THE DISTRICT SYSTEM.

We believe that any Of the real friends of
Mr. Van Buren, can be in favor of the District sys-
tenn of representation for the State of New York, in
the National Convention. No one can slut his eyes
democracy of the State Of New York, are in favor
and 10 the fact that ninety hupdredths oil the
of the nomination of Martin Van Buren, for the Pre-
sdency and tins being the case should there be al
lowed possible chance for the influence of New
York IN the convention being diminished Gene

If the editor Of the Advertiser "cannot believe that
any of the real friends OF MIR Van Buren, can be IN
favor Of the District SYSTEM" what must he think Of
the town and ward meetings and Of the county con-
ventoDs, have passed resolutions IN favor OF Mr.
Van Buren,, and also in favor Of the District system
And Of those democratic papers which have expressed
themselves favoraby 10 III list true sbut
his eyes TO the fact that ninetynin hundredths Of
the democracy OF the State of New York are in favor
of the nomination Of Martin Van Burenn-for the
reason that such fact exists. IL he has fort live
hundreths in his favor, there must be in other
sections Of the state than there in this region
any readily ascertain by becoming copversant
with the feelings and sentiments of the people instead
OF drawing their conclusions from the wishes of those
who make IT trade Of policy. The last sentence
should think is not regular sequifur of the pro-
ceeding IL the editor had the least confidence in his
own assertions. IL ninety-nne hupdrehs Of the de-
mocracy OF this state in favor of Mr. Van Buren,
there could be but little possibility for the other hum
dreth to I" diminish the influence of New York;
for would be only about $3.50, half of the demo-
cratic voters IN Erie county. ublic opinion Is now
setting in q strong tide in favor Of the District
system Of choosing delegates, and it will be OPP
posed by but those who are fearful Of the
result Of full, and honest expression of the
direct will Of the people. And if he had any evil
dence that Mr. Van Buren, favored the schemes of
his indscreet friends in this particular, we should
doubt his democracy, and take II for granted that he
dare not trust his cause in the hands OF the people
but sought to gain his ends by the intrgues of poti-
cal managers-by the machinery Of caucuses cliques
and conventions nomination obtained in the man
proposed by his friends would excite distrst and
many-very many, who would Otherwise give hin,
their support, would withhold their sufirages New
York politicians have notorety for intrigue and man
agemen all over the country, and their movements in
national politics not looked upon with much favor
II they take the management OF the selection Of dele
gates into their own hands--refuse 10 lei the people
act in their several districts they shall choose the
nomination secured by such course will do any
thing but bring out the vote Of the party in many of
the States -BgGaiO Daily Caseae.
