On the second ballot, Charles Stewart had
one vote ; and on the third, Levi Woodbury had
two.
After the seventh ballot, the Ohio delegation
feeling that injustice had been done to a majority
of the convention, by the operation of the two
third rule,
Mr. B;irtley, as their chairman, moved to re
scind it. He advanced tho motion at consider
able length, taking much tho same ground as
had been before taken in opposition to the reso
lution, and urging its rescision with great zeal.
Much excitement followed, and the President
decided that a vote of two-thirds was necessary
tertlie adoption of the motion.
Mr. McNul'v, of Ohio, appealed from the de
cision of the President, and after speaking for
some time upon the apeal, gave way for a mo
tion to adjourn, as the excitement had become
so intense and the confusion so great that it wa&
found utterly impossible to transact business.
Wednesday .morninc, May 29.
The convention assembled at 9 o'clock, and
the question being on the appeal of the gentle
man from Ohio, (Mr. McNulty) from the deci
sion of the Chair, after some remarks from Mr.
Bartley, of Ohio, the appeal was withdrawn, and
tho resolution upon which it arose was suffered
to lie on the table.
A motion was then made to proceed to anoth
er ballot
Remarks were then made by Mr. Tibbetts, of
Ky., and Mr. Brewster, Mr. Hickman, and
Judge Bredin, of Pa., in relation to the position
of the delegates from those States. Judge Be-
din concluded by saying that he would stand by
Mr. Van Buren as long as New York and Ohio
stood for him, and then, and then only, would he
desert him; which was received with terrific
cheering.
The Secretary then proceeded to call the
names of the votes, and the 8th ballot resulted as
follows :
For Martin Van Buren Maine, 8; Rhode
Island, 4; New York, 30; New Jersey,!; Penn

The Convention was then addressed by Mr.
Frazkr. of Pa., Mr. Youno, of N. Y., Mr. Ho-
hen of Ga., Gen. Dickerson, of N. J., and Mr,
Hamnett, of N. Y., in speeches full of self-denying
patriotism, which were received with thun
dering applause.
Mr. Hubbard of N. II., addressed the conven
vention in some excellent remarks, and conclu
ded by proposing the name of - ,
J AMES K. POLK, of Tennessee,
as a person upon whom the entiro democracy
could cordially unite; which elicited great ap
plause. -
After some remarks by Gen. Howard, oi JVlu.
Mr. Medarv, of O., then took the floor and in
an able and eloquent speech of considerable
ength expressed his willingness to make any
sacrifice, except a sacrifice ot principles, for the
good of the party, and pledged himself and col
leagues to use every ellort tor the success ol the
nominee.
The Convention proceeded to the ninth ballot,
which resulted in the unanimous choice of James
K. Polk, of Tennessee, for President: of the Uni

members, Mr. Pickens, of South Carolina, was
introduced to the Convention, who, althougti not
a delegate, said that he was ready to respond
with his whole heaTt and soul to the glorious nom

support to Col. Polk.
The convention, alter hav.ng been addressed

Wednesday Afternoon, May 29.
Mr. R. J. Walker, of Miss., then moved that

After the several States of the Union had cast

The Hon. GEORGE M. DALLAS, of Penn

New Haven Reg.
First Own from Pittsburgh Democra
tic Victory S
The Post of Wednesday says : " At the speci
al election held in tho fifth ward yesterday, for a
member of Select Council, William Day the
Democratic candidate, was elected overtho most
popular man the coons could bring into tho field,
by a majority of FIFTY-THREE VOTES ! This
is a glorious presage of what the democrats will
do when brought fairly into action. In the city
of Pittsburgh, the whigs have been organizing
for months, they have seized on every thing that
would add to their prospects; they have lied and
crowed ; and yet they have been beaten, shame
fully beaten, on the very first trial."
This is the way the whigs ratify their nomi
nations ! eh !
Prediction verified. Matthew Lyon, who
was imprisoned under old John Adams for oppo
sing federalism, after his release, declared that
' whoever should live fifty years would find the
federalists to be pretended admirers of Jefferson
and republicanism. I he prediction is fully ver
ified. Nothing is more common than to hoar
the strongest federal whigs declare that they are
good democrats.,
Clay's Hypocrisy.
Soon after his ouel with John Randolph, Mr.
Clay issued an address, to justify his conduct, or
at least, to make the best pcraioie upoiogy ior a.
In the course of that address ho said:
" I owe it to the community to say. that what
ever heretofore I may have dono, or, by inevita
ble circumstances, may be forced to do no niCh
holds in deeper abhorrence than I do, the perni
cious practice of duelling. Condemned as it
must be by the judgmont and philosophy, to say
nothing of tho religion, of every thinking man,
it is an allair ot Iccling, about which we cannot,
although we should, reason. The true correc
tive will be found, when all shall unite, as all
ought to unite, in its unqualified proscription."
This is the same man, who, twelvo years af
terwards, got up tho duel in which Mr. Cilley
lost his life, and he is now under bonds of s5,-
000 to keep tlie peace !
Qfir Tho "Native American" in Philadelphia,
has this anti-republican motto:
" AVc propose to reject foreign interference
from all our institutions, (-social, (gj- reli
gious, and (Vr political!"
What said Jefferson in the Declaration of Inde
pendence, as to the tyrant of England, and as
to parties:
a Ho has endcavorod to prevent tho popula
tiou of these States, for that purposo obstructing
tho laws for the naturalization ot loreigncrs,relu
refusinnr to pass others to encourage their emi
gration thitiicr, and raising tho condition of new
armroprintion of lands."
"Equal and exact justice to ALL MEN, of
whatever state or persuasion, religious or polit
ical. "This is tho Democratic creed ; this is
the motto wo carry upon our banner, which wo
havo always defended, and always shall.
Nicely Caught. Tho Webster Clay men of
Massachusetts hired a young chap to go round
the country to got up Clay demonstrations, rat
ifications, &lc, but before ho got far lie full in
love with a pretty lass in a farmers mansion, and
she affirmed that she wouldn't have him till ho
left tho cooncry. lie left right off.
Clay's Army of Bankrupts.
At the extra session of 1840, the passage of
die Bankrupt law was the great measure of the
whig " relief. " At the next session Clay voted
against its repeal although instructed by Kentuc
ky to Tote otherwise. Read the following:
" Tho Bankruptcy in New York under the late
act was enormous. There were 2,350 appli
cants, 2,020 discharges. The total assets re
ported exceed a hundred millions! The money
realized is only 100,000. The assets of the
Messrs. Joseph are $7,500,000, not a dollar of
which has been realized. I he largest dividend
is from tho estate of E. P. &, H. Heyer, hard
ware merchants, being 29,000. " Eastern pa
per.
Of tho above two thousand and twenty bank
rupts, says the Ohio Patriot, it is reasonable to
suppose that 1,500 already belong to Clay Clubs.
How many of them report resolutions, make
stump speeches, run for office on the 'coon tick
et, denounce Mississippi repudiation, and (al
though bankrupt themselves) undertake to teach
the people how tho finances of the government
should be managed, may be easily estimated by
what we see around us in Ohio. It seems that
there were 330 applicants who did not burst big
enough to get discharged !
Ingratitude. It has beeu a matter of much
wonder that after Honest John Davis, as Gov. of
Mass., had loaned Rhodo Island men and guns
to shoot the Dorr party, that her delegates in the
Baltimore Convention should have refused to
vote for him on a nomination. Tho Boston At
las complained of Rhody, and her federal organ,
the Providence Journal replies:
"In the opinion of the people of this State we
did not, at the time ot our aiiucutties, receive
from John Davis that assistance which ice had a
right to expect Jrom the irovcrnor of Massachu
setts?1
That's the satisfaction honest John gets, when
he charges ingratitude !
"Henry Clay has toe many heresies about him
ever to gain my support. Darnel V coster.
The immoral Daniel Vebster is now stumping
it over the land fbr his great rival. The sen
tence that he uttered in an honest hour is forgot
ten. The 'many heresies' he is willing to swal
low for tho reward that may follow. If Daniel
were not purblind he would see that while the
whigs are willing to use him, they put their
thumbs to their noses and quietly whisper "you
caiCt come it ."' Gin. Enq.
Look on this picture!
" Mr. President, it is not true and I rejoice
that it is not true, that EITHER OF THE TWO
GREAT POLITICAL PARTIES, in this coun
try, has ANY DESIGN or AIM AT ABOLI
TION. I should deeply lament if it were true, "
Clay's Speech, Feb. 1839.
And on this!
" Now, as in 1840, ice contend for the ABO
TION of the ODIOUS institution of domestic
SLAVERY by any and every Constitutional
means." Vermont Whig State Address.
From IIavanna. We copy the following
from the New Orleans Picayune of the 18th.
By the araival of tho steamship Alabama, we
are in receipt of our Havanna letters.
The contemplated insurrection is supposed to
have been completely thwarted. All free for
eign negroes have been compelled to leave the
island, No executions have taken place yet,
and very few are looked for
- 07- Let Henry Clay be elected, and you will
have a United States Bank; a High Protective
Tariff; the State Debts will be assumed, and a
law be passed for the distribution of the proceeds
arising from the sales of the Public Lands, not
amoni; the States, but among the Whig oflice
holders. On the other hand, let the nominee of
the Democratic National Convention be elected,
and you will have no $50,000,000 monster no
assumption of the State Debts no distribution
of the proceeds of the Public Land Sales no
High Protective Tariff, for the exclusive benefit
of eastern capitalists.
DEMAoofiuisir. "I place country far iibovo all
parties," said Henry Clay in a recent speech at
New Hanover, North Carolina.
Ala barbecue held in Baltimore in 1828, (his
same demagogue Clay, then Secretary of State,
declared that in preference to tho election of
Gen. Jackson,
"He would humbly prostrate himself before
God and implore his mercy to visit our favored
laud with war, with famine, with Pestilence,
or with any other scorge."
' COURAGE.
It will not be denied that Mr Clay has a spirit
that will not cower before defeat and misfortune.
At the extra session he based his fortunes on his
bank and distribution schemes, and in eight
months thereafter the whig party lost nearly eve
ry.. State in tho Union. Now he has the cour
age to erect tho sumo deadfall for himself and
party, which will again fall and crush him and
them as before. Cm. Enquirer.
It is thought that tho reason why Mr. Clay
left Washington so suddenly and sloped home so
silently, was his having picked up a democratic
newspaper in which ho discovered Jackon's o-
m'.Tion of him:
C - . . . .?17.
" Under suca circumstauces now comcmpiunc
docs the demagogue appear, when he descends
from his high place and roams about the country
retailing slanders upon the living" and the dead."

it up yiow! Gen. Clay, ot tho American devo

The Ren. Mr. Stockton introduced the subject
of politics into a discussion during the celebra
tion of the late anniversary of the Sunday school
Union, in N. York, and delivered a speech in ia-
vor of the election of Mr. rrelinghuysen.
Not a word about Clay or Bear, tho".
We don't know that the federalists will have
the impudence to designate Henry Clay u log
cabin candidato, for ho lives upon his own hun
dred thousand dollars estate, which is worked by
fifteen thousand dollars' worth of slaves; and he
scorns a homely cup f "hard cider1' so long as
he can riot in costly Champaigne. -
Bravo. A Vermont koon was so indignant at
what the domocrats charged Mr. Clay with say
inir about slaves " if gentleman wouldn't let

that ho jumped right up and swore ho did'nt

the old candidates, and bring forward new ones,
In accordance with this determination, Gov.
Polk of Tennessee, was unanimously nomina-
ted for President, amidst cheers that made the
welkin ring.
Silas Wrioiit having declined tho nomina-
tion for Vico President, George M. Dallas, of
Penna. was unanimously nominated for that of-
fice.
Our ticket is now formed. JAMES K. POLK
and GEORGE M. DALLAS! two nobler names
can not bo found in tho whole galaxy of Demo-
cratic stars! Tho friends of Van Buron, Cass
Johnson and Buchanan in short, every demo-
crat in the nation, will give to the nominees a
cordial and undivided support.
Three loud huzzas for Polk and Dallas! All
tho elements of discord are hushed and still, and
their election by a triumphant majority, is as
certain as tho noon-day sun gives light! Along

and Dallas! " Self-denial concession union
liarmony every thing for the cause, nothing

. A JVATIOXAL BAftK.
The incorporation of a National Bank, with a
capital of $50,000, appears now to be a darling
object with the federal party. Both Henry Clay
and Theodore Frelinghuysen were "panic ma
kers" in the dark days when bank screws were
oppressing the people, and it was Frelinghuysen
(says the Pennsylvanian,) who announced to the
Senate when the whole country was con
vulsed by the nefarious efforts of the Bank
to wring by torture a re-charter from tho
hands of tho unwilling people, that he had
just seen Mr. Biddle hi his Bank parlor, and
tnat he was "calm as a summer's morning,
while all else quivered under tho systematized
process of terrorism devised in Chestnut stttet
and rcmorsely carried out in the chamber of tiitf
Senate by Clay, Frelinghuysen, and their coad
jutors, who, by their cries and their croakings,
and their announcement of "revolution bloodless'
as yet," sought to terrify the American people)
into a base submission to the money power. It
has always appeared to us that the events of that
memorablo panic session, particularly as regards
the Senate, have not been sufficiently borne in
mind by tho community. To our view of the
subject at least, it is perhaps tho most disgrace
ful page in the history of the republic, and should
bring irrevocable condemnation upon all who, to
gain their own ends, did not hesitate to lend
themselves to a plan of operations intended to
force compliance to the wishes of the Bank by
creating a widespread ruin. While the Bank, af
ter scattering her deceitful favors with a prodi
gal hand in every direction, was then grinding
her unfortunate debtors to tho earth, Senators
could be found men now in nomination for the ,
highest offices in the gift of the people who
gave themselves up day after day, week after
week, month after month, to the work of endeav
oring to lash the people into the despair of fear,
in the hope that at last democracy might be in
duced to surrender itself to the tender mercies
of il3 enemies. One of those panic making S en
ators was Henry Clay another was Theodore
Frelinghuysen, and they now come forward to
gether to submit themselves to the suffrages of
that very people whom ten years ago they would,
by an organized plan of terrorism, have driven
into tho toils of the Bank. Let all these things
be freshly remembered; for the events of 1834.
furnished an illustration in regard to politics, and
politicians of a certain class, which, if taken wise
ly, is worth all that was suffered to obtain it; and
though it is now the people's turn to be "calm
as a summer's morning, ' it may not be amiss to
recollect when it was not so and why it was not
so.
" WOOL MARKET.
During the last week there hasbeoan a very
brisk demand for wool. The clip of this county
alone will not fill short of 200,000 lbs. Prices-
range from 25 to 40 cts. according to quality.;
The average price will be about 35 cts. which"
will bring into this county the handsome sum
of ,G0 or 70,000 dollar
'

Our friends Messrs, S. & II. McFuddcn ex
hibited to us yesterday a very beautiful lot of
fine Saxony wool the growth of this county.--It
is gratifying to know that our farmers are tur-,
ning their attention to this department of hus
bandry. This region of country is peculiarly

of Harrison is capable of supporting triple tho
number of sheep she has at present. We
have not the least doubt but that in a few years
our county will vie with Washington county, :
Pa., the great wool region of that State.
07" Our old friend, John Y. Glessner, of the
Mansfield Shield and Banner, has commenced
the publication of a campaign German paper,
entitled " Der Deutsche Dcmokrat, ' at the low
price of 25 cents. It is a racy little sheet, and
will do much good amongst our noble-hearted '
German population. There is no mistake but
that tho Germans will vote right if they are only
made acquainted with the true policy of the fed-
eral party. Tho recent charier eloctiou in. tho
city of New York, and the more recent riots in
tho city of Philadelphia, show to what extent
tho intolerant and persecuting spirit of Native .
Americanism and Federalism will go, for tho
purposo of crushing down and tyrannizing over
every man who has sought an asylum in "the
land of the free and the home of the brave."
A laud of liberty anJ democratic institutions is
autagonistical to the policy and principles of tho
Federal party. In a monarchical and tyrannical
government, they would mako capital monarch-
ists and tyrants.
ISartlcy's Speech.
The federal papers are publishing a speech of
Mordecai Bartley, tho old colhn-hand bill ped-
lor, and coon candidate for Governor, said to have
been delivered recently at Cleveland, lho
