The Buffalo Convention.

Our readers are already appraised of the
decisions of this great gathering of the
disappointed and abolitionists. We trust
that no democrat will be misled by the
hurrah of this great abolition agitation,
against the south. Let every candid man
examine the material Of which the con-
vention was composed. and the object
which called it together. and if he is
democrat and goes for the whole Union,
he will stand more firmly by the regular
nominees of the National convention.
The ultimate effect of this convention,
We are at loss at present to divine.--
Like the Hartford convention, it aims at
the integrity and permanency ofthis great
confederaoy. The resolutions. speeches,
and every thing connected with it's pro.
ceedings, display a hostility to one por.
ton ofthe Union. The disposition of the
convention from its commencement, SEEM
ed to be to make war upon the South
We are not surprised to see the abolition.
lists in mass. fall in with this movement,
but to see democrats lending their influ-
ence to these "NoTthern Crusaders"
against the South, is certainly unaccoun-
table. Those democrats who attended
the convention, were. nine-tenths of them,
like Mr.. Van Buren,. disappointed Office
seekers--they care not for Stree soil, {"
but are determined to defeat Gen. Cass,
in order to avenge Mr.. Van Buren's
wrongs.
Mr.. Van Buren,, the man upon whom
''the democratic party has heaped all it's
benefits and honors," in times past. has
lent his name and influence to the defeat
Of thatp party. He enters into the contest
associated on the same ticket with G.. F.
Adams, an abolition 1Ohig. A beautiful
combination for democrats to support!-
Mr.. Van Buren, seems to think he has
prescription on the presidency, and in or
der TO secure it, is willing to forsake bis
party, and hazard the safety of the repub-
lie, by getting up sectional party. His
present position now as the candidate of
the disunion party, contrasts strikingly
with his opinions at former period. when
he was laboring for the votes of the south.
Taking everything into consideration,
We honestly believe that this convention
will not affect the prospect of CAss and
BUTLER. Il will animate the regular
democratic party to fourfold duty. Al.
ready we notice the organization Of Cass
and Butler associations all over the I'm
ion, In Chicago there is Que which is
beginning to sound the death knell to Van
Burenism and Taylorism in that city,
Let the democracy of this county CON-
mence the work. No man should be in
active, If he is lover of democratic prin.
ciples and friend of the Union.
| The MAILS AGAIN.--We are deter
mined to pursue this matter until John
Frink & Co., perform their duty. So far
as the public from Chicago to Ottawa il
concerned, complaint is constant. We
ourselves have witnessed the Irregular.
ties complained of and have been subject.

mined that the saving ola few pence TO
