We have the assurance from Van Buren's intímate friends thnt he will endorse nll the proceedings of the convention, as Adams has already done by heartily participa tiDg in its deliberations. Thus we foei authorized to takothis step; and cali upon Liberty Monto como to therascue, and, as has been their accustomed manner, to unite in one solid phalanx, and with us help to urgfl on thisenterprise. John P . H ale toas onr choice, and had our voto. Undoubtedly he would have had the vote of every Liberty man in Michigan under tho sarrn circumstances.
