| NEWPORT, August 2, ls4s.
The barnburners-but another name for the abolition
lstshed their convention yesterday IN the city OF Prov
dence The abolonIsts proper brought to this conven
ton all the their influence would command, and the
barnbuners proper all their disappointed office
and rejected oice-hoders The chief men who attended
the convention were those who for many years past,
have been foremost in the abolition ranks Walker and
Charles f. Adams of Massachusetts, mutis abs, of
the same rank and calbre, there. Those gen
temen the high priests of the ceremony John Van
Buren, was not present, although he was advertised to be
there his was, OF course, mere honeypo to catch
flies. This meeting has done no harm. How much it
may have injured the Taylor wings, am not now pre-
Buffalo Convention They were instructed to vote for
Judge Mclean for the presidency.
In this State, as wing principles have been lost sight
ent advised have say that the Taylor electoral ticket
may have plurality (of this am by cerain,)
but will not have majority OF our electoral votes Van
Burens eachey, and that of his adherents takes from
ranks but disappointed office seekers, and
one hundred in whole State all told Ten times that
number of those who have heretofore through thick and
thin chung with tenacity to the wing ranks, will be
taken from the same. What have said of the barn
burners here, and their influence, will apply with equal
force to the whole of New England conederacy In
Massachusetts il is not believed that the Taylor ticket
will be elected by the people Ii our friends in Vermont
will but do their duty, our ticket will be successful there
cannot at this moment, speak with certainty of Con-
nectcut but, presumng from what friends have al
ready DONE and what they able to do the State may
be carried for Gen. Cass
In the south prospects better, partcu
lary in Louisiana, Georgia. South Carolina, and Florida
By the fate in the House of the late compromise BILL
appears to the south will find out who their real
friends If CritteAden defeated in Kentucky Tay
lorism may well hang its harp upon the willows. So
i Judge Mclean shall receive the nomination of the
Buffalo convention.
Our prospects from all quarters most encouraging
and we have everything to cheer to glorious
summation OF our work.
NoRwIcH, Aug g. ls4s.
There is no enthusiasm here for Taylor. He cannot
west OF the Green Mountains cannot say, but in this
part OF the State they will do but little; and think we
shall carry the State for General Cass. The vanites
held convention at Mddlebury Tuesday. | have
not heard the result but some individuals who could
not occupy so conspicuous place in the democratic
themselves among the anti Taylor wings and abolition
lists Van Buren,, like his great progentor, Aaron Burr
is destined to 60 to the tomb in disgrace He told
New Hampshire democrat, few weeks since, that Gen
Cass defeated his nomination in 1914, and that now he
determined to defeat General Cass. do not believe
that the little Dutch traitor will carry New York after
all, or get one electoral vote
New jersey.
The following is an extract from letter written by
one of the ablest and best informed democrats in New
Jersey:
TRENTON, July 81, 1913.
1t is now reduced to certainty that shall have
free-soi electoral ticket in this State Large meetings
have been held in Essex and Gloucester-both strong
whig distrcts-to appoint delegates, &C.. The movers,
in nine out Of ten, wings, and many of them
prominent and Influential This ticket will poll, think.
at least 5000 votes in the Sateperhaps three times that
number; and in either event, will surely give the State
to Cass and Butler
give it now my deliberate opinion, in which am
sustained by almost all my acquaintance, that the seven
electoral votes of the Jersey Blues will be given for the
Baltimore nominees.

This is the great wing county, that always elected
Stewart to Congress The democrats here are active and
devoted General Cass. Our candidate for Congress-
Hon John L. Dawson is the stump, and think will
be elected
