The singular spectacle was presented, at successive elections, that while tho Legislature shewed a federal vote tho aprrreeale majority of tho whole state vras Democratic. Therefore, was it, that Uio attempt of the British Whigs to force men into seats to which they had never been elected, recoiled so terribly upon them.

Felix Grundy, esq. calfed the! Convention to order, mid then moved that Govornor Hill of New Hampshire take tho chair and that Geneial Dix of New York be appointed Secretary pro tern. which was agreed to. A. committeo of one from n state was'np nointed to nominate officers for tho perma nent organization of the convention. Also a commute to receive the credentials of the delegates. Mr. Grumly then rose, and proceeded to make somo rematks in favor of a strict scrutiny being instituted into the qualifica tions and rights of gentlemen presenting themselves here as delegates liom tlid re spoctive States, which they profess to re present. He argned that an investigation was necesary, in order to prevent injustice beinu douo to the party, as had been the caso four ycars'ago, in regard to Tennessee He said, that this Convention ought to como out with a clear, candid, and true declara lion of tho sentiments of the Republican party as here represented. If they did so and should be right in the principles avow cd, there could be no doubt that an honest, freu, and independent people would sustain them. Ho repeated, that if this Conven tion were frank with the people, they would he supported, if regarded as being in the right. But they would at least go down under the conscientious conviction of having performed, what they bolioved to be their duly. However, whether right or wrong let us tell them what wo think, and not be guile or denoivo them by acting contrary to out sincere belief. (Loud cheering.) Hav ing said this much, he would now tako his seat: but he would address the Convention on this snbject on another occasion. Mr. Frazer expressed his hope that th Delegates from Tennessee, Mr. Grundy would proceed witti his remarks, tie re ferrcd to the number of Delegates from th State of Pennsylvania, and rematked that it gave a majority of 00,000 lor Uen. Jack son, and asserted that at the coming Presi dential election, the Democracy of the land of Penn, could not be beaten by Tory Fed eralism. The whole Democracy of the State, were here represented, and they would speak trumpet tongucd to tho people. " We," continued Mr. F.

No w, whether it is a consciousness or not that they are acting wrong, he would not say but so it is, that the Whigs are unwilling to disclose to their countrymen tho principles which governed tlicm.or in deed whether they have any principles at nil. Is it not fair to infer that they well know that if they disclose their opinions and the objects for which they aro contend ing, that tho people will never put them in offico I While casting my eyes around tne Toom, I see my Ohio fiiends and this re minds me of Cincinnati and the manner in which the Whigs manage their affairs there. At the closo of Oie late war with Great Britain, was there a man, woman, or child, in that city, who ever thought of taking up tho present Whig candidato for the Presi dency ? Now, I do not wish to detract' from tho merit3 of that individual, for I wish that ho was wiser arid bettor, and more merilorous than he is; but let us sec how ho is to be made President. It will be re- collocted by all of us that when the name of Andrew Jackson was announced tor the Presidency, tho nomination, like a blaze, extended through the whole country, and never ceased to show its light till tho illus trious hero and statesman was elevated to tho Chief Magistracy. It is truo that art, contrivances, &c. pievcnted his election at the first trial; but tho next time nil the do vices of iho Federal party were ineffectual to prevent it. But to return to tho State of Ohio and tho city of Cincinnati. The Whigs there havo a candidato whom they want to make Prasident, and of whom tour years ago ve ry little was heard; bnt within the last few months no mortal man lias ever crown so vastly as he. From a plain honest clerk of a county court, who interfered with nobo dy & with nobody interfered, he has crown to be a astonishingly great man, destined in their opinions to carry all before him. But tboirparl, for avoiding till correspondence on.that subject; fur whether tlley wiolu one wnyTor the other, they would bo placed in an awful predicament.
