New York Politics.
FOR the last fifty years the politics Of the
great state of New York have been myste-
ry to the other states ofthe Union. 1t could
not be comprehendedhow people SO numor-
GUS and intelligent could have been mixed
up IN IN so SO many intrgucs and could have chain
cd themselves so devotedly TO the cars of
various leaders, each having personal and
ambitious objects in view. Whatever the
causes may have been they exist no longer,
the recent conventions at Rome in that state,
nave broke the charm and tho people have
cast off the leadership of Van Duren and are
no longer abjcct followers. This remarka-
bic politician, having found the freesoil doc
trne worked more for The benefit of the
Wings than himself, and that his prospects
and those of his followers were daily declin-
ing wrote n letter to the Barnburners recon-
mending Union with their former brethren,
the Democrats, whic!, they, (the Barnburn-
ers) positively refused unless the frcesol
principles were, recognised Consequently
the two conventions adjourned without unit
ing, the Democrats firmly refusing that mis-
cheyous and unprincipled doctrine. This is
tho first time in many years Van Buren's
supporters have refused to surrender point
at his bidding. He made every question a
party one and gave it up when 1t answered
his personal objects. His friends have now
fastened him down to the car the abolition
lists, at the tail of which his friend Col. Ben
ton has already harncsscd himself, so that
these worthless and their followers are DOOM
cd to sink with their new experimental doc
trine, not hving the liberty to surrender it
when convinced Of its wor,hlcssness.
