Zachary Taylor? For the sake of the free

exactly what the old fellow did do. He
knew too much of Slavery to consign even
the humblest man to it by Executive com

occasion:

From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser,
THE WAY IT WAS DONE.

We are indebted to delegate TO the Con-
vention, who was also one of the COulerCes
TO whom was delegated all the power Of the
: Convention, for the following statement of
the means used TO effect the nomination of
Martin Van Buren,. What think the honest
AboliioniSts oftle dose the Van Buren, doc
tors have proposed for them?
In the Committee of COnicrees, the Plat
form was read by b. f. Butler, as Chairman
on Resolutions. When the reading was done
instantly IT,; TO Chairman said-It is moved and
seconded, llaJ the resolutions nc ;c,,"n'ed.
all YOU in favor, say aye-carricd. III this
point, a member, who had from the reading
tried TO get recognized. rose and said :"Mr
Chairman, voted for the resolutions, and ]
now move to reconsider the vote, for the
purpose OF amendment" The Chair declared
him out of order. Another member arose
aud endeavored to be heard, declaring that
the first member was in order The Chair
man, Mr. :. =. Chase, the great liberty lea
der, continued to declare every thing out of
order, and Immediately said: "Hou in favor
of calling the roll will say ayc-carried.--
The Clerk will call the roll for an Informal
halIot-and it will Inc understood that i'll this
vote there is nothing binding upon any man."
The roll was called, and the States voted {;
each one raining who for. In this vote
two of the supposed most reliable friends Of
John 2. bale viz s. =. Chase and Henry p.
Stanton, voted for Van Buren,. While some
old Democrats, like Bolton Of Cleveland, vo-
ted for Hale. If Mr. iale's supposed conf
dental friends, who were left to protect him
by their presence in the committees, &c,
continued true TO him, Inc would have been
nominated, or had il been supposed, that
Chase and Stanton were treGcherous, they
would have never been placed in the posi-
ton they were, where their treachery conld
be powerfully effective in defeating hoIe's
nomination.
There is no doubt now, that New York
was packed hy consent of Hale traitors, n
gaiEst him, with men who came for that very
purpose. Ii is known that the Van BUrcn
men, Butler, sc, have for e weeks refused
to come in and abide the decision ofthe Con-
vention-that those packed in were from
the city of New York, members ola League
organized within two weeks, and which
League, on or about the first Of August, vo
ted down resolution to send delegates to the

decision. Twenty-Five was MIR Van Buren'S
majority, and more than that number can he
