from Tue OHIO Statesman
The Utica OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Freaks.


The conventions of wings and abolitioniss that have
been in session in this city the past week, closed then
labors yesterday and very similar convention of wha
is euphoniously called "barnburners" and wings com
menced its session in Utica, New York, on yesterday
and closes to-day. Somebody that, no doubt thought
they about to produce great sensation among the
democrats of Ohio were ponip-veryn sending us the
despatch this. morning that Mr.. Van Buren, had beer
nominated for President and Gen. Dodge, of Wisconsin
for Vice President! Now, the facts OF the arr
these convention is to be hsld al Buffalo, the Cd
next August TO make these nominations; and the Utica
convention suppose have made their recommendations
to that convention
1t is also elegraphed that Mr. Van Buren, said in a lei
ter to Utica that he was opposed to both Taylor and Cass
This may all be true for aught we know and it may be
he may carry New York by combination of wings and
democrats, if he candidates. but the result will be, that
Ohio will 60 for Cass by a large majority.
The idea, however, which some wings express Uf the
singular anomaly of MIR. Van Buren, being a candidate
should happen that any number OF democrats of Ohio
would support him under such circumstances not only
ridiculous, but impossible. Ten-yes twenty-whigs
will support him where there will be democrat
The democrats of Ohio were devoted to Mr. Van Blu.
ren-none than the editor OF this paper but
how he could under any possible circumstances expect
from such devoted friends sacrifice of their integrity
their honor, and attachment to the great national democ
racy, to alter and sectional godso mInge with
supporters under such contingency is all tOyfolly in
the last extreme. The good old sound democracy OF
Ohio that has stood every shock from whatever quarter
with manly holiness that has for them glorious
name that never be furnished, is just firmly
united everyes and so and stronger than
before They beyond the reach of the dslrac-
tons and fires that tearing their old
mics into fragments, and who seeking after every
new faction to save them from total dissolution
Mr. Van Buren, may feel chagrned deeply chagrned
at the past, and differ points in the present
uoverses of the day; but that he will throw himself in
TO the OF his old bitter enemies, and aid them in
uamplng his old devoted friends in the DUST cannot
for moment believe until the last link is broken"
We do not believe, either, that the wings, who will
control the Buffalo convention, will trust him. We have
facts this subject that make believe SO, though
in this we may be mistaken.
But say to and all, who in the line of ex
pecants, that the american national democracy are moi
WertcdS, to break up INTO factions and fooc leaders
Instead Of old principles and social party attachments by
which these great principles are carried out We have
not met democrat since the Utica despatch but what i.
firm the hills, though some could shed tear freely
over the nfatuation of -; but let pass That this
Buffalo movement will more than ever unite the democ-
racy OF the north and south great national
ment, for the sake OF this glorious old Unon-the pion
eer In democratic govemensis most evident from the
expressions, ardent and feeling, from all around us.
That Gen. Taylor is deserted to his fate, common
opinion in this region and that Gen Cass will get an
accumulated vote IN consequence, is also very clear
IRON these same movements Ne one talks OF Taylor
carrying Ohio, and yet he will have friends enough who
will stick by him to defeat the motley gathering at Buffalo,
or come over to Cass and Butler
The slavery propaganda movement IN Charleston,
s. c. and the poessed free territory one at Utica, each
playing into each others hands, is too bold movement
to practise off before intelligent democrat.
