The Ultra and Columbus of the Van Buren nigaln a Candidate for the Preside Our telegraphic intelligence, published in another column, is remarkably interesting. It embraces the proceedings of the Barnburners' Convention, held at Utica, with the names of their nominees for the Presidency and the Vice Presidency in opposition to General Cass, General Taylor, General Butler, General Tom say nothing of half a dozen, or more, of others, from the walks of civil life. Also, the proceedings of the Free Soil Convention, held at Columbus, Ohio. It will be seen that the highly respectable inhabitant of Lindenwald, Mar.in Van Buren, has been nominated by the barnburners as their candidate for the Presidency. He has not yet accepted the nomination, but there is very little doubt that he will be prevailed upon to do so, and that he will consent to run, after making a few twaddling remarks about Wilmot some other nonsensical when coining from a politician.

Their candidate for the Vice Presidency is Gov. Dodge, of man whose popularity, among the huge paws, at the West and North-West, where the friends of Gen. Cass suppose his main strength lies, is almost unbounded. He, like General Cass, has been Governor of the North-Western territory. He succeeded Gen.

Cass after the admission of Michigan, and held it almost to the time of the admission of Wisconsin. He has recently been elected to the United States Senate from that new State. Thus progresses the great revolution of parties, which we predicted some time since. Mr. Van Buren has contributed his share in the good work, although he set out with a different view.

His only aim and that of his son John, has been to defeat Gen. Cass, if possible, in the election of because Gen. Cass and his friends used their influence to prevent the re-nomination of Mr. Van Buren in the Baltimore convention of 1S44. And all this game has been played, and is being carried on still, under the specious pretext of preventing the extension of slavery in the territory recently acquired by the United States from Mexico.

It has all been undertaken through love for the negroes that may hereafter be located on the salt lakes of California. This is the pretext, and the Wilmot proviso is the principle, on which the philanthropic Martin Van Buren, with the aid and comfort of his 6on John, ha9 planted himself in opposition te Gen. Cass, as the democratic candidate for the Presidency. The anecdote about the boy and the load of hay explains the Instead of crying and bellowing," said the passer by, "about spilling your hay, why don't you go to work and re-load it 1" Dang the hay," said the boy, I don't care about the hay, o-o-o, but that dad is under it." "Dang the Wilmot proviso," says John A'an Buren, "but that dud is under it." Here, then, we have another Presidential candidate in the field: and the work of revolutionizing parties still goes on. The eflect of the proceedings of this convention will be to give the State to General Taylor, and this is precisely what the Van Bnrens wish.

This is their method of paying off General Cuss, for the exertions which nun ii.s irienus soccessiuny mane on me iwoihird rule, in the convention of 1HH, to throw Mr. Van lluren overboard. As as well as lovers, think revenge is sweet, this is the method revenging himself 011 General Cass, which Mr. Van Buren has adopted. One good turn, he thinks, deserves another; and hence Mr.

Van Buren's opposition to lilin. to these movements, we find that we are obliged to alter our list of candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency at the ensuing election. The list, we believe, is now complete; hat we may yet be compelled to alter it again, and put in one or two NAMES OF THE REOURAKRY NOMINATED CANDIDATES. Politici. lbr Proiricrit.

Harnhurncrs Martin V. Henry Podge, Wise. Thus far, very well but there are some barnburners among the whigs, as well as among the democrats. A portion of this latter party have avowed their determination ol not supporting the Philadelphia and Fillmore? and have announced their intention of running candidates of their own. The free soil whigs of Ohio have held a convention in Golumbus, hut any nominauon km the Presidency nnd Vice Presidency, in opposition to Tnylor nnd Fillmore, till the 9th ot August next.

Those in Massachusetts hold their convention in Worcester, on the 28th and a portion of the disaffected wings in the State ot Pennsylvania talk of holding one at Pittsburgh. Now, whether these conventions will amount to anything or not, we do no' know we merely record thein as signs of the times. We intimated, in a former itrticle, that there wns every probability of the barnburners adopting the principle of freedom of the public lands, and to that extent identifying themselves with the national reform party. Such a union of principles has taken place. It will he seen, by our telegraphic intelligence, that, after an exciting debate by the members of the Ttica convention, a resolution of this character was dopted.

This may giv them quite an addition of force; for the national reform parly have been endeavoring for some years past, to prevail either the whig or democratic party, to adopt their creed, and thus secure their triumph at some time or other; hut the national rej formers have already candidates of their own they may, however, drop men and take up with those of ih? barnburners Thus we go. Paruer are at present in a be.autiully mixed condition The approaching election a Witt bs a right Tsyloffrill dir of fleneral will suit, anil Mr. Van Buren will his gun J( against both. These nominations of the barnburn- fl era will probably incite the friends of General Cass to ni ike nd ilional efforts for It will a very inlet sting struggle, and we can safely say that there is abundance of fun ahead. American Steam We learn that the Charleston line of steamers is to be increased to four, in order to have a semi-weekly communication with that city That line has been highly successful.

We also learn, that the owners of 'he Crescent City intend to build ano- ti ther steuiner, Tike her, to run between this port and New Orleans. It must be gratifying to every American to wit- ness this success in ocean steam navigation, The Crescent City can bent the overland mail from one a to three days, and she will, therefore, afford means for the transmission of letters and we understand that the owners will take all papers and letters gratuitously to New Orleans. All will be pleased to hear this. It is to be regretted that government should in- terfere, directly or indirectly, with the success of nrivnfp pnfpmriap iiq in tVia aKnva ctota. t.

ment. It is understood that the assignees of Mr. Sloo's contract are not able to proceed with that contract, unless government will make them nn advance of twenty-five thousand per month. It would seem, then, that two hundred and ninety thousand dollars per annum, or two million nine hundred thousand dollars gross, is not basis enough to onrry them through therefore, they feel obliged to call upon government for eight hundred dollars per day for this purpose. It appears strange that men should obtain a con- tract front government, giving them some thou- sand dollars day, for establishing a route now successfully commenced by another concern, or other parties, without any aid except their energy, I experience and capital; and yet, as has been re- 1 presented, be unable to go on without nid from the said government.

The public will be most happy to see this line in successful operation, but accord- ing to contract. When, however, they acknow- ledge their inability so to do without further nid from government, and ask for an advance of mo- ney to enable them to build their boats, the ques- tion then arises, is not this carrying the joke a little too far I There are some men with capital in the United States, who would be most happy to make a con. tract by which they could be guarantied money sufficient to pay all the expenses, and they have all the profits; and there are many, apparently without capital, who, in addition to such a guarantee, would have no objection, in the first place, to having the money advanced without interest. To be serious, however, as both the original contractor and his assignees have been represented as abundantly able, let them proceed, backed by the two millions nine hundred thousand dollars, but don't let them put their hands into the public treasury in advance. If this, however, must be done, and they insist upon it, then open the door and, with the new conditions, submit the whole to public competition.

Such a course would save the government more than half a million of dollars. I The Naturalization are glad to I perceive that there is some prosjiect of a very serious defect in the existing naturalization laws being remedied, a bill for that purpose having rcI cently been introduced into Congress. The present laws require a declaration of intention," and a five years' residence 011 the part of au aiicu, lujjcuici wiui uu utuu iu support ine I stitution of the United States, before he can become a citizen of this repnblic. If, however, an alien, after declaring his intention to become a citizen, should leave the United States, if only for an hour, or a moment, he must commence dc novo, and re-declare his intention. This, surely, never was contemplated by the framers of the law; yet this is the interpretation put upon it by high judicia' authority.

For instance, if an alien, who resides I in any of the States bordering on the Canadas, de, clare his intention to become a citizen of the United i States, and who has his permanent residence in any of such States, should by stress of weather, if he be travelling on the lakes, be compelled, or i should voluntarily enter her Majesty's Canadian provinces, and remain there, if only for a moment, he forfeits the right he had acquired by his declaration of intentions, and must commence dc novo the usual proceedings, in order to enable him to be.coine a citizen. The question has been tried, for the purpose of testing it, and this has been the decision. It is to remedy this defect, which is an obvious one, that a bill to amend the naturalization laws has been recently introduced into Congress, and which we hope will be sjieedily passed. Rcw? from Europe. We have been, for the last twenty-four hours, momentarily expecting later news from Europe, by the auxiliary steamship Sarah Sands, which left Liverpool on the 6lh, and the Cunard steamship Britannia, which left on the 10th of June, both of which vessels are now due at this the one with intelligence of a later date by three duys than what we have received, and the other with a week later.

We have no doubt, that either one or the other of these steamships will arrive to-day or tomorrow. The most important intelligence which we expect by these arrivals is from Ireland. From its tenor, we shall be able to form an opinion of the pruualiic I'uurm; ui rvnus in umi cuuiiuy.

A Stravoe Bird at the Park was quite an excitement at the Park fountain yesterday afternoon, in consequence of the appearance of a strange looking bird, swimming about in the basin There were more than a thousand persons who pressed lo see it, not one of whom could tell what it was. though all could think it belonged to the crane species. The beak, head and neck were similar to that of fhe cruuo.

though the body was perfectly black, and shaped very like the common crow. The legs were short, and the feet webbed It swam with the whole body under water, only the head and a portion of the neck being visible; and seemed to like that place where the greatest body of water fell from the fountain, ihough it would frequently swim around the edgo of the basin. The keeper of the fountain went near the basin, and the strange bird swam up to him. and suffered itself to be lifted out of the water, and put upon the land. Its movements on the land were very awk- ward, scarcely knowing how to walk, the water evi- dently being its proper home.

The name of the bird as given by Wilson, is Plolut Vailianlii, or black bel- lied Darter, and is a bird of India. Africa and the South seas Most ornithologists class it among the species of the Pellcanic. though it bears very little re- semblance, having no pouch as the pelican. Its plumage was black, very glossy, and very soft and i smooth interspersed with dark grey spots from the baok part of the head, down the back to the tall, which was slightly tipped with a dirty white color. The head, beak, and neck about the same size and length, as the common bittern.
