THE NOTE OF PREPARATION.
Last evening the "CentraI Convention of Van
Buren, Associations" held their first meeting at
Tamminy Hall, for the purpose oforganizing and
entering in earnest on the work of the presiden-
tial campaign. We are told by gentleman who
is not prone to exaggeration, and who has had
much familiarity with popular assemble les, that
its enthusiasm and energy far exceeded any
thing he had ever before witnessed. The events
of the last two or three weeks at Washington
have had the effect of rousng the democracy of
this city; and the proceedings of the meeting
last evening are an earnest that, from this time
forward, there will be no faltering here or else
where. The deepest indignation was felt at the
attempt by portion of the members of Congress
to influence the action the national convention,
and defeat the formal declaration of the choice
which the people have already made.-Each
mention of Mr.. Van Burens name was received
with deafening applause, and the session was
closed with nine earnest and hearty cheers.
The organization will be found in our ADVERT.
sing columns. The resolutions we annex:
Central Convention of Van Buren AS
SOCiatiOnS.
At meeting ofthis convention, held at Tam
many Hall on Wednesday evening, May 8, 1914
the following resolutions were adopted by accla-
nation, and ordered to be transmitted for pub
lication to the Evening Post, Plebeian, Wash,
ington Globe, Pennsylvania, Richmond Enqui-
rer, Ohio Statesman, Albany Argus, and Alba
ny Atlas:
ResolDed, That, in the election of delegates
to the Baltimore convention, in formal instruc-
tions to those delegates, and in contemporaneous
expressions ofopinion, vast majority of the de-
mocracy designated Martin Van Buren, as their
preferred candidate for the Presidency; that they
have not reversed that Judgment or revoked that
considered and solemn declaration of their will
that, while they recognize the obligation of eve-
ry part of the democracy to submit to the COM
mon judgment of the whole, they have not au-
thorized their representatives in the convention
to overrule the determination of majority; and
that any attempt to do SO, by changing their can
ddate without their express authority, would be
not only violation of justice, and sacrifice
principle, but betrayal Of the most sacred
! trust.
Resolped, That the democracy have not dele
gated the power to act for them at all upon this
question to the members of Congress-least of
all TO small minority of those members to coun-
teract their wishes, and dictate their choice of
candidate; that they will not take the opinions of
officers who, on the eve of the battle, when the
final position is taken, and the soldiers are eager
for the fray, advance to the lines of the enemy,
to talk of surrender, and propose new leader,
and to record certificate, not of our defeat, but
of their own pusillanimity.
ResoIred, That the preference for Martin Van
Buren, is not 50 much a tribute to the man as an
instinct ofjusce, stirring in the hearts of the de-
mocracy, rousing them to vindicate, in his per-
son, their cherished principles, which were in his
person dishonored, and inspiring them with a
deeper energy than can come from personal pop
ularty that if there be fancied leaders who quail
before the enemy, we ask them to retire to the
rear of the camp, and give place to eamest-heart-
ed men who fill the ranks and who will officer
the army anew, and lead it to victory.
RESOLVED, That upon the issue offered by the
wings, and accepted in everything but form by
the democrat S, between Henry Clay and Martin
Van Buren,, we are ready to 60 to the people; that
with express reference to this issue, and since
public sentiment has designated Mr.. Van Buren,
as the candidate, have our political successes in
seventeen out oftwenty-sx States been achieved;
and upon this issue we are assured of glorious
triumph to our candidate and our cause.
