| =. Shook, Henry j. Davis, and Robert Humphrey,
Esqs as Supernumeraries. The plan OF appoint
| ing Supernumerary Delegates has been adopted in
duchess and other counties, and is done, we pre-
sumo, with view OF calling ont one OF the most
numerous, as we'll as one Of the most respectable,
bodies OF republicans that ever assembled in this
state and from present prospects there Is striking
indicaiion that the contemplated convention will be
all that II is intended TO be. The delegates from
Ulsies are particularly fitted for their mission-com-
priSing as they do, men who are well known Tor
their devotion 70 democratic principles less than
three Of whom have been heretofore honored by
their republican felow-citizens with seats In the
Legislature
The Conservatives, il will also be seen have de-
clared their preference for Gen. WINFIELD ScorT as
the next President OF the United States, and have
expressed their opinion that he is the very Who
at this crisis, will call out The surages OF The people,
and upon whom all classes OF the opponents of the
Administration can consistently unite TO greater
extent than upon any other Individual They have
mol nominated him, as has been said in a certain
quarter; but they have simply seconded the move
ment at the West on the part OF both the Wings
and Conservatives, In placing his name distinctly be-
lore The country, in common with The other emsent
men who have been mentioned candidates for the
Presidency, and whose merits will probably be dis
cussed al the National Convention.
In uniting with the opponents Of Mr.. Van Buren,
| In Monroe, In Oneida and other counties OF this
State In favor OF the distinguished Soldier and Pa
| ciicator who, like The immortal WASHINGTON, Is
first in war and first In peace" The Consei vatives
are actuaed solely by pure desire OF bringing about
The nomination Of the most aneTceptioaatle man.
They have done this, will readily be admitted in
very modest and unassumng manner, and with
due Difference to the opinions and sentiments OF the
| friends and admirers of both MIR. Clay and Gen.
HAaRIsoN They have expressed their preferences
for their favore-a Wing in every sense OF the
word--animaed as he is by the genuine Wing
principles OF '76 and '39-wilhout rehecting in the
least degree upon the favores Of the other opponents
OF the Administration, and they have done no more

| II is only by full and free comparison of opinions
that The feelings Of the people be ascertained
and is highly essential that public sentiment should
be deeply consulted respecting all the candidates,
before the National Convention assemblies. In This,
we no harm that will arise to either the Wings
| or Conservatives. The more eminent and patriotic
men that can be brought before that Convention the
more strength they will unite for the opposition par
~. They all have their friends in various parts OF
the country, who will be induced to take part, di-
reclly or indirectly, in its deliberations and who If
their claims and chances are fairly discussed and
determined, will feel bound in honor and good faith
to support the nominaton-let The choice o the ma
| jory fall on whom il may The friends Of all the
candidates of the opposition will then be satisfied
that justice has been done--that sound policy has
alone prevailed-and that the Convention has look
ed more to the of the cause than 10 the pro-
motion Of men. And the great body OF the people
will be convinced that the opposition IS not ike the
Administration men, party OF man-toorshiPpers,
having in view, solely, the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of
single individual, and assembling together with all
things cut and dried" With this conviction, they
will repair cheerfuly to the pols--deposite their
votes for the opposition candidae-and, after the
canvass, huzza Justify for the defeat Of Locofoco-
Sm-the downfall Of Van Burenism, and the final
overthrow of the Sub-treasury.

Resolved, That the late public declaration of the
President of his intention to adhere to his revou-
tionary and disorganizing measures, notwithstand-
ing their repeated rejection by the representatives Of
the people, and their condemnation by the people
themselves, demands from the unchanged democra-
cy renewed and vigorous efforts TO arrest his career
RI am M he mi nj let of
the government into the hands Of men in whose
fidelity and patriotism they can confde.
Resolved, That the extravagant and wanton ex-
penditure of the public money by the General Go
vernment has given just cause of complaint and
alarm; that its increase is incalculable-its abstrac
ton without stint measure-its perverson to po-
itical purposes manifest and the countenance Of the
Executive TO open proiigacy every where apparent.
Resolved That never until the present day have
we seen Executive patronage and party discipline
brought exclusively to bear upon measure of Exc
cutive recommendation, which, by tho former ad-
ministration, had been repudiated and condemned,
and such measure made The test of political ortho-
doxy by those who were its opponents and its I'M
changed opponents branded as apostates and Fede-
raliSts.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this convention,
the people of this country owe debt Of lasting

their energies and arrested the tide Of Executive
corruption and abuse.

administration of his Excellency William H. Sc
ward have been, managed with transcenden ability,
republican simplicity, and signal advantage TO the
people, and that we shall continue TO give him
firm and. decided counlenance and support.
Resolved, That allhougha great and decided ma
jority of the American people evidently opposed
TO the reelection OF Martin Van Buren,, yet i, is
not improbable that opposition will fail unless pre-
sent conflicting opinions and preudices towards the
opposing candidates should be wholly reconciled,
and there is 10 apprehend thai the partial sue
cess of the administration in the elections has
resulted from these causes; therefore,
Resolved, That In selecting candidate for the
Presidency, all personal considerations should be
