NEW YORK Union CONVENTION.


State. VIM L. Marcy was President of the
! Cass wing, and - Taylor of the Free Demo
| cratic side. Committees of conference had been
appointed, and were cut at our latest daes. We
had from the start but little confidence that this
Convention would accomplish any thing, and we
have less now Cass' recent declaration, that
the position he and his fri3als hoII on the
! question OF the Proviso can never be surrender
ed. was designed for the benefit Of his friends at
this Convention, and we have no doubt they will
adhere to it. They do not desire union Cass
has yet hopes of the Presidency which
are based almost entirely on the South. lie de-
aires to keep himself and friends free from any
contact or connection with the Free Democracy.
which would weaken his chances there, and he
will do it. Ii the Cass democracy in the
several northern States can be kept intact, NOM
nation at another Baltimore Convention for Ca%s
will be got easier than it was It the late one, and
with the South united the chance Of success
would be BY no means desperate. This we arc
confident is the game and the leading Cass poll
over the country. To be sure, superficial OBJ
server would conclude at once, that where there
is, as in this State, such an apparent unanmity
of sentiment in favor of the Provso, nothing CT
, this character can be effective; but it must b.
recollectcd that there was this same apparent
unaninitv on the subject last fall when the vote
of this State was cast for Cass. 1t is upon the
subservicncy of politicians and presses that the
calculations are based The politicians and
press of this State have already swallowed their
own words and pledges on the plec of ''r2guar-
ity, and announced their willingness to go
wherever the Cass men will lead. They will
probably do the same two or three years hence;
and where thenis the security that these designs
| in the firrnass of the people. Let them repudi-
ate at once these men, and their capacity for ms
chief will be cut off at once and forever:
