RF.VNor.D", Sccv. .Hr. Van Wurcu' JLetter. We pti'u'.isii the It tu rof Mr. M. Van Puren to tiieN. York delejj;uioti, called Rarnburner.-s which was read at the recent Utica t-:iventi -n. Its principal points are as fid lows : Ist. the c ur?e of the Burnburners at the National Convention ; 'Jd. as to the question, whether Mr. V. P. would accept a nomination as an independent candidate; and J'.dly, the question of the extension of Uie area id shivery, and the const tutiunal power of Cunre-s ov r that uhject. ?.Ir. V. L. approves the course of the Barnburner' at the Baltimore a -nventien, awl if their action sinct. Vp think that .Mr. V. ji. errs in some important par-ticul.-iM tuuchiniT thi- point. lie seems lo think that the lhrnhtirners wr- unjustly excluded from the Convention, on the ground of a difference of prin'ipie. This we do not conceive to have been the fact. It is true, that, after the report of the committee on credentials was undo, their decision in favor of the Hunkers was go evidently in conflict with justice and propriety, that Mr. Yancey declared for himself and hia friends, that although he should vote in favor of the report and resolution, he should not do so upon the merits of ihe credentials of the contesting delejjatioi:s, Cut upn the difference of opinion exist. nj between tloe delegations on the Mtbject of the extension of slavery, and that he hould mj decide because he had undergo. -d that the Barnburners desired the decision of thu ( iiv-:t ion .-hould be made upon that ground. But Mr. Pn n King, in behalf of the Barnburner-, and at ...eir solicitation, immediately nn.M? from hi .-eat and corrected Mr. Yancey. 3Ir. Kn " emphatically disclaimed any such desire on the part of himself and his colleagues; and as positively aflirrned that they wished their claim to seats to be decided o!ely upon the strength of their credentials. The vole of the Convention, laying the report of the committee in favor of the Hunkers upon the table, nnd adopting the resolution offered &3 a substitute, clearly proves that the Convention decided merely as to a t ntia's ; and as the credentials of either delegation, in the absence of the other, would not have been questioned in any respect, the conflict between them involving only the question of regularity in local organization, the Convention could not have acted otherwise titan it did with any degree of propriety. No peculiar rule or mode of organization has been prencibed by any National Convention; and until this hall be done, no peculiar mode of appointing delegates can be required to substantiate a c aim to Feats in the National Convention. Before concluding h.s di.-ctiSMon of i!.i- point, Mr. Y. B. virtually adm.Nthe in-u&cieney of the action of the Convention in proof of the. portion assumed, by appealing to the Nicholson letter of Gen. Cass to sustain it. It seems to u that thi is " travelling out of the record. Gen. Cass's opnnuis, as epres d in that letter, no dubt conflict with the views of the Barnburners; but we do not understand the Convention to have expressed itself cither in favor of or opposed to its doctrine. The re fusal of the Convention to concur in the report of the committee on credentials in favor of the Hunkers, was in fact a real triurnpii fur the Barnburners, and a condemnation of that committee's attempt to impose a t"st before proceed. ng to examine the claims of the contesting delegations. It is also true, that in discussing their title to ;eat3 before the Convention, the Barnburners avowed themselves hostile to the further extension of slavery in free territory, while the Hunkers expressed a w illingness to concur with the notions of southern men on that subject. How many or ho.v few were influenced bv these avowals, to vote fur either of the contestants, it would of course be impossible for any one to say. No act of the Convention can decide that question. In fine, if the Convention committed error in this matter, it was a generous one, growing out of a desire to heal the ditlicuhy .n New York, as well ad to avoid involving the a hole; country in the quarrel which distracted our friei.ds in that Slate. Mr. V. B., aa we understand him, positively declines being a candidate before the Utica Convention ; hut as he agrees with th. m in sentiment and approves of the course they have seen proper to pursue, he may he prevailed upon to accept a nomination. We think this not improbable. But should he accept a nomination, we thii k there are insuperable reasons against his receiving the support cf Democrats. We do not s"e sutlicient cause to induce us to dissever our connection with the existing National Democratic organization. The notions of men may be extreme or rr.. f.,,iü Thrt! h v are so on the subject of slavery, in. re can no Uoii.n. I IV hok to the wisdom and the restraints of party organization, (as well as the wisdom of Cngres,) to correct such notions. We d Hoi yet f. 1 satisfied that the Old Organization of ke Democratic party a incompetent to thh great

cud. We arc more doubtful as to the fidelity of Southern men to that organization, and to the compromises necessarily attached t it. As to the question of the power of Congress over slavery in the territories, which is the most important topic in Mr. Van Buren's letter, we do not ste any necessity of making it a present issue. We are content to try the fidelity of the South, to the Baltimore platform, once more. Gen. Cass has pledged himself in the most positive terms to adhere lo the declaration of principles there made; and if his Nicholson letter either falls short oi goes beyond the resolutions of the Convention, those resolutions and his pledge, must over-rule it. The feeling prevails extensively among the people here, that the South has been, for years, recreant to nil the obligations of party obligation and party faith ; and that, with o majority of Southern politicians, slavery has not only been a question paramount to all party tics, but that they have made use of the more mercenary class of northern politicians to sustain,

perpetuate and increase the dominion of slavery, as

much or more with a view to political power, as with ;by shouts of Vive VEmpereur! Lumrtine sat down overrejrard to any other interest involved in the "peculiar ! whelmed, when one of the National Guods shot at him,

institution.' The position now and heretofore maintained by the Democratic party is all that we can maintain in the free States, and all that we should be asked to do. The South, however, or her leaders, have for some lime shown symptoms of dissatisfaction, and have proposed new tests. For ourselves, we shall not submit to them. We shall maintain our old ground until forced from it by the course of the South. When the South shall show, as she will do bv her votes fur the ne.t President, whether she really intends to put up the Presidency at auction for her own exclusive benefit, and to betray, when she can no longer wheedle or drive the democracy of the free States, we shall find no difficulty in deciding upon our own course ; and we have no doubt aa to what will be the course of our people. Let us have one more trial, and then we can determine. Look Out. It does not seem to be understood by persons gen erally that there is an ordinance of the city Council J against driving upon and across the gravelled side walks of our city recently made at much expense.

The Hat must he awarded either to the SonnU s. . w Republican, or the Indiana Journal. What Indianian will hesitate to decide in favor of the well-known, zealous, and unscrupulous exertionsj of the Journal editor in behalf of whiggery ?

The Roston Tost says that Harimsox Gkat Oris, the only surviving rnernlier of the Hartford convention, sinned trie whig call for a public meeting to ratify the nominations of Taylor and Fillmore. He is true to his early principles. The New Orleans Delta say : "As far as our observation extends, there was never a greater degree ot zeal among the democrats than that displayed since the nominations of Cass and Ruller.

Having been defeated during a highly excited, und as the result has show n , an unsound state of the public mind, for adhering tu a financial policy, which 1 believed to b.s light, the deiiu.ciatic masses everywhere, as Boon as it became evident that the country had recovered from tho d lesion- of the day, resolved, with extraordinary uiianimily, that the policy which had been so successfully decried, should he vindicated, and the justice of ihe. people illustrated by uiy re-election. This decision id' the massed was reversed by their representatives in the convention. More than compensated for any mortification which my discomfiture, in lilO had occasioned, by these expressions of onfidence and regard, proceeding directly from the people themselves, nnd anxious above all things fr the success of the measures for which I had been so unsparingly arraigned, 1 forebore to scan cither the motive by winch uiy opponents in the convention of '44 wi re actuated, or the means they resorted to for the accomplishment of their ubject, and united with zeal and alacrity in support id the democratic candidate. But whilst thus in good faith discharging what I regirded to he my duly, it did not fiil to occur to me that the circumstances by which I was surrounded, presented the occasion I had long desired, when 1 could retire from j public life, consistently with what was due to tin: country, to my friend and to my o.vn self-respect. I embraced it witli my whole heart. Trorn that day to the present, my mind has not for a moment wavered in icgard to the dotermtnaiion then announced. At an early period in the present canvass, and before the democratic m ud could b. regarded having taken anything like a disliiu l direction iu reference to its candidate, I reaffirmed my resolution in this regard in a letter to a worth) citizen of I'ensy I v.mia w hich has been extensively published, and in many others with which it vas not deemed necessary to trouble the public. A friendly application from our delegales to the. hist .National Convention, for authority to use my name as a candidate if they could do so nmkr proper circumstances, made it as you appear to bo informed , my unpleasant duly tu refuse my consent t tloir doing m under any circumstances whatever. Having thus assumed arid so long occupied tins po-i.i- ii, 1 tn:-t to your friendship and past indulgence to be excused for repej.ting my unchaiisieable determination. never again to j be a candidate or public ofliee.

Were I to advise them or ihosu whom they represented to any steps which would indicate, the slightest insensibility on their part lo the degrading distinction that was applied to theui,! ii uld, in my best judgment, be counselling them to an act ':f political dishonor, by which they would juslly forfeit Ihe respect of all upright minds.

Most eineerelv do I wish that I could think so. Jlut is that impossible"? That the difference between the two "dt legations was irreconcilable, was apparent to that hotly, nor was there room for a moment's doubt that at hat one of the delegations would not attempt to represent the state, unless llieir right to do no exclusively was examined and decided by the convention, and it had not yet become too lat j for the convention to do its duty in Ilm maller, when it appeared that the resolution not to lakw their seats was common to both delegations. There was then 110 other way in which the tlillii ulty could be properly disponed of, lli'mi by examining into and deciding upon the conflicting claims before them. The unavoidable result f failing to do so, w ns lo cause the proceedings of the convention to he regarded a without authority in New York. Tho expedient of udmitting both delegations might do well enough in n case where the diiL'tonco between them was not one of principle, and where both parlies finally assented to the arrangement, hut was wholly inapplicable tu tin? one under consideration.

It is piup .sfd to give this docuinc the most solemn sanction known to our political system, by the election of its dcclaied advocate and suppor er to the P.csidcncy. If it leceive the pit p . sed sanction of ihe people ef the United States, the lesult cannot be doubtful. The policy in icaid to the extension of slaveiy to the teintoiies of tlie United Stat. s into which it has iUil yet been introduced, whnh has existed since the commencement of the government and the consequences uf which have been so salutaiy, must cease, and evei y act of Congiess destined to cany it into effect be defeated by the vci .l the Kx-cuttve.
