lions in the democratic ranks in New York
would give them the vote of that State.
W have been very slow to believe that the
'barnburners," as they are called, by with.
holding their support from the nominees of
he Baltimore Convention, would suffer the
vote of that state to be cast for the wings
and against those principles which they
have held sacred. If we do not mistake,
he indications clearly show that better
feeling is growing up among the Democra-
cy of the old Empire State-the thick
murky cloud that overspread the political
horizon and threatened disaster and defeat
TO the republican cause there is breaking
away and the skies beginto brighten. The
''barnburners" are rapidly wheeling into
line. The Whitehall Democrat, one of
the organs Of that faction, is out in the fol-
lowing manner:
''In the meantime we deem it to be both
a matter Of duty and espediemcy to hoist
the names Of the candidates nominated at
the Baltimore Convention. We are con-
ufmeed, beyond the shado,o Of a doubt, that
the mass af the democrats aoiH, undsr the
present aspect Of affairs, although Mr..
Cass soas not their first choice, SUPPORT
THE TICKET, AND NOTHING BUT THE TICK.
EFT.
We have conversed withta large num-
Der of them from the neighboring towns
good men and true, barnburners, Radicals,
u,,- hot coll than
and NTH almost one accord they say,
Hsupport the ticket"-it is not exactly what
we wanted, but, after all, it is not whig
ticket. We have tried to carry our views
Just ones, we think-but have failed; we
must elect our men, and then "peck our
flints and try it again." This seems to be
the almost unanimous sentiment, and we
bow to the will Of the majority.
We, therefore, having had "our say"
and given our honest opinions in regard TO
the proceedings Of the Baltimore Conven.
tion, unfurl our banner to the breeze in
scribed with the names of CASS and BUT.
LER."
The Wayne Sentinel, another democrat
ic paper Of the same class, raises the nom.
nations of Cass and Butler, and says:
"THE BALTIMORE CoNvENTloN.-A ses-
sion Of FIVE days closed this assemblage on
Friday last. Gen. LEWIS CASS, Of Mich
gan, was nominated for President, and
Gen. WILLIAM o. BUTLER, of Ken
lucky, (now at the head Of the American
army in Mexico; for Vice President.
These are names that have long honored
the democratic party; and we hope and
trust that, contrary to the apprehensions
felt by many of our friends, nothing in the
conduct or principles Of the Convention,
shall be found to compromise the conisten-
cy Of either, or forfeited his claim TO dem
ocratic confidence"
The editor Of the Poughkeepsie Tele
graph, who attended the Baltimore Con
vention, writes from there as follows:
81 have taken ground in the Telegraph
that the Utica delegation were entitled to
seats from our State, because they repre-
sented, as ] believed, the majority Of the
democracy Of New. York, though | have
advocated the choice Of delegates by Con
gressional districts, as more soundly demo
cratic. But the whole matter has been
submitted to the umpire in the case A full
and fair hearing has been given, and fo
one readily submit, though | trust it j.
the last time that the friends of the goot
cause in our State, or any other State, will
be so unwise-will carry their dissension.
so Ear as to trouble National Convention
with them."
In his paper since his return home, h
says: -
ss'That the action Of the National Con
vention in relation to the New York dele
cations was very different from what WI
could have wished, we have no hesitancy
in saying. But we believe it was actuate'
by an earnest disposition to conciliate tn
two factions, and in the end done what
deemed best under the circumstances.
"The exceptions which are taken to tht
nomination itself, are without any jus
foundation. Gen. Cass is sterling demo
crat, and man every way fitted for th
| station for which he has been nominated
lie was nominated for the UNION, and no
| for any particular section. On oil consti
tutional questions, he will be governed, if Q
lected, strictly by that instrument; and i
is not at all probable that the veto powe
would be interposed to annul the action o
Congress on important questions Of polio,
or expediency."
The Hudson Gazette, too. and able pa
per Of the SO called 'proviso' or "barn
burning" order, says:
"We place at the head Of our columns to
day, the, nominees Of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention which assembled at Bal
timore on Monday last.
However much the Democracy Of thi
State may be disappointed in the result o
the deliberations of the Convention, or il
the nominations that have been made, still
believe it is the duty of every Democrat t
rally around the standard bearers who have
been selected to bear aloft and carry ou1
the principles Of the Democratic party. IL
