RETURNING FROM THE WARS.

As the Volunteers marched up Broad l way on Thursday. we saw in the crowd on 1 tho side""lh. two women, walking along
 with the regiment, bolh weeping bitterly. One was about fifty years of age, the oih> CT perha ps thirty, and the latter carried a baby in her alms They were strangers to each other, and when we first saw them, were some distance apart, but being jostled together by the crowd, they looked into each others face, and seemed instantly io teel inc bond of common grief, and without exchanging word walked on ,ogcther- We saw the gaze of many turned towards them and men made way for them kindly, with that respect which is invOluEtariIy pad to afflic,ion. and the additional res gard which on such a day is paid to the mother of the soldier who fell in battle, or to the soldiers widow. The scene was striking, and full ot painful in, rest.

~The Buffalo Commercial of Tues- Convention to be held on the following day, from which we make an extract. The Barnbu, ners say they have an organization already effected, loo strong, anc with interior objects too important 10 allow of their Seing merged m any new. single idea organization. They go for free soil, il IS true, but the rxciusion of slavery .on the territories is but one of inc many objects they have in view. They clalm to De democrats Uf the stralt- .st sect, and the sub>Treasury, free trade, and all the other dOgmas they have for. merly prOtt ssed, must still be maintain- ed. But. as more important than all else, they will insist upon surh an ar>
 engagement of matters that lhe result of the movements in which they are enga- ged, shall special y enule to their benefit. Foxy Old Van Rurenltes do not work for nothing and tind themselves, for the good oi the public now any more than they
 did iwenly years ago, But The Aboli> llOnisls arc, at the same time, a stumbling biock and necessary allies. They have an organization us well as the Barnburn. e.s. Th:s might be got over, hui tor the fact ;hal, unhappiIy, they are stiff necked. obstinate generation, and appear to beileve in what they profess. A com promise If some kind. therefore, must bc effected in order io bring ihs. opposing elements into harmonious action. and the compromise that we hear suggested IS ,hc nomination of Martin Van Barren for President, and John P. Hale for Wee l'residrDt. A strong effort will be made, especially by the Western Delegates, 10 throw Van Buren overheard altogether, bu, we have no confidence in it's success. The BarnhurueTs will never consent to it, and tt |, cannot be prevented :n any oth- CT way they will recede. Few, If any Whigs, su far ns we can learn, have .any lb,ng to do wiih the Convention. There will undoubtedly, be some Wbigs in at tendance. but their number will be com paratively. sosmall, that they will hardly be taken into account
