From the Ottawa Free Trade I,
The Barnburner Convention,

Dur readers will expect Of US that we
should give some account ofihe barnburp.
er convention which met al this place On
"Wednesday, yet we could prefer TO leave
the task in the hands ofthe friends of the
movement; for we know that ifw give q
true history of the affair, persons at q
distance will think our account is preju.
diced. What viii they think il we say
that the number who came as delegates,
for the express purpose Of attending the
convention. and who took part ia IFS pro.
ceedings. did not exceed 1917
+ Our neighbor, If The ConstitutiOnalist,w We
observe, has felt the same difficulty We
al.ude 10, and he puts down very liberal
Iy the number at 900. There were prob.
ably that many Landowners in the court
house at one time, and tdere may have
been more, but there were not as many
delegates. A friend has furnished us
with the following classification of the
real delegation. which he AYERS is cor.
.ect. There were Of them
81 abOlitiOnisis,
81 democrats,
19 wings. .s,.
But we shall not fight about what they
uere-they are all barnburners now. =
There were dozen or more of speech

The first made was that of Mr.. ST. Clair,

very able speaker, and made strong

Democrats Reflect before ron Ac..


1t connot be denied, but that the re are.
many in the northern parsofihe Statewide.
have protested democratic principles
hitherto. that are now leuding their infu.
ence to increase the Van Buren, excite
rnent. Mosf'ofthose are men who have
a strong attachment to the man, but we
beseech them to examine his present
position. There is yet about two months
time to reflect before election, and we
hope that q wise disposition win be made
Of that time by those individules who are.
countenancing this needless agitation.
1t is but reasonable to conclude that
Mr.. Van Buren, is governed in his present
course, entirely by feeling of revenge.
He has mounted the free soil.hobby, the
more efectually TO enable HIM to vent bis
spite against his party. He makes
'slavery exiention" the bug bear to frighs
en- the people into his scheme. For our
lives, we cannot account for the excite
nent that has been go, up on this ques
ton. Who believes that slavery will be
tolerated in any Of our lately acquired
territory? The situation Of the country.
the soil &c, is proof enough that slavery
will not exis, there leaving the considera
ton that that territory is non free ouI. of
the question. When these things are
considered, what more can be expected
from Martin Van BGren than from our
regular candidate Gen. Cass.
lfVan Buren, effects anything it will be
fhe defeat Of rue democratic candidate
No sane man, il he will reflect a n oment,
can be OF The opinion that he stands the
smallest chance Of being elected. We
have had a fair sample of the effects his
running will have. if many democrats
support him, in the late election in this
county, for sheriff. Will true democrats
support him? Willthey forsake the Ma
tiossal measures Of our party. those meas
ures that have rendered our government
so prosperous. On account Of the great
''sCare crow" behind which Mr.. Van
Buren, has placed HIMSELF We have too
high an opinion Of the intelligence, and
consistency of the democracy to believe
that any portion Of tfrem will be found
voting for the wing candidate on rl1e day
OF election-or which is the same, failing
to vote for the regular democratic nom.
