To The Editor Of the Union
The interest and anxiety tn which we have beer

convention are all disspated and the political Skies

Such is slight but imperfect sketch of Cass and Butler

Who can say aught against them! Surely democrat

will doubt success? Let those of our own State
who complain carry their complaints to opposition The
Globe of our city, during the winges of disappointment
makes itself ridiculous in its denunciaon Of the of the
conventions but when 1t is remembered that the opposi
ton to the nomination of General Cass here mainly per
sonal, the platform which they erecting will be found
quite TOO and contracted to build upon.
Mr.. Van Buren, faithful, but a successful Exec
ntive Ho was not inleli nominated, but Mr.. Polk was
and elected Has the country red at home or abroad

tor men, unless they are known to be the true exponent of
their principles and they answer the question OF
who is James r. Polk aud also whether he has fully

If So why should any sectional interest take offence
Individuals, perhaps, have who would
have done so had Mr.. Van Buren, been reelected. But
what care the people for this? The want not
office. All they is the laws faithfully executed
by their agents; and whether this is done by Tom
Dick or Harry, long they honest is all the to
them and that they have been honest and faithful let the
number of decations under this and other
be compared.
In Short there is ground for opposition ticket
nominated Ifhere is such, it springs from selfish
ness and will carry neither weight numbers with it,
The of these gentlemen, laid down by Globe
will have effect OF this State; and it, perchance they
should exercise such influence here, lose us the
State of New York. the wrong upon their ow n
headsthe seal of eprobaon will be stamped upon their

political iniamy forever.

own State, but rejoice the nomination made.
Every feel that it will carry a weight and
strength with it, which will prove perfectly irresistible

her heads. The democrats with light step and
smiling countenance, and at every little assembage at
places where is usual for them meet, you can hear
the cheering sounds of three meshree for Cass and But
er given, with will and hearness which tell that the
soul is in it.
We can-we must-we will succeed In a few days the
Old Wigwam will speak.
The feeling here good, and constantly growing better
