THE ALBANY CAUCUS.

II was with deep regret, and not without a strong
feeling Of indignation, that we read the record Of
the proceedings Of the caucus lately held in Albany
by some Of the democratic members Of the New
York Legislature. The manner in which IT was got
up, its deceptive character the tone Of its address,
were all calculated TO njure the best interests Of the
democratic party, TO SOW disunion in its ranks and
TO afford encouragement TO its adyeHaries. Already,
as we anticipated, the people Of the Empire State
have been disturbed and excited by this legislative
proceeding, and a spirit Of strong and decided oppo-
sition has been manifested. 4 he people Of New

A NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Considerable discussion has arisen in various parts
Of the United States with regard TO the time for hold
ing the Great National Convention. However IL
appears to be well settled that the Convention
W u be held in May, 1874. The majority of the
Western states have agreed upon this time and in
Pennsylvania there is but opinion among all the
divisions of the democracy. Those who wish to pre-
ePitate the acton Of the people on this subject will
find That they have calculated without their host

thing which is TO be gained by too great haste, while
aueh may be lost. The neat session Of Congress IS
one Of great interest and importance and its results
may weigh much in the selection OF a candidate ior
the Presidency. There are very many reasons Why
the latest popular expression should guide the assembly
upon which the important task devoses oil selecting
such candidate.

The proceedings Of this nomination viii be found

public questions mentioned, Of that greatest and most
important OF ALL the Tariff, may well excite surprise
on the part of Southern people, especially when
coupled with the recommendation Of November, as
the period for the general Convention, and should
stimulate them 10 increased caution and vigilance
This November recommendation strongly sustains
the previous impression that the one at Richmond
originated at the same place. The New York Herald

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.


We thought that there was but one opinion in re-
gard to the time Of holding this CoD' ento-and that
this time should not be earlier than the month OF
May, 1874 II was thought that, as difference of
opinion to the candidate existed, that il adyi-
sable not to hold Convention till sufficient time
afforded to the merits and dement's of each
ard thus be able without difficulty, TO select the
ablest and strongest man. The friends of Mr.. Van
Buren,, being members of the Legislature Of New
York, have declared in favor of National Conven-
ton be held at Baltimore, the fourth Monday in
November, lS43. This would be quite convenient
for the friends of Mr.. Van Buren, on their way TO
Congress; but, as we apprehend, will not suit the
convenience of the friends Of the other candidates
Governor Cass, in letter addressed to him this
subject expresses himself thus
"The people should have all the time possible to
express their latest will in the nomination of the can
didae to be submitted for their support Nothing
can be gained and much may be lost, by undue haste
1t may the appearance of dstrust OF the people,
of unwilngness to leave their proper in
their hands. There, however, ii should be left
till the last reasonable moment, and then the Conyen-
ton w i'll be the fair opponents OF the will of their
constituents at the time the delegated trust is TO be
exercised. do not suffer my self to doubt but that
these views will meet the appreciation OF the great
Democratic party"
Mr.. Calhoun expresses himself thus
"Ths question seems 10 assume that am candi-
date soliciting the Office of President, and determin-
ing, by my individual Judgment the proper measures
10 be adopted to secure it. 1t is not the light in which
regard myself desire to be regarded by the pub
lie. My has been presented for that high office
by no agency or solicitation of mine and it belongs
to the friends who prefer me, and have presented my
name to the people, to decide on the course proper
TO be adopted, in reference to the question. have,
however, TO doubt but that they will cheer
fully abide by the decision of Convention, fairly
called, and fairly constituted that would allow am
pie time for the full Development of public opinion,
and would represent fully equally, and fairly, the
voice of the majority of the party"
If we are not mistaken, the friends of Colonel
johnson and Mr.. Buchanan have expressed also their
preference Of the month of May, 1874.
We learn from Harrisburg that the Democratic
members of the Legislature Of Pennsylvania, in a
public meeting held there, had recommended as heir
Presidential candidate, James Buchanan and select
ed May 1874, the proper time for holding the Ma
tional Convention.

year, and that each Congressional District should
elect IFS delegates TO attend IN person, and vote
10 accordance with the wishes of his constituents
This, we believe, to be strictly democralic.
There need be difficulty or pickering about li'e
time Of holding the National Convention. We have
been unable 10 understand why our political rienos
have suffered themselves 10 become excited upon
that subject The friends OF MIR. Calhoun insist up
on holding the Convention in May, 1874. They have
taken a decided stand 10 favor of that period. The
friends Of Mr.. Cass have expressed the same views.
The supporters OF Col. Johnson have also declared
in favor of May, by resolutions passed at the Eimira
meeting in New York, and at the Philadelphia mass
convention The Johnson State Central Committee
of Pennsy have adopted the following resolution
on the subject;
" Resolved That May, ls44 is the proper time for
holding National Conpeaiion 10 nominate candidates
for President and Vice Presidentof The u. States.
The "Clarion, " the National organ Of Col John
| sons friends, says:
" BY a close examination of the papers published
in various sections of the Union II Is clearly 10 be m
erred that the PEOPLE for al least determin-
ed 10 lead in the selection of candidates for the Office
| of President and Vice President, and will not consent
| to Convention beng held at an earlier day ihan
May, 1874. "
Mary Michigan, New Hampshire, Kentucky,
| Mississippi, Louisiana and Massachusetts have de-
clared in favor of May Vrg MIA, in favor of Noyem-
Der next. The Legislative caucuses Of Missouri and
| Tennessee also recommended November
The resolution adopted at the TammaDy Hall meet
ing indicates that Mr. Van Burens friends in his own
State, will nt,rpose objection on that point why
then, should not all agree to hold the National Con-
yentio in May, l644'
! From the Old School Democrat
Mr.. Van Burens friends, have urged the meeting
Of the Convention next fall--but the people are five

cannot be rallied, and it will be abandoned.
