Political Mopcmemts- Election Of Delegates TO The
Syracuse Observation-Disclosures amongst the Van
Bnenites and hefriends of the Farmer Gopernor.
DEAR SrR:-
Our locofoco county convention for selecting
delegates TO the State convention TO be held at Sy-
racuse next month, met yesterday at New Scotland,
and strange it may seem to the mere 'lookcrs on
in Venice" demonstration was made there in ep-
position 10 Gov. Bouck.
For several days past Crosswe Corning, WATSON
(our Tyler posmaseD and those who hold the Gov
ernor in the hollow of their hands, and have d.
rected all the appointments, have been assduously
atwork to pack delegation from the city to APP
plaud the Governor in this convention. On the
other hand the ''young democratic" were on the
qmi vtre, and yester lay the governors men who
could not get to be delegates attended the lobby
A resolution crowded into those offered 10
the convention, approving OF the political courre OF
the farmer" while governor, and here these men
cast the fire brand. Col Mckown rose and made
most e oquent speech, in which he insisted that
nothing had transpired since the governor came in
to office by which the party could Judge OF his po-
lltica faith integrity, his fitness or capacity for
office unless they involved N his nments
which were, perhaps, OF an equlvocal, domestic
character He was followed by Messrs. French,
Van Dyck, Cassidy, and others, who advocated the
same views, and BESIDES that this was not the time
| or occasion Tor any such manifestation or singular
effort; and again. they were unwilling to hazard the
chances OF their Presidential candidate with such
an incubus.
On the other hand, Mr.. Blanchard, (who seeks
the Surrogacy of Albany, and who myseriousy ap
peared as delegate IN the place OF another) con.
tended that 1t was the proper time, and that the
governor was entitled TO all the laudaiOns contain
ed in the resolution. The vote between these par
ties was as folows-from the city, 30 votes cast; Is
for the resolutions, IA against them
| There - "a I'M m hrpeyp =
the young men claiming Flagg, and the Argus and
Tyler men Marcy, and of course Flagg shared the
same fate as the objection TO Bouck.
A pretty general apprehension existing that
the Tyler men were too favorable to Marcy, and
as he holds an appointment under John Jones ac-
cdency 1t became necessary to instruct their dele
gate to vote with MIR. Van Buren's friends in the
State Convention.
1t is now conceded that this county will be whig
again this fall, the Bouck men from the city have
raised flame which cannot be quenched, and they
| are willing 10 lose il, as none but young " barn.
burner" can be nominated for the Assembly and him
they can do without.
This feud has set in motion abal which will raise
a tempest, and not teapot one either; this same
| scene.wll be enacted at Syracuse next month on a
larger scale, and the ward and town meetings this
fall will be agitated by the Regency. 1.-THE MA
sician' does not look out sharp, and keep his per-
sOna friends little In check, he will be divided in
| his strength in this State.
The county and town meetings will, il is said, de-
clare their utter adherence OF the dallying ap
breaches OF John Tyler and John Jones, and declare
their appointments not emanatng from the de-
mccracy, and will require the proper vouchers, that
The party regard the pauper minions OF a traitor TO
his party as not parcel CT the democracy entitled
10 share their triumphs if trumphs they have, so
the Jones's are destined to he short lived family
after all, and their number seems to be legion II
has at last become known why his Excelency was
so devoted to Westminster county on his pilgrimage
There is gentleman there named John Hunter
whose time as Senator expires this fall and Mr..
Hunters regard for his ExceIlency and Wasson, land
Hamilton, &C., was not unequivocal.
Yours, &c. H.
