In order to atone in some measure for
the lack of democratic representation
in the Abolition, or I" Free Soil' State
Convention which met here on the Doth
inst, and presuming upon the same spirit
of blind and trucking man worship among
the democracy, that they have always
been accustomed to witnessing in the wing
ranks, that convention has seen fit to nut
upon its ticket the names of Gen. V.P.
VAN AsTwERr. and DR.. G. O. WATERS.
1t is worthy of remark that the convention
has endeavored to place those gentlemen
in position before the country which no
act Of their past lives will justify. Intact,
no one in the convention pretended to any
personal knowledge of their position which
could justify the act, except through Ma
dam Rumor, that common slanderer whose
assistance is always invoked in bad
cause. But neither of them having any
friends in the convention, political or per-
sonal, they were of course at its mercy.
OF Gen. VAN ANTWERP we will say,
that no one here thinks for moment that
he will accept the nomination; not even
his enemies, Of which he, as fearless
champion in the cause Of democracy and
equal rights, has many. We know from
his own mouth, if indeed such an evidence
is called for from democrat, that he will
support the democratic nominees for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency. But
the evidences of this gentleman's former
friendship for Martin Van Buren,, have
been taken as SO many proofs of devoted
ness to his political fortunes in his aposta-
cy. Nothing could be more unjust to any
man, and especially to one whose devot-
edness to the democratic cause has been
so long, SO uniform, so able and self-sacri-
ticing as has Gen. Van Antwerp's. Fur
Their, we know that he has refused to ad-
dress meeting at which he was request
ed to speak, giving as reason, his disap-
prevail Of the new movement. Thus much
we have deemed it necessary to say, in
view of the fact that this gentleman, who
had not the remotest idea of the liberty
taken with his name, is now absent on
visit to St. Louis, and consequently it will
be some time before he can speak for him
self, and set himself right before the coun-
try.
OF Doctor WATERS we deem it only
necessary at this time to say, that we have
| seen letter written since his nomination,
in which he says he has "declined the
| honor"

New York Politics.

The Clay men held their meeting at
Pcughkeepsie, New York, on Saturday
week. The New York Tribune says that
it was attended by twelve hundred Wings.
w. II. Talmage presided, assisted by
twelve Vice Presidents and five Sccreta-
ries. Addresses were delivered by Col.
Price, Of New York, and Norman VI. Fin
lay, Esq, and William Wilkinson, Esq,
OF Poughkeepsie. A series of resolutions
reported by Cyrus X. Corliss, nominating
Henry Clay for the next Presidency, and
Willard Fillmore for the Vice Presidency,
were unanimously adopted.
In the N. Y. Tribune, of Thursday last
the 18th inst, appears call, to which is
appended upwards of twelve hundred sig
natures, for public meeting to be held in
that city the same evening, ''ior the pur-
pose of publicly and unitedly declaring
their preferences for Henry Clay as Pres
ident of the United States, and Willard
Fillmore for Vice President; and to take
the necessary measures to secure the APP
pointment of an Electoral Ticket, to afford
an opportunity for the expression of such
preferences through the ballot-box.'
From the above article which we take
from the Louisville Courier, ''Nativc"
Taylor paper, it will be seen that the
Wing camp in New York is in terrible
state Of commotion and disunion, the
''real simon pure" or Clay wings, being
determined not to ''sacrifce the integrity
Of The whig party" by supporting General
Taylor any longer. The meeting which
took place on the Evening of the 18th in
the city of New York, was one of the
largest wing demonstrations held this sea-
son, and has created CONSERVATION and
dismay in the Taylor ranks. The N. Y.
Express, Taylor paper, in giving de-
scription of the meeting, heads the pro-
ceedings as follows:

SIEGE AND SURRENDER OF VIENNA. On
the Soth OF October the city being completely
surrounded by the forces OF Windischgratz and

ton as to necessity Of an immediate surrender
which ended In the citizens coming to a resolu-

unconditional submission, which was in fact for
warded to the Imperial camp. AT this moment
however, word was brought that the Hung arians
were approaching, and as such turned out to be
the case, new lie was given to the defence and
the wishes OF the citizens were overruled But
the Hungarian forces, although consisting of 49,
600 men, numbered only 600 regular troops, and
these no sooner came within sight of the Impe-
rial army than they deserted to its ranks. After
this the remainder, thrown into confusion, were
compelled to rapid retreat, ending in severe
loss, vast numbers OF them having it is said
been driven into the Danube. The hopes OF the
Viennese were then efectually extinguished and

" The Telegraph OF Saturday, in one OF Its very
impartial and neutral paragraphs has read the whole of
the Cass Democracy of Massachusetts directly into the
Taylor ranks. In commenting the fact, that the
Taylor men the Legislature in filling the Essex Sem
atoria vacancy gave their influence and votes for
George OShorae the democratic candidate who recev-
ed but 4720 from the people, and in opposition
Edmund Kimbal the Free Soil candidate, who received
1850 votes, it says:
We should like we'll to know what party would
not have employed the same means under the
same circumstances, to elect its own candidate
over an opponent. The Democrats would have
done the same, had they held the power in their
hands. II the Free Sellers had been similarly
circumstanced, perhaps they would have yielded
their preferences and voted for Wing or a Dem
Ocrat. But we hardly think they would SO tame
ly throw away victory.
Perhaps the Telegraph can enlighten point not
very obvious our perceptions how the Taylor party
could claim Osborne otis candidate" or how it
was any "victory" that party, elect DEM
ocrat than Free Soil man, especially when they claim
to be in favor of the Free Soil principle and do not cons
cede the same to the democrats. We grant ii 10 be a
victory over the people, rasmuch as Kmbal received
go votes IRON the people than Osborne, and mas,
much too the district al The late election, gave
Van Buren, plurality of 800 votes over Cass.
