After an interchange of Solicitations aud some or-
dinary conversation. Mr.. Eaton suggested lha,
caucus should be held, and some measures taken to
concentrate the present catered members of op-
position to the General Administration. Mr.. " ood-
bury was placed in the chair and Mr.. CamDreleng
Of Newly ork. appointed Secretary.
1t is unnecessary further to enter into the proceed
ngs oi this first organization of the discnrdant ma
eca!s opposed to the present Administra tiun than
relates to the part sustained by the Representatives
Of this state. After General jackson had been re-
solved upon as the candidate under whose Standard
they were to rally. some difficulty occurred on the
subject OF the Fari question. which was then pend
ing. Mr.. NJ Duie, in al emphatic manner. deciar-
ed that opposition to this measure, must be sine
qm non in all proceedings, aud that no cnnsidera-
tons could induce him, the State Of which he
was representative, IT, support any individual in
favor OF such policy. warm discussion ensued on
this question: which ended by the positive declara-
ton of MI Van Buren,, Mm Tie iaao shouid not pass
at thM session. Mr. Cambrrleng also gave his as
surance that the bill should be defeated and the
gentlemen from South Carolina were pacified by
these assurances. ltwas at this meeting. that Mar
tin Van Buren pledged the vote of the great State
OF New York to Andrew Jackson. Let hlm deny
It, it he can. 1t may perhaps he necessary here to
state that previous to this meeting. overures had
been made by Mr.. Van Buren, to MIR. Clay to ioin
IN support OF the Administration on certain cundi-
tlons, and reply had been received. Z" that his
wishes would not be complied with" Mr.. Van Bu-
feh dare not, at this dav, directly or Indirect
ly 'mppach the political integrity of Henry Clay
conscious as he Is, that one word from Mr.. Clay
wond eonsign him to political nlamy.
These state ments have been drawn forth at this
late hour. from one who knows them to be correct
IN substance ; and the people of the state of New
folk are requested to consider well before they give
IN their votes for an individual who could thus wan
tonly sport with their dearest interests.
When Mr.. Van Buren found himself at the last
session OF Congress, compelled by direction of his
constituents, to support the Tariff. be declared un-
'f''oe"''y' u'' ne was individually opposed to the
measure, and that his vote was governed by his in
structinns.
1t should be remembered, that on the question Of
the passage OF the first bill, Mr. Van Buren, finding
the friends OF the ! arf more powerful than he had
expected. WAS compelled to absent himself from the
Senate, and by refusing to vote suffered the bill to
be lost.
Let the friends of the Tariff read and reflect on
these things, and. if they can, vote for this ecreant
to the true policy Of his native state
