations is earnestly recommended"
Certainly, there is disposition to have Mr..
Webster before the people, and whether the eff
fort wins loses, the exhibition of dissensions
and divisions in the ranks of the Wings is more
the less observant.
