New York Custom Heuse.

Some important disclosures have lately been
made concerning this citadel of the Administra-
ton, which show most conclusvely, that it is
over-run with officers, many of whom have moth
ing to do but to aid in carrying the electioneer-
ing campaign.

DISTRICT CONVENTION.

We learn from Cambridge that the the Wing
Convention on Wednesday unanimously nomi-
mated the Hon. AUGUSTUS YOUNG, of Troy
as candidate for Congress from this district.
The preferences of the Convention, seem TO
have centcrcd mainly upon Nlcssrs. Young and
Briggs. After full comparison of notes and
weighing all the circumstances, the Com
mittec reported to the Convention the name Of
Mr.. YouNG--whereupo Mr.. Briggs magnani-
mously came forward and withdrew all claims
or pretensions, and in a brief but eloquent
speech, rcpletc with patriotic ardor, bcsought
every friend of his to 90 heart and soul for the
nomination. The effect was electric, and when
the question was put TO the Convention, every
voice responded cordial affirmative. The
nomination is good one, and the result is every
way calculated to inspire the wings of the dis
trct with the tairest hopes. We can safely
pledge the nomination from four to five hundred
majority in Chittenden County.
Hon. VIM. p BRIGGs was UNANIMOUSLY nom'-
mated as Elector of President for this district.
The convention was unusually large, and its
deliberations throughout, were characterized by
the utmost unanimity and good feeling. Hon..
Ezra Mech presided, assisted by five vice pres
idcnts. Bat we shall give the proceedings en-
tire, together with the address and resolutions,

MPOESIE y

The simultaneous appearance of two original
poems in the Sentinel, has caused considerable
discussion the past week, as to the comparative
merits of two productions For smoothness of
of versifcaton, the Ode seems to have the pre-
ference, while for originality and vigor the bar
ber's advertisement rather bears the palm. Bat
for the endorsement ofthc Sentinel, some would
even doubt that the Ode was actually "wrttcn
by N. B. lIaswell, for the OCCASION" SO strongly
does it resemble hymn usually sung at Sunday
school celebrations. 1t has been suggested,
howevcr-and such is doubtless the true eypia-
naton--that the breakwater agent wrote it ORR
gnaly for the Sunday School collection, and is
therefore at liberty to rcvamp if, and call it
original again. But Loncy should not be dis
couraged BY the time his piece has been re-
written and published in the juvenile hymn book
few tines it will not be whit behind its Illus
trous compeer.

ORLEANS COUNTY CONVENTION.

We have before Us an account of great
gathering of the people at Irasburgh, on the

ably addressed by the President, Augustus
Young, Esq Orlando Stevens, Esq. of St. Adams
and James Bell Esq. Of Walden vt is inpos-
slble, says the account before us, to convey an
adequate idea of the enthusiasm which prevailed
ard any report the proceedings of the meeting
would be superiluous except for the benefit of
our friends abroad for our friends in the county
we're nearly all present. In proportion to the
number of votes cast in this District it was de-
cidediy the greatest meeting yet held in New
England, The banners borne by the different
delegations were numerous, and apt A steady
and determined spirit of resistance to the des-
tructNc measures Of the administration was
manifested, and it will be heard in tones of
thundcr in September, at the polls"

The locofoco celebration at this place on the
fourth, seems to have had for its object three
things: to give their leader an opportunity to
speak "that piece" agan-to enable Ilaswel to
display his oratorcal and poetic tacnt---and to
toast Mr.. Van Ness. In this latter particu-
lar DR.. Richardson appeared to lead the van,
and began by comparing the ex-Miniscr to
the L. S. Bank; Mr.. Bishop called him a
"worthy citisen,"-Mr Burr an cable Statesman,
Nahum Peck, thought it necessary to say
hat his Excellency was not forgotten by al his
friends, and impiously compared his return from
Spain to that of Moses from the Mount--Wyl-
lys Lyman toasted the orator of the day, as that
singular individual who is ''moSt appreciated
where best lnown'--and Walter Freeman could
not take his parting glass withou; again remind
ing his friends, that late as it was. he still re-
membercd "thc orator of the day.. p. Van

similar stupid and disgusting personality and
manworship. There were, however. one or two
very good sentiments. which, standing in in the
connection they do, are deserving of especial
note.

rejecting man must be, that these causes have
their origin in the ruinous and destructive
measures of the administration, with the patri-
otto firmncss which becomes enlightened free
men, they have abandoned party, for country
given up men for measures. This is indeed but
the obvious duty Of every good citizen; but so
much are we the creatures of habit and asso-
citation, that it requires no little nerve for man
TO break loose from party trammels, and aban-
don mon whom he has been taught TO revere.
Hence it is that the abuses of government are
generally borne to the very extreme point of
endurance, and an administration not I'M
frequently enabled TO sustain itself long after
a large majority of the people heartily wish the
country rid of it. In this view of the subject it
is, we sa.', that those men who come thus man
fully forward in their country's cause are entitled
TO the especial thanks of the community All
the above individuals have heretofore been
staunch supporters of the administration, and all
but two (who were not then entitled to vote,)
voted the Van Buren, ticket at the last election
In addition to this list, we have the names of
nearly as many more i'll the same town, who will
20 shoulder to shoulder with these men to the
ballot box, but who, from prudential motives, do
not think it eHpcdient to come before the public
And this is but fair indication of what is going
on in almost every town in the state, and thro'-
out the Union. Discern yc not the signs of the
times ~
P.S. 1t may not be unnteresting to Mr..
Winsiow to know that the second name on the
above list is that of the "vlanous wry-necked
iler" alluded to in the Sentinel a few days since.
