The Barnburner delegates to the Loco

York, in which they set forth the mistrcat
mcnt they received at Baltimore, show u,
the way the Hunker delegates were self
elected, how the voice Of New York wa
virtually silenced, and yet how the dele
gates from Florida, Georgia, Alabam;
and Virginia, though coming to the Con

extension OF slavery, were admitted with
out any such restrictions as were attemp

The delegates from the above mentioned
slave States ere pledged beforehand, no

A recent meeting was held in the city
Of New York, which approved the nomi-

A vote has been obtained in a very thin
meeting Of the Democratic General Com
mittee Of this city in favor of the nomina-

meeting. we learn that the nomination
would have been directly repudiated.
Even if the meeting were a full one, the

Of a school-master who had gone in and
