detail--have been made here, and also abroad,

NEW YoRK PoLIrIcs The New York Heral,
Of Monday, the LIST, contains an address to tn
democrats Of the State of New York, said to b
the result Of a conference between the leadin
men Of the rival factions of barnburners and hun
kers. The present state of the two organization
is this: Each has called State convention--on
to be held on the 5th and the other on the 18th O
September next--the former at Syracuse, the othe
at Utica. Each claims to be the regular party, &C
eording to the New York system of party associa
ton. 1t is unlikely they can agree upon one ticket
until the question of regularity is settled. Tn
proposition is now to call third, advisory conven
ton, to meet at Syracuse on the 18th of August
and that each branch of the party shall elect
single representative from each Assembly distrc
in the Stale, so that there will be in fact a doubl
convention of equal numbers of barnbumers AM
hunkers, to try and agree upon plan of union b
be proposed to the other conventions. The basi
Of the union, in regard to the question Of slavery
is, that its extension is to be opposed, but that il
existence is not to be interfered with wherever j
is now lawfully within the United States.
The correspondent of the Washington Union
from New York, affirms that the Cass democracy
the old hunkers," will not consent to any othe
hou0 VI HShiA& Tue sidNb qu6stou Ludil that o
non-interfereuce on the part Of Congress.
This is the most earnest.looking purpose 70
union yet offered in New York, and if it shoul,
succeed, the dominant party viii have to go tt
work with will, to maintain their position.
