PeHdictoM and the West.

There il reason 70 fear that the most
Formidable attempt to defeat TIE nomination
Of GEORGE II. PENDLEoN before the Ma.
tional Convention vii! como from the Eastern
ring Of Londhollers, anl the po!i,ica! Ish.
malites Of Wall street, whose organ is rh,
New York EorM Tla, paper, while COZ
timing to inculcatc It's halfway Democracy,
managing TO be on the Abolition side ot al
the vital questions Of the day, has trei,c'
the nomination of the Wcslorn Democracy
for the Presidency with ,uperc,,lou, lg.
norancc and inperiinent fippancy ,n!l equal
cd by the course Of the HralJ, from which
nothing better cIull be expected. The
course ofthe lKorLi subjects j; to the :uspi-
cion that 1t is ac,ua;ei rather by desire to
subscryc the interests Of the boniho!lcrs
than top-omo.e the success oG The Only p.rsy
which can save the country from dcspotism
aud ruin The ease j. aggravated by the
belief, well.feundod az not, that the Chair
man OF the National Committee, the agent
- S'te VI unions of dol.
lars, is at the bottom 0f n scheme IN lac,..
the Ohio nominee because of his views up
on financial our-lions. The Democracy Of
this country have been too often fooled into
false position by such machinations, to be
again defeated by them; and We trust that,
forwarned as they must be, OF the attempt,
they will be prepared to foil it in wha;c'el
shape il may present itself.
Mr.. Prnilcton has received the on ln~.o.
mcnt Of four States, with an unanmi'y aud
enthusiasm never before known in the history
Of The party. Thi, endorsement was brought
about by 10 trickery or party machinery,
but was tie result Of the popular faith thu,
he is the proper man, and that he is the
faithful representative Of the people in the
new issues, and the apostle of the old prin'
ciples thar guided the establishment and
must secure the pcrpctustion Of free gov
ernment. No other man, and there are
many in the Democratic party every way wor-
thy u.' the Presidency can be name! q having
only have the Democracy of these States in
which conventions have been held endorse
and Instructed for Mr.. Pendle.op, nu. N
every State in the Union there is a Stroag
aud steadily growing feeling in his behalf,
and scarcely day passes hut some sound
and faithful organ of the party comes out
in his favor and announces the views Of its
readers to be those Of the statesman Of Ohio.
The South looks upon him and his success
as the last hone n relief from the cpprcs-
sion and miseries its people are now endure
ing, AMI where they have lifted up their
voice it is in unison with the voice Of Ohio
and the great Northwest From these, and
hundreds OF other signs that might be
named, it is evident that the popular heart
is set upon the nomination Of Mr.. Pen lie
ton, and that this determination cannot be
thwa,ted by any combination Of Eastern
bondholders and bankers, without extreme
peril aud fearful complication of our ma
tional troubles. The Democracy of the
West are now united, as they have not been
for years, in favor of Mr.. Pendle,ou, and If
they do but preserve the vigilencc that
should characterize free people in support
of their liberties and principles, as we be-
iieye they will, they connot be defeated
either by the bonds of the Rothschilds or
the Vaccinations Of any combination Of Wall
street money dealers and political trimmers.
