valty—The Nom! sion among the Sachems. The troubles ia old Tammany aypear to thicken and increase, After three protracted meetings of the Nominating Committee, and ballotings innu merable, a candidate for the office of Sheriff of this county was nominated, at a late hour on Fri- day night; and now it appears that Mr. Westervelt intends to contest the nomination, on the singular ground that one vote, given for another person, which a blundering member of the committee threw by mistake, would have given him the nom lf he cannot succeed in causing a recon- sideration of the ballot by the committee, before its dissolution, he clearly intimates that he will appeal to the county meeting, to be ca.led hereafter to re- spond to the nominations of the committee; and the sort of meeting which may be anticipated on that occasion can be paralleled by none that has ition Contested —Confu- bly struck with the peculiar parties at the present time. not conversed wi single politician of any ity who does not agree with n opinion, tha eon the political chess board ‘The probable chances of more difficult to estimate than w ny definite result are any previous occasion Tfitbe true that Tennessee, was claimed dis his avowed preference for Van Buren, then it is cer- west has thus far repudiated the New Polk was the strongest man in that region of the country, the pet of General Jack- en,and the contemplated candidate for the Vice or Was a Iman comparatively Ven Buren, then, falls with Polk in the e election of Polk, in inctly on the ground of York candidate As Mr. Westervelt did not receive the nomination by the votes actually cast, we can sec great difficul- ty in his way with the Convention; for subsequent declarations of any of its members, thet they had been so negligent, or so stupid, in the discharge ot a duty so very important, as to vote for the Sheriff with a County Clerk's ticket, may not be deemed admissable as a justification forthe re-commence- ment of the desperate struggle through which they But again, the availability of the ground taken, if it would have had any merit in the case, if the vote in question wasthe last and decisive one beiore the Convention, is destroyed by the tact that four ballotings succeeded that in which the erroneous vote was given, and hence the blunder- ing voter had four subsequent opportunities to vote correctly. The eleventh balloting was that on which Mr. Lane voted for Mr. Osgood by mistake, and then Mr. Westerveit received forty-two votes; but onthe twelfth balloting, when no mistake occurred, Mr. Westervelt obtained no more than forty-two votes. How does he account for this? About the ulti- mate result we have as much anxiety aswehave about the election of achief by a barbarous Indian tribe, but we deem it'necessary to state the queer position in which old Tammany is placed, and that all the facts and fancies of the parties may have stion, we commence with the publication of Mr. Westervelt’s manifesto, and Mr. Lane’s effidavit :— To my Democratic Fetrow Cirizens.—My name bay- ing been placed im nomination, among others, betore the Democratic Cenvention o: Delegates from ‘the several Waids, lately assembled at Tamman: pose of nominating County officers, short statement for the consideration oi my iriends and fellow citizens. On Friday evening last, the Convention assembled for the third time, for the nomination of been unable during the pre>eeding sessions On that evening the votes cast in intended so to be, were forty three, being a majority of the whole Convention, which consisted of eighiy five Delw gates. On that vote I ciaim to be nominated as the candi date for the office ef Sherif, according to the old and weli known usages of the Democratic party. The vote given for my name on the first ballot on thet evening was twen- ty-seven; and it increased gradually until the cleventh bailot, when the tellers declared the following result, namely : forty-two for Westervelt, forty for Atwood, two for Emmans, snd one for Osgood. ‘The ono vote on’ that ballot for Mr. Orgood, was given by Mr. Cornelius Lane, 1 It was handed in purely by mistake; and, when the result was declared, the fact was fostated by Mr. Lane. The explanation made by him at thetime was that ke had provided himself with tickets with the name of Mr. Osgood written upon them, which heiptended to use for that gentlemen on a subsequent bal- lot for County clerk, and that accidentally he used one of them upon the above ballot in the hurry of the moment, and thus his ticket became inadvertently changed. It will thus be perceived that, in justice, I am equitabhy entitled to the entire vote of forty three, w: in nomination before the County meeting. I willnot now speak of the means resorted to by the members of the Convention, by which my friends were afterwards pre vented from having the above unintentional error cor- rected ; but I nevertheless claim to have been duly nomi- nated by a majority of the votes of that body, and shall appeal to the justice of the County meeting shortly to be convened, and ask my democratic fellow citizens to sur. tain mein the position which I now publicly assert, il endeavor honorably and fairly to maintain according to the usages of the party.

CORNELIUS LANE. If it be true, and we presume it will be conceded, e contest in Georgia was fought upon the ground claimed by the friends of Mr. Calhoun, then it is equally certain that the south hag, thus refused iis adhesion to the Carolina leader of the democracy. Georgia and Maryland have both spoken significantly, and there is nothing in the voice of either encouraging to the hopes of the two promiuent leaders of the demecra‘ic party. Pennsylvania has made her demonstrations in sections, for Johnson, Buchanan and Van Buren, but as yet there is nothing to give assurance of The interests of that State are greatly and deeply affected by the tariff, and her vote very much depends upon the action of candi- dates on that question. New J>-rsey ‘s thus far the only State in the re- cent elections, which seems to have spoken'by her vote so plainly as not to be micunderstood. The whigs have been completely routed, and a triumph has been secured by the democracy, not under the banner of Van Buren, or Calhoun, but distinctly under that of the present Administration. fectly notorious that the secession of Captain Steck- ton and his friénds from the whigs, has been the cipal cause of this result. plain is the personal and politica} President Tyler, and his personal exertiens were most efficiently exercised in the recent contest. Thus, strange as it may ap- pear to our readers, we perceive that the first real demoerstic victory has been achieved under the Tyler banner, almost at the very moment that other democratic States have been lost, while led by the names of Van Buren and Calhoun.

Daring this day, the Fair, though respectably at tended, was not crowded, and in this there wes an advantage, for those who did attend had an op- portunity to examine the articles exhibited with comfort and convenience. In the evening, however, the crowd was greater than we have heretolore seen it. Heads of families were there promenad- ing with their own domestic manufactures ; there were, too, the staid old bachelor, and seraphs of sweet sixteen, the stupid and the scientific, the in- quisitive and the ingenious, the artizan aud the arti- ficer ; all cla were represented, and all were evidently gratified. During the day the engine room was an interest- ing scene. Models of inachinery were in motion, and many excellent machines were in practical operetion. We observed two ingenious printing presses, which show that the divine art of printing, notwithstanding the advances which have been made init, is Cl atrgee still further improvements. indeed nearly all the inventions which are here fos- tered and encoureged, ate tending 10 the comtort of man, and to bis ease and convenience. These im- proved printing presses will materially facilitate the intercourse of the human race, and if looked at merely as an appendage to trade and commerce, it is evident that they will afford the means, with greatly diminissed labor,and in a brief space of time of communicating to the community where their wants and necessities can be supplied. And in this connection we may appropriately mention the vast improvement in writing materials. C. O. Wnght & Co. have a great variety of steel pens in the exbidiiion, which have heretofore ob- tained the premium, and are likely to do so at the present Fair. Goldsmith, the celebrated writ ns master, has execuied some beautiful soecimens ot his art, with Wright’s pens, which furnish a strong testimonial of their worth. We were intormed that the demand for them is such as to require their ma- nufacture at the rate of 1400,gross per week. J.K Park’s manifold jeter writer may also be mentioned in this category. They are neatly manu- factured, are cleanly, the colored paper is ot such composition as to give an eaduring impression with- out besmearing the sheets, and they are brought to such perfection that the writing has all the pecu- liarities of that executed by the pen. Mr. Park, who is located at 37 John street, deserves much from the business community for the improvements he has made in this article. i Couthouy & Nevers have a magnificent display of their lamps, candelabra, girandoles, solar lamps, and specimens of casting and silvering. They are utterly unapproachable, and hence kave no compe: tition, whereby they are the losers, for the beauty of their exhibition would be enhanced by compa- rison. Rust, of 128 Maiden Lane, has a specimen of lord Jamps, which are useful and economical. This application of lard, and the clear and bright light which it furnishes, will raise the value of hogs. Morton, of 127and 129 Water street, has an exhi- bition of cut and plain glass, manufactured at the Brooklyn Flint Giass Works, of beautiful material. Likewise enamelled druggists’ jars. A bell telegraph by Edward Stetson, New Bed- ford, Mass., appears of questionable utility or practi- vability, and that, after all, is the test of inventions. A fireman’s elevator and shield, by S. Penfield, of Augusta, wher placed near a burning building may be exceedingly useful; but we prefer one oi less finished workmanship by an inventor named Wright, from North Providence, which has the ad- vantage of easy locomotion, for it may be run like an engine to the place where it may be poured We would call the attention of the Chiet Engineer, the firemen, and all others interested in such ma- chines, to the models here furnished, for in a great city like this, they may be found very serviceable. From the “ Alhamra” there are many specimens of contectionary. A bridal cake is really toe beau- tiful in its decorations for use ; for who would be Goth enough to destroy such ingenious workman- ship? There is also a large edifice or temple, which is composed entirely of sugar, that appears ae durable as the best order of architecture. These Unings alone are really worth a visit to the Fair. McGraw, of 463 Broadway, has an extension s0- fa, which is a very useful and valuable article. He has repeatedly received the highest premium for his articles, and if he now receives no other, he will assuredly receive the diploma of popular approba- tion. One of his sofas now exhibited, with greet facility, is changed into a very commodious bed- stead, in which are conveniences for stowing away the bedding. It is much used by clergymen and professional gentlemen, and wil! doubtless come in- to general use. He has alse a variety of other pa- tented furniture. ; Specimens of Sherman’s improved trusses, from 63 Chambers street, are superb in their manutac- ture, aud appear to be admirably adapted instru- ments for the purpose for which they are designed. ‘The iastrumental organ player of Messrs. Jackson & Son was very assiduous during the day and eve- ning, and enlivened the se¢ene with much admira- ble music. ‘Tue Proveurne Matcu at Patsrson.—On Satur- day the ploughs intended to be tested at the plough- ing match,were sent onto the ground—and precisely at 9 o’clock this morning, the managers, invited guests, ard the bands of the North Carolina and Governor's Island, were on board the Ferry boat at the foot of Courtlandt street. The morniog was calm and propitious, notwithstanding the storm of Sunday night—a pleasant cheertul sky gave promise of a bright noon, and ail seemed to feel the freshness of the bracing morning air. The Paterson Railroad Company had an extra train ready to convey the company to the scene of operations. It was a gra- tuitous ofler to the American Institute, the only one ever made by any company since its formation, in passing too and fro to the places appointed tor the various ploughing matches. All being seated, the word “go” was given at 27 minutes to 10 o'clock, and after a pleasant ride through the Jersey flats, with an occasional! peep at the farmsteads, which line the base of the ridges of the Passaic, we arrived at Paterson at precisely ten minutes to eleven, the route being about sixteen miles anda halt. As we entered the town, a cannon, planted on the rising ground, boomed forth a welcome, and many eager faces were applied at the windows, inquiring if Col. Johnson was on board. The absence of this dis- tinguished expected seemed to damp the ardor of the village artillery, as we heard but litle more from the cannon’s mouth—a roar or two of angry disappointment, and it was returned to the arsenal to await the arrival of more honored visilers. As soon asali had disembarked from the cars, a pro- cession was formed, and by twos, headed by the ri- val bands, we marched, like Falsteff’s ill matched troops, on through a deep sandy roadway, until we reached the Passaic Hotel, where the head quarters wasestablished for the day. ‘The villagers kept holi- day, the factory girls thronged the windows of the line of march, and though we have no doubt of their usefulness—we may differ trom other chroni- cler as to their ornamental qualifications;signs,pigs, bonnetless children were the principal objects which met our eye as we toiled roe. the knee deep soil. Though the rocks appeared bare of verdure, yet Paterson must be a Ma prolific spot, if we may judge from the number of the rising generation, and the future prospects in that line, asfar as we had an opportunity of seeing. The following gentlemen were appointed to su- perintend the proceedings at the field :— GEN. JEREMIAH JOHNSON, Brooklyn, President. Vice Presidents--Axpxrw Parsons, of Paterson ° Scnvurien, of N.Y.

While the managing committee were arranging the programme of proceedings, a nuinber of the cu- rious, ourselves among the number, proceeded in cars provided tree of charge, the ownere of the several hotels, to view the falls of the Pes- saic, A rough jaunt over an unimproved up-hil) road, brought us to the turnpike, where we alighted, and #foot we strolled through the wood to the verge ot the boiling torrent. A river of tolerable width, sweeps round 4 jutting promontory, and falling over an artificial dam, rushes ewittly down its rocky bed unul it tumbies into the aarrow chesm, through which, boiling. surging, and in eddying whirlpools it topples down tne valley. The scenery is bold and striking—and the varying foliage ef the autumnclad woods gave a sombre tint to the rocks, the valley, and the commingling sky. Coged in a strong en- closure, a bald Eagle, with a piercing eye, looks out upon the seene, as if panting to soar once again above the high crowned rocks which skirt his nar- row abode. Leaving the spot for a more leisure visit ata future day, we returned tothe hotel, where we joined the line of march for the field on which the whistling ploughman was to win his earthy honors Oor driver was a “genus loci”—he knew the name of every candidate and his geneology;but unluckily for his veracity, nota single name was correct. He blundered into a shortcut, and bronght us up before a stiff fence, where we left him to find his way back as his unlucky etare might guide him, while we made the best of our way over a marshy Jot to the field. Here we found a motley crowd collected—farm- ere, factory girls, men mounted and in wagons, oyster stands, cider venders, cegur stalls, and many a team of goodiy proportions, already in harness, and breaking ground to prepare themselves for the contest.
