Nav YORK, May l7th, isi3.

You have been already notified that notwim
standing the Albany Caucus and the Tammany
endorsement, MIR. Van Buren, 9iH consent TO
May 1874 for the Convention and TO the district
system.
If am not misinlonned, there will occur 10
this city, tonight, move which neither the
Evening Post nor Martin Van Buren, viii con
sent TO. What will you think of Mr. Van Blu
rens strength in this city if you should be told
that the Young Mems Committee will meet to-
night, that Mr.. Calhoun will be recommended Tor
The next Presidency, May, 1874, and the district
system fully endorsed, and recommendation
to appoint FIVE persons in each OF our Congress
sional districts out of which thirteen are TO be
chosen for the Syracuse Convention What
sure He will as,uredly haoe 10 consent, for
these young Democrats very saucy, and
conceive that they have as good right 10 re-
commend Mr.. Calhoun as few ''old hunkers"
Chat is the name given by the young men TO
the old political hacks) have TO pledge them Tor
Mr.. Van Buren,, for whom they will not go for
the Presidency. have heard Of new game
which il is said Van Buren, is commencing 10
play do net vouch for it, but as all sorts OF
tricks may be looked for, your readers may as
well know il and be on their guard about II.
They say some of Van Buren's strong friends
pretend publicly 10 be the advocates of General
Cass, in order, if possible, TO catch his friends
elseW here and gel into their secrets, aud also
under the belief that if they can imbody the
malcontenls here under The Gas, flag, they can
easily transfer them to Van Buren, when the
time comes.
1t is true tina, some of Mr.. Van Buren's for
mer strong friends are out for Gen. Cas-, but
whether or no they are sincere pretend not TO
know The truth is, l look forward with great
confidence TO see this political manGuvreing on
all sides come 10 an end n good feeling and
good fellowship. There would, indeed, be the
most p RECT harmony in feeling now, however
there might be difference TO men, ifit were not
for the intolerance with which a certain set are
determined 10 insist upon their candidate. But
lie, them insist as much as they please, they
work under many disadvantages for, as they
themselves urged on the subject of the Noyem-
Der Convention, "Mr. Van Buren, is well
Known" and for that reason he can make no
new friends. If, Their fore, the machinery will
not work when it first starts, i, cannot work al
forwards, because il will get no new impetus,
and the moment the machinery is out of the
way al the rest will go on as among brethren.
1t is a fact, which ought everywhere 10 be
known, that the friends Of The other candidates,
all perfectly good hundred and have no sort
of jealousy towards each other. The Van
Buren, men are The Ishmaelites, their hand is
against every man who will not submit TO their
faith aud bow down to their idol.
You would be much surprised if you could
only know what immense levers have been used
to induce the Young Mems Committee to work
in the traces, but all would not do. | am re-
US short visit on his. way to the Bunker Hill
celebration there is great curiosity excited TO
see and know this second Jackson. who had The
--''-~e ,"s"'nst MS party, 10 veto the monster.
Veto has become one of the most popular
names-the very boys paint il on their sleds-
aud, II there was no other reason, his coming
among US would, from the Veto alone, create a
great sensation. The Treaty 100, has nowhere
more warm advocates than are 10 be found
among an entirely different class here and if
they only dared 10 speak out, they, TOO, would
gladly welcome the President, who la, settled
long contested subject of dispute, and given
peace and prosperity to the land In what part
OF The whole Union should the People feel more
grateful to President Tyler than in this very CT
iyf BY the destruction of the monster he la
probably saved il from sin liar fate 10 that
which has befallen us once renowned sister of
ofoiherly love, now mourning over the ruin of
broken State and individual credit, the result of
misplaced confidence in a Mammoth Bank.
But, what would have been the state of
mourning TO which New York would have bcen
reduced but for the Treaty And who could
have made The Treaty but a President without
Party7
Great curiosity is excited TO know when the
President may be expected; and he NAV be ga. |
tlshed that he will have very warm and cordial |
reception; and our citizens will not be satisfied |
unless he shall stay long enough to see to the
best advantage our Empire City
Yours, &c.
