NATIONAL CONVEKTIOX. men T8I ffiluntl.nu WTtttlWM

The danger that may be apprehended 16 eur liberties, by the doctrines of the proposed National Convention, will becomc strikingly apparent, by Carrying it ctit to its fall extent. Let the precedent be once established, that National Conventions are proper for nomina ting the President and Vice President, it may be readily made to appear equal!r proper that the National Convention should also norn inate the elector^, for these offices in the differ' cnt States. It is true, tl»at these electors are state officers, confined and limited by the Constitution in all their duties, to the

They might have replied

State in which

and for which they are elected, yet as they are the orgafts through which the President nnd Vicc President ore chosen, the"Fame arguments titcd to sustain a National Convention for their nomination, would not be much strained to make it appear that the electors are alio essentially national in their characters. It jn an acknowledged maxim, that when a pow*er given to, or duty enjoined to be exercised ?,/by any body, all things necessary to enable that body to cxecute that power* or duty, lire granted as a matter of course therefore, if it is Shneccssary to have a National Convention for nominating the President and Vice President, it is equally nccewary for it to nominate (he electors for the different States. If it should r.of, tho electors nominated in the different states may defeat the nomination. I am aware \h that the advocates of a National Convention think it properand nccessnry for nominating the

President the step from his doctrine to the ^nomination of the electors is shorter and easier than the leap over the Constitution, and the spirit and genius of our in.«ti ulion«, to arrive «t the first doctiine! The first being established, the other follows almost of cour«o. The mind is prepared to sanction it without a question.-— looking to the practice of State Conventions as ii precedent for National Conventions, it will be seen that (hay nominate electors &c. when they nominate candidates and why may not the delegates from the state, in a National Convention, nominate the eh ctor# for that state, as .delegates from the counties nominate clcctors in a State Convention?

But what nssftrane.es have we that the evil will stop here? May it not be soon discovered that United States' Senators are national officers, deserving tho attention of a National Convention! For, as the Piesid^nt and Vice Pffjiidrnt are nation*! officers, far four years, *o arc United Slates'Senators national officers fxs six years. Yea, and they are executive Vjiirfws, too,for they nanctionor reject appointf^fnenl.11, approve and reject treaties, and are theconstitulir.nal advisers of the-Presidents—

The transition from thence will be eaty to minatiug member* of the House of lit*preventatives, for thrse are also national officers for (too years, and besides, they may become electors of President and Vice President, notwithstanding the careful and prudent arrangement of political power, by a National Convtntion to avoid it. As this may be the case, and it is the tendency cI all bodies to endeavor to strengthen themselves in tho exercisc of power, it will bo important for the National Convention to have tho control of the House oPRtprescntatives.asthey might he frustrated in their ^tiews of tlj,^dUiiibuUon of executive patron-

Improbable as it may teem to most of my reaer|, that these extreme cases will cvcif be acted upon by a National Couvention,yet I think It will be granted that, in all human affairs, the first departure from correct principles is by far tno most difficult and dangerous. If it had been told to our sturdy and liberty-oving ancestors, at the time they were framing the federal constitution, with such extreme care and caution ns to refuse «clause to permit the electors of President and Vice President to meet in a central place, in one grand Electoral College, or Convention, to elect tkese officers, for fear of ^Intrigue,corruption and consolidation—I s*y if it" had been seriously told to them that theirimmediate descendants would adopt «n expedient to put in practice the tame measure in a worse, because more irresponsible form, they would have treated it as an improbable prediction.-

4*that

despotism does

jot usually advance with so great a stride at ©nee. The benefit of our labors and example will not so soon have lost their influence. Do you suppose that we will not instil into our ichildiv.n the principles for which we expended our blood and treasure, and endured the hardship of a revolution, and are now laboring with io much arc and nnxictv to secure the precious iberty wc achieved I you think wc are ftiowso extremely earcful to guard against in^rigut, corruption, consolidation and despotism, ecause we have the least apprehension that our immediate descendants will despise the inestimable fruit of our toil and labors? Not in the least! It is for generations

remote that

wc are now to be solicitous. The time may at some remote period arrive, when this infant nation shall have arrived at tho ripeness and rottenness of anovfcrgrdttn and luxurious population, that what you predict may happen but before that period many gisidual changes must take place and we hope, by extreme caution ftt presei\|, to put o(T the monster, Consolidation to the latest moment that liberty will be a Messing to any people^to that moment when they shall."become so corrupted as to need a despotic Government" to protect them from jheir»flvesun

Uat that these cases arc not so very extremely improbable as some Inay-imagine, is made eV3*ttt by the- exceedingly anti-democratic

?prevention,

,-yjnrr of choosing delegates to the National dictated by the late Ilarnsburg li^atiifc caucus. One wetfld sQpposfe that a resolution, sanctioning a National Convention, w0ulJ»hav$ beon quite enough to l»c§iti with, espe&Mi|r a« tho nwroberi of the legislature reflected without reference to the Presidential succession, upon the principle of ttmon xd harmony, but they proceed a step farther

and dircct tnat to the National Co*ivtotion shall be ck\*eA,lbthe deftprtestfthe Stat* CoaofH/ioH of 1S35» Why place the power, to nominate the President, so far from the people This is no extreiM case, at least to denoeriaff priaciples- ^The troth ts, that extreme cases lofac that quality when we become familiar with them. A* National Cdft vention for oominnting the President, woold re been an extreme mea«*c to the de»o» is of *98 and it woold have been the titreme pf ifeat time,

Imagine that democrats would remove the power to nominate a President, so far from tb^eople, as to direct another body to choose delegates for them.— That a National Convention, if it be flow sanctioned,will at no other remote period, nominate Electors, Senators, and everr Representatives, is a prediction not at all more improbable now, than it would have been in *98, to have predicted that, at this time, a National Convention would be advocated asa democratic measure. 1 ask, therefore, the people of P#isyP Viiniaand the Union those

AS ou.iTroY

PrcSfiodnCed by Richard Morlimef borwine, in tho Court Ilouft) at Newport, Vermillion Caunty, Indiana,on the 8th of January, 1834.

FELLOW CITIZENS: There can be no clearer manifestation of the gratitude of a Republican people than tho unbought nnd exclusively voluntary out-pourings of joy and patriotic homage upon the anual rr r^aaf muo ta Nu tio ni events, towards tho cTefenJers of the country tho pfoplo are ever arixtous to exhibit some token of gratitude. Prophetically was it said, years ago, by a departed statesman Of the Revolution, that the Fourth of July, 1776, would, by generations then unborn, be celebrated with bonfires, illuminations, and other outward demonstrations of public joy, ns an American Jubilee, because of the great good which ho happily predicted would spring from the declaration of "our unalienablo rights" on that eventful day: and with no less regard Tor truth may it be said, that the 8th of January, 1815, although many years after we hud assumed as a Republic a rank amongst tho family of nations en th« Globe, will be written high on the roll of our Country's brightest epochs. Gratitude towards their great men, it has beon said, is not recognized and adhered to as a governing principle by Republics, and until our incalculably valuable and unparelled National Institutions were framed and set in operation, it may have been, and, indeed, we know was the doctrine of many Republics.— With America, however, it is different. She dclithts to honor her distinguished children—those wno have oxertnd their great talents for her welfare in the field, and in the cabinet nnd although pnrtizan disputatious ami political animosities may for a time divide them, in the hour of onf country's daftgei1—when,in tho langnage of a distinguished statesman, the outraged laws of tho latjd call for them—not ono will hesitate what course to take. The blood which was poured out "like rain?' as a sacrifice for Liberty, and which cements that great fabric of human wi.*dom—'.ho constitution ii*-the common property of nil American!), "bequeathed them as a rich legacy" by theirfore-fathers, and to preserve which, unsullied and unpolluted from the touch of officious nbd wily politicians, there will be a unfcm of Amerienn adamantine hearts. Our eonntry will, at such a time, find amongst ber children no lukewarm supporters—and, although in the history of the past, tho may have felt "HI sharper than a serpents tooth it was

child,"

at such a moment, every heart wilt b6 true to the Constitntion add the Cduntry. I hate already «aid that their are other periods in our history, beside* the Fourth of July, to which the patriot may torn his eyes, if not with snore, at least with tqml feelings of National ,prido—periods which can be forgotten only with the close of time. Who am forget them? Look abroad upon this land. Lo«k at these beautifully undulating meadows of Nature! nnd these richly fertile valleys of the Wabash, which, by the great industry of man, have been made to "blossom as the rose." Look on the bo-~~is ef our Rivers—our Lakes—and bow

And when they recollected that they bad a fee to contend against who was poor, inexperienced in the arts of war, and who had never faced like them, the cannon's huge and deadly mouth, they could not bat be sangaiae of «occess But they forgot, my countrymen, if it was possible For them to bare ever known, what acluated freemen to this, as they supposed, mad step- Could they, when they looked above at their National flag, have felt a* pur countrymen did when they saw waving in iignal triumph over their beads the "STAR SFAKGLKO BAKKES," tben^ndeed,might they have known some of the motives that actuated Americans to the fanatic step of opposing them. How greatly foreign were the moving objects of the two opposiug armies! Rapine and plunder, Americaus thought not of, nor was there wafted along their lines any word of encouragement but »KUR COUNTRY," which as it emanated from the lips of their brave commander, was caught op by the gallant and hardy sons of the West, and sent forth upon the breeffi some octaves higher, until th« whole American ranks rang again with its reverberation. Different, very different was it with the British army. p^ri no highsoul and manly enthusiasm was felt. "Hooty and Beauty" were not calcalatcd to call into action such enlightened sentiments, particularly amongst a licentious and debauching snldicry.— Age* cannot wipe off of the British escutcheon the foul, the disgraceful and heinous qtain which that watebward has placed there.

Hut from 1812, until the 8th of January, 2€ 15, was this foe upon otir borders. OU that occasion the brave and gallant Jackson, at the head of a few thousand stout and unquailing hearts gave them on the banks of the Mississippi^ shock that closed the lat scene in that great drama. And what are the consequences of that battle? Let the great prosperity of the couu try, and more particularly the West,answer! Let the increased and increasing happiness of more than twelve millions of freemen, answer! Let the great and growing importance of our com tnefce, and the mastery and sovereignty of our Naty, answer! It will be found full! It cannot but be satisfactory!

But why need I dwell on a subject that Is doubtless familiar to all who hear mc. It the subject of daily gratulation to the whole union, and I trust in God it may never he otherwise.

To-day, fellow-citizens, should not b^ in the feelings which it awakens, unlike our Naliouul Jubilee. Viewed as one of the brightest among the mnny joyful eras in our history, all parties will, I hope, nuite, in banishing from its cele brntion all scctional bias. Political preferences, whatever they may be, should on this occasion be laid aside nnd with our eyes Gxed only on the purity of the constitution and the undiminished stars on our Nation's flag, we will I hope unite in paying patriotiefhomage to the defenders of our country, of whom memory is ever busy on tliisdny. Whilst to Coffee, Patterson, nnd a host of other choice names, we cannot fail to ex tend tho just meed of praise, there is one to whom, as an American, I turn with mingled feel ings of pride and gratitude, not alono for the devotion he exhibited for his Country in the field, hut for the great skill and precision that marked all of his military acts: I mean General Andrew Jackson. And I am not too blind to know that thoro are many in this audience who, in political matters, differ widly with him but I hope I shall not be considered presumptmia whtfn I sny that there are none who will not unite with me in pronouncing the services which, in the late war Im performed for the Government, paramount to all political considerations nnd when I trace his progress through the trying campaigns of the South ,1 am no less forcibly struck with the great presence of mind and diiinterestedness ef pur BSAo thatJSRvenicjJ all bit I reel bound to say, and Toss I could not nave saiil of him. To him, therefore, and the other brave spirits that fought and bled for the country, let the united gratitude of all nscend, and as tho union will ever first claim our gratitude, I am quite sure none of her patriotic sons will be ''gathered to their fathers/' "Unwept, unhonored, or unsung."

At least one half of the democratic members of the Legislature are opposed to a National Convention. This fact is known.

Tnos. P. MOOKE (late Minister to Colombia) was assaulted, and dreadfully beaten, by a Mr. BROWN-, of Louisville, recently. Tho cause is not distinotly made known, though we believe it hai some relation to events long since gone by. Polities, party nnd personal, is last converting some ef tliosu who aspire to be leaders into little else than mere desperadoes, who in every con* test, use physical forco instead of reason and argument. Samuel D. Ingham had to leave the National Capital under an escort, in order to save bit life, thongh bat just ejected from a dignified and responsible office—^TIIOMAS D. AS-

while representing 40,090 freemen in Congress, was assaulted with deadly weapohs, for a mere difference of opinion—»Mr. BLADE, another member of Congfess, had his nose pulled for harmless litnguAge poked in debate added to which, we might cite numerous instances of assault Jn the less dignified walks of political life. It convinces ris that we are decidedly the most pugnacious nation on the face of the g'obe, not even excepting our own foUmr-kuid, where one of her son* lought a boot twenty duels on "mi'reettm*e#ut subjectsI" We are too fond of using harsh language, where gentle reproof would «nswer a better pur tae?fend of throwing suspicions over the tgotivn of those who take the liberty to differ from tfa in opiqioe. This engenders personal di&culticJ, which generally result ja the loss of personal friend*, often in the low of life, and invariably in the loss ef character and standing.
