VAN buren, AND THE BUFFALO CONVENTION

IAN DURkN AND ldk OUEkALO NONNENIlONs
1t is very seriously doubted by those who
ought to be we'll informed on the subject,
whether Martin Van Buren, will accept the
nomination of the Buffalo Convention. The
Convention put forth some doctrines so ultra,
that it was thought in Washington, that
Matty'' couldn't 20 them. We have it from
good authority that Mr.. Senator Dix has de-
clared that he Zone of the leaders of the barn
burners IN New York; cannot give his sup.
port TO the principles put forth at Buffalo, on
the 9th inst. AT any rate, whether Van Blu.
rem accepts or not, the whig party North are
far more in danger of suffering from this "free
soil" move than the democrats are. This il

been appointed, by and with the advice and

ceedlngs, or rather the debates, in that body

FRANCE AND THE UNITED SrATEs.-We
cannot think that the following will be unin-
teresting to the readers of our paper. France
and the United States have been on terms of
friendship ever since we struck the first blow
for liberty, and this renewed evidence of the
continuance of friendly feelings between the
two great Republics of the world, must be
gratifying to every right thinking man:
The following messages were received from
the President of the United States on Tuesday
the 9Th inst:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8, 1S4S.
To the Senate and House of
Representatives Of the United States:
1t affords me satisfaction TO communicate
herewith, for the information of Congress,
copies of decree adopted by the National
Assembly of France, in response 10 the reso-
luton of the Congress of the United States,
passed on the 9Th April last, rendering the
congratulations of the American to the French
people, upon the success of their recent efforts
TO consolidate the principles of liberty in re-
