Geographic despatch, announcing the nomination
of General Cass for the Presidency received here

announcing the nomination of General Butler, of
Kentucky for the Vice Presidency received about

remarkably gratifying to any pa rty except the wings
The nominations were made without the concurrence
of the delegates from New York and it may be said,
hereafter, that the resolutions admitting both delega
tions into the convention. adopted in violation
of the constitutional rights of of the independent
sovereignties of this Union. In fact it appears
that these COMMUNICATING been made with.

The New York delegation did not voluntarily absent
itself from the sitting but the convention refused to
allow the regular delegation (Which it may have

witness Of the proceedings of her sister States hold
that it was the imperative duty Of the convention
to determine and declare which delegation from New
York entitled to seats. The convention had

These proceedings may be followed by different
suit from that which the convention seemed to
pect 1t certainly probable that the whole and

totally refuse to sustain them to participate in the
canvass in any manner. This view Of the may
appear singular but believe it is correct. According
the ideas of the members of both delegations from
this State they have both suffered indgnity, be-
both were virtually excluded from the conven-

ton will oppose the ticket; and the other section
will not give it that cordial and hearty support which
they might have done If thoy had been admitted into
the convention.

the proceedings Of the ntion received Pro-
badly before this letter reaches you will have been
informed that the Van Buren, delegation from this
State hava protested against the proceedings of the
convention, and that they have called an indcpen-
dent convention Of their own if they have not al
ready done it, they will do il at no distant day.
We have clear and warm weather.
