10 pitch their snosmpmsat. Martin Van Earsn's
household il represented on the ground in the per.
sons OF his son John and his second son Smith Van
Buren,. Martin Van Buren, h mself is represented by
aletter-a long letter, epgram, an episode in the
annals of American politics. This ground is lmpreg-
nabe; the troops OF the line, the regular troops,
make no impression upon 1t. Their batteries
opened early in the morning and their best guns
were charged with Brandreths best pills, but they
don't make an impression The barnburners are
self confessed invallds, but they don't hike Brand
reth's prescriptions-they want the hydropathic
treatment.
Martin Van Buren,, in his mastery letter to the
Convention, takes an open position. DIX, he
thinks, is In ambush, and has not courage enough
to show himself to the enemy. But Martin shows
his hands-palms, and all. You are aware that
there Is an impression abroad that the Convention
will Nuke no nominations, but this impression Is
false one. The Convention will adopt the advice
of Martin Van Buren,. He urges the necessity OF
a nomination, and his arguments in favor of It are
unanswerable and overwh elming.. be has written
document worthy of Pitt in his palmy days. 1t Is
written with skill and care II will withstand and
outlast the criticisms of his bitterest enemies 1t
will give terrible impulse to the movement
the South. There is danger In it--danger TO
the Union. This letter is broad enough.
Upon the principles which it maintains, great
Northern party will plant itself. and In 1882, that
party will triumph. There Is no need OF DISCUS
ing or denying the fact that these men are becom-
ing more hostile to the South. They say that the
South has had more than its share of Presidents:
Hereafter this party will abandon all the issues and
data ttnn
in favor of entrustng the South with the admins
tration of the government, or Is he not! II he is,
we will resist his election if he is not, We will
support it. This will be the test.
A number OF States will be represented III the
Convention there are delegates present from Ohio,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and one other
States. There Is disposition In several quarters
to postpone this Convention to some future day, IN
order that all the States that wish to unite In the
movement, may have an opportunity to do so; But
this proposition will not prevail nearly all the
baruburner delegates to Baltimore are here; among
others, Preston King, VIM. c. Grain, John p.
Beekman, Benjamin Tilden, NC, NC. There is
spontanety of feeling among them; they will
GO stand up to the rack, fodder or no fodder"
The Convention will assemble III the Baptist
church tomorrow at twe[ve. Martin Van buren,
will be the nominee for President, and Marcus
Morton, of Massachusetts, or Senator Dodge, of
Wisconsin, tor Vice President. ! am very conf
dent that these will be the nominations. Mr.. Van
Buren, will decline, but the Convention will insist
upon its right to command his services, and he
will be forced to accept-molems vaens Martin
Van Buren, will get strong vote in this State. His
friends only hope to throw the election into the
House of Representatives, and they will omit no
efforts to accomplish this object.
An address and resolutions will be adopted by
the Convention. | am informed that they were
drawn up under the direction OF Martin IAN Buren,.
Bagg's splendid hotel is filled with delegates !; it
is the headquarters of the barnburners l am under
obligations to the proprietor for a where
write without intrusion; there scores of unsuc
cessful applicants for rooms.
