New York and Florida not voting the first ballot.
General Cass nominated on the fourth balot-169;
New York not voting.
This is a most remarkable result. After debat.
ing the question between the two sections of the
democratic party in this State for several days.
the Convention arrived at no result, and were com.
PEELED to 60 into nomination withou, the vote of
New York. What effect this will have on the
mination is difficult to tell at this early stage of
the canvass. The Hunkers and the Barnburners
seem to have been both excluded If they can no.
inmate President at Baltimore without the vote
of New York, it is not certain that they can elect
one In the same way
The first question which forces itself on the mind
IN such conJuncture, is the new position into
which the Bamburners are thrown. We have no
reference to the Hunkers; undoubtedly they " l.
support the nomination Of General Cass but what
Will the Barnbuners do General Cass opposes

port such a candidate In this State Will the Barn.
burners give upal their principles and their organi-
for the sake of the spoils that may be brought
by the success Of the new candidate We think this
isvery doubtful If the leaders of this section OF the
party were TO make bargain and sell themselves to
the destiny of the Baltimore Convention, ii would
be very difficult to reconcile the rank and file
TO the new principles, or rather the hostile prin-
cip!es, which are presented in such a nominal
ton. General Cass himself is as good
candidate could have been nominated or seec-
ted from the list presented to the Convention. He
is about good, and true, and honorable a man
any of the others In point of popularity, posi-
ton, and general accomp llshments, he stands
superior TO Mr.. Polk, who was nominated and
selected but the circumstances of the country
and the popular feeling are very different now to
what they were four years ago.
There is another point of importance to be con-
sidered in this nomination. It's generally believed
in this State among the friends and supporters of ex
President Van Buren, that Gen. Cass and his friends
defeated his nomination four years ago. The
feeling of revenge is sweet among politicians
as 1t is among lovers, and it is not probable that
this feeling will be suppressed by the force of
the spoils The old supporters and adherents of
Mr.. Van Buren, will endeavor to prevent the
vote of this State being thrown for General Cass
Such feeling, combined with the position in which
the Barnbumers have been placed by the Conven-
tion, will contribute 10 increase the chance of
political revolution, at the next election in this
State As things now stand, II is highly probable
that General Cass POUNDS his hopes on being elect
ed without adding TO his list the vote of New York
We think from all appearances, that the vote of
New York will be inevocably lost to the democracy
but shall wait to what steps the Barnburners
will take in this unfortunate position of matters in
which they have been placed by the Convention
They must either assume a bold front, adopt new
course, and hoist their standard anew, or be dis
graced forever, as men of courage, capacity, and
independence. Now that the nomination of the
democracy is before the country, and their candl-
date is General Cass, we do not see how il is DOS
sible for the wing convention to put forward any
man but General Taylor. Politics are beginning
TO get interesting If the Barnbumers were now to
nominate General Taylor, they could take the wind
out OF the sails Of the wings, elect their candidate
under any circumstances, and abolish both of the
old parties. Have they the courage to do such
brave, noble, and daring deed
THE DEPARTURE OF THE IIERNAvN.-Thc depar-
ture OF thus steamer has been deferred until the 10th
Of June. During this interval her engines will be
thoroughly overhaued, and such parts as require
modification, and which could not well be reached
while she was at Southampton will be efec,uay
secured The Hermann made an excellent voyage
horaeward, and when il is remembered that she was
obliged TO work her engines al half the pressure
they were expected TO sustain il must be admitted
that we have good reason TO hope she will make
rapid voyage, and take very prominent place
among steamships for speed, as well as the rank
she now holds for the strength OF her hull and the
superiority OF her cabin accommodations.
