Van Buren, I'm tho Field:

Van Buren, I'm tho Field!
The Sage Of Underwood and his trusty Lieu
tcliant from s.. Lawrence have not spent so much
time tins season at Albany for nothing The
Van Buren, Members Of the Legislature held a
Caucus on Monday evening IN the Assembly
Chamber, and adopted an Address which was
reported by Senator HUNTER OF Westminster, and
yeodb by Senator ELY Of Otsego. Had 1t been
1nrltten by Mr.. Hunter, it would have been
rich treat to the lovers Of political small beer bat
II is clear enough that Mr.. HIS station at the
head of the Committee was an honorary one
This Address has not yet been published; but
the Resolutions Which accompanied i, appear IN
Tuesdays Argus, and are doubtless the more sig
nifcant part Of the performance.
These Resolutions eulogize Gen. Jackson Tor
his Bank and Maysvillc Road Vetoes (ndlculously
asserting that the latter has saved the country
from Public Debt of S200,000,000 or so y dc
nounce any sort OF U. S. Bank, night in the
teeth of Old Hickory's offer to furnish the plan
of Constitutional and useful Bank J condemn
al. sorts of Exchequer projects, and glorliy the
Sub Treasury; denounce the Land Distribution ;
are severely shocked at the idea OF all Assump-
ton of State Debts; pronounce the Exchanges
now admirable; family praise Gov. Bouck, (Which
must have been choker to many of the Mem
bcrs) eu!ogize Martin Van Buren,, aud "exprcs%
their conviction that he is the choice of the De
nocracy of New-York . for next President. The
first two Resolutions arc so important that we
copy them entire, VIZ
Resomed That we are in favor Of National Convention
FOR the nomination Of candidates for President anti Vice Pre-
sidcn 10 be held Baltimore the 4t Mcnday OF Novr
Der ls43 recommended by the Democratic party of the
States of Tennessee, Missouri aud Virginia.
Rssoiusd That It lie recommended the Republican
Electors in the several counties of this State 10 appoint
aumber Of delegates corresponding with the number Of
xnembeIs Of Assembly State Convention he held
Syracuse the first Tuesday Of September iS43 With
thoy TO choose delegates To National Convention, TO
determine the which they shall be chosen and o
iaasacng such other business 10 relation 10 the Peser
nal question az to the Convention may seem proper
Thus 1t will be seen that the glove ;e distinctly
thrown down, and Mr.. Van Buren,, dcspairng of
success from deliberate expression Of the wishes
of his whole party, lis determined 10 secure nomi-
nation in his own time, from his own personal
partisans, and then force the party into his sup
port by the drill of regular nomination and the
necessity OF uniting against Mr.. Clay. South
Carolina and several other States demand that the
Convention shall be postponed ill next spring,
until the principles involved in the canvass bc
first settled, and especially until Mr. Van buren's
Representatives in Congress shall have shown
their hand clearly on the Tariff question. Mr.
Van Buren, is detcrmiuod to secure his nomination
first, and then deal with the Tariff and other per.
picking questions as the necessities OF the canvass
shall require. Again; South Carolina asks that
each Congressional District shall! be allowed TO Sc
sect It's own Delegate TO the National Convention
who shall be allowed 10 vote as ms immediate
constituents shall direct NJ. Van Buren, on the
other hand, summons has State Convention, which
viii elect the whole Delegation from this State
p formidable II not controlling force III the Con
gention--all devoted to his elevation. The Con
vcntion thus forced on will be a personal rathcl
ghan party assembagc, IN which several States
will be either represented by Ruckcr Delegates OF
not Represented at all. 1t is not probable that
such Convention will command the respect o
the party for which 1t processes to act, OF any
portion Of it but the personal adhcrcnts OF It's au
thor. AS an expression of OPINION It's decision
will be manifest farce. MIR. Van Buren, must
despair of obtaining nomination IN full Conven
lion, or he would not resort to measures directly
calculated 70 shatter the party.

The favor with which Mr.. W. HALLS Bank
Reform bill, abolishing the office of Commissions
erS, was received, was probably one cause OF this
reection.---But what was the reason Mr. SAM.
usL A W,LLooGnDY was not nominated
SECTIONAL FLoArING- DocK-We are gratified
TO learn that the Legislature Just before adjourn
this excellent invention. The vote was aimos,
unanimous, although serious local opposition
had been arrayed against 1t from motives OF en-
yious rivalry. The general favor which every
where follows AN investigation OF the merits OF
this Dock speaks well for its character, and pre-
diets FOR it general approval and adoption.
John Smith, Jr., of Arkansas" writes 10
the Boston Post that the cry of Illegal Voting in
this city is all stuff, and that the Registry Lac
acas repealed on the recommendations Of Cor.
Ssseard and other leading Ways We are no,
surprised that John Smith, Jr., should lie; but we
are little surprised that even re should utter 50
silly "a lie as this.
u We inadvertently stated In our last that
Mr.. WEBSTER had gone to Nlarsh6eld instead of
Washington, beng little before our story.
