It is to be hoped the readers of that paper may be enabled to mark the contrast though, if they rely upon the Carolinian for the requisite information, it will be impos sible for them to do it. In the Whig con vention, according to the veracious editor of that paper, "all sorts of things were seen there, but Republicans Farmers and Me cnanics ; wnue "an tne otner nne qrurs of gentlemen' were there. Pra'yj to vrbat orderVlbis m'idest editor belong f lis he a Farmer, Mechanic or Kepublicanl He may be a modern Democrat ; but unless he is very much belied, his hands have never been soiled tih the farm or in the work shop.' : v? ' ! I Bot he has tfie effrontery'to tell his read era, that out of more than twenty thousand delegates, coming from cveiy. State in the Union, who attended the Harrison Conven tion at Baltimore, there was not a solitary Republican, Farmer or Mechanic P I Au 'assertion false on the face of it ; because it ts impossible he could have known jany thing at all ol the occupation of Seven the hundredth part of then. It is of a1 piece, however, with the atuff which, I uhderstand he is weekly doling out to his readers, ol whose understandings or intelligence he must have a moat'contemptible opinion, be li8ing them incapable of distinguishing trjtuh from falsehood, and that appeals to the lowest prejudices of the igoorahi, are the fittest arguments to address to them But let us contrast the two Conventions. . The Hairison ; Convention was rather a gathering of the people, from every State jv4 ecry tecuon oi tne union, tnan j&j meet ing of deitgaUM. The people came in their otght, the yeoraaory and mechanics, the ttav Wnot joui &aabcoia RepobUeans, 4isitA(l Ce CfjritsnUon ; andj iftefi vojc !y ruined people tocontinoe the spoilers in office another four years. This bloated and pampered minmn of a corrupt govern rc en t, was there : and the Carolinian has the . 'f effrontery " to call him, and the masters be serves, iZeptt&Itcan There werejr liyAntnoriiy.Vrmen mere, too.tne penaton ed hirelings of a profligate press, paid and fed out of the public Treasuryto disseminate falsehoods among the people they were there, to assist in the scheme of homboje-gery. by issuing the fif neth, it may he, manifested of their principles! there were Ptmaslers and postseekevs there, and a8core of others, of whom I know nothing more, than that they bad Honorable and Ksquire stuck I to ibeir7 names, , to show, I suppose, that they were plain Farmers, Mechanics and Re publicans." such were f tbe materials which composed the Federal Van Boren Convention rteiiber their character j nor the practices which they uphold, &ive tbemHhe shadow of a claim to Republicanism, or to the eonndeoce or support of any honest and true-hearted Republican. I care notning aooui toeir.prtriciptea, as iney cai themj: " the, tree is knuwn by us trait , and " by their works ha!l lei judge them." .These are tbe tests of Republicanism; and by these tests lbs federal Van Buren jugglers - at JBaJti more, and their Master in the palace at Wash ington, must be judged i by these they have been judged I and the thunder of the people's condem nation has reverberated pom Maine to Louisiana, from the Seaboard to:the fartherest West. And the puny efforts of the! Carolinian, to roll back the tide of popular enthusiasm in favor of the old patriot and of indignation against the poi7ert are as impotent and; ridiculous, as would be the attempts to stop, with a tush, the swollen torrent of the mighty Mississijnpi.

G COD NEWS FROM. ALABAMA. Tuscaloosa , Ala., June 7 lb, 1840; A Dear Syme V "V':' . I 6eut you last week, the ''Independent Mom tor," containing a full account of tbe Stale Con- vention which met at T uscaloosa -on ther first Monday in this month. It was a great affair, and many of the incidents would not have failed of interest even amongst your scenes at Baltimore. There were an assemblage of the great men of the them, met at the Capitol Square, and addresses from Mr Hilliard, Judge Hopkins, and ethers, were delivered, the honest enthusiasm of thou sands swelled the popular feeling beyond con ceptiun or description. It was brother meeting brother in the glorious cause of their country's political emancipation. Mr. Hilliard, one of (he most eloquent, popu lar speakers 1 ever heard, asserted boldly, that every county, from Montgomery to A) obi le, on the east side of the Alabama river;' will, in No vember, give majorities tor Harrison and Tyler ! Judge Hopkins, who seldom rives an erroneous opinion, (never a ; hasty one.), affirms that Mr Van Buren cannot cross the Tennessee river in to 6outh Alabama with more than SOCK) majority Green,-Dallas, Montgomery, Wifcox. Mohroe and Concuch, will neutralize that; majority . The battle will be severe in the Creek Coon ; iry,".wiihthe bddsi however id our favor for the first lime. Jefferson, Blunt, Walker, and, Fayette, will give, probably, 1000 Locofoco ma jority. This will be balanced by the" city of Mobile, Butler, Baldwin and Marengo; and the Whig majority in the State will be about 1500 to 2000, made up chiefly from Tuscaloosa, Pick ens, Sumpter and-Perry. These . calculations may be safely relied on, as they have been made from my own personal observation,, and the as surances of gentlemen from every portion of the State, that the spirit of reform is abroad in Ala bama, - . Mr. Foster, late member of Congress from Georgia, was present, and addressed tbe Con vention with gieat animation, and at. great length. He declared in the course of his re marks, that two months ago he was opposejo General Harrisonnow, the General is.his first choice. To use his own language, changes are going on ini Georgia by hiiudreds and thou sands, from the sea. shore to the mountains, and from tbe Savannah to tbe Chata hooch ie! The cry is we aie changing I A change of rulers must be bad, arid to that end a change in the people was going- on throughout tbe whole length and breadth of Georgia." These asser tions, coming from such a source, is gratifying indeed. .. The Army Bill has aroused the people of Al abama, and I tjoSt in God they will be able " to beat back the invaders." Your paper is all . that I ever see freiro Virginia, and 1 shrewdly suspect there is some secret un derslanding between dmos and yourself.
