To prove that the bitterness with which the Barnburners have received hit Domination, is uo fiction, we subjoin a few extracts from some of their most ^ rommcM organs. The editor of the cw York Globe was present at the Con vention, and seems to have noted its pro ceedings with all the jealousy natural lo o member of that section of the party to which he belonged. lie wri tes of what he saw In the following strain : «• Wo hove but a few words to say this morning respecting the outrage uj>- on our Democracy, in the decision of n purt of a National Convention, admit ting two sets of Delegates from this Slate. After having committed this out rage nil obligation to support the nomi nees of the Convention ended. No mat ter who had been nominated .after New York wai thrown out.the Democracy of this State would not have supported the candidates. We tell our readers that it is as impossible to elect the Baltimore nominees as it is to row a boat up the Niagara Falls with a crowbar. They cannot be elected, Ifcvery Democratic paper in the Slate should give the nom ination a hearty support, the result would not bo changed. Lewis. Cues will want from fifty to one hundred thou sand votes of carrying the Electoral tick et pf New York. The man who thinks otherwise, knows little of the extent of popular indignation respecting the out rage committed on the New York De mocracy. A revolution in parlies is at hand. The bopeat of all parties will come together, and the Democracy of tho Union will become purified. ** The nomination m General Cass, outside of the walls of. the building 'tfliich it was made, received not a sin gle ebeer. The very boys who throng ed the street in front of the church, gave long and loud cheers for General Taylor, tho moment tho nomination .of Cass was announced. From the time Cass was nominated, until wc returned to this city, wo have not heard his nhme cheer ed, cither in the hotels, in the’cars, or board ihs. steamboats, or any where else; the name of Lowis Cass was scarce ly mentioned on our route home. This is ominous. >• ■ : » ■ ' 1 ■ I On .mi uutvar nomo, we learned that the some degree $fsilence was ob served. The reason- is obvious—the Democracy of our State has been insult ed—a spurious, conservative,* slavery- extension Delegation,elected by nobody, were allowed to sit by tho side of our Delegates, in adjoining pews of the Uni versalis! Church in Baltimore—the place in which the Democracy of the nation, through their representatives, assembled to mako n nomination for the, higbesl of fice in the gift of a free people. This insult was loo great to be overlooked, our Democratic Delegates withdrew from the Convention.” The ktecn, long-beaded editor of the Globe, saw much mere deeply into the trqc state of the cose than could tbos<? whose interest led them to view it throughlbe rose-colored mediumof hope. His account of tho reception pt the nom ination, is as different from, that of the Union and the other papers which sup port the nomination ns it is possible m be. It seems, according to him, that there was no enthusiasm manifested up-, on tho nomination of General Cass, outside oPibc building in which the Con vention sat; and litis statement concurs fully with all our intelligence of a pri vate nature with regard to tho matter. It is not doubted, as the editor says.tbat without the assistance of the Barnburn ers, il will he as impossible for vbo De mocracy of New York to cany that and lias had no judgment mid no honest hearing on her claims. . To say that she i will repudiate the nomination might im ply that some shadow of obligation ° r seeming lie bound her to the decision of the convention. It i? not so. We believe wc speak the sentiments of the democratic masses of the state, when we say that they will regard this nomi nation as a thing concerning which they have no responsibility, wfiich is not ad dressed to them, and concerns them not. They will take their own action in re gard to the future. They are powerful enough to do so, as the intriguers and fanatical sectarians, who have broken the seal of the democratic parly and scattered its fragments, will find to their sorrow.” But we have not r^cn \-ct gone through II the degrees of comparison. The Globe and ihp Post may stand for the positive ; the Atius may answer very well for the comparative; but the su perlative may be found in an article pub lished by us a few days since from the Troy Budget, and which is so good of its kind that we caiiuoi forbear to repub lish it; “ A Convention at Baltimore to whose action the people looked with some lit tle interest, has nominated General Cass for the Presidency. When the news reached here, it fell like a dull, dead weight, upon all classes except the Whigs. ** The Baltimore Convention has ac- coinplislied a feat which will long be remembered among the remarkable events in the political history of the coun try. It has broken up tho democratic party oft he uation !” VYith these evidences it may not be improper to incorporate that of the Charleston Mercury,from the other end of the Democracy, the editor oT which says he is not wilting to see the State of South Carolina placed in a position where they might appear to go for Lewis Cass, “ or some oilier equivocating betrayer ofour Can’t Swallow It.

I said in the Baltimore Convention,whatl now repeal in substance : 44 that the Florida delega tion were under instructions substantial ly like those of the Alabama delegation, arid that her delegates could not allow the vole of Florida to be changed from Woodbury to Cass, until the Conveniion should declare the principles upon which the campaign would be opened ; that if the principles declared by the conven tion came up to the instructions given by the State of Florida, her delegates would most cheerfully pledge the State tothe nomination ; and that noone would enter more ardently into tbeoavass than I would individually ; that my every feel- jing was with tho Democracy; that I J could not be forced from its principles; hut that, until they were declared, I the the with no stain upon her integ- rtFthot her delegation would see that she went 1 hence without a spot ja reply to the manv vehement and ; u P on l ,cr h° n ' uncalled for attacks which have been 1 .

Two millions of voters over the country record their suffrages for a national ruler, and as the Tele graph communications will extend by that time over neatly tbs whole coun try, enough returns of the election mat' be known and tefegrflj^ d by the next morning to indicate with tolerable cer tainty whom the nation has chosen. This will be the greatest business ever done in one day in the United States. Hydrophobia.—The following is said to be a preventive ot hydropbia, discov ered by a French physician, M.

The chlorine gas possesses the power of decomposing this tremendous poison, and renders mild and harmless that venom against whose resistless attack the artillery of medi cal science has been so long directed il vain.
