We rye indebted TO delegate to the conyen.

Cor the following statement OF the means used,
10 effect the nomination Of Martin Van Buren,.
W hat think the honest Abolilionis,s Of the dose
the Van Buren doctors have proposed for them:
In the commuce Of conferces, the Platform
was ieud BY B. F. Butler as Chairman on reso-
lulons. When the reading was done. instantly
the Chairman said. ii is moved aud seconded,
that tie resolutions be adopted; all you in favor,
sHv ayo-carfed, At this point, member,
who had from the reading tried to get recogn-
zsd, rose and sad; Mr.. Chairman. voted for
the resolutions, and now move 10 reconsider
the vote for the purpose of amendment. The
Chair declared him out Of order. Another mem
bor arose and cndeavored 10 be heard, declaring
that tha first member was in ordci, The Chair
man, Mr.. S. P. Chase. the grea. Liberty La.
Icr, nephew Of John Mclean, continued to
declare everything out of order, and immedi-
atey said, you in favor Of calling the roll will
sav ave carried. The clerk will call the
roll for an informal bao,--and it will bn un
dersood that in this vote there is nothing bind
ing upon any man." The roll was called and
the States voted, each one naming who Tor. In
This vote, Two oil the supposed most reliable
friends Of John P. Hale. viz; S. P. Chase and
Henry P. Stanton, voted Tor Van Bursn, while
some old Democrats, like Bolton, Of Cleveland,
voted for Hale. If Mr.. Hae's supposed con-
fdcntal friends, who were left 10 project him by
their presence in the committees, &c, had con-
linued true to him. he would have been nomna-
red-or had it been supposed that Chase and
Stanton were treacherous. they would have ne
yer been placed inlhe positions they were, where
their treachery could be powerfully effective in
defeating Ha!e's nomination. There is no
doubt now. that New York was packed by con-
sent Of Hale traitors, against him. with men
who came for that very purpose. Ii is known
that the Van Burcn men, Butler, &C., have for
six weeks totally refused to come in and abide
the decision The convenlion-lhat those pack
ed were from the city Of New York, members
of Jefferson League, organized within two
weeks, and which League, on or about the first
of August. voted down a resolution TO send del
egates TO the Buffalo convention instructed To a
bide its decision. Twenty-Five was Mr.. Van
Buren's majority, and more than that number
can be found packed intO districts they do no
| live in. This is the vote in committee:

and Cadwallader. Two votes, by yeas and
nays, had been taken, and Mr.. Adams had
voted. Justaslhe Clerk was about to again
read the resolution, Mr.. Adams wassseen, us
twas supposed, to faint in his seat. Dr..
Frlesim,nedia,ely rushed across the hall,
and; picking him up in his arms, ran with
himsup the main aisle and, carried him into
the rotundo, where there were more than
two otundredpersons. The House adjourn
ed forthwith. 1t was thought better to con-
vey him to the Speakers room. The five
or six doctors, members of the House, were
in attendance. Two other physicians. Of
the city, were sent for; and it was decided
that he, should be ,cupped. Mrs Adams
was Informed of what took place, and she
reachedthe side OF her husband in the soon
Icsts possible time. 1t is said Mr.. A. had.a
paraly,ic stroke. In less than an hour
from the casualty, his reason returned, and
the first desire expressed was to see his wife;
and in this he was gratifed.
MIR. Beaton, in the Senate, directly he
heard of wha, had happened, announced the
adjournment of.he House and in conside-
ration of the high standing of Mr.. Adams,
the gereraI respect in which he is held, mo.
we'd that the Senate adjourn and it adjourn
ed without dissentient voice.

Close of the Volume,

With this number closes the fourth volume
OF the Abbcville Banner, and we take the
occasion to return our thanks to those, who
have so literally patronscd US during the last
four years; and especially those who have
stood by us from the commencement of our
career to the present time. No pains has
been spared on our part TO merit that patro-
mage, and render the Banner interesting.
Many of those VIC once numbered upon our
list have been "gathered to their fathers"
others have gone to the far distant west"
and some few, gallant spirits have offered
up their lives precious sacrifice to their
country, and sleep in the valley of Mexico;
it shall ever be our delight to cherish their
memories.
Though we haze lost friends, and some
have ceased to lend US a helping hand, yet
we are proud to say, the Banner is still
read in every section and corner of The Dis
trict, and greeted by many a friendin distant
lands. With a consciousness Of this fact,
we~shall still exert ourselves to render the
paper what it should be, q journal OF useful
intelligence
Many of the Post Masters in the district
have laid us under obligation for their ef-
forts 10 circulate our paper; we trust that
one and all of them; will continue their sup
port, for we know that they can render Us
important service which shall not 90 un-
rewarded.
