JuvyIing-wIrc PuIIing--Cheating and
Caucussing
The time is fast approaching when the two great
political parties of this great country will present
their avoules the people for the Offices OF Pres
dent and Vice President to be voted for in the fall
OF 1874 The State Convention OF the Democratic
party assemble at Syracuse on Tuesday next, to
adopt such measures as they may think most fit to
aid their political ends, andsuch schemery trading,
bargaining, buying and selling, in advance of future
results. as will then transpire, only be known
TO those who have mixed in the strife OF parzan
warfare. The delegates from each county In the
State are of the same ratio as the representation
In the Legislature, and if every county is repre-
sented the whole number assembled will be one
hundred and twenty-eight, forming quite BODY
guard to protect the interests OF one political party
The deegstes from this city, numbering thirteen,
nine of whom are Van Buren, men, and four for
Calhoun, as a first choice, met last evening, to
make arrangements preparatory TO their de-
parture this afternoon. Alderman Brevoort, OF
the Twelfth Ward, stated that owing to sickness
10 his family, he desired to resign, and no.
inmate TO supply his place. Objections
being made on The grounds that the delegates of
the ward alone could supply vacancy, the resig-
nation was non-concurred In, and thus ended thai
part Of the business, the origin of which, we under
stand, was to select Benjamin F. Butler oil the Fiji
teenih Ward, as delegate in the place OF Alder
man Brevoort of the Twelfth, the former ward
having drawn blank the balloting in the conven-
ton.
Kings County which includes the city Of Brook
lyn, has selected two Van Buren, delegates, both
having been chosen by vote of the County Con-
vention, and not selected by ballot in this city.
large majority of the delegates selected in the
several counties of this State, Van Buren, men,
but m jority of counties have instructed their
delegates to vote in the Convention in favor OF
referring the selection of delegates TO the National
Convention in May 1914, TO the people themselves,
10 be chosen bv Congressional DISTRICTS and moi by
the present State Convention Should the Con-
venton not adopt this plan, there is every reasont
believe that the delegates in favor of it will enter
their protest in the Convention, and, returning to
their Constituents, recommend the electing of de-
legates by Congressional districts, and send them
to Baltimore in May TO demand admission into The
National Convention, in opposition to the Van
Buren, delegates chosen by the present State Con-
ventlon.
Should the ami. Van Buren, delegates thus selected
be rejected by the National Convention, flare up
may ensue, and the Wing electoral ticket in this
State succeed through such division. The chances,
therefore, are that the Van Buren, delegates, having
reliance in their strength in this State, will give
way under suppositon that they can elect in near
ly every Congressional district
The proceedings Of the convention at Syracuse
will therefore be looked at by the politicians OF the
country with keen and watchful eye, as the deci-
slons there will be urged as strong precedents for
the action OF other states.
Gov Marcy, Samuel Young, and Elijah F. Pur-
dy, among Others, are ST oxen Of as prominent can
didates for the Presidency of the convention, and
the latter gentleman will be recommended as a can
dldae for state or College elector from the southern
counties of the State, two OF whom are to be cho-
sen by the convention.
The time for the meeting Of the Senate District
Convention, which includes this county, Kings
and Richmond, has not been selected, although we
see that several ofthe other districts have fixed up
on day, and The county convention chosen their
delegate.
Much speculation is on foot as TO the candidate
TO be selected for the Vice Presidency at the Ma
tional Convention and we have strong reasons to
believe that the friends Of Mr.. Calhoun, if success
ful, would, as a matter Of policy and discretion,
place the name Of Sas Wright, jr., upon their
Electoral ticket for that office. The days of in
trgue, wire-pulling, clap-trap. deception, fraud
and rascaity, have not yet departed-the millenni-
um of father Miller is yet in the womb of time
and therefore the dsuned efforts OF each political
party will be first used to wage war among them
selves for preference, and when finished with that
fight, will then battle combined against each other,
while the devil himself stands looking on to see the
advancing progress in his kingdom.
The Wing party appear dormant in their move
ments, but quietly and secretly preparing for
vigorous contest. Henry Clay is the candidate of
this party in the populous cities and towns but it
is quite probable, that as last resort, he will be
thrown aside, mad some man OF ordlna.
ry intellect, with less prominency be select
ed in hopes that success may follow. The
campaign may now be fairly said to have
opened, and the first movement of any special
interest will take place this week at Syracuse, we
have despatched special reporter to give full and
complete information Of all that transpires during
its session. So look out for fun.
