UTICA, June 22, lS48
The Proceedings of the Blnbivners Convention on
the First Day.
1t is proper to suppose that the deepest interest is
felt by the American public In all the movements
of that hereto section of the democratic party
known as barnburners The eyes of the South,
and the eyes of the North, are centred upon Utica,
the semi-national rendezvous of the lntractabe
democracy. But the barnbumers have declared
that
g No pent up Utica contracts our powers;
The whole boundes5 continent Is ours"
They have boldly declared in their addresses their
resolutions, and their letters, that powerful and
watchul party has been organized at the North,
which extends over the entire Northern portion OF
this continent. This party, nfurlated by the con-
tumely with which its leaders have been treated
maddened by the disasters which it has suffered
ia prepared to make mighty and resistless opposi-
ton t. the election of the nominees presented to
the country by the Baltimore Convention.
The first days proceedings OF the Convention
have been deeply interesting and impressive.
The Convention, IN point of numerical force,
mental energy and personal dignity, will compare
favorably with any deliberalive body that ever
assembled in America. The unanimity of feeling
La
the enthusiasm of the delegates, and OF the people,
who assembled TO witness the deliberations OF this
body, is certainly great and certainly sincere
The early part of the day was occupied by the
Convention in receiving the credentials OF the de-
legates and in appointing the usual committees
In the afternoon, the Hon. Samuel Young was
elected President. This gentleman, on assuming
the chair, delivered short address, which will
be found In the accompanying report OF the pro-
Ceedlngs.
At late hour, the Convention was addressed by
Messrs.. Smith, King, Grover, Van Buren,, Butler,
and Field Their speeches were very plquan, and %
bounds. Mr. Butler read the long expected letter
from Martin Van Buren, 1t is really mastery let
ter, and Mr.. Van Buren, says, in private letter,
that 1t may be the last one he shall ever write he
is therefore anxious that it shall be printed correct
iy, and his anxiety upon this point has made him
guilty OF great improprlsty lie gave orders that
1T should not h be unless the TGof h shsss
friends, whom 1t ID not necessary to name. This
order was highly improper, because i does not
give him chance to compete with the holy al
lance MIR. Van Buren, ought to have been awsre
that no document of this character was ever print
ed incorrectly in the Herald. The next time he
may go to the dogs with his letters.
This evening the democracy were addressed
from the steps OF Baggs hotel by Messrs. Smith, OF
Wayne : Nye. of Madison Taylor. of Ohio; Cas-
serly, of New York Strong, Of Wisconsin.
Tomorrow, Martin Van Buren, will be nomi-
mated for President. There Is no doubt on this
point. The Convention will meet at o'clock to-
morrow morning.
Hen Dodge, of Wisconsin, will be nominated
tor Vice President.
