Alt this. however, is past. A general shout of approbation goes up 'as the intelligence spreads itself over, the land, and Pien who but yesterday spoke of the 'Prospects of the cause with distrust and sadness, now grasp each other by the hand and ex change cheering anticipations. ,They cannot but feel that'whatever may have been their attachment to individuals, the course pursued in , the emergency— and it . was an emergency of the most formidable kind,--is at once the dictate of Trisdonrand policy. By the nomi nations which have been made. every one sacrifices eomething of his previous wishes upon the altar of the general good,—each man yields , a little to his neighbor, and no one e au 'say that he alone has been compelled - to abandon his position; for all find themselves in a different attitude from any which had been expected.' The nomination which bad been mate, is of new men--of men whose; names had Scarcely been in the slightest degkee mingled in the dis cussion; and, by selecting them, no ground is lift for - jealousness, heart burnings or reproach. " The banner in. scribed with the names of - hams K. PoLs, and 4 GEOR6E M. DALLAS* is a tlig4:4lcl3 gathers every democrat be. taitEits folde, and enlists every ener gy. ' , But it is not atw , new men" only in regard to there nominations, that we rejoice *the names of Polk and Dal- las. A large share of the pleasnre with 'which the selection is hailed, arises from a firm and 'well founded belief in the popular mind that there sire no bet ter men - --none more free from stain or mom unatiaailable by calnmny. The country haat seen James K.

It has come nisexpectedlyr to be sure, and sooner than the anticipation, but its riming not the less agreeable` 'from the'rapidity of its approach; for every subseipAnt act - of Polk's political, life, as Speaker of the Iloui:e, as Governor of the State of Tennessee, and in-every position which . has given' opportunity for observation, has s.erved to increase and strengthen our belieOn iiis fitness for any duty that, coeld confided to: him. . ", Of GEORGE ItitITLINPALL/113. One of Pennsylvania's most distinguished sons. it is scarcely necessary to speak. Hid brilliant talents, sound democratic principles, and long services on behalf of the cause, are familiar to all, and there is no station to which he couldbe elevated 'wherein he would not be 'lan honor both to Pennsylvania and tothe country at large. A better choice could, not have been 'made, it wil be received, we are sire, wits univirsid, approval. - "In every respect, then these nom inations are, such as must obtain the enthusiastic support of the Democracy of the Union. and we shall be greatly mistaken indeed, if they do not secure such a triumph to the cause"as will overwhelm opposition so completely that it must abandon hope for thelu lure. "It is true that what has been dope at Baltimore is not in accordance with the expressed will of Pennsylvania, nor with the course which as journalists we have heretofore pursued as regards the selection of candidates ; but, on calm reflection, it'appears to us to be for the best. We have have the highest ad miration for the personal and political character of Manna VAN Burma . . We regard him as one of those statesman of whom his country-has abundant reason to be proud, and whose place in her history will be such as ambition itself might envy. Nor are .we satisfied that his worth is yet as fully appreciated as it should be. - We believii too; that in recent. p ccurrences which led to the se lection of another name than his as our rallying cry in the approaching contest, his conduct was the result of deep seat ed and conscientious conviction, and that it wailin 'strict accordance with his I unvarying integrity; but we cannot , close our eyes to the fait that the'state of opinion, not so much in Pennsylva nia as in other sections , of the union, in reference to the exciting question to ;which we refer. was such that another course than that which has been pur sued might have led to disorganization and defeat; and, feeling this, we are assured too that in such a strait, Mr. Van Buren hip:mall . would be among . the first to yield his own claims, for the promotion of the common Cause cif de 'niocratic principle, and to" sacrifice° his own advancement for the general bene— fit. No man is More sincere in Ma patriotism, or more horiest in the ex pression of his views ; and even those who differ from him - upon the subject of Texas, will icknowledge the disin .teresteduess and magnanimity which ha has displayed in regard to that sub ject, as he has upon all others. If they cannot agree with him,, they must at least honor him, and part from him with emotions of sincere respect. • " But, with a glance only at consid titration* of this character, our pupose now is to raise to 'the masr-head the flag of POLE and Daum. Whiie it is "Streaming o'criiiii \ ." the 'legions of democracy will assemble with a quick and joyous step. No word-of discord I can create discontent or. apathy:. All are satistipci, and we think it may be promised that when thus called upon, ' Pennsylvania in November next wilt roll upon 'the foe with the avalanche'of one of her Old fashioned \ majorities.-- The Jacksonian spirit will be up ; for both Polk and Dallas' are worthy roll lourens of the patriot of the Be"nrijtege,\ and we feel saluted that the yeoma;iiy of Pennsylvania will be rejoiced to great them as such.
