Well, the Van Buren, Loco-foco Con
vention has labored and brought forth
mouse. The labor, we are informed
was unusually severe and long protract-
ed, but the mother is doing about as
could be expected. After kicking up
row generally, over Van Buren,, Cass,
&c, during the first day, 1t was agreed
in night caucus to sacrifice the smallest
possible victim, and James K Polk was
unanimously put in nomination, as the
most suitable subject; Slas Wright be-
ing appended as candidate for Vice Pres
ident. Mr.. Wright however, being a
man Of talents, judgment and tas;e, res
ponded Instantly that he could not be
made use of in that way-he was anvil
ling to be sacrificed, or at least required
that it should be in good company, and
not in playing second fiddle to James K
Polk. Next came the nomination of the
Hon. --Dallas, who also promptly
declined, and we learn by gentleman
just down the river, that the notorious
blackguard, DIR. Duncan Of Ohio, is the
nominee for Vlce-a business for which
we will do him the justice TO say he is
as well fitted by long practice as any
locofoco in Ohio. We think it was do
ing great injustice to the merits Of Amos
Kendall, Blair, R. NJ. Whitney, Swar-
tout, ct ID omne genus not to put them
on the same ticket. To nominate for
President,


AMOS KENDALL;


For Vice President,


ALEXANDER DUNCAN,


would be doing the thing up more of a
consistent brown, though we are well
satisfied as it is. Polk is at best not O.
yer third rate among the intellectual
masters-but then he is too decent a
man for such company, aud deserved a
better fate than to be knocked in the
head and laid up with such an ironical
compliment.


OF course we claim nc right to med
oie in these chareoio~ family az range.
