Fis-le.
The secret circular calling together the State commit
tee representing the sofs and barnburners Of which
gave notice in the HERALD of Tuesday had the effect Of
assembling half dozen Wednesday at lawyers office
in this city No would have suspected any attempt
at meeting and the fact would have been publicly
known had not the information been derived through
columns. Not single barnburner paper in the State
and not the abolition Post of your city, informed
their omnibus load Of readers that attempt to be
made to galvanze the barnburner faction, by tho
aid of Marcy and the administration Your statement
exposing the object Of calling their State convention
and selecting day earlier than that adopted by the
hards has undoubtedly frustrated them in their designs
Of early movement and forestaling their loving OPP
ponents in the selection Of candidate for Governor for
instead Of calling their convention in advance OF the
hunkers they have concluded to wait until pretty well
in the month of September. There is obstacle in
their path and they in possession of the widest
range within which designate their State candidates
For the particular edi6cation of President Pierce Is
proper inform him that resolutions introduced
by of the barnburner committee endorsing the Ne
braska bill and the administration for sustaining it,
They opposed most vehcmently by these free soil
aboonists The discussion was animated, and not al
together courteous Those holding Office desrous
of committing the barnburners in favor of the bill,
account of its being pet OF the President others OPP
posed it upon the old plea Of free soilism conending
that by advocating the obteaton Of the line 36 &c. the
whole fabric Of free soil falls to the ground After
sharp and severe contest majority concluded to lay
Nebraska the table that the better policy to
remain silent but allow report Of the debates to be
made public showing, beyond question that, though
President Pierce has lsvished Office and enolumens upon
the free sellers with all the in his power, still,
when called upon to endorse the only distinctive
OF his administration, they promptly refuse, and bay
resolution having this object in view under the table,
The conduct OF this State committee, in allowing the
hards 10 have their candidates in the field and before
the public two months the soonest is an important
fact, and goes very far show that their leaders
ready to abandon the President their free soil and soft
organization and scatter their votes as they may
individually desire-some FOR the wings Others
for the Maine lawites abolitionists, and still
others for the national democracy. They will
Marcy's weakness They plainly see that the hards,
upon the spur of the moment. at the last ele,
ton without consultation organization preparation,
could poll one hundred thousand votes, and before the
meeting Of Congress, and previous to policy of the
administration having been deveoped-that now,
twevemonh thereafter with that time for interchange
and organization and with the certainty Of the failure Of
Perces administration before the State and nation the
nationals have prospect Of doubling their vote OF last
year.
There is another fact which tends show the barn
burners upon the of political dissolution and that
is their organ in this city is in the market for pur-
chaser. The print which only a few months since
the medium through which Pierce, Marcy, Dix,
Wright Randall Newell WEIGH, and the remaining
host of sots and burners in the State prcpagated their
peculiar notions and ideas, which all along boosted of
its frmness and increasing strength should, soon
after losing the publication of the United States laws
and the state printing, be up for " Cowes and
ket, will be regarded as certain indication of the
breaking up of the Van Buren, dynasty in the State-and
that very speedily. The If not too rotten

nothing more if delivered to your type founders, Messrs
