York Legislature met in caucus. and
passed resolutions recommending The
assembling Of National Convention al
Baltimore on the fourth Monday of No
vember next, (I843,) to nominate candi
dates for President and Vice President
that the mnde oI appointing delegates
therelo from that State be determined al
q State Convention, to be held at Syra
'cuse on the 18th September next, com
posed OF persons appointed by the Re
publican electors oGthe several counties,
corresponding with lhe number OF mem
Sbers Of the Assembly; declaring that
though they (he csucus) are ready to
support The candidate OF the Convention,
1t is their conviction that Martin Van
Buren is the choice OF the Democracy OF
New York; that Governor Bouck and
Andrew jackson are entitled TO conf

al Government, and TO the law for the
distribution OF the public lands; and that
fhey are in favor Of the Independent
Treasury on the plan recommended by
Mr Van Buren,.
This movement, long anticipated, had
been deferred 10 so laIe a period Of the
session that began to he doubted whe'
1her The friends OF Mr. Van Buren were
strong enough 10 The Legislature 10 car

Nor is the recommendation by the
"Democralic members Of the LegisIa-
tuTe' very submisSively received by
their immediate constituents. On the
contrary. resolution, have been adopted
by the Democratic Young Mems Con
HeDilon Of the City of New York; de
cIaring that they "do not approve Of tho
action taken by the Democratic Repub
lIcan members OF the late Legislature,
10 attempting, in the address and reso
lUIions which they have prepared, to
give their official sanction 10 the GAINS
orany particular candidate for the Pre-

10 them 10 commit their constituents 10
any candidate, or make for him such an
evidence OF public opinion being with
him as their address and resolutions NAV
be underslood to exprcss," &c. &c.
Still less in this proceeding on the
part Of the Democratic members of the
Legislature relshed by portions of the
tDemocracy' Of other States.
= The American Sentinel, Of Philadel
pbia, The organ Of the Tyler Democrats
ot that city, openly condemns the nomi
nation and The time fixed for the hold
ing OF The democratic National Conven
'lioO,' denouncing the latter in the fol
lowing strain:
"ll hardly brcomes the Democrats Of
New York, that at the last election lost
their Presidential candidate, 10 namo 10
the party when or where tho National
Convention should assemble. Itis true,
this Caucus of Mem York adds, that The
Democrats oil Tennessee have desienal-
cd the same day. 1t would not, howev.
or, be improper 10 remark that Tennes.
see did mol give her electoral vote to the
candidate OF New York at the last cleo
tion Ii would be we'll for both Of these
sSates to look to the Democrats Of the
other CommonwoalIhs and follow in
dheir footstepe.
There were nineteen States out oil
twenty five that voted against Alr. Van
Burcn. New York belonged TO the
nineteen. She ought not, therefore, to
be pushing herself forward to dictate to
the other States where or al what time
the Democratic National Convention
should assemble. Indeed it would moi
excite our special wonder ifNew Homp
shire should give larger vote to The
next Democratic candidate for the Pre-.
sidency Than both New York and Ten
nesspe.
ave repeat that the Democratic Ma
iional Convention will not be held until
May, 1874; that is SeItIed beyond e
question"
