Nominated for President, and Henry
Dodge, for Vice President!
We learn that the Convention of Barn
burners at Utica have brought out the above
ticket. We shall see now where our fam

Savocracy will find to their sorrow, that
they cannot with IMMUNITY trample upon the
Great State of New York and silence her
voice in Convention. That the Barnburn-
ers have brought out good ticket, strong
ticket, it is useless to deny. That they in
fintely better deserve success than the Hun
ker nominations. we will admit; hut that
both Hunkers and Barnburners will be most
gloriously whipped, is certain. As for Cas-,
