.'riru.U of Mr. Van linn n, that in the event of 1 1 i s ln'inic our r ;iti'l I 1 f t o (lie contest is to he the luot cloe th.it thi country ha ever wiluerd. In thmo opinions we concur, and call 1! poll the national onvcnlion. whatever they omit, not to omit to nominate the tron?rt man. Ourduly toonr democrat

ic friends in other States wonlil not be

properly diiehnrged, should we by our words

or action mIuce them to believe that we could certainly and beyond all doubt carry Indiana for Mr. Van Huron. We think it the irnperate duty of our democratic friends in every StHte where there i not n moral certainty of Mr. Van Huren's carrying the electoral vote, and whore there would be n certainty of some other democratic candidate getting it. not to delay action, bntto take iich measure! at will brins; the facts to the knowledge of Mr. Van Ruren friend throughout the Union, and cpeci illv to the convention, before the nomim-

tiou ii m i

Democratic

sonal preferences when the success of their principles tequires it. Tliey surely 1 would n il wish Mr. Van IJuren to receive the noiiiin-H on with even a possibility of defeat. Should the Convention after an interchange of opinions become satisfied that we have a hard battle to fight, and that General Cass could carry a single

State more than Mr. Van Buren, we will not for a moment doubt but there w.U be

sufficient patriotism in the Convention to

give hi in the nomination. There is another circumstance favor able to the nomination of General Cass

The friends of all the other candidates, after their first choice, prefer him ns second choice. There is id active operation

send to the senate of the United States

induced ns to believe that the votes ofyonr

States would be cast for the democratic candidate for President, we should have nominated another man one more available although our second choice." Which of the Dinncrutic candidates (if the nominee of the democratic convention) would be likely 'to receive the greatest number of electoral votes? Which would bo most certainly elected? Thii it the. question, and the only oho tint should govern t tic convention in making the nomination. From all appearances, either Mr. Van lVircn or General C.ns will receive tho nomination? As to Mr. Van Duron, is thore a moral certainty of his election in the event of hiB nomination? Wh it Slates can he now carry bevond doubt, that went against him in ISiO? Ho may carry beyond doubt, that went against him in 1810? He may

cany Michigan, Iew l ork, Maine, Connecticut and Mississippi, and ho may, or ho may not carry the States of Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina and Georgia. Fcllow-cit zens, let us tax our rccollecliou and go back to 1N32, when (Jen. Jackson and Mr Vjr Buren were nominated by n democratic national convention. Tho democrats of Pennsylvania refused to cast the vole of their Stale for Mr. Van Buren for Vice President. In 183t, he received the vote of thai State

f..r Y'i0dNb-nt l.v n m . Itllmri'.u nil!

another democrat in place of A. S. White. With Gen. Cas for a candidate tho democracy of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania would again hold up their heads as in tho best days of their prosperity, when they rallied around the stan dard of the Hero of New Orleans, and we should have hopes of even Massachusetts, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Louisiana. Against Gen. Cass (the Whig candidate)

Henry Clay would with certainty count

only upon the vote of Vermont, Rhode

Island, and Kentucky. A man like Gen. Cass, who has all tho requisites for a

democratic President: who was appoint

ed Marshall of Ohio by JefRrson; who, after serving in the Legislature of Ohio, and assisting in tho arrest of Burr; who when his country first called, volunteered his services in her defence, and was by tho free choice of his companions in arms placed at the head of a regiment of volunteers, und with them marched through an unbroken wilderness hund.cds of miles,

from Ohio to Detroit in Michigan; who j Q rj

commanded me lust American troops that

emblcd, we pledge ourselves to go fjr the

nomination, the whole nomiu.iuon, anu

nothing but the nomination.

Kcoolved, That in the opinion of this

meeting the democratic StaU convention to assemble here on the Kb inHnnt should select electors for President and Vice Pres

ident of the 1'. S. from the democratic party, without regard to their individual

preferences, and that the electors thus chosen, should stand pledged to support the democratic nominees. Resolved, That although we have the utmost confidence in our strength to nominate Gen. Cass, in the opinion of this meeting it would be unwise and impolitic for the State convention to express any proferences among the distinguished Democrats, whose names are spoken of in connexion with the oiTice of President and Vice Trceident of the United States. Resolved, That the chair appsint a cen

tral Slate corresponding committee of nine to correspond with Democratic county com.

mittecs throughout the State for the purpose of securing the vote of Indiana in trie national convention to be given to General

Cass, and secure his nomination lor I resi

dent, whereupon Gen. J. P. Drake, Ur. u. Dunlap, Alexander F. Morrison, Horatio J. Harris. W. W. Wick, Thomas Johnson, R. May-hew, II. Talbott. and Nathaniel Rolton were appointed such committee. Resolved, That for the purpose of ensuine unity of action, and u certainty ot'at-

telition to this matter, that the friends of

General Cnss in each county of the Stute be requested tc appoint county and township committees whose duty it should be to open an active correspondence with each other throughout the Stale, and the friends of Gen. Cuss in other States, and with tho

central committee at Indianapolis, and that such committees be appointed on or before

the first Monday " April next.

Resolved, That we recommend to the citizens of tho State of Indiana friendly to the election of Genera) Cass, that they hold

couuty and township meetings for the pur-

pose of instructing the ueinocrauc ociu-

gates to the National Convention, to support nnd urge the nomination of Gen. Lewis Cats of Michigan, as the favorite candidates of Indiana, for the office of President of the United States. Resolved, That Democratic Editors of newspapers throughout the State are tc
