During the discussion winch had just taken place in the committee room a mong the Mow York delegation, the qucs- ion was whether they had yet fulfilled their pledge, and were at liberty to withdraw the same of their distinguished fellow citizen.

Under these circumstances the convention could imagine the painlulneas ol his position. Mr. Uutler s remarks at this point were peculiarly eloquent and fueling, riveinng the attention of the convention. Although he had brought to this city a letter from Mr. Van Uuen authorizing him to withdraw his name if in his deliberate judgment he should find it necessary, he had kept it a profound secret even from his colleagues. He there fore told them that if they did not advise I hi in ?iaiust it, ho ehould feel it his dutv to honest, and faithful lo all his trusts. Hi fell satisfied that he would roi-eive from 15 to 20,000 majority in Now York, and thai his nomination would heal all those dilhcul ties upon which the whigs had built all their hope of success. It has been my pnvilege, continued Air. U., a few weeks hick, lo spend some hap ny davs under the snne roof Willi the ven erablo patriot Jackson, at the Hermitage.

He found that their first cho:ce was still the same, and tiiat he looked for ward to the contingency which had here risen with despondency. Notwithstanding which he was satisfied that he would hail the' nomination, whatever It might be, if based on union and harmony, with grutifi cation. Since he had been in Ibis city, he had received a tenor from this honored pa triot, the postscript of which he read to the convention, as follows; "May God bless you, my dear friends, and may he guide all the deliberations ol the convention, leading them in union and harmony lo act for the bests interests of ui) beloved country The de'egates from North Carolina.Ohio 1 enneisee, Mississippi, and nearly all Hi other Swiss made some eloqtieHl and with responses lo the nomination through tlieii several chairmen, which caused the greates good feeling to pievail.

After the enthusiasm ol this announce mout had subsided, Mr. Fine of New York ir. behalf of Air. Wright.rolurtied his llianks io the convention Tor the honor which had been conferred u 0 i him. Ho had had an interview with Alt. Wright, a few day iitice, in Washington, and his lasi word io him were to withhold his name from this convention, and not allow it to bo used in any event.

POI,I, THE CANDIDATE or T11K DEMOCRATIC PAU ty run the presidency. Since Mr, Polk hat received tlio nomina tion of iho Democratic party for ihe officr if President, the events nf his life and hie public career have become mallets of publn interest. We find n brief biographical sketch in tlio New York Pleblan, which gives tho public cantor of ibis gentleman, which wo extract. It will be seen that Mr. Polk was born on lli6 2d of November, 1700, and is tlicrofoto in his 49th year. This is a ripe age when the intellect of llie individual has been nialtlicd by Knowledge and experience, apd the passions and preju dices nf eat licr years so sobered and mel lowed by time as to assist ihe judgment. " All. Polk was born iu Meeli?enburg county, North Carolina, on the 2d of No vember, 1700, and consequently is now in the -10th year of his age. His nnccslois emigrated more than a century ago, from Ireland. 1 he original name was Pollock! but an elision of two of the middle letters has changed the name to a monosyllable. 1 hey first established themselves in the State of Maryland, whero many of tha fam ly still reside. Previous lo the Uuvolut on arv War, tho branch ol the family Irom which sprung the distinguished gentleman who is tho subject of tins short biography, and who is destined lo 111! ono of the most exalted .sta'ions in (lie world, removed to Carlisle in the State of Pcnns) Ivania, and thenco to the western frontier of North Car olina- Tho part taken by tho Polk family in the glorious struggle fur American Indo pendencc is one of rare distinction. On tho 20lh of May, more than one year ante rior to the Declaration of Independence, thr inhabitants of Mechlciiburg couniy,the birth place of Mr. Polk, assembled and public! absolved theinselvcs from their allegiance to the llrilUh ctowu, and issued a declaration to that effect. The terms of manly clo qunncc in which (his manifesto was written has caused it to bs tot mod by some wa first Declaration ot Independence. (Jul. I ho mas Polk, tho great uncle of James It. Polk the present Democratic nominee for the Presidency, was, ono of tho prime movers ind a signer ol this first Declaration of In dependence. The ovidence of tho authen ticity and genuineness ol this interesting document has been collected ,by the Legis lature of North Carolina, and deposited in tho arclnevcs ol the btate. I lio people ol Alcchlenburg were almost lo a man, staunch Whigs in iho revolutionary neplatiou of the term, and have ever since been very remarkable for their firm adhcranre to De mocratic piinciplcs. As in evidence of the unwavering condition of the Democracy of Mechlenbuig county, il has often been ob served of them, in t style of humor and pleasanliv, that, at Ihe last war, they took up arms six months before the Govern men! and did not lay them down until 12 mouths after. In the mighty struggle fur Independence- the relatives of Air. Polk dis tinuuislicd themselves. 1 o be allrd to such n people to be the descendant of such an ancestry is a fit subject of honorable pride. The American people ever have manifested an affectionate regard for the sa ijt'8, heroes and martyr6 of the Revolution They furnish proofs that Republics are not ungrateful. The father of Mr. Polk was o farmer ol unassuming pretensions, but enterprising character. In curly life he was thrown on his own resources, and became the archi tect of iiis own fortune, Ho was a warm supporter nf Jefferson and through life a firm and consistent Republican. In the nu lumu of 180G he removed to I ennessce,and settled on the fertile valley of the Duck riv er, then a wilderness, but now the most flourishing and populous portion of the Stale. In lilts region Mr. Polk still resides; so thai it may be said of him thai ho has grown with lis growth, and strengthened with ns strength. Of course in the infanct of the country the opportunities for instruc tion could not bo very great, still he acquir ed the elements of a good English education. I iic constitution of Mr. Polk bring feeble, his father determined against the will of hie sou, to make a commercial tpau ol iutn,and witli litis view placed him with a merchant. Ho remained, however, but a few wepks in a situation 60 adverse to his wishes, and in compatible witli his taste. In July 1812. he was placed under the care of tho Rev. Dr, Henderson, and subsequently at llie A- cademy ofMurfrecsboiongh, Tennessee, then under llie charge of Mr. Samuel P, lllaek justly celebrated as a classical teacher, hi the autumn ol 1BI&, ha entered the Univcr shy of North Carolina, having in about twe vcars and a half thoroughly prepared him self to commence his collegiate course Upon wJil slender thread somelhies banc the destinies of a man's life!

The early personal tinil pulitical I'rinnd'of General Jackson ho was one of thoso who nave his vote to call that Ihtingiiishrd man to tho Senate of the Um ted Stales. In August 1820, being then, in his lliirli ctli year, Mr. Polk was chosen to repre sent his district in Congress, and in Decent ber following took Iiis seat in thai body, where lie remained until the year 1838. lie brought with him into tho national conn oil certain fundamental principles to which he uniformly adicrcd through all iho inula nous of the party. Ilcing from his early youth a Republican, lie has over regarded the Constitution of the United States as an instrument of specific ar.d limited power.", which doctrine is al the basts oj, the llciio 'tratic creed. Mr. Polk is a strict construe tionist, and has ever opposed the latitudina nan interpretation that federalism gives to the Constitution, and which tend lo the cousolodation of ail power in the general government. Ho took early ground against both the constitutionality and expediency of an United States Hank) and iu August 1820 months bennc the appearance of General Jackson's first message, lie published a IcU ler to his'constitu'ents containing Iiis views. lie strenuously advocates a reduction of the federal revenue to the economical wants the government' which should be raised by a tariff based upon revenue principles, and afford such incidental protection as may be tiotcssary to sustain American manufactures. During General Jackson s term ho was firm suppuricr of Iiis administration, and on certain questions ol gteat importance, its chief reliance. In the hour of trial he was never found wantinc, or from his post. In December, lie was placet! on tho tm portant commiltco of Foreign Affairs, and shortly after at the head of the Select Com mittcu to which was relerrei. the portion ol tho President's message calling llie attention of Congress lo the probable accumulation of i surplus in thu treasury alter the extinguish incnl of the national debt. As the head of this commiltco he made an able report, re pletc with sound argument and doctiine tbh enforced, deuyinc the constitutionality of the power to collect money from ihe people by taxes, and then distributing it; and main tained that the revenue should be reduced to the wants of the Government. In December, 1832, ho was transferred to thd Committee of ways and means, tin most important committco of tlio House. There again lie distinguished himself, and was placed al the head of the committee. Ills coolness promptitude, aid abundant in tcllectual resources were never at fault : ant through the whole of the stormy period ol Jackson s administration, caused by the vi olent opposition of tlio United States Hank, Air. Polk enforced with great power and ability tho propriety of tlo ineastites of tin admir.istratipn. In December, 1835, Mr. Polk was chosen Speaker of the House, and elected again in 183?. During the wlvoli term ol his Speak orship, in all the cmctgencics in which Ik was called upon to act, ho sternly adhered to Iiis convictions of duly, and few. men have ever pursued a firmer or more consist eni course than Mr. Polk Notwithstand ing the violenco witli which ho was ubsail cd by the opposition in the House, Con giess passed, at the close of the session ol 1838, an unanimous vote of thanks to him as tho presiding officer, from whom it separi. ted with the kindest leelingf ;. and no man cn inyrd i's cotifidcm o or friendship in a high or degree, 11 is calmness and good tomper frenucntly allayed the violence o nppnsi ttnh, a power for which his coolness and sagacity eminently qualified him. In 1830, Mr. Polk was elected uovcinor of llie Siate of Tcnnessco, which office lie held until 181 ! Thus wo seootir candi late for tho Presidency has tilled various honorable stations in tho councils uf the na lion, and tho highest office iu the gift of the people of his State. And he is deslin cd shortly to be elevated to the highest of all oarihly stations.
