Communications FOR THE FREE PliESS. Mr. Howard: In your last paper I find a notice to the peo ple to meet for the purpose of appointing n Delegate to the Baltimore Convention. As that Convention will be held for the express purpose of nominating a candidate for the Vice Presi dency, I would respectfully pre sent to their attention the name of PHILIP P. BARBOUR, of Virginia. A Subscriber, TOR THE FREE TRES3. To those at nil acquainted with the events that have trans pired within the last two years, it must be apparent that from the moment of Mr. VAN BU REN'S admission into the go vernment, he has been an object of unceasing jealousy on the part of thosewho have recently endeavored to effect his political disgrace. Accusations of a most vague and indefinite cha racter have been preferred a- gainst him and his prompt and manly denial tortured into 4in evidence of guilt. He has been held responsible for all the misdeeds of the administra tion while for the immense benefits it has conferred upon the country, not the slightest credit has been awarded him. Was a minister recalled! Mr. "Van Buren instigated it Was an officer in the departments jomoved? Mr. Van Buren was the cause. The President dis covers that he has been misled in the supposed friendship of Mr. Calhoun and tells him so etill Mr. Van Buren is the indi vidual who is to bear all the weight of that gentleman's in dignation. Subsequently the Chief Magistrate, in the exer cise of a high constitutional coercion of the British govern ment to abandon these protect ing duties. By reference to these acts it will be seen that they imply a demand on our part, to participate in mis iraue without being suojecieu 10 uie restrictions under which other nations enjoyed it. Could we have succeeded in this, our com merce would 'certainly have been benefitted. Still wo can not question the right, however much we may deprecate the po licy, ot her regulating her own colonics in her own wny. The effect of these acts of Congress was to diminish the value of this trade; still, it was considerable and to parts of the country high ly important. At length the Parliamentary act of 5th July 1825, offers this trade to all nations who might within one year accept and reci procate its provisions. The time limited for its acceptance was wasted by Mr. Clay in at tempts to secure it by treaty forgetful that ten years ot truit m0st on.ph.tie manner .tamppdlcl-lm. of iLo State of Virginia the seal of reprobation upon 'he tor cry i n qu stbn; nni futile taken up. and alter explana would nave'been the attempt to lion, from Mr. JcM, WB, . r ! .,n..:t. nrAnrpfi to a tniiu leading. conceal rom u.o ; g. -' TV , 9,,The h:iflo v.. of Lort Aberdeen a iruui which - had been proclaimed at the bal- quidatcthe revolutionary claim lot box and through four hun- of the State of V.rg.n.a.and the di ed presses transmitted to the bill to adjust and pay the claims world.

Such was tho state of things when Mr. McLane was dispatched to London and in the instructions he received are found the sentiments of which such grievous complaint is made. It will be proper to recollect that during the last Presidential election this subject was fully discussed before the people; and the former administration was charged with having lost this trade bv neirleet and mis- - management.
