hitherto preferred the Utica organization are leaving Mr.
Van Buren, since his Buffalo nomination by thousands
He will get the vote of the abolitonists in that State
and to this will be added the of those aboltonising
wings who for the slavery element in the
organization OF the wing party at the North than for any
other part of the wing creed specimen Of the present
feeling of this section of the New York wings towards
Mr. Van Buren, may be seen in the following letter from

Mr. John Van Buren, has far overcome his scruples of
delicacy % the subject as to take the stump for the
Buffalo nominee after having openly declared that that
nomination would make it impossible for him thereafter
to do But his oatory seems to be losing its
charm and its power to call together crowd The last
New York Herald presents him the orator OF ward
