can reconcile to his mind the actions of the conven-
ton upon this subject, or say that there is not just
grounds to anticipate trouble in the wigwan II a
strong feeling ~ attachment existed toward Mr.
Van Buren,. would the convention have been crea-
ted as il was? would the farmers have remained
quiet at the ploughfal and allowed their counties
to pass unrepr-sented? would the convention be
made up OF 6ty five members OF the lest Lrgsla
ture the Ex-Governor OF the STATE, the Srcr.tary OF
the State, three members OF Congress, six idges,
and twenty ex-L-gislstor+1 No-reasoa answers
no; common sense SCOTS at the idea; and yet upon
the other hand who could the party rally upon, and
for what purpose could an enthusiastic feeling be
created. But time will solve this query That the
political world Is pregnant with revolution no man
can deny
II was amusing to witness the anxiety OF the as
plrlns politicians at the convention There was ex-
Governor Marcy, anxious to be made President OF
the convention tor the purpose OF making such an
act, as species OF popularity Tor an office learn
that he is seeking Collectorshp under the govern
ment, and restin. under the belief that Mr.. Tyler
would seek 10 draw out the strong pillars of the
Van Buren, structure, his success would he his
best recomme ndation. There also was ex Consul
Thomas N Carr. anxious to procure the appoint-
ment 10 the Baltimore Convention, believing that
such honor would procure for him in case OF MIR.
Van Buren's success, the return OF Consushlp.
Mr. Slamm of the g Plebeiau," was also very desi-
rous to be one of the members of the Baltimore
Convention; his object was no doubt 70 fully en-.
graft him upon Mr.. Van Buren's confidence, and
thereby secure the government printing Some
hundred other lobby members were equally anxious
to obtain seats in the National Convention.
BY the way, had almost forgotten to give you
history of an amusing scene in Syracuse, on the
evening Of the close OF business. Mr. Carr having
been disappointed in procuring seat tor the baltl-
more Convention, set himself at work to create a
little sport He repaired from the convention TO his
head quarters and wrote letter. OF which the fol-

The recent actious OF The democratic party in the
interior ri this State, bids fair lead a complete
overthrow of the party Ga the whole line OF the
Railroad from Albany to Buffalo, not a single
adopted citizen is employed, aud in the great salt
works at Salina, the orders are decided agsinst the
employment OF any persons but natives The Ma
tive American feeling is raging to an alarming ex-
tent and the result must surely prove disastrous to
the party that fosters it. However, time Is fraught
with revolutions, and no man can count on their
mysterious effects. Yours, &c. QUILP.
