The BALTIMORE CoNvESrIos.-The Baltimore Convention

o. Butler) now in command of our army in Mexico
After structures the the convention on the
New York case, the Democrat-which has aken and still
ma ntans the Utica side of the queson-continues: 4
But the convention has passed its nominations have
been made; and its doings cannot be recalled. We
have deemed duty give far in regard
to the pursued by the convention We could have
said more-we could not well have said less.
We do coincide with those who attempt to decrv
General Cass the ground that he man of talent
and capabIlity. We consider him eminent abi
ty and intelligent Individual will venture TO deny that
he has done the country much service in many va
positions in which he has been placed As to General
Butler, we have not heard word in opposition his cleo

almost universal sentiment, and bow the will of the
majority.
We therefore, having had our say and given our
honest opinions in regard the proceedings of the Bati
convention, unr banner the breeze inscribed
with the names of CAss and BUTLER.
In the spirit the Cattaraugus Republican, hav
ing up the flag of Cass and Butler to its mast head,
and spoken in fitting terms OF their character and claims
upon the support of the people, proceeds as follows:
The approaching election is most important one. When
take into consideration that engaged in with
foreign enemy an honorable peace to be obtained and
Territorial governments be established it is appa-
every rejecting mind that the election of demo
cratic administration IS of the most vital importance
friend of liberal principles If throw the power of the
general government into the hands of ancient enemy
the very when this territory is to be formed into
communities for admission into the family of States, with
Territorial officers appointed by the national government
