IMPORTANT PoLITIcAL MovrMENr-THE BARN

Saturday last, which is the organ of the barn

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION NOMINATE PREsI-
DENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.
PHILADELPHIA, May 20. 1648
Our delegates have called State Convention for the
22d of juno, ct Utica to nominate candidates for
have appointed committee to prepare an address TO
the republicans Of the State
HERSELF.
The regular delegates to the national convention.
who refused TO countenance the juggling of that
body, and Withdrew from it, when It refused to
decide upon the just claims OF the State, have called
State Convention for the 22d June next at Utica to
nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency.
Well done The people have awaited such a call with
impatient eagerness. In the contest that is to APP
proach, New York wishes to speak and act She will
now BIO heard and felt. The men who in the Balti-
more convention boosted that they could get along
without New York. will learn that it is New ork that
can get along without them.
Democrats. organize for the campaign The seec-
tion Of delegates to the Utica convention affords the
opportunity for taking the first step. Let it not be
in their noble attitude If you wish to teach your
mics your strength and consequence; If you wish to
speeches, or meetings or conventions or the press,
that you must do it, but by timely, careful and tho
rough organization. With thisyou can defy faction,
and all its corrupt appliances without it the best di
rected endeavors will fall short Of execution
The Rubcon has, at length, been passed-the
split is complete, and the decree has gone forth,
that the barnburners-with John Van Buren, at their
head and the Wilmot proviso at their tail-no lon
ger constitute part of the democracy of the
North. The above article speaks for itself. The
barnburners have hoisted an independent flag, on
which is written ''no surrender" and hence
forth they will devote their time and services
for the benefit Of the blacks who may hereafter be
located on the argin of the great salt lake in the
deserts of California
A convention having been determined upon, the
next question is, who will they nominate! We
may be obscure in penetrating the extent of their
love for the colored races in California but we
plead no such impeachment in perceiving the solicit
tude which they enter tain for the spois. We
think, therefore, that they will revert back to the
resolution which they passed in their Herkimer
convention, in favor of General Taylor or Judge
Mclean, and adopt one of those distinguished
men as their leader; for, in case one of them
should be nominated by the wing convention
at Philadelphia--of which there is now more
probability than ever-they would come in
tor portion, at least, of the loaves and
fishes, in case of his election. This is a
mighty great consideration with politicians;
and besides this inducement, they would have
the satisfaction of revenging themselves on
the Baltimore convention, and on the democratic
nominee, General Cass.
1t is very probable that this will form their pro-
gramme; and our surmise in this respect, is
strengthened by information which we have re-
ceived that Preston King and Mr. Vinton, of Ohio
the one a barnburner and the other staunch
whlg-have been talking over matters and thngs
and, perhaps, negotiating, for few days past, at
Washington.
The political world is full of changes. Great fun
ahead. The more the politicians quarrel, the bet
ter 1t is for the country. We shall watch the
movements of the barnburners with more interest
than ever.
