vania as could be expected, indeed desired Our
didates Cass and Butler perfectly acceptable the
democracy No two candidates, fearlessly and boldly
say, could be mora So The Buffalo nominee cannot
hurt our candidates. but it must inevitably break in upon
the party of our opponents The sympathies of the de
mocracy of our State with the south, numerically
abused by abolitoniss and fanatics We try practise
upon the warning voice of Washington, in repudating
ali attempts to array one portion of the country against
the other and we cannot but feel, and that most ndg
nany, the ingattude and treachery Of Mr. Van Buren,
But as he has bid farewell TO his former friends, and
gone over to the enemy they take OF him. Out
OF New York he cannot hurt think he will ulti-
mately do good.
