We have recently had, in. this city, The iirS'
ju,rorlant uovement with reference 70 the sub
iect Of the National Conve ntion, and the result
has been most "a orabls 10 the Administration. IL
has undoubtedly come undery our obsevalonihal
the Democracy of this Stale are TO have State
Convention, at Worcester, on the lath Of Sep
tember next, aud that one Of lis leading objects
is, as is expressed 10 the public call signed by
Mr.. George Bancroft, the leading friend OF MIR.
Van Buren, in this section, 10 act upon the sub
iect of a Democratic National Convention, and
other matters incidental thereto; or, in other
words, TO express preference for Mr.. Van Blu
rem. Pursuant 10 this arrangement, our County
and Ward Committees called meetings OF the
Democratic citizens in the various wards of The
cily--twelve in number--for The election OF Del
egates 10 tie Convention which took place on
Monday evening last. The Van Buren, men,
with their leaders. were out in their full strength
and confident OF victory. The Administration
men, and all good Democrats, who were oppos
ed to this exclusive movement of the Bay State
Democrat and lis friends, and The Washington
Globe influence, took matters very quietly, but
were determined TO do their duty The cont 81
in some of the wards was most exciting, but
has resulted in the triumphant overthrow Of the
exclusives, and to the honor Of the National Ad-
miuistralion and the interests of the Democrat
c party generally. We are entitled to serenity
roo delegates TO the Convention or sic TO each
ward. The Van Burenies have succeeded in
electng nine only, who are ready TO express a
preference for Mr.. Van Buren, in the Conven-
ton, and thus hang milestone about The neck
Of the party. The friends of the Administra-
tion-the advocates Of the integrity of the par
ty--bave chosen the balance, sirty-fhree The
modification aud chagrn Of The exclusive inter
est can scarcely be repressed Our friends do
not feel DESTROYS Of making any public express
sion of their victory over the defeated party, but
are exceedingly gratiied. They look upon as
glorious premonitory symptom, which, if fol-
lowed out in The country, will rebound to the
honor Of the old Bay State In Ward 9, Mr..
Bancroft, late Collector of this port, Hon. VIM.
Foster, and several other leading friends Of Mr..
Van Buren,, were candidates for the delegation,
and were present with all their influence, but
were sgnally defeated. Everywhere, the friends
of correct principles met The issue maniully,
and put down efieclually the mad-caps of the
party. Much consolation may your neighbor Of
the Globe derive from such political incidents as
these-they are indicative of a state of things
which will soon PROSTATE all such influences as
are sought to be promulgated through that ra bid
and insidious journal.
The appointment Of Mr.. Rantoul 10 the Col
lectorshp OF this port, by the President, is re-
garded by the whole body of the Democracy
with untegned pleasure, and cannot but endear
the Administration TO the sterling Republicans
Of Massachusetts.
Yours, truly,
.. TRENONT
