THE EARNGuRNERS IN TIE FIELD.
Tho New York delegations were both
excluded at B,,imorc and The Empire State
hal no voice in making General Cass tho
nominee. The following indignant, though
manly protest was submitted on behalf Of
the Barnburners to the Convention:
Protest against lie Impeachment Of the
Committee on Cfedentials:
The Delegation of the Democracy Of the
Suite Of New York to tho L Gilmore Con.
vcn,i,n, respectfully proles, ngains, tho
decision Of this Committee, that before en-
lcring upon the examination Of the cyi-
iencc Of their rights t. seats in the Convcn-
!. ton, and before they have become members
o! the body, they shall pledge themselves
to the decisions Of the Convention, aud 10
support It's nominee. They would ieel
themselves unworthy To represent the De-
mncrecy Of New York il they should snn-
mil to decision which would inpcnch the
integrity Of the representatives and which
would dishonor our State md subject its
delegates 10 n condition which the Cunven-
ton expressly declined to impose upon the
delegates Of any other State in the Union
prior to their admission. The delegates of
The Democracy of New York must he nd
mi;,ed 10 the B,l,imorc Convention ,,ncon-
iitiana.iy, or not of ali.

This however was mt needed aud the
Utica delegates were banned. They camo
with the interests Of tho Free in their
hands, and therefore were unwclcomc. In
this state OF the case, i, does not surprise
us, II learn That they have called Con-
veniion oi their own, to make nominations
for President and Vice President. Il is Ia
assemble on the 22d Of June nj Utica ~ Y.
| VIC rejoice nj this movement. Not how
ever because il renders a Wing triumph
snre-nat because the Wing party nrc to
conquer scattered and divided Zoe, but be-
cause il gives token tina, the chain OF party
fails to bind rs heretofore, its followers in
support Of repugnant doctrines, which so
threateniDgly hing over the country. Tho
Bohon fpos which Gen. Cass has fosicrcd,
aud walcred is whitening. Its deadly in
lluence may yet be avoided. The bow Of
promise spans the political sky, n token Of
better day nrproaching.--Chicago Jour.
TnE LosT ForND.--Our readers will
remember the advertisement tina, VIC pub
Ilshcd few weeks since, concerning Mr..

search after IL, and that letter states that
he has IT last traced and found iIoskns at

her'y, in whose company he left this paro
in the winter Of 'i6. IT. lie wus informed
b, Daucherty that lioshins seemed strange
on several occasions, and TINT he has been

Immediately. Altogether, il is a very
strange aiia;r.-Harheye.
