from 4" democratic" papers, tending to show now

before it would take advantage of any such
" ridiculous and "dsgusting" discussions in
the Wing ranks; but then our readers have a
right, as they doubtless feel a natural curiosity,
to see what Mr.. Cass's political friends think and
say of him.
The likelihood that the two divisions of the
Locofoco party in the Free States (there are
Barnburners in Vermont, gentle reader, and in
other States of the Union besides New York;
will finally ~coalesce and harmonize on the nom
nation, is getting " small by degrees, and beau

says -
"There are bets making in Albany that Gen. Cass
will not carry a majority in any one county IN New
York. Before thirty days have elapsed there will be
bets offered that there is not a state III the Union That
will cast her electoral vote for Cass."
This is rash 4! If Cass don't get the vote of
Teras, it will be a piece of the blacklist iDgrat-
itude. lie has evinced a far stronger love and
sympathy for that miscellaneous State than he
ever did for his own, and has shown that he
would prefer that every Michigan vessel that
threads its way among the shoals of Lake St
Clair, should 90 to the bottom, rather than that
Texas should be curtailed of a single slave right
or be deprived of a single slave market! He

The bargain by which Cass sold himself to the slave
interest, and pledged himself to veto any bill to linn
1t the extension OF slavery over free territory, has been
. consuminatcd. But thank Heaven, New York has
0 no lot or part in the matter. Her voice was not heard
No vote was given, either by her genuine or her spu'
o rious delegates and TO her the proceedings of the
r convention are a dead blank-a complete nullity.-
Uhile a single individual-a slave-drlver by trade
chosen from a fractional part of one district in Soutl
!. Carolina, was allowed to give the whole nine votes Of
j. the state, the t%hirty-six regularly chosen delegate

But never have we felt prouder of the Empire Stat
and OF her noble democracy, than at this moment
he manner III which her representatives have born
q themselves through the fiery trials, is worthy Of tn
= highest admiration.
The Ulster Republican, speaking of the Oh,
Hunkers, says,
"They have now consummated the browning out
: rage by combining with slavery eXtensionsts to dis
# grace New York, and exclude her from the council
!, OF the nation. We are content. Upon their head
II must rest the odlum and the responsibility"
A mass meeting of the " democracy of New
York is called, to be holden in that city hi
erening. In the mean time the Barnburner De
egates to the Baltimore Convention headed b
e C.. c. Cambreleng and Jared Wilson, have pr
: forth a long and able Address to their Constitr
X ents, giving a history Of the action of that Cor
~vention which resulted in their exclusion, an

= "The nominations which have been made by thel
is are not, therefore, nominations for New York the
have been made by a body in which she was not re,
resented, without allowing her any voice in the d,
liberations from which they have resulted, and witt
out her agency assent or concurrence. The demo-
racy of this State are therefore thrown back upon Il
alternative of either having no regular candidates II
- those important public trusts, or OF nominating f
themselves through their own legitimate State orgal
