I turn round and oppose the policy which j has always guide J the party in this State, j and give aid and comfort to its enemies by ! calling the Convention at tho time speci fied, in conformity to the customs and usa o-es of the party. Surely nothing but the . f". greatest anxiety to demonstrate his patti - otism to the satisfaction of the Republicans could have induced him to pursue a course caIc u Iated to lessen tlip confidence of the people in Hint party, the adoption and cartempt made by the Ledger to commit tlie party to the Republicans before the sitting of the Convention, we take pleasure in assuring it that there will be no effort made i . - - .
