The Examiner has already declared in favor of old
Buck We have not observed that the Enquirer has
taken postion-unless by sort of general pledge to
support the nominee of the Convention, whoever he
may be. This pledge might, by possibility, require
venerable contemporary to give in its adhesion to
Black Republican. IL its taste is akin to that of
our gay and classical Governor, il will not have 10
make many WHY faces to swallow pure African,
with the odorous aduncts.
We suppose the object of the Examiner, IN pub.
fishing this statement of TIE action of the Conven-
ton in o. is to advance the prospects ofts avore
If the realities of the past image of the
future, it may be subscribing some other than
that which il would aid Gen. Cas- and Nj.
Buchanan were the head and front of the Conven-
ton of so, when it began; bu: when it closed they
were nowhere. Gen. Pierce whose name was uu.
heard of and unknown for three long days and 50
laborous ballots, suddenly fShed up from his
native mud, and, in moment, dstanced all competi-
tors. A like fate may await old Buck the Cncin-
natl Convention. He and Pierce will probably take
the lead at the opening and at the end they will be
heard Of no more forever.
The Convention of - would have served the Er
dminer better argument in Iayor OF old Buck :
chances. Then snd there, Gen. CaSs who had been
the leading competitor for the nomination in ~ took
the lead at the start, maintained it, and won the
prize. But he only il in Convention To lose it
before the people. Possibly that il-omened. is
sue deferred the Examiner from selecting the
'4s Convention for its illustration of the future
Its hvorite might gain the nomination, but might
lose the election Such, possibly may be the case
though nothing is less certain than the action Of
Democratic Convention with its two-thirtis rule &"
and the proverbal Democratic aversion to eminent
merit.
But while the politicians are thus wrangl;ng ami
lowering over the selection Of a dispenser of the
spolS would it not be we'll for the people to content
themselves with the safe conservative well tried ma.
tionai man, already in nomination However au.
spicous the star that may preside the lottery at
Cincinnati, certain 1t is, they will not do better and
the chances are hundred to one they may do much
worse.
