NV DTAR SiR--Ai the Buffalo Convention
IN itts, new Vurty WIS formed, styled ny
some tie Free Soil pnry, aud 10y otliers tho
Free Democracy. THIS pnuy was eompos-
ed Of secedcrs from tho Two NATIONAL parties,
aud embraced almost the whole Of the old
Liberty party. The Wing aud Democrats
issues were discarded m too unimpornni 10
divide The friends Of human freedom. Ac-
eofdingly, MIR Van Buren,, seeding demo
rrnt, wnH nominated w. opposiiiOn 10 Mr.
Case The democratic candidate, und Mr. Adj
mus -ceedins Wing, Ia opposition tn MIR

mated hy them.
| Recently, The Democratic secedcrs 10 New
York Who Ind joined the Free soil pnry,
have Ioluted INTO the hos
-Ouf of the old National pro.slnyery Demo
cratic party aud while protesting individual
hostility 10 slavery, declare that such hostile
" will MOI be made 10y them a party fesi.-'
They hive accordingly consented 10 support
candidates brought totMnrd by men WHO ut-
tcrly repudnie ihe-ltrec soil creed. Hence
these New York Democratic Free Sellers ARE
fpw bound ly all the ties which their own
iprofcssjnuS ruH turFr, to support CnsH er
Calhoun nj ihe next Presidential election,
should either be tie regular Democratic cnI-
didaIc. The uyowcd object of tic ,luic union,

The Presidency, his Standardization, so far as dc.
