The Convention then adjourned having com.
pleted the business for which it was assembled.
So much we learn from the Albany Argus
and so much only. In its extreme anxiety 10
have it understood that the most harmonious
nnanimity pervades the ranks of the Great
Democratic Party it omitS to say syllable Of
the resolutions, and even to mention the fact Of
their discussion and adoption But all its allies
are not so cautious and we learn from them,
generally that the resolutions, which were offered
by R. d. DAVIS, of Dutchess CO., protested strongly
against the District system of selecting Delegates
to the Baltimore Convention in May, warmly re-
commended Mr.. Van Buren,, as the Democratic
candidate for the next Presidency, were in taoor
Of a 'judicious Tariff and approve the stop
policy adopted by the Legislature of 1912 and
the present administration Of our State Govern
ment They were quite long, and very decided
in their spirit and languagc-qulto as much so,
we understand. as those passed at the Calhoun
meeting in the Park on Monday They were Of
course adopted, but not without spirited opposition,
In his speech supporting them Mr.. DAVIS made
no hollow professions. of respect for the Calhoun
division Of the Loco Focos, but denounced them
roundly for .tactiouS preference of their leader
over his, and condemned bitterly the mischievous
attempt Of this small clique to force the adoption
of the District system Of clccting Delegates.
This speedily called up Mr.. HATHAWAY Of Che
mung, who repealed with indignation the imputa-
tons cast upon himself and his constituents He
denied that there was any thing iactious in their
preference of Mr. Calhoun, and claimed for them
perfect right to support such men as they
thought most capable of carrying out the prnci-
PIES of the Democratic party. Mr., DAVIS replied
repeating his previous denuuciations, and Col.
You've was obliged to interfere to heal the breach
He attempted to show that, even if the District
System were the most equitable mode Of elccGng
Delegates, 1t was not expedent, at this particular
crisis, to make so great an innovation upon party
usage, and urged that where the people OF any
District should be cheated of their preference, 1t
might be easily relnedied. In fact he said he had
high authority for declaring that 1t was Mr.. Van
Buren's wish that, if it appear to the Convention
that any district in this State prefers Mr.. Cal
houn for the Presidency, delegate should be Sc
1ected for it who would fully represent that pre-
ference.
This debate was continued from the commence.
rnent of the afternoon session, until O'Clock IN
the evening, when the question was taken arc
the resolutions were adopted by a vote OF lo3 10
10. Thus easily and contemptuorsly were those
who have venturcd to express preference iof
NJ Calhoun driven from the field. Whether
they will think it prudent to surrender at discre-
ton and make no farther effort in behalf of then
principles and their candidates, remains TO be seen
Mr.. TAYLOR, of this city, read protest against
the action of the Convention in rejecting the
District SYSTEM in behalf OF himself and his col
leagues, and by vote of IS in favor of such
course, the protest was entered on the journal o.
the Convention. The appeal is now to the TN
terrified Democracy!
