sorted to upon the occasion
We have design to interfere as to the mode in which
the Utica democratic boilers and the Buffalo wing boilers
may choose to transact their business in their somewhat
strange attempt TO make cause together But if
we understand the programme of action in the Buffalo
Convention which the Post sketches out for the New
York (Utca) delegates to that body, it us,
confess, quite fashion of going into convention.
| 1t is convention held to make nomination The
Utica to take their seats and give their votes in
IT. Just if they meant to show fair play to the end and
to give their cordial support TO the candidate whom
the convention may nominate. But il anybody save
Mr.. Van Buren, be nominated, the Utica to
take up their hats, walk off in huff and stick 10 their
own man, all the if they had never thought of
taking any part in the convention Such conduct the
part of the Utica men, the Post calls slken phrase
giving it TO be understood that they do not in
the proceeding" We apprehend that the Buffalo Con-
ven'ion will more justly call such action of any men who
take seats in it, by shorter and sharper name Plain
delegates, not graduated al Herkme will probably ask
whether the New York Buffalo are to uote for a
nominee OF that convention and, if so, whether they
are to be bound as the rest by the result of the

We are in the counsels of the Buffalo Convention

The BUFFALO CoNvENrIoy.-The Buffalo Convention of
the friends OF free soil will assemble Tuesday So
great the number delegates who have been depued
attend and with little regard to proportion have they
been elecedso places sending of representa-
tves others small number and different political par
ties the place sending their separate delegatesthat
it will probably be found impossible to reduce it TO the
shape of regular convention in which the several parts
of the country shall be represented according their popu
laton 1t will rather resolve itself into meeting,
if the name is better liked, convention
The proceedings of the convention will consist of the
nomination of candidates for the presidency and pres
dency, and emphatic declaration of opinion the
slavery question: in the form resolutions, and perhaps,
Also the shape of an address to the people OF the United
States. According present appearances, should
Judge that the convention will nominate Mr. Van Buren,
for the presidency Who will receive the nomination
of Vice President, say If, however, the
vention should agree upon Mr.. Van Buren,, and
other should be laid by it before the country,
will be for the democratic delegates from this State to
consider how they give to be understood that they do
not concur IN the proceeding we say uemOcrauc
delegates from this State for is only these which will be
all embarrassed by any possible result of the convention
The democrats OF New York have already acted in this
matter they have held their convention, and nominated
their candidate him early period, before
this had extended other State that cand
date given them understand that he allows this
name and the great of the democratic party
have thought other than give him their sup
port.
In deputing any of their eow-czens attend the Buff
Convention they have not authorized them undo the
work of the Utica Convention They might concur in the
nomination of Vice President, aud in the expression
opinion concerning the extension of savery but they would
have aside the candidate agreed upon
Utica, any than they have revoke the decla ration
of prnci Piles made there
The convention, we freely admit, is under obligation
to nominate Mr.. Van Buren, but discussing
that point. The convention probably may nominate a
candidate who would be acceptable of the
States in which the free soil party likely have
iorty. But they cannot coaidem, nominate any
other candidate who would carry the State of New York
ANY which delegates might give the substtu
ton any other candidate would My dissatsy the peo
pie whom they represent, without carrying them to his
support
1t will be for the convention consider whether it is
worth while candidate for whom the pow
erfu of the State of New York, where the soil
first took form and consistency, where it has
its complete organzaon and where finds its most
numerous champions cannot be obtained
We make these remarks perfect respect to the conven

subject exceptso far New York concerned i'll any

in the spirit i'm which they written
There will be a grand democratic mass meeting this
