rHr sorr CONVENTION.

At the last accounts from Syracuse, the
Soft Convention were having decidedly
hard time. The stereoyped resolutions
usual on such occasions were passed with
GU, any difficulty, but on the fifth one, for
endorsing and approving the Administra-
ton. the Convention stuck. John Van Blu
rem thought the Democrats had enough 70
do 70 take care Of the New York issues. and
moved that all resolutions referring TO the
Administration. Kansas and slavery, be laid
on the table. This proposition. however,
by no means pleased the majority Of the
BODY, aud in The course Of the animated dis
cussion which followed, Gen. Nye made

That slavery always creeps into State IN
its weakness and cannot be elected in its
power. Why has Atchison left his seat in

has become SO important that we cannot
