cent movements and cheering reports from the var- ous Whig Conventions which have been held in ma ny of the States-as the regular candidate of the regular Whg party for the next Presidency. It is said that all of the Whig papers, batting few in Pennsylvania who adhere to the name of Gen. Scott, are strongly in favor of MT. Clay. These journals hold out the apprehension that he will not control the vote of the state On the contrary, it s claimed that the of MT. Clay may safely be relied on from the fact that there is nquestionaby more har- mony and decided unanimity among the Whigs on this subject than exists among their opponents. A National Convention for the purpose of making mo- imitation having been talked of, the Tribune makes the following timely remarks

 "It seems to us that the idea of holding National Convention to nominate is mistaken and preposter- ous. Such a convention, things are, could do mo- thing but declare what every one already knows.

 "And we are sure that nothing exclusive, nothing dicatorial, will be done suffered by MT. Clay's friends. If fairly called Convention of the Wings in any Whg State of the Union shall declare pre- ference for any other candidate, then we shall hold the policy and duty of the vast majority unite in National Convention. Until that time, however, which we are confident will not come-we shall con- slider the matter substantially settled by the sponta- neous and almost unanimous voice of the whg party from Mars Hill to the Sabine, and shall act upon that conviction.

 "such being the condition of the whigs-united, enthusiastic, and burning to punish and efface the treachery by which they have been defrauded of the victory they so nobly won-what is the position of their adversaries

 "All are aware that JOHN C. CALHOUN, backed by

 decided preponderance of the Locofoco strength at w. whether fho aLonh fo1o numbers weight of character, is determined on be- ing their candidate for President: Backed by the whole force of the State Rights section of the par ty, with men of power like Pickens and Rhet and Goode of Va. and Dixon H. Lewis of Ala and Saun- ders of N drillsergeants and the reputed aid of Woodbury of N. H. R. D. Davis of this state and the reversion of Capt. Tyler's meagre capital MT. Call houn certainly presents formidable array for the contest Then there is MT. BUCHANAN, whose name stands at the head of nearly the whole press of the party in Pennsylvania. Then Col R. M. JOHNSON has very decided strength with the rank and ile,' and will not submit to be put aside. Now we enter tain little doubt that MT. VAN BuREN, who can beat them all by long odds in intrigue and management, will, very much to their disappointment and chagrin, obtain the nomination; but he unite the strength of the party? We believe he cannot. It is me thing

 

 few who manage the caucuses-to make fair wealth with Citizen Ritchie, and Ambassador Stevenson, and Gov. Mcdonald, and Old Hickory, and Gov Polk, &c. &c, winding up the with few plea san and facile wine parties at Saratoga but it is quite another thing to concentrate and call out the votes of the masses. MT. Buchanan may stand back though in very pleasant hntnor; but MT. Calhoun is not likely to stand back at all It is morally spea-. l. c.. .lo with new men, Cass, Mclean, &c.-and MT. Ca- nouns ambition to reach the Presidency has long been monOmania."

 The Wings of Vermont at State Convention on the 9th inst, with the most cheering ulianimty. re- nominated Charles Paine, for Governor also, the re-noninations of Dr. Ranney for It. Governor and John Spaulding for Treasurer, were unedly con cured in. correspondent of the Tribune says that "Locofocoism in all it's forms and in spite of it's pertinacious attempts to involve in dis tniop, will receive another Green Mountain ,salloping on the lst Tuesday of September" the time for the State Election to be held; and in conclusion adds |" You shall have good account of us in Septeni- ber."

 The Whie Central Committee of the State of New York have summoned Convention Of Delegates from the several counties in the Stae be held at Syracuse the sth of September next for the nomi- nation of candidates for Governor and It. Governor

 DelaUars-A Whig State Convention, held a, Do- yer the 5,h inst, nominated Henry Clay as their candidate for the Presidency. and John M Clayton for the Vice-Presdency. For the latter office. Hon. est John Davis has been spoken of as being the pre-. ferable candidate at the West.

 Congressional Nominafion-Ezra Wilkinson, Esq. of Dedham, has been nominated by the Locos of the 9th Congressional District ot Massachusetts, as their candidate to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of MT. Hastings. There are now three candidates in the ield viz s. c. Goodrich, Whig Wm. Jackson, Abolition; and Ezra Wilkinson, Loco-Courans.

 MT. Van Buren is now pursuing his tour through the Western, having done up his 'disin.erested bu. siness among the Southern States.

 Gen. Jacksons first election to the office of Presi- dent it is well known, had among its prominent de- mocratic doctrines of the time that of One Term But the old gentleman thwarted such an idea at the close of his first regn and consented to keep the Ex ecutve chair unhamed by foreign invasion another term-doubtless from conscientious motives. Now. Martin is managing with all possible cunning to tread in tkOse 'footsteps-hus endeavoring to keen good his promise to this 'ilusrous predecessor.'- Faithful he.
