The Barnburners' Convention.

II is reported that the barnburner con.
vention held at Utica, N. Y, on the 22nd

President. and Gov. Dodge, of Wisconsin,
forVice President. Sho'd this report prove
true. cannot persuade ourselves TO be.
lieve that either of these'distinguished
menwill permit his name to be used for the
object of defeating the democratic party.
At all events, the democracy ofthe Union
will support no other than the nominees
Of the Baltimore convention. They are
good men and tried, and are so viewed
by all true democrats. No individual can
class himself with the democratic party
who sustains the movements of few

A gentleman who arrived in this CITY

seem to have incurred the displeasure of
their fellow savages. Capt. Vanvleet of

with several hostile parties.
A portion of the Oregon battalion, I'm.

accompanied by small escort only. A

Mr.. Shay arrived here on Monday last
from Fort John on Platte river. On his
way in, he met about 800 wagons of Or.
egon, and California emigrants, and 900
OF Mormons' All were getting on well.
The first company was 500 miles from
the settlements and the last about $50
miles. A company Of California emf.
grants, numbering about sixty, had a
little difficulty with the Pawnees, but no
person was injured. From the best in j..
formation We can gather, the emigration
this season TO Oregon and California,
will not exceed $50 wagons-about six.
teen hundred souls. The Mormons are
leaving camp Israel In large numbers,
and at this time, upwards of six hundred
wagons have Left for the Salt Lake. The
outbreak among the Indians will not deter
them from crossing the plains this season,
az they are anxious that all their brethren
should get together as soon as possible.

Precinct Meeting.

We trust our democratic brethren will
not neglect the precinct meetings, which
are TO be held in each precinct in this
county on Saturday next. It is of great i'm.
portance to the democratic party of the
county, that these meetings should be well
attended. The dissensions which dis
tracted our party at the last August elec-
ton, should be a warning to lovers of
democratic measures; and should, induce
republicans to turn out and endeavor to
have candidates selected, who will be the
least exceptionable. This must be done
if we desire success.

For CONGRESS,
JOHN WENTWORTH,
The Nominations.

We are this week enabled to present
to our readers, our candidates for Senator
and Representatives. The ticket nomi-
mated Is strong one, and one which every
democrat of the district can support with
pleasure and pride.
Mr.. MATTEsoN, the nominee for sena.
tor, is a cilizen of this place, of eminent
worth and character. He has represent.
ed the people ofthis district, in our State
Senate for six years. From his conceded
financial knowledge, and bis acquaintance
with the affairs of state government, he
was placed at the head of the Committee
on Finance. He has contributed to raise
the credit of the state. and that he will,
if elected, perform his duties with regard
to the interests of the State and people,
cannot be doubted. Mr.. Matteson's views
are in entire accordance with the reform
atory policy proposed by our new constitu.
ton, which if carried out by our legisla.
'ure will greatly augment our state reven-
ues, and finally enable us to discharge our
public debt. The skill, ability and sound.
ness OF principle, which he has exhibited
entitle him TO the confidence ofthe people,
and qualify him for his station.
The selection of WIN. E. LITTLE, Esq,
as a candidate for representative is an
excellent one. He represented this coun.
ty and Iroquois in our last Legislature, and
distinguished himself as a practical and
capable legislator. Possessing profession
al talents of high order, he is eminently
qualified for the important duties which
will devolve upon our next Legislature.
His conceded qualifcations-his integri.
ty and worth-snd his high regard for the
principles of the democratic party, are
secure guarantees that the duties of Rep.
resentative could not be placed in better or
w0thier hands.
MIR. BRADY, the nominee for Represen.
tative from Kendall county, is merchant,
and possesses the confidence of the de-
mocrocy of his county. We have no per.
sonal acquaintance with him, but learn
that he possesses abilities which qualify
him for tho office for which he is candi
date. He has resided in that county since
its organization, and enjoys the confidence
Of his fellow citizens.
The nominee from Du Page county, Mr..
WHEATON, Is a farmer and resides In the
northern part of that county. He is said
to be acquainted with public life, 81 to pos.
sess the requisite abilities to make him q
good representative. He is the present
School Commissioner Of his county, and
enjoys reputation for talents and integ-
rity, and sterling adherence to the prin.
oiples, usages and measures of the demo.
cratic party.
Taking the nominations all together,
they could not be bettered. True, the
ticket selected may not please all, for
every individual has his personal prefer.
ences ard predictions, but as it is the
choice of the convention. every democrat
should give it a vigorous and energetic
support. Our party can only be sustained
by a strict adherence to regular nomina.
tlons, which II observed will ensure US a
triumphant victory.

The Convention.

In anotner column may be seen the
proceedings Of the convention held by .ner
counties of Will, Iroquois. Kendall and
Du Page, for the purpose of nominating
candidates to be supported by the democ-
raey of the district composed of those
counties, for the offices OF Senator and
Representatives to our next Legislature.
The proceedings, and especially, the res
olutions, are unusually lengthy; but, we
trust that they will be read by every dem.
oerat in the district.
Each county was fully represented in
the convention. Among the number of
delegates we beheld many distinguished
democrats-men who have battled long in
the cause. A high regard for principle
and the good of the party, characterized
the whole proceedings.
According to the apportionment under
the new constitution, the four counties
composing this district, are entitled TO one
senator and three representatives. After
the nomination of senator, representa-.
tive was nominated from each of the coun.
ties of Kendall and Du Page. There was
then ballot taken for the third represen.
tative. Mr.. Nilsson, of Iroquois. and w.
E. Little, Esq, of this county, were the
candidates. The balloting was extremely
close, and, for time, it was impossible
to tell who would be selected. Messrs.
Chamberlain, Thomas, Case, Wagner.
Stanley, and others. of Iroquois, labored
manfully for their candidate, and able
speeches were made on both sides ia re
gard to the location of the candidates, and
which would he the most proper to nom.
mate. The choice finally fell on Mr.. Lit
tie, and he was declared the nominee.
The result was responded to by Mr.. Cham.
berlain, in behalf Of the Iroquois county
delegation, who stated that, notwithstand-
ing bis strenuous endeavors to procure
the nomination Of Mr.. Nilsson, he would
give Mr.. Little cordial support. Such
magnanimity on the part of the Iroquois
delegation, is highly commendable. Their
conduct while in the convention, and their
surrendering their personal preferences in
order that success mightcrow our efforts,
and our principles be sustained, certainly
entities them to great credit. They will
be remembered by their democratic breth
rem of this county, who long for m oppor.
tunity to display like degree of concili.
alton and forbearance towards them.
We cannot conclude this article with.
out stating the controversy between the
friends of Mr.. Little and Mr.. Nilsson, in
the convention was in regard to location.
there was no personal conflict between
them in reference to their preference OF
candidates. Leaving the matter of loca.
ton out Of the question, MIR. Little was
almost the unanimous choice Of the con.
vention. We are glad that he was select.
ed, for he will mako an able representa-
tive, and Is certain of an election.

peanaw with M e xic o.

We have on more than one occasion given our
reasons for believing that no permanent peace could
be expected between this country and Mexico, even
were the Trst treaty ratified, of which there was
and is no probability. The Mexican Congress, we
are informed has at last found quorum, by not
counting in the number of which the body ought to
be composed, several States which it is pretended
can or should be dispensed with. But even if a
majority of that quorum is in favor of the treaty, it
is well known that a considerable minority is opp0
sed to it, and they have it in their power to defeat
all action by merely Withdrawing. That when it
comes to the final vote they will withdraw, have
every reason to believe. Indeed, the tone of the
public men and the press in Mexico confirms the
suspicion which we long since expressed, that all
this farce of negotiation was but to gain time, In
order to tire us out or perchance gain some advan-
tage our forces, reduced by sickness and demo-
rallied by Incidence and inactivity. The extracts
which we made from Mexican papers yesterday
and those which will be found in our columns Oh
this morning. show that the people OF tha' country
entertain other reasons for hoping to gain aa'ahi-
ges from delay They have been led to peiieVe ny
the folly of the partisan press, and by lle Hall no"
sonable conduct of few madmen IN Congress- u
believe that half of the people OF this country
are really the friends OF Mexico anu 'i'o
of our own government, in every fhing feiatihg 10
this war; They refuse, therefore, to make peace,
with the expectation that change of administra-
ton would work an entire change in our interna-
tiona relations 1t is, of course, useless for us to
expose the folly of such hopes but the Mexicans
entertain them and some among us have unfortu-
nately given them too much cause to believe that
their expectations have shadow of foundation.
But though the Mexicans are deceived in their an
teipations of a change of policy, from change of
administration, the delusion has taken so strong
hold of their minds that it will operate strongly
than any other cause, perhaps, than all others
combined to prevent them from coming to any
speedy or reasonable arrangement. Let us then no
longer indulge in foolish hopes of peace,-et Con-
gress give the money and men at once, and let
them be used with suddenness and effect,-it is
better, easier, to conquer than any longer under
take to buy peace.

PEACE OR WAR.-m reading over one of the
letters of our correspondent Chaparral,'' pub
lished yesterday, we observe that Mr. Clifford, one
of the Commissioners, in reply to toast given at a
collation., after the review of the troops remarked
that ''we should soon have peace or wars This
seems to indicate determination on the part of the
Commissioners not to be trifed with by Mexican
diplomacy and delay. If they act up to the decla-
tion it is not unlikely that the news of the final re-
suit Of the treaty negotiation may reach the city by
the English steamer of to-day or tomorrow.

LAMARTINE's HISTORY OF THE OLD REvoLU-
TIoN.-hIr. Steele, and other New Orleans book
sellers, have for sale the concluding volume of
Lamartine s History Of the Grondists-awork here
toiore mentioned in our columns, and one which
more deserves to be called history than any yet
printed on the subject which it treats Of This con-
Guiding volume brings upon the scene the entire
party Of the Girondsts picturing to wildly their
final struggle, the gallant deaths of Verginaud and
his companions in Paris and the perilous wander
iHgs of the refugees in the Provinces. Many of the
picturesque details of these scenes are taken for the
first time from the lips of surviving actors and eye
witnesses; these are supplied by the mute records
Of newly discovered monuments of the times The
volume, including the trial and death of Marie An
toinette, the fate of Madame Roland, the last DAYS
OF Egalite, and the unique tragedy of the Angel
OF Assassination" Charlotte Corday, ends with the
fall of Robesplerre. The views of Lamartine upon
the financial and other crisis of the Revolution.
which would appear to have been written for the
present tme give additional interest to the pages
OF this brilliant work. 1t is said, and we believe
with truth, that the Grondiss had great effect
In producing the late revolution. Then it is fitting
that Lamartine, himself, should be principal agent
IN developing the great drama, whose introduction
he has caused
