At a me tne oourt tionse, in i.L ty of Buffalo, on the tin uciuuer insi. ior me ulr egatesto attend theConvenTg fti.w Ti-lo or motion was called to the Chair, and Jacob A. AsTa pointed P' Resolved, That this meeting proceed to eWt v. ballot three Delegates to represent the town of jjuf falo and three Delegates to represent the city Buffalo, the County t-onvention, to be held on XIU lUDb. i Whereupon the meeting proceeded to on counting the dallots the following persons were declared duly elected: Stephen Osborn, Thomas T.

Sherwood, Suuire S. Cask. Ctrus Athearn, Jacob A. Barker, Absalom Delegates for the Town of Buffalo. Delegates from the City of Buffalo.

Upon searching the designated point of the heavens, with the naked eye, I readily found what I infer is the supposed Comet, which, by a calculation of the place of the planet Mars, I have ascertained it to be that body From the para bolick elements of Halley'n comet as given byClairault, I then calculated the place of that comet, on the first day of the present month. The result is as follows on the first of its Geocentrick latitude was ten degrees, fifty eUht minutes, Math longitude, ninety-nine degrees, forty-eight minutes. Its apparent location, at that time, as seen from the earth, was iuet beneath the star 38, near the south line of the Constellation Gemini. From this point it will seem to pass northwesterly, through the right hand of the Constellation Orion, thence a little north of the star Aldebaran, to its as-sending node, south of the Pleiades, tnlongitude fifty three degrees, forty-eight minutes. Its distance from the earth, on the first inst.

was 617,500,000 miles. This distance, though fall ing far witnm tne omitoi saturn, isioo great tnrougnwnicn to discern so small a body as Halley's comet. I have exam ined the point of its apparent location, which appears above the eastern horizon, at this time, between eleven and twelve at night,) with a good telescope, ot two hundred power, with oat success. As it will not pass its perihelion before about the middle of November, leJo, it will probably not be visi ble from the earth until within a few weeks of that period The planet Mars, which has doubtless been mistaken for this comet, was visible at the point stated, and was moving as asserted, towards the Great Bear but as that Constellation is without the ecliptick, Mars, of course, can never reacait. Respectfully Yours, L.

W. Buffalo, Oct 6, 1834. Remark. Since the above was in type, we have received tne Albany Daily Advertiser, of the 4th which copies a communication to the Troy Daily Whig, upon this subject, that is most singularly absurd. The writer states that, at 12 o'clock on the night ofthe first of Oct.

theeometwas visible at Troy, at an altitude of 35 degrees and a fraction He also gives its distance and course front the Pleiades and adds No train or trail was discernible to the naked eye through a telescope." This is quite true for the celes tial body that occupied the point in the heavens which this writer designates, on the night of the 1st inst. at twelve, is Jlldcbaran, one of the most splendid of the fixed stars, forming one of the eyes of the ConsteilationTaurus. It has occupied that vicinity, every 1st of Oetober, for this many a long year and was ever, as now, without any train or trail." Stve. A very singular, and to us quite novel pattern for a stove fur burning coal, maybe seen at Patterson, Broth ers Hardware Store.

Dear Sir: The very unexpected appointment of a Delegate te the Agrarian Convention which is to meet this day, was, as I am informed, conferred on me at a meeting of the citizens of Buffalo, last evening. Having just returned from a journey, my time is much occupied at this moment with my private affairs; but this circumstance should not prevent my attention to this great publics: concern.if I tho't I could render any essential aid in the deliberations of the convention. Some six or eight years you may recollect, I contributed my exertions, such as they were, in bringing the subject of the subsisting relations between the Holland Company and the inhabitants of Western New York, before the publick, and the legislature and, although our proceedings did not then result in an entire accomplishment of all the bjects we had in view, they still effected an essential amelioration in the condition of the settlers. I entirely concur with the great body of settlers who are now engaged in prosecuting further measures of redress, that other and important legislative enactments, or essential modifications of the contracts between the Company and the required upon the strongest principles of justice but as I am uninformed as to the particular course of proceedings which the settlers have recently been pursuing, or the convention now propose to adopt and as my defective hearing would.prevent me from acquiring, as a mere listener to the deliberations of the Convention, that thorough knowledge of their views which is indispensable to intelligent action and as our town is already numerously and ably represented in that convention, 1 have thought that my attendance might well be dispensed with. Do not, however, understand that I wish to shun the subject.

On the contrary, it is my intention to make myself acquainted with the particular views and wishes of the inhabitants on this all interesting abject, aad three years past, I have only been prevented from attending to by the occurrence domestic misfortunes and should the convention deem it expedient to adopt hereafter any further measures, I will cheerfully unite with them in effecting suefc proper objects as they may have in Tiew. Respectfully and truly yours, P.B.PORTER. IL8. Pottee, Esa. The Committee appointed to prepare resolutions reported a series of resolutions, which, after full discussion and amendment, were unanimously adopted, as follows, viz Resolved.

June 85- 3r The two great Antagonist principles of Society Mankind on both sides of the Atlantic seems to be divided into the two great divisions of Whig and Tory. All political dissentions and doctrines seems to have resolved themselvs into these two great fundamental distinctions. The Tories, or advocates of power, of legitimacy, of the divine right of kings, of aristocratick and monarchial institutions, military despotism and religious and hierarchial authority against the noble cause of me numan race, and ot human liberty the cause of Whig principles' and of republican equality and oi aemocracy. On one side we have the Carlists, and the Inquisition, and the Russian Autocrat, and the Austrian despot, and Louis Philippe of the Oarncades, and Metternich, and Pozzo di Bor go, and Wellington, and Talleyrand, and Andrew Jackson, and Martin Van Buren on the other' the suffering struggleing People, the great mass of the population in all countries contending against those tyrants who would trample them in the dust, rob them of their property, and harness them in chains like beasts of burden, to servo these would-be masters of the human family who think he world was made for them.
