to Lc made by a vjtcol t .vo .thirtla of the Con
vection , -
Among thofco w io have played false in this
matter arc certain of the delegates from Penn
sylvania. Alj the delegates from that State
had been conincllcjj to make written pledges
that they would vote' for Mr' Van Buren's
nomination, and uso all their influence , la ef
Skct it. Let us sec how they redeemed this
vledrrc. In a letter which ve And in jester
- day morning'SiPttinsylvanian, written at Dal
timoro on Monday, before tho two.lhirds
rule had been adopted, ia tho following pas
' It was reported this piorning that, al
though the delegation from Pennsylvania, who
are pledged tojvot ; for Mr. Vun 13urcnand'to
uso all their inline :ico to cflect his nonuha.
lion.1 would cast tlkir ballots for him i when
mminatcd, ycj Uu would vote for the two
thids rule proposcc by the opponent of Mr.
Van Buren, arid v hich might in tcalify de
feat his nomiaatioi , when their votes igiinst
that rule would1' effect his nomination1 o.t once.
It was thought ihaL the course of tho - Penn
sylvania delegates on this point might decide
ihc question, ilov tho matter actually glands
1 do" not know J hi t my bcl ief is, from the
character of aom of the delegates ; whom
! have had an opportunity to-converse !with,
that they would, never consent thus fo do indi.
rcctly what they had pledged themselves not
to do directly. If tho Pennsylvania delega
tion uVmly sustain Mr. Van liurcn, not mere-
Jy by voting on
his
nomination,, but by la.
the various matters that
king that cours& ire
come up which
will contribute to promote it,
T' there can be no
doubt of his triumphant selec
tion. -
In this passngo u!c have a sort of chat of
the whole disgraceful stratagem. The writer
sccm3 to be perfectly aware of what was
plotted by the delegates from his own state.
On looking at the table of votes,. I which wo
rivo in this narier. it will bo seen that twelve
ul least oi tno mcnipcrs irom l ennsyivanm
wcro engaged hi thi
conspiracy,
and
gave
their votes for the two-third rule.
ftftcr the
'J ;'"-rulo was adopted,
.1
all tho delegates from
Pennsylvania, at lirsl, went regularly through
the mock ceremony, jof voting for Mr. Van
Ilurcn. Their cons
lancy lasted during three
successive balloting.
On the fourth ballot

lwo.lhirds rule, b
them voted for Mr.
they had supported the
in to appear.1 higlit ol
3uchanan-; on the fifth
ballot, ten, on tho" sixth nine; on the" seventh,
Tour voted for Cass, one for Johnson and nine
' for Buchanan, leaving only twelve out of the
! ..twenty-six delegates for Van Buren. There
' never was a grosser or more manifest 1 piece
; of knavery transacted.
A" nomination ma 1c by such means, ! if in
1 iact a nomination shall be made, could com
i mand no moral furcc, or be rtvgardcd as hav,
i ing the least authority. A nomination made
; by delegates in violai ion of tho - instructions
' of their constituents, is clearly .no nominaf
lion at all ; no matte by what legcrdemairi
; it may bo e fleeted, it is simply an arbitrary
'act, dono by agents who transcend! their
instructions, am; it docs not bind, their princi
pals. s '
But wo might takojthc ground and it would :

and heard Mr. Francis, the candidate for Sen
ator in that district, iaddrcss the people. Af
ter speaking of matters pertaining almost ex
clusively to his own district, Mr. Francis
touchedipon national politics. Mr. Francis
asked which is the j true . Republican party ?
tie "would ask tho people ;to compare their
creeds, that they might thereby judge of the
justness of the claims! of each to - the title of
" Republicans," butthe Democrats had none.
Mr. iFrancis recapitulated the principles of
the Whig party, and then asked if ho could
show that those principles were in accordance
withjlho principles of j Washington, JeflirsoS,
Madison, Monroe, and Jackson, could .Demo
crats denounce them 'as anti-republican ? Mr.
Frahcisbriefly stated the prominent princi
ples of the Whig pafty as follows : A sound
national currency ; h tariff for revenue, af
fording incidental protection to American in
dustry ; an cquitablu distribution of 'the pro
ceeds of -the sales of the public: lands among
all the slates ; and the limitation of the Presi
dent to one term. j , ! '
Mr. Francis was of opinion that eligibility
to a second term held out inducements to the
incumbent to use corrupt means to secure his
re-election, and that the people of tho United
States had, seen this'verified of late years.
Ho read several extracts from the messages
:!::! t! 1 j ! ... O I
of j Gen. Jackson in defence of the one term
principle. !
Mr. Francis said that the public lands were,
ceded by the states to ihe general government
as a jtrust fund to pay the debt of the revolu
tion, and that it was expressly staled in the
(Jeed of cession that when this object was
accomplished, suchjis remained unsold were
to return to the rightful , owners. That debt
hasr been paid; and the' states should have
what, they are justly entitled to: We are told
by the modern Democrats that the proceeds
of the sales of the public lands should go to
assist in defraying tho expenses of the gene
ral government. But, said MrL Francis, GenJ
Jackson did not believe thus: .Mr. Fraucis
here read several extracts from Gen. Jackson's
messages in defence of distribution. Some
of the Democrats, said Mr. Francis, contend
ii .
that distribution is a new doctrine, but it was
advocated by Gen. Jackson. - ,
ltfr. Francis next took up the subject of the
tariff, and spoke" of. the different modes pro
posed to raise revenue. , He contended that
the protective policy had been recommended
by all the Presidents from Washington down
said that the Whigs were not in favor of a
h'gh tariff all they ask is that in raising
revenue, discrimination be made1 in favor of
American industry. - He contended that the
more manufactures the raore'plenty will money
be, and tho higher prices 'will jhs produce of
l'. 2r.irrr.:r c: .-.-.nd. This,h3 contended, 'is
evident from tho fact' that -ifmanutactnres

Mr. Frnncis said that the Locofocos arc in

impose a duly of 20 pr cent, upon all articles j
of importationi They arc in favor of a tariff

that would impose as heavy a duty upon the
poor man s necessaries as upon the rich man s

tho Whij; are not in favor of
such a tariff. This showed which paity was
in favor of making the rich richer and the
poor poorer.
Mr. Francis said that Gov.
Polk, the Locbfoco candidate for the Presi
dency, had voted to tax tea and coffee 20 per
cent., and sure1, enough he did,! unless the re.
cord bo incorrqet. j i
But, said MrL Francis the isoulhcrn portion
of the Democracy are in favor of free trade.

What is free trade? The most simple and
I ! I 1
correct definition of the theory is, for eierv
nation to admit the products of every other
nation into its ports free if duly. But every
nation will not adoptthis principle. I Must vc

wished to call particular attention to a passage
in. his veto message recognising ithe conslitu

the following words : !
" Thai a, Bank of tho United States, com
petent to all theSduties which may be required
by tho government, might be sjo organized as
nol to infringe On our oyn delegated powers
or the reserved rights of the states, I do not

Mr. Francis isaid that the Democrats ac

ported the establishment of a United "States

A TAX ON TEA AND COFFEE
In 183i Gov. Polk was a member of
the
Committee of Ways and Means' which com
miuce proposed to impose a duty of iichnty
per cent, upon tea and cotice, at t no time tlit-y
were dutyl free. A proposition was mad ) to
strike ihe n out from the reported bill, so as
to leave them duty free. Gov. Polk voted
against the proposition to strike ou'thusshjw
irig himscjlf to be in favor of taxing tea and
coffee twenty pun cent. What think yon of
thai, reader ? You doubtless remember what
a noise the Locofocos made a year or ;wd
since on this same subject. Wonder if their
thunder u'ill be stayed now ? Remember lhat
Gov. Polkj voted lo lax tea and coffee, 11 actual
necessaries of life, twenty peucent.

j A PORTRAIT.
In the course of his speech against the
to
in
an-
ncxation ticaty, Col. Benton drew a portraint
of Capting Tyler, the correctness and finish
of which show him lo be no unskillful limner.
Here it is:
, "I have; shown you, Mr. President, thai he
ratification of this treaty would be a war with
Mexico tjiat it would be unjust war, uncon
stitutionally made and made upon a weak
and groundless pretext. It is how my pur
pose to show for what object this war is mz do
-vvhy .theso marching and sailing orders
have been given and why our troops alid
ships, as squadrons and corps of observation,
are now in the Gulf of Mexico, watching
Mexican cities, or on the Red river, watch
ing Mexican soldiers. I have not told thp
reasons forj this war, and warlike movements,
nor is it necessary to do so. The purpose' of
the whole is plain and obvious. It is in every
body's moulh. Il is in the' air, and ice can
see and feel it. xMr. Tyler wants to !be
President j; and different from the perfumed
fop in Shakspeare. to whom the smell of gqn.
powder was so offensive, .he not only wants
to smell that compound, but also to smell jof
it. He wants an odor of tho " villainous
compound''1 upon him. He has become infect,
ed with thej modern notion' that "gunpowder
popularity is the passport to; the Presidency;
and he wants that passport. 'He "wants- to
play Jackson; but let him have a'care. From
the sublime to the', ridiculous there is but! a
step; and in heroic imitations, "there is: no
middle ground. The hero'missedthd harle
quin appears;, and hisses salute the ears
which were, itching for applause."- -
; Will the. Editor of the S. C.-Temperance
Advocate be so' good as' to' tell his readers
where he got the article in his paper' Vf the
