 The events of the morning of tlie o9th instant in tho democratic convention, were worthy the best days of the republic. At the moment when the elaied iederalisis sssss- posed that the greats cause of the popular rights was to be sacrificed there by the cons tention of ambitious leaders, and fall under the power of their zealons and exasperatcd champion, they are astounded to see the con- test suddenly cease, aud the contending par ties sunte as . band Of brothers under common leader, in whose cause zeal Is now mauifesled--al hopes concentrated. The scene, inexplicable and confounding to our opponents, is no marvel 10 those who know the spifitof thesAmcrican democracy.

 rheirhonored leaders have but exempliiicd, on this occasion, the deepand abidiagI Iovofor the cause of freedom which anilnates tkcu constituents. Ne had snot, however, sl!;sss=sefsl to hope, ousseIys, forsto memorable asl sxhi- bition oi universal devotion to the cause, as that which the country has just witnessed. We had supposed different leader would have been selected, upon whom the reunion, would not have becnf so sudden and com plele; but we never doubted the same result, sooner or later, with any name the coayen- ton could present. The great and good ii;iii ii;.siiii l5o, for lhe most part, composed the convention, merll the lasting gratitude Of the country, and especially do we think this IS due 70 tfat noble band to whom Mi. Walker of Mississippi, with truth and eIcqaence as like honorable 10 them and himself, attribut- cd the happy result These were the friends of MT. Van Burcn. But whilst il is due to be assigned the chief merit of sell-deaial and concession on this interesting occasion -hol- I9dng, us they aid by tlieir numbers, power lover the conyeniion-the alacrity with which this spirit was met from: all quartess by a corr responding feeling deserves also the applause 1 of the cousltry.

 I We willingly do this justice 10 those sof our party who differed with Us as regards the candidate 10 be selected by. the convention Ne do not wish them to supposey however, tIiat we have aiy apologies to make for our course prior thereto. ihatconsiuct wastiic- ta:ed by what seemed our duty to the canse,. which called upon Us to resist Mliat we supp posed 10 be a movement to sapercede the candidate of the party. That such was ouf opinion, and that we acted upon 1t, i no just ground of offence to any honest inau; and We are willing to leave them 10 slleis ozr:s re- llections and sense of justice 'ofappfeeiase our motives.
