We would particularly invite the attention OF
our ieow-ciiizens in other Counties who are
about to elect Delegates to the anti-J ck -on Con-
.en'ion In Richmond, 10 the day named by the
Meeting, held in this town on Saturday last the
proceedings of which are given above. The

Ihe Albany Argus says, in reference to the
Coalition with MIR. Clia,on, Mr.. Van Buren, Is
not al present in this city, When the editor
wrote that line, Mr.. v. b. was not indeed in
Albany. But nevertheless, the intent of the words
is most insidiou. and deceptive. How long, pray,
had MIR. Van Buren, been absent! Not tw enty-
Tour hours Yet the Argus wont to create

he had planned so skilfu!ly and patiently. Will
the Argu. tell US how many dinner partics Mr. .
Van buren, gave in the same week, that .he was
not IN Albany" How often he has, within ten
days. exchanged and shared these civilities with his
great rival, now his friend, De Wit Clnton?"
Ihe reader wall recollect that on We cline day
last It became necessary to contradict explicitly
an assertion made by the editor of the ~ Y. A
