BARNBURNERs' MEETING AT NEwYoRK.-The
great meeting of the barnburner section of the de-
mocratc party at NewYork came off on the 9th
inst in the Park. A Geographic despatch to the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
The meeting of the barnburners in the Park this
evening was large and enthusiastic Mark Spencer
presided assisted by about five Vice-Presdents and
fifteen or twenty Secretaries. C. C. Cambreleng
read protest against the action of the Baltimore
Convention, and said the hunkers were seceders
from the party, and that the barnburners were the
true democracy.
He was followed by John Van Buren,, who said
the barnburners would not, under any crcum-
stances, vote for any nominee of the wings; that
he desired to preserve the democratic party intact
B. T. Butler said that he did not recognize the
nomination of Gen. Cass it was not binding on the
democracy and he would be governed by the Con-
vention to assemble on the 22d of June. That Con-
vention would examine the claims of Gen Cass,
and if he was found to be sound on the subject OF
the extension of slavery to free territory, that body
might nominate him. He concluded by saying that
if such Convention as the one assembled in Bal
tmore had nominated Van Buren,, Dix or Slade, or
even Thomas Jefferson he would not support it.
Mr.. Butler was followed by Mr.. Nye, and after
the adoption of the resolutions, the meeting ad
journed in high spirits.
Before adjournment, it was agreed to hold Con-
vention in Utica on the 22d inst. John Van Buren,
denied that his father wished the nomination for
President. The number in attendance was esti-
mated at five thousand.
The hunkers also organized meeting in front of
the Hall of Records, which also largely attend
ed No prominent speakers were in attendance
