The evening session was devoted to the recep- tion of reports of committees, At seven o'clock the chairman called the meeting to order; there were about six hundred persons present, Mr. Strona, from the committee to whom wes referred the case contested between Mesers. Seymour and Miller: of Oneida, reported, that the committee had hed the matters connected with this case under corsideration, and that they had concluded, after all due and careful research, that Mr. Horatio L. Seymour was entitled to a seat in this convention, as a regular delegate trom the county of Oneida; and that Mr. Miller, the contestant, was not entitled to a seat in this convention. Mr. Strona, having read the credentials, &c , of the contestants, and stated the reasons which had induced the committee to make such a report, the chairman put the question to the convention upon agreeing with the report of the committee, and it was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Seymour took his seat, Miller concurred in the report of the committee.

It was stated to the convention by the President, and taken by the ayes and noes. The question waa, in fact, whether Mr. Snow (conservative) or Mr. Spafford, (ra- dical) sheuld be admitted to at. The result was, that the convention, by « vote of 61 to 61 tied the ques: tion. The utmost confusion ensued—the count was challenged—several delegates rose with counts kept by themselves. Calls were made for a second vote, the Pre- sident stating that he was una) the correct count. Several gent cused from voting at the first trial, now requested to be allowed to vote; objections were made, and extraordi- nary confusion ensued The vote was i.bout to be taken again, when Mr. Van Buren rose and said that the host below stairs bad just advised him that dinner wasready. He moved that the convention do now adjourn. Then the convention summarily adjourned till $ o'clock, P. M. ye 1 Srzpercen Axason, je convention met at three o'clock, P.

The President thon stated the question pending be- fore the convention previous to the adjournment rd one o’clock. The question, he said, was upon the motion of Mr. Rathbun, of Cayuga, to strike out the name of Mr. Snow (conservative) from the resolution of Mr. Brady, (which declared that Mr. Snow was entitled to a seat as delegate.) and insert the name of Mr. Spafford. Some discussion ocourred upon the question raised in the morning, whether the delegates who asked to be ex- cused when the first vote was taken, on account of ig- norance of the merits of the question, should now be allowed to vote, The President declared that he had no power to pre- vent their voting. The roll was then led a second time by the Secretary, and the result was that the Pre- sident announced the singular fact that the vote was again tied. Ayes 64, noes 64. An extraordinary tumult occurred when the President ennounced that the motion of Mr. Rathbun to stril out the name of Mr Snow, and insert the name of M Spafford, (radical,) was lost. ‘The questionthen recurred upon the original resolu- tion of Mr. Brady, that Mr Snow, of Otsego, (conser- vative,) be admitted to # seat in this convention. ‘The ayes and noes were demanded upon the motion and the Secretary again called the roll, and there w: again atie. Ayes 64, noes 64 The resolution to admit Mr. Snow to a seat was de- clared to be lost. Mr Fiexp roe he presumed Mr. 8 teral groans ) Mr. Monenouse, of Otsego, rose and asked if Messrs. Morehouse and Temple were entitled toa seat in the eonvention. The Prestpent vpiee affirmatively. Mr. Morehouse then observed, that in conformity with powers eonferred by @ resolution passed at the district convention, tego county, he would now appoint Mr. Spafford a sub- stitute delegate in place of Mr. Temple, who was illand unable to «attend the convention. This srereenet was concurred in by the convention, and Mr. Spafford was admitted to a seat. Tho result is, that Messrs. Snow and Temple are excluded; the Selegest yn frum Otsego is therefore one less than that to which she is entitled. Mr Birvsact, from the committee, to whom was ri ferred the contested cases from the city of Now Yi reported in relation to the contest betwoen Meuars. Cai rigan and Towle, of the 12th ward in that city; they re- ported that the committee wore unanimously of the opinion that Mr. ‘Towle (conservative) was entitled to a seas, and that Mr. Carrigan should be excluded. The convention are now considering this case; it is five P. M.; the mail closes in a few moments, and I must close my despatch. nd said that Mr. Sncw being rejected, pafford was the sitting member. (Gut- Synacuse, Oct. 1. 1847 My second despatch to the New Fork Herald office, gave the proceedings of the second day of the Democratic State Convention down to 5 o’elook. At that hour the convention was considering tl mittee in the caso of Towle against Carrigan from New York. The committee had recommended that Mr Towle be admitied to a seat as the reguiur delegate Upon this report of the committee, a continuous discus- sion of some seven hours ocourred; in that discussion there were warmly engaged some of the very best ora- tors and declaimers offeach of the sections; it was often impossible toheara syllable at x distance of three feet, and the cries of thw President to order, were lost and swallowed up in the tumult. This singular and umps- ralleled debate was witnessed by # crowd of citizens, and was protracted until dark; at that hour there was « mo- tlun to adjoura, Though;there was a!oimmense mojority oppored tn the motion, the President, glad of an opportu- nity to adjourn, pronouuced the motion carried, aud a journed the couvention until 74 o'clock, P.

Mr Barker, of Erie, rose and said, that in consequence of a contingen- cy which had suddenly presented itself, hu was co strained to respectfully request the convention to pei mit him to his seat, aud appoint = substitute to fill his place; he would nominate to the convention, as « substitute, Mr. Oliver Pateb, of Erie. On motion of Mr. Cramze, the resignation of General Barker was accepted by the convention, and the nomi- nation of Mr. Oliver Puteh was confirmed f x, of Otwego, said that Menars, Spafford g been excluded feom the convention, old Otsego was deprived of the full delegation (three) to which she waa entitled. Mr. M. moved, therefore, that thorised to appoint Lyman J, Walworth to fill ney caused by the exclusion of both the contes- tants for seats from that county, Messrs. Snow and Spaf- ford. Tho Presivext decided that the motion was not in order, Mr. Jonx Van Bunn appealed from the decision of the President. HRELENG, Of Suffolk, insisted that this w 1d question, and entitled to precedence over all The Presiveyt insisted that it was not a privileged question ‘A most tumultuous and passionate discussion ensued; some twenty delegates were speaking at once, and it was impossible to trace any single tongue among such acrash of tongues. At the suggestion of Mr. Cambreleng, Mr. Morehouse finally withdrew his motion, aud the convention resumed the consideration of the contested case between Mesers. ‘Towle and Carrigan, from the 12th ward of the city of New York, Mr, Dootittiy, of Wyoming, a very able radical del- gate, was opposed to the recommendation of the com- mittee, that Mr. Towle (conservative) be admitted toa seat; he called it an attempt of the responsible majori- ty of this convention, to force into it a man who was plainly no more entitied to a seat than if he was neve candidate for a delegate. Mr. Brapy, of New York, replied on behalf of the op- position. Mr. Grover rejoined; his speech was an anomaly in orator; \is voice is partly Randolphian, and his delive- ry is like David Crockett’s. Mr. Gro F was @ radical member of the last Congress from Allegany county; he is really a screamer. Kach sentence he utvered was re- ceived with peals of immoderate laughter. He the President 0: the convention a stern und dangerous hit, when he said with a mock vity, which was irresisti- bly, fascinating, that his constituents never allowed their postmasters to interfere with their elections or conven- tions; the President steggered under the blow, and the convention received it on account of the peculiar man- ner of tho speaker, with screams of laughter. In re- ions of this convention, Mr. Grover mtion, “ You may nominate the man (conservative) that had his dagger the deepest in Silas Wright's heart, and my constituents will support him, if in his nomination you do net violate democratic ci- ples; to those principles my constituents will stick till the trumpet of the archangel Gabriel sounds.” Mr. G. was followed by Messrs. Punsen of New York and Mounext of Chenango; the latter earnestly apponl- ed to the convention to forbear farther discussion, and to act without delay. The question was then taken upon the resolution of the committee, which declared that Mr. Towle (conserv- ative) was entitled tonseat, and it was carried—ayes 67: is thus giving the conservatives the control of the ntion = * e case of Messrs.

Mr. Ratnaun, of Cayuga, observed that the commit- tee ought to make their report ina condensed form ; it was utterly for the convention to examine #0 meny papers within # reasonable time Mr. R. moved that the papers be recommitted to the committee, with instructions to make @ more condensed report. The Presiaent said the motion waa not in order. Mr. Binpsait proceeded to wnnounee that the com- mittee had deemed it their duty to report favorably upon the claim of Dr. Vache (conservative) toa seat au di gate. The gentleman was reading the roport, when he was interrupted by Nir, Monell, of Orange county, who claimed the right to interrogate Mr. Birdsall, which Mr jd would enable the convention tw understand tho ouse wore speedily than inthe ordinary way. Mr. M bid. ity of interrogat when he was interrupted by Mr, Rathbun, of aga, whe called him to order. Mr. R. objected to any such proceediog as that contemplated by the gentleman from Orange He pronounced it unpariiamentary, and decidedly out of order, The Parsivent decided that the point of order raised was uot weil taken, ‘The interrogator ‘in commenced, when he was agoin Saterrupted by Mr. John Van Buren, who rose tos point of order; he believed that this duet (which waa precisely similar tothe examination of a witness incourt) was mont ridiculous, aud clearly not \n order ‘The interrogator then, with the concurrence of the requested Mr. Van Buren to proceed.

On motion of Mr. Sravxen the reading of the minutes of yesterday was omitted. hen the convention resumed tho consideration of the ‘case contested between Messrs. Vache (conservative) and Casserly (radical), from the 6th ward in the city of New York. ‘The floor having been conceded to Mr’ Casser- ly, the radical contestant for the seat, that gentleman proceeded to address the convention. He reviewed the evidence on both sides. A recapitulation of the facts con- nected with the proceedings of tha nominating conven- tions when they are not invested with interest would be, in the opinion of your reporter, verbiage; therefore | haverefrained from a very extended account of the evi- denoe adduced by the contestants. During the remarks of Mr. Casserly he gave way at the request of Mr. Doo- little, who desired to ask Mr. C. « question. The Present said that Mr. Doolittle was not in erder. Such interruptions, the President observed, ha caused confusion in the convention, and could not be tolerated. Mr. Van Buasn enquired of the President if he claim- ed any peculiar privileges in that convention for himself or his friends? The Puesipenr replied negatively. Mr. Bray suggested that, if it were not inconsistent with the views of the chair, he hoped the question would be put. He presumed the chair was influenced by the lnterruptions of gentlemen which occurred last evening, and which the gentleman from Albany (J. Van Bi objected to as an unauthorised duct,” ° eee ir. J. Van Bunen called Mr. Brady to order. Mr. pote = suid the gentleman way not speaking to the question. Mr. Ratusun said that if the gentleman who had the floor were willing to reply to questions, the chair could not interfere. It was ut the option of the gentleman SE ci 9 PReswent persi Mr. Doolittle to have been out of often, ing Mr. Husren, of Westohester, appealed from the dec!- sion of the chair. Mr. J. Van Bunun demanded the ayes and noes. Mr. Pecxuam hoped Mr. Doolittle would be allowed to question the gentleman, with his assent. Mr. J. Van Bunen oalled Mr. Peckham to order, ‘The Puxsivent sustained Mr, Van Buren’s last point of order. Mr. CamunreLena protested that the conduct of the President was in violation of parliamentary rules, as re- cognized all over the world. Phe Paxsipent adhered to his decision; the question was about to be taken by ayes and noos, when Mr. Doouirrue disclaimed, and waved his right to question the speaker (Mr. 'Casserly.) At this point Mr. J. Van Buren was observed to ap- roach Mr. Doolittle and whisper in his ear, when joolittle asked Mr. Casserly if he would permit him (Mr. D.) to ask him (Mr. C.) « question, Mr. Cassency replied Mr. Doouit Te was about to put a question, when he was interrupted by the President, and declared to be eut of order. Several gentlemen ro¢ nd asserted in terms that the decision of the President was a gross violation of right and of parliamentary law. ‘The Presivent then appealed to the experienced men in the convention for advice asto the course he should adopt. He observed that he was unacquainted with par- tary rules. Raznun, of Cayuga, observed to the Prosident, in reply, that {t was customary in legislative bodies, when a gentioman dusired to interrupt the person oocu- pying the floor, to address himself first to the Chair; then it was the duty of the Chair to ask the person oc- oupying the floor if he wan willing to waive his right to the floor, to allow the proposed question, explanation, Ke. to be made; if he was willing to waive his right, then the President had no power to prevent the expla: nation, question, &e. Messrs. Crain and Seymour, formerly Speakers of the Assembly, were culled for by the President, bat these gentlemen were absent. Messrs. Camunetena and Cramer concurred in Mr. Rathbun’s exposition of parliamentary law applicable to this case. ‘The Paxsiwent then observed, that it being evidently the judgment of the convention that he was in error, he would abandon the position he had atsumed, and allow gentlemen to put questions to other gentlemen occupy- fe) the floor with their assent. Mr. DooitTee then put his question to Mr. Casser!, ‘The last named gentleman continued at great lengsh when, having made some allusions to this convention, be was interrupted by Mr. Brady, of New York, who called him to order, as casting impututions upon the previous mn croripd of this convention, which could not be to- erate The Paxsipent sustained the poiat of order raised by Mr. Brady. Mr. J. Van Buren appealed from the decision of the President, Mr. Cassenty made an explanation. Mr. Brapy withdrew his point of order. Mr. Van Buren withdrew his appeal. Then. the sident requested Mr, Casnurly to proceed in ond ‘Iho examination of this case was exceedingly pro- tracted; in the discussion which occurred Meiers Ogden, Mitoheil and Brady, severally participated. It related exclusively to the evidence concerning the organization of the ward meetings, and the election of” these con- testants. Mr. Bravy during his remarks upon tb'is case, com- limented the news boys of the “ bloody sixth,” very jandsomely ; he had seen these little fellows attending the ward meetings with the French flag sticking out at half mast, in consequence of their decea sed pantaloons ; he appended their patriotic interest in the primary meetings. Mr. Jonn Van Buren regretted the bias of the majo- rity which had indicated itself in favor of the claims of their friends to seats in every case which been present- ed; he knew the infirmity of humem nature, but he hum- bly hoped that these cases would be decided with some degree of impartiality. ‘The convention was as well aware as he was, that considerable excitement prevailed in the public mind; and they were rs well aware ashe, that some of the cases which had len passed upon had not given entire satisfaction. It was not time, by settling these contested cases in ® way to secure a preponde- rance for the conservatives in this convention, to force nominations before the people of this State which would be repuguant to their wishes and to the interests of the democratic party. He believed, therefore, that the con- servatives would act wisely if they voted in these con- tested cases according to the evidence produced by tho several claimants. Mr. Van Buren then procesded to read the; affidavits, ke , relating to the case, upon each of which he commented at length. Mr. Van Buren was occasionally interrupted by one of the Vice Presidents, (Harris.} Mr. Van Buren at length remarked to the Vics President that he hoped he did not wish him (Van Buren) to supply his (Harris's) want of understanding. ‘The Vice President disclaimed any intention to draw largely upon the mental resources of Mr. Van Buren. Mr. Van Buren continued to disseot and skeletenize the evidence. He said it appeared that one of the wit- nesses, (Layden, @ police officer.) upon the part of the conservatives, was “extremely drunk” when he made an affidavit connected with the case. Mr. Van Buren con- fessed that he was not free from bias in this cenvention, but he avowed that in his honest judgment the evidence in this case of Casserly against Vache demonstrated that the election of the latter gentieman as a delogate was yoidable; it was null, and it remained for this conven- tion, with fall knowledge of the fatal consequences which would follow any unfair dealing, to say whether he should be admitted to # seat, A suarly and complicated and incomprehensible de- bate sucoweded; several delegates were engaged at one and the same time, and the chances of sketching it in any way, were extremely difficult. The question upon the resolution of the committee to admit Mr. Vache, (the conservative contestant.) to a seat, was finally taken by bie and noes. The roil being called, Messrs. Purser and Thomus, of New York, declin- ed to vote, because there were conflicting affidavits from their friends and neighbors, and they could not, by vot- ing either way. tacitly ‘avow that they believed any of the witnesses rjured themselv: The result of the vote was then announced by tho President, when it ‘d that the resolution of the committee to admit Mr. he was carried by a vote of 66 yeas to ouly 49 nays ; thus the power of the conserva- tives is ficmly established. This important result b ing been attained, the convention adjourned till 3 o'clock, P. M.,in order to give the delegates an opportu- nity to dine, In regard to the nominations there are various rumors, one of which is that the radicals intend to drop Vir Flagg, and present some other name for the office of Comptroller, Mr. Hungerford of Jeflervon is without doubt the nominee of the conservatives. The conven- tion has been in session three days, and has not yet com luted its organization. The contested cases from New ork, with the exception of one, have all been decided. One of the cases from Albany bas been decided, the other is now pending. P ensive that if the case now pending is de- cussed agli the radicals, they will withdraw from the convention, and go into convention by themselves ; in view of these facts, | have to say that it i# impossible to determine when the final adjournment of this conven- tion will take place. I think, however, that several days will elapes before its labors are brought to @ close. The tion reassembled at 4% o’clook, P. M., and was called to order by the President. Mr. Flanders, from the committes, to whom was referred the case con tested between Mr. Peter Cagger and Mr. Henry Rector, of the third Assembly district of the county of Aibuny, appeared fn froat of the chair, and expressed his readi neas to make @ report to the convention. Mr, Scnarren, of New York, enquired if it would sot be well to go through with the contested cases from New York befors the cases from Albany were acted upon. Mr. Fravpere (replied that the chairman of the com- inittee to whom the New York cases were referred, had just informed bim that he was not yet prepared to make «report. Mr. F. said he had therefore concluded to submit the reportin relation to the Albany cases, Mr. Finders was then instructed by (he President to pro- ceed. He accordingly asked leave to offer a resolution which he ssid bed reseived the unanimous assent of the committee,that Mr. Peter Cagger is the regular delegate from the third district of Albany, and that he be, there- fore, admitted toa sont in this convention. Mr, Fianvens then read the evidence produced befor® the committees.
