which report was unanimously agreed to.Mr. Davis, irom the committee on reso-

cracy of the state of New York, we feel itour duty—ns it is our pride—lo moke, onhis occasion, an open and unqualified ex-pression of oar concurrence ifr^he"j£reatind general principles of Ameti^^temoc-

racy—that wexherisb an- *¥iimg nnd in-creasing confidence in man's capacity 10govern for himself in his individual, socialind political relations—that we trace allrightful and legitimate power to the peo-ple, as the only true source from whence itcan come, and for whose common and e-qua I welfare iv can only be wisely createdor justly employed; that we believe theconstitution of the United States created aimited and restricted government whose

action ought to be confined to the clearlyenumerated functions it was intended tofulfil, and rigidly restricted from the DS-umption ofnngranted powers and the con-

structive expansion to voluntary and unne-cessary purposes of such powers as it is ad-mitted to possess; tbat we think that gov-ernment best administered, when it leastconflicts with the efficiency andinflaenceof the state authorities, and least interfereswith the pursuits of the people, leavinghem free to act, and untared, untrammel-ed-and uncontrolled, except£Q far. as may

be required for a strict public economy, thepreservation of peace and order at home,and our national independence and securi-ty abroad.

measures and democratic men since the e-ection of 1840, when Federalism sweptiver the land nnd seemed but too likely tofasten upon ns.and our posterity the calam-ties of debt and taxation, of monied power

and artificial restrictions, and that longtrain of evils which has ever flowed andwilt flow from any system of governmentwhich is administered by a, party whichbelieves that the government is wiser orhigher or-better than the people, or that itcan have other or higher interests than thepeople, or that any class or portion of thepeople are to be benefiited by its action andlegislation in preference to others of thewhole.

Qliflncnte in all its constitutional'** been the unchanged creedTOr_ practice of the democratjc% believe that it would violate| . and change thai T ^ J c e , to

„..Agates by districts while'theelec»tors aw Shosen by general ticket. Wethink: tMlielegates to nominate otight toill appoirfgd by the same rule and" in thesome vt<>Ktt9*areappointed the electors toelect a pesident. The president is nowchosen-%y;»general ticltst in each slate, andench ekctOr votes for the whole electoralticket, mid the state gives her entire vote inthe etecto.ir.&l' college for one man. In thisstate weijied tfie choice of electors by dis-tricts, but after the first experiment, and itwas seen'that the state lost oil or much ofits influence, it was abandoned by comrtfonconsent, and the general ticket system a-doptcd W its stead. The nominating con-vention isorganized to enable the people toexercise fjieir constitutional power in thechoice of president, and all principle^andconsistency seem to indicate that he shouldbe nominated aa he is elected, by generalticket—e'ffch state voting by itself and for it-self, and with an undivided vote in both in-stances.- 4 Again, it is important to thede-mocrnc'^bf the Union, that the democracyof each state should be kept in the ascen-dant, nnctin union and harmony in itself,nd it ijfperhaps undeniable that no party

can be Ibmg permanent and paramount inthe Un?ofi1|Bn1ess it has the support o(some ot"-att«f the larger slates. The pre-sidenlial'qifeslibn is the great exciting top-ic of the country, nnd must beso continu-ally-. The smaller states, by size, num-bers, identity of interest, and frequency of'intercourse, -will generally be united in thechoice or preference of candidates, andwould usually choose the same delegatesby districts as by general ticket. But it isnot so with the larger states, which thedistrict system would throw into, collisions-and'dissent ions, that would unsettle and dis-.ract any party within them. We do not be-lieve that the democratic party could longmaintain itself in any of the larger statesunder tbe district system, if the federal par-ty in that state adopted the general ticketWe are aware that a remarkable unanimi-ty pervades the democracy of this state atthis time in reference to the choice of Mr.Van Buren as our candidate; and \ve be-

ieve, that if the choice were to be made bydistricts, that not one district in the state-would send a delegate for any other man.But this may never occur again ; and thatunanimity renders this the more suitableoccasion to settle the question in the state.Still more objectionable does the districtsystem appear to us, from the probabilitytbat many of lhapstates can never be indu-ced to adopt^pind they will have, fromthat cause,_o!rT undue advantage over theothers injj5vory convention. Nor do wesee why rnnjoajjKfe taken by states are notas well taken ^ » y districts. It is as oftenthe correctfteHllj nnd the only "mode knownn the eleaioiyof President by the people

or the sttps. That not the smallest ob-jection tyflie district system would jsjr.isefrom the impracticability of a Hfftkrrfiri con-vention's -tntelligently, or satisfactorily, orseasonably settling the questions of contes-ted nnd double delegations, which that sys-tem would, produ'&e and encourage. Andsuch areSfciBieof our reasons for preferringto ndhere-to the general and united ticketsystem, fcjt each state; ns most convenient,fair, Sjuitsble, harmonious, constitutional,and -tte~m.ocr1it!c

Resolved, That this convention, while1 npprobates the action taken by the dem-

ocratic members of the legislature in tbecaucus held.by them in Albany in Aprillast, as to the time and place of holdingthe Democratic National Convention, andas to'trie wish of.tbe democracy1 of New-York io have MARTIN V A N BDREN nom-inoted by it—do at this lime and in view ofthat, concession and conciliation which be-long to all association, express our entireand veiling concurrence to have that Na-tional convention held at Baltimore, on the4th Monday in May next, nnd in behalf oftbe Itepaocracy df New-York we do np-point the 36 delegates for this state to at-tend the same, and we do not hesitate toengage the support and fidelity of the dem-ocratic party in this state to the nomina-tions Wnicb that convention shall make:most •Confidently assuring our politicalbreih|lr} in other slates, that the republi-

-York looft to that convention

ple» in every form and under every name.We are opposed to a National Bank—to aiarjjeturray or navy—to a prohibition sys>tern of duties-4o the assumption of statedebts—totbe distribution of the land mon-eys—and to an extravagant and costly ad-ministration of the government—while we

rove^snd^jll, support an economicaland .retrenching system of expense—a mo-derate and reduced naval and military es-tablishment in peace—a divorce of the mo-ney power from political power—an inde-pendent treasury—a tariff founded on reve-nue principles and wisely discriminatingfor" the encouragement of "labor in agricul-ture, commerce and manufactures—and apolicy, of government' fostering state author-ities, internal peace and trauquility, and in-dependence of all foreign influence andcontrol. ; , .

Retohed, That this convention haveduly deliberated on: the question of theproper and best method of appointing thedelegates from each state to a nntionnlnominating invention,, and the numberthat each state should be entitled to, and wenownnnounce it as the conclusion- to* whichwe have arrived, with almost general unan-imity, that we believe it most conformableto the principle* of the constitution, nndmolt consistent with the soundest doctrinesof the democratic party, that etch stateshould be entitled to s?fid so rnnny delegatesm iha r nnvptitinn j i u i t Jwf. _oi_el_ectortlTotes—that each slate ought to appoint itsdelegate* in such way and manner as itshjill think proper, and that for other statesiflr'weH atthe stateof Now York, we thinkthe proper way and manner it to appointhem; not by districts, but by • generaticket, mi by B state convention assembledas wo are, or in stich manner ag the demo-cracy may choose ix> organize their etat*conventions. And we offer to our constit-urnts and the country, these as some of thmain consideration^ for the conclusion wehave announced: The democratic part'owes its existence and success to that jeal-ous and just fear of the consolidating ten-dencies of federalism which in the admintatration of the elder Adams roused tb« re-publicans of that pure period, and has everI face maintained the perpetual controversy#spsrtie> astethefcSnittllii^Big «r «onjf^

Resolved, That having expressed ouripprobation of the holding a national con-vention, appointed ourdelfcgate a^-the, same.,-»nd thereby assumed the bmig$)Siono!f fiftel-ity, and support to the candidate of its nom-ination, we would, in the name and behalfjf the unanimous democracy "of the State of[Slew-York, iffeommend our fellow-ciiissenMARTIN VAN BUREN to the consid-eration of that convention. He is our first:hoice For President, and has been made so,tot less by his long and tried and-approvedervices in public life,' and. his admittedlualifications, than by the manner of thatlefetrt which he suffered in the overthrowjfour parly in 184Qi That was our de-feat, as a party, and not life failureasa can-didate; and we believe that his conttuclTnthat memorable delusion, the elevated firm-iess which he evinced- in the hour of trial,ind his calm, unclouded confidencein theiltimate rectitude of the people as he reti-•cd from office, have gained for him a h»gh-;r place in the popular estimation of the

country than any success could have done.We know that he is now- more popular inhis native slnle thnn he ever wns before,md we think that the same causes mustinvo operated in other states, for the -samecsult. That to us there seems a clear andipen conviction, that if the democracy ofhe Union do but do their duty in 1844,he'v will gain n glorious victory, and weTecf that that victory will be to every dem-scrat in the country," a double triumph, ifthe same cause and the same candidatewhich weTeputtlown in 1840, by delusionnnd imposture, should by "the sober sec-md thought" of an intelligent and patrioticpeople, be made triumphant in 1844.

"Resolved, That we do hereby direct andinstruct tbe delegates whom we appoint tohe national democratic convention, to pre-sent "MARTIN VAN BUREN of New-York, as a candidate for nomination forthe Presidency,of th,e'United States by.that•onvention; and we further do direct andinstruct the said delegates, individually andjniledly, to advocate and support his nom-ination, and to use oil honorable and prop-3T means to accomplish that result, and thuso fulfil their duty to, and tbe wishes ofheir constituents—the democracy of NewYork.

Resolved, That the debt-paying policy•stablished by the democratic legislature of1842, and confirmed by that of 1843, wasis clearly demanded by the condition ofhe finances of the state and the wishes ofhe people, as it was plainly required byhe principles of public integrity and pru-ience; that the restored faith and improved'nlue which it has brought to our state se-unties, fully vindicate tbe measure, andtave won for the democracy of New-Yorkn enviable distinction in the Union; thathe conduct of this state on that occasionivas largely instrumental in recoveringinbtic confidence in stato efficiency andbility lo accomplish its necessary and pro-

per works, and arresting that tendency ofthe puttie" mtn3 , which wai then, bul toodangerously apparent, to look to the gene-ral government for the means to pay forthem, if not for the power to make them.

Resolved, That while the democracy ofhis state regard a state debt as a state evil,

and will oppose all measures calculated ei-ther to increase the present debtor toarrestits gradual reduction—and are opposed toill improvident and unnecessary publicmprov^menls—they are not and neverbave been hostile to those public workswhich are of such general and extendedcharacter in their utility and importance aso need the means of the state for tbeir cre-ation and management, and which can beeffected without imposing burdens "on thepeople; and that the experience of thisstate has fully demonstrated that the stateought not to .have any subordinate infla-:nce or secondary interest in works ownedtnd controlled by others; that the publicred it cannot be safely used 16 or for any

purpose but the public necessities, andought not to be loaned to companies or in-dividuals, or incorporations of any kind ;and that the maintenance and extension ofur system of slate improvements can only

be successfully effected by strictly limitingthem to.the means of the state.

Resolved, That tbe democratic partyrepose full confidence in the capacity, in-

Resolvti, That as-(o the mode of actionwhich that convention shall adopt, we be-liewgjthat that mailer can be safely andmost wisely loft to the convention itself todetermine—inasmuch as the delegates to it,will bf selected in each state with referenceto the sentiments and preferences of thestnle, ds to its choice of candidates and gen-era) management of such proceedings.: thatwhile ^tat|s do and will forever differ on«uch subjects, such a convention must bethe only competent arbiter of such differ-ences, (anS self competent each one neces-sarily must* bo) to decide all sqch mattersfor itsetfuifr8' if each state sends iho samenumber of delegates that it has of electoralvoles, (ana that is now conceded to beiheproper number)it is not to be supposed thatthe convention will adopt any form of ac-tion thai will defeat or evade the wilt ofthe majority of tho delegates; because thequestion whether they will vote to nomin-ate by states or by individual votes, mustbe decided by individual votes: and aa,whether tljey will vote per capita or byBtate^~gBa,tf by States, wbethef by mvote to each state, or by so many as it baof electoral votes—and if by so many as iihas of. electoral votes, then whether theyshall be given hy each delegate for himself,or by a majority of the state delegation fothe whole delegation—are, with all othequestions t>f organization, such as are tobe settled by the entire body of delegates invotes given,per capita,each man for himself—-wo cannot imagine that any majority o!delegates will ever consent to yield thenpower in *uch a convention to a minorityor to take any mode of action which willproduce a different result from that of a di-rect per capita vote.

THENEXT PRESIDENT.Subject to the decision oi the National Con-

vention to be held at Baltimore in May next,MAHTIN VAN BDHEN is tbo candidate for Presi.

dent of the Democracy of Now.York. Tbeproceedings of the State Convention, whicji wopublish to-dny, exhibit a unanimity of feelingand action, a spirit of liberal concession 'n tomere form, and a firm adherence .to principlewhich enn leave no reasonable doubt of the suc-cess of the democratic party in New-York. Thesame liberal and magnanimous course in otherStates, and the same determination to abide theresult of 'he Democratic National nominatingconvention, will ensure tho election of the nomi.nee of that convention whether that nomineeshall be MABTIW VA{( BUHEN of our own State,

or some other one of tho distinguished Republi-cans who will be presented to that conventionby the Democracy of their own states. So faras public opinion in the several States has beendeveloped, and in roast if not all of them thesubjecte has boen more or less discussed, Mr.VA.1 BCRKN, the candidate of tho State of New-York, is the favorite and popular candidate. Al-ready has a large plurality if rioHiri actual ma-jority of the democracy of tho Union declaredtbeir preference for him, desiring with the lamestandard bearer for tho Republican party to ap-poal to the "sober second thought of the people,"to test and retry the issues of tho campaign of1840. But the democracy of (his State, expres-sing its preference for the candidate of tho statoin tho true spirit of harmony and confidence,also expresses tho determination xenlously tosupport auqh person tor the presidency as maybo recommended by the democratic conventionto bo held at Baltimore, upon whichsoever ofthe eminent 'Republicans whoso names havebeen mentioned for that office, tho choice of><that convention may fall. - - - - -

The triumph of Stram.—Charles Willmer'sAmerican News-Letter, n paper printed in Liv-erpool, August 19, reached this village on th.6th inst. Only 16 days from Liverpool (o Og-adensburgh! A wonderful country this! and amost wonderful age ! We are indebted to thepoliteness of U. W. Kroger Esq. of this village,for the loan of the ahovementioned paper.—^Par-liament was expected to be prorogued withineight or ten days, as grouso shooting and grouseeating had already commenced.

Tho much between the BAHNXR Glub Boat ofthis village and the WAVE of Ssckcls Btrbor,for $100. a side, one mile, came off on the St.Lawrence, on Thursday last, and afforded thehighest gratification to a Urge assemblage of ciuizens and strangore. \t was in most respectswell conducted and warirtly if not detperatelycontested.

The boatt wero obliged to rut against a lighthead wind, but a fair atari was had *t the firingof the gun and they came through gallantly—each doing ita best and lapping each other thro1

tho whole distance. O B reaching the stake bottthe Judges decided tbat tho Wave had won byabout four feet. • -.

Tho good feeling displayed on both aides «••worthy of all commendation. Tiler* waa nodissatisfaction manifested on iho part of tbsBanner—no repining over' the 'foirtanc's'of theday. An error, however, would aeom to havsbeen committed in laying tho course so near dushore. Tho result shows that while the Wavewas in deep water, the Banner, being the insideboat, in order.to keep « straight course was com-pelled to cfots the Light Houio.shosl, whero thoshallow water doadenod her way; in additionto this, one other crow had already broken hi*{bot.bftc«f To these circumstance*'We thinkthe lp»s of the^nca may .bo very-jnitly tiiribnted.Now .that it is over, wehnVe;no,doqbt,th»tmMt

of thoeq who vrftrwesed it, i'fa confident th»t infjfoiottiejr WSteOi this advantages being equal, th»Banner would come off victorious.
