THE LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS NOMINATION
AT ALBANY.

R,so,,,d That v. are opposed to q Bank Of the
United States in any and every lorn' lhat We are
also opposed to the pu,nerous Exchequer plans and
Government Banks, which have been ongendercd by
The late Congress, and gratifed to know that
tbs scheme Of an Exchequer Bank, maturcd and
brought forward by the President and his Cabinet has
received its quietus BY The unprecedented vote Of l93
10 49, in the House of Representatives; and we trust
this dangerous Government engine after such en-
phatic oudemnaton, from both political parties will
be received by its own godfather in the light
that hc admits the Bank Of the United States now
appears TO him, an ''obsolete idea"
R<soired, That we are j, favor Of National Con-
yenton for the nomination of candidates for Presi
dent aud Vice President TO be held at Baltimore on
the Attn Monday of November, lsA3, as recommended
by the Democratic party Of the States of Tennessee,
Missouri, and Virginia.
Resolved, That il be recommended TO the Republic
can electors in the several counties Of this State TO
appoint a number Of delegates corresponding with
the number Of members OF Assembly, to State Con-
vcntion to be held at Syracuse on the l2sn day OF
September, l843 with authority to choose delegates
TO National Convention, or To determtne the man
ner in which they shall be chosen, and for transact
ing such other business in relation to the presidential
question the Convention may seem proper.
Resolved, That Martin Van Buren,, by his unbcnd.
ing adherence to sonnd Democratic principles, not
whilst landing the powerful combination Of interests
arrayed against his administration has entitled him
self TO the confidence and respect OF every friend Of
equal rights. Although overbornc in the contest OF
lo40, BY temporary concentration Of discordant IN
forests, no has maintained, with unhnchng hrmness
tlose cardinal principles Of democratic faith which
lie al the very foundation Of free Institutions and
TO which he has been devoted during his whole life
and that while will support with good faith and
cordially, the person who may be nominated for Pres
ident of the United States by the Republican Nation
al Convention, we feel it duty to express our con-
viction that Martin Van Buren, is the choice Of the
Democracy of the State of New York
3 AS to the policy Of this procedure we have
but little TO say. 1t may or may not be judi
cious in three States, viz: New York, Tennes-
see, and Virginia, TO run counter 10 the opinions
Uf all others that have sp, ken Of The time for
holding the Convention. Non nosfram compo-
mere ites, We should, we confess, have been
better pleased with later day than that desig-
mated, viz: November, l643. So far from May,
1914, being TO" late, we would even prefer tina!
the meeting Of the Convention should have been
postponed until towards the close of the next
session Of Congress Our eye is not, and shall
not, be so steadily fixed upon the advancement
of any one man as upon the interests of the
country. Important questions may, and no
doubt will, present themselves during the next
session of Congress. We confess our desire
to know how the politicians will deport them
selves. The tariff may have to be revised
This great, asitaling, and interesting subject
should be placed upon a nermaneni fooiinn and
have been not little disapf ointed in perceiving
that, while the Exchequer receives fling, and
the President is half way condemned, all refe-
renee 10 the tariff is most studiously AVOIDED
Are we 10 have another set of instruc ions to
Mr. Slas Wright, similar TO those in 1928 p
and revival Of the system of prohibitory du-
ties2 Are the mercantile and agricultural inle-
rests again to be psralyzed by The legerdemain
Of the political leaders, Is at other bi Of ab m
nations 10 be passed, provided MIR. Benton can
obtain an additional duty of one cent in the
pound on lead Are The manufacturing iaie-
rests again to be made the sport of dexterous
management or not2 We confess tha, we
should have been highly gratifed to have been
enlighten as to the views Of The Democrats Of
New York upon this great subject. Ard we
think that the country will not be content to
rush into nomination for The Presidency until
these matters are d siiuclly understood.
Surely It was Of vast importance that the
course to be pursued by The Democracy OF New
fofk, on this great quc slion, should have been
announc, d publicly and openly; or was itesicemed
10 be Of higher importance, cessarily as ii mp
pears to us, TO denounce in unmeasured terms
all effort to relieve the country from The curse Of
broken-up curency7 Did the Exch quer
present fugbtful an issue as TO drive the
friends OF the distinguished gentleman for
whose byn,fit these proceedings we've adopted,
into ORGANISATIONS Of that measure, and cause
them 10 overlook the great question OF the Ia
rita question which affects every interest of
society for good or for evil7 Was il of greater
importance to give the Presidents slap over the |
face, Than TO tell the country what was contem- |
plated 10 be done on gr at and important sub
JtcR The very omission causes US, and should |
cause every lover Of his country, TO deprecaie q
designation Of q candidate for the PRESIDENCY, |
before hands are fully shown. Nor Dught the coun-
try to be ssli fed with mere empty profession |
on a matter Of such vital importance and, |
therefore looking solely TO the good cftbe county,
We repeat that We would prefer to have the |
votes, and to possess an intimate knowledge of
what men mean to do, before we rush into a
coodition from which there may be no escape |
until disaster and defeat shall ovcrlake us.
We are plainly ,noogh told that nothing is to |
be doue by way OF ameliorating the condition
Of the currency. The naked Sub Treasury is |
again to be urged. The money, forsoorb is, by |
it, 10 be taken out Of the custody Of the Presi.
dent. This is admitted to be a great poiat--
les the Sue-Treasury accomplish it7 We
should like TO understand how and in what
manner. The Sub-Treasurers are appointed |
by the Presileni, and may be removed ly tb,
President Has he no, then as complete CON
troll over the money as In any Other POSSIBLE |
