On the 9th the New York Demo-
Gratis hold their state convention at
Buffalo. Tammany is preparing to
make an onslaught upon the body,
and capture it if possible. 1t is our
opinion that it would be wiser to hold
Tammany at a distance than to allow
it to capture the convention. The rep
resentation of Tammany, it is said,
will be one thousand strong, ready for
any emergency, bold enough to at
tempt to enforce any character of
proposition,
