Through the combined instrumentality of lght- Bing, steam and parteverance, our columas are agvin filled to overftowiog with information suitable to the teste of every resder—not the least interest- ing of which is the account of the convention of the friends of Mr. Webster in Faneuil Hail, yesterday afternoon The address appreved of and put forth by this gathering to the admirers of the great ex- peunder #f tho constitution throughout Massachn. sette, will doubtless have the effect of bringing to hiv support large numbers who otherwise would have contioued luke-warm, and perhaps have Femained away from the polls altogether. Deleya- tieps are reported to have beea present from all perts of the State This fact alone proves the extent of the disaffection towards General Ssott, and the determination of those kuown as Union whigs to give their votes for a man of their own ehoiee—one whom they have tried, and in whom they feel that they can place the most implicit coa. fidence. What are the Webster men of Now York about? Do they intend to still remain idle, while their allies elsewhere are doing so much? Gen. Scott, who ison his way to Kentucky, with the alleged intention of selecting a site for a mili- tary hospital, was greeted and serenaded with much entbueia‘m by the whigs of Baltimore last night If his friends wherever he gocs should salute him im the same way they did lust evening, his trip is not likely to be a very comfortable one, although it peasibiy may be eonducive of profit. However, it may be likely that he has taken these things into eourideration He is accompanied by Generale Wool and Lawson, and will return by way of the lakes. A large meeting of the whigs took place near Louisville on Tuesday last, in commemoration of the entrance of the American troops into the city of Mexico. They roasted a large ox on the occasion, whieh probably had the effect of bringing out a great number of persons who wished to partake of some of the roast beef of which the whigs talked s0 mueh in 1840. The democrats yesterday hold State Conventions in New Jersey and Connecticut, for the purpose of choosing Presidential electors. The assemblage at Trenton is reported to have been a great affair, up- wards of ten thousand people being in attendance. The ove at Hartford was also large, and from the unepimity and enthusiasm which prevailed in both conventions, it is certain that the democracy in these States are working with a full determination of e@onquering. ‘The Massachusetts free seilers met in State Con- vention at Lowell yesterday, and nominated Horace Mann for the Governorehip. Among other things, it was resolved that, if possible,when Charles Bumner again moved in the Ynited States Senate for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law, to have a eolleague from Massuchusetts to back him. The action of this convention will be gail and wormwood to the coalitionists. Indeed it will not be surprising if it, in the end, has the effect of entiroly breakiog up the coalition between the free-svilers and demo- erats. The politicians in this city are beginning to bestir themeclves in quite a lively manner. The democrats made their Congressional nominations yesterday. and the result will be found in anothor oolumn. The whigs will hold their primary elections to day. We shall publish full reports of their tranractions to-morrow. The State Alliance of Temperance assembled at Uticu yesterday, and resolved that it was expedient to secure the paxsage of the Maine Liquor Jaw, in order to offect which, they must have both men and mocey. Truly, theee are indispensable novessaries, and the only wonder is, that these gentlemen should have at last made such an important discovery. The report says that there were only about forty men in attendance. The roeult of the recent Maine election bas evidently dampened the ardor of the oold waterites. It has fallen upon them like a wet blanket, and given them the rbeumatigm sv badly that a majority of them do not care about making their appearance out of doors. From Canada we have a ruwor that Lord Elgin has been recalled, and that the post of. Governor General hus been offered to Lord Harris, whose po- litical views are more in consonance with those of the Derby ministry. The Cross of the Bath has been conferred upon Hon. Dominick Daly, and he has been promoted to the Governorship of New Zea. land. Mrs. Williamson, one of those who were scalded by the explosion of the Reindeer, expired yestorday at Saugerties. This makes the thirty-third victim to this deplorable calamity. The steamship America, which sailed from Boston for Liverpool yesterday, only took out twelve thou- sand five hundred dollars in American gold. Asthe British people are receiving large quantities of the precious metal from Australia, of course its expor- tation from this country must now bogin to fall off. By way of New Orleans we have received some late and interesting intelligence from Texas and New Mexico. The cotton crops are reported to have been seriourly injured by worms and rains. A call has been made for an extra session of the Texas Legislature. Much excitement relative to land titles exists in Now Mexico, and it is foared that unless the government takes steps to allay ill feel- ing, a serious disturbanoo will be the consequence But by fur the worst part ofthe intelligence is, that the El Passo Indians have recently killed many emi- grants. Unless active and energetic measures are soon taken to subdue the different marauding tribes, ® general Indian war may be apprehended that will teach from Texas to California. A schooner was wrecked on Lake Ontario, near Toronto, during the gale last Sunday, and all the erew are supposed to have been drowned. Leake ne- vigation sppoars to have boon remarkably unfavora- ble for the last twelve or fifteen months, daring which it fe probable that more lives end property | before him Dave béin destroyed than within the oume period P From ATbazy we learn that one of the editors there bas been fined thre handred and fifty dollars for @ libel upon a Mr. Fisk, who was tarred and feathered by the anti-renters some time ago. Most people would have supposed that the infliction of the last named punishment would have been sufficient, let alone libelling » man afterwards. The fanpiest thing imaginable is the report of the great Vegetarian dinner, which turned out to be no dinner at all, but a very extraordinary affair. For particulars we refer to the report iteelf. We publish many te'egraphic despatches and much other interesting matter in this edition, to which we have not room to specially refer The critical eye of the reader will, at a glance, catch the heads of the most important. In addition to several columns of advertisements to be found on the inside pages, the attention of the reader is di- rected to the following :—News from Cuba, giving an outline of the new system of government tactics, together with the names of suspected persons are rested; the Effect in Nova Scotia of the Reported Settlement. of the Fishery Question; Meeting of Univerralists in this city; Complete List of the Fire Companies, with the Names and Residences of the Engineers and Foremen; Description of New Build- ings in this city; Interesting Letters from Califor- nia, Mexico and Paris; Mining Intelligence, Fi- nancial and Commercial Reports, &c. ® Cuba—Important Movements on Both Sides, We publish in our columns, to-day, some further correspondence describing the present exsited con- dition of Cuba, together with translations from the newspaper organs of the government in that beauti- tiful but discontented island According to all sccounts coming from that quarter, there seems to have been some serious movement on foot among the Creoles of Cuba, looking towards an effort to gain ber independence in some shape or other. The publication ot a clandestine liberal shect, the seizure of arms and munitions of war, the discovery of flags and various other warlike preparations, and parti cularly the arrest and imprisonment of three or four hundred suspected Creoles, including ladies of the first rank in society—all attest the truth of seme conspiracy having been discovered by the governwent calculated to disturb the exciting mili- tary t anquillity of the island. We are, therefore, nformed that the Governor is overwhelmed with embarrassment at the idea of having to dispose of so many prisoners from among tho first ranks of society. He seems to bo afraid to exert the highest rigors of Spanish vengeance upon them, alarmed, perbaps, at the terrible sympathetic feeling which would be certain to be excited throughout this country at apy bloody execution taking place in Cuba, an excitement which weuld also spread itself through the civilized world, and reach pub- lie opinion throughout Europe, even to the innermost cabinets of the Escuriel itself. We cannot doubt, bowever, that the arrests and the imprisonments por- petrated by the authorities of Cuba during the last few weeks, will be sufficient to put a stop to all the attempts at revolution, and to every effort at con- spiracy that may have been engendered, for the present time. Yet the government of Cuba must be acknowledged to rest on a voleano. Such must even be the opinion of the Spanish government at Madrid iteelf. The diecontents of the whole Creole population of the island, arising from the continu ance of the terribly oppressive military régime which has prevailed there, with little intermission, since the time of Tacon, are beginning to make that policy be looked upon, even by the Spanish govern- ment at home, as very questionable, and to make them consider whether it is advisable to continue it longer in the island. Accordingly we learn, from the best authority, that special agents and spocial instructions have been sent out from Spain to Cuba, for the purpose of giving new aud more liberal tendencies to the policy to be followed the present Governor, even in the midst of bis exist ing difficulties. We learn that the Spanish govern- ment has, during the last few months, come to the determination to soften down the seperitic: of the military government, to introduce a more liberal and enlightened social and political system, and par- ticularly to lighten the existing eommerciai rela tions, which press so heavily on the industry of that fruitful and abundantisland. It is probable, there fore, that the high and liberal policy of the late Genera) Concha, which was censured and abandozed by his sudden removal from command in Cuba, has been agnin adopted as the best and only practical method of preserving that island to the crown of Spain, and of inspiring some confidence, at least, in the minds of the dissatisfied and revolutionary Creoles. If it be true, as we have beon informed—and our authority is from the best sources on the peninsula —tbat the Spanish government at home has resolvad to introduce extensive social, political, and oom- mercial reforms into the present system of affairs ia Cuba, it is then possible that a severance of tha gem from the crown of Spain may be postponed to an indefinite period, yet far back in the womb of futvrity. The present Captain-General has been preceded by no personal reputation, military or civil, of a liberal or enlightened type. Un the contrary, coming so rapidly on tho heols of a popular and high-minded predecessor, such as Gen. Concha was, the prejudices in that country were much excited against the new Governor, strengthened and enforced also by the fact that Canedo had only been known in Spain as a subordi- nate military governor, without much capacity for dealing with a new people and new country, imbued with new feeling and new priociples, such he Creolee of late years have manifested in thoir inter- course with Spain and the United States. Gen. Canedo has a very arduous and delicate task With four bundred prisoners in his dungeons, of the highest rank in the island, and con- uected with the first Creole fumilies—and some of thove prisoners of the tender sex, too—he muat feel ply the responsibility of his position, and tho im- minent danger of exercising any severity against them ; not so much from the efect which violent acts towards them might produce on the Creoles und Spaniards, but from the terrible consequences which might ensue fromthe outraged feelings of humanity in this country, if uny unmanly or bloody tragedy wore perpetrated against thore political captives. In this country we have associations, from North to South, numbering probably twenty thousand persons, in the highest and all other grades of society, banded together for the purpose of not only liberalizing the institutions o Cuba by peaceful effort, but, should opportunity ocour, of attempting, at some future day, tho aub- version of the Spanish régime in the island, if re- form cannot be accomplished by any less revolution- ary means. This body of men, in combination with the Creoles throughout the United States, aro watching with the intensest interest every event that takes place in the island, and every aot that is perpetrated by the government, caloulated either to advance their cause in this country, or to excite the detestation of the civilized world. At this moment, the Creoles, through some of their leading non, are preparing manifestoes addressed to the people of the United States, upon the unfortunate condition of the islan?; and are collecting liste of leadors and friends among the American people, for the purpose of keeping alive the absorbing idea of their existence —the independence of Cuba. The Cuban question, therefore, becomes an inte- resting and exciting game on both sides. The pro- sent military government of Cuba isin the orisis of ite existence and ite perpetuity. The great and extensive Creole organization, looking to the indepen- dence of Cuba, is progressing to a marvellous height of influence throughout the United States, and is associating with itself all those Americans of load- ing reputation, influence and character, from North to South, who feel for the wrongs and miseries of Cube. Two hostile powers stand in front ef each other, eeparted only by the waters which rush be, tween Cave Antonio and thq Gage of Florida. In Cube tho power of the government has been hither- to exercised with varying severity—a severity whieh was only calculated to excite bitter hostility to it, and increased the strength of the Creole interest in this republic. At last the Spanish government in | the peninsula is beginning to understand the posi- tion of Cuba, governed by a terrible military régime, although surrounded on every side by thirty or forty millions of people, alive to the interests and welfare of humanity, and rushing forward in the great tide of free and ennobling institations, Tae anomaly of such » despotism existing, surrounded as it is by light, liberty, and even political licen- tiousnese of all kinds, if you ploase, is beginniug to attract attention, and to be studied with some de- gree Of intelligence and interest by the Spsuish | government. Accordingly they see the necessity of relaxing the condition of things in Cuba, and commencing a new system of government, and reforms which recognise social, political, com- mercial, ard religious rights in the inhabitants of the island, Creoles as well as Spaniards. Nothing, therefore, but ® chango of the policy of that yo- | vernment towards Cuba, can secure the conti | nuance of the connection for many yeara longer The necoerity of this change has at length com- pelled the government in the peninsula to begin action in the matter; and accordingly, by the recent arrivals from Europe, we learn that special agents and special instructions have passed over to Cuba, with the view of introducing all the reforms and changes which were projected by Gen. Concha; to restore peace and unanimity to the Creoles of Cuba; to restore their confidence in the old Spanish government, and to liberalize the institutions— commercial, political, and religious—of that ill- fated island. Tor Maine Evection—Tus Rerurnine Goon Sense oF THE Prorie —This election has swept over the State of Maine somewhat like a small tex peat, upsetting everything in its course, produci« avast amount of confusion, and rendering confu sion itself worse confounded. It has baflled the cal culations of the politicians, and driven hem to seu without achartoracompass Letussee if we canavt gsthor something valuable from the wreck. In the first place we learn that the whig party have been utterly demolished in the storm. There were fou candidates for Governor, and the result is as fol lows :-— Crosby. (whig) .. : Mubbard. (democrat and Maine 1s: Chandler, (democrat and anti Maine law.).... 0 TL5L Neal Dow (author of the Maine law,)......... 0 ule It will be thus seen that the whigs have boen cut up root and branch in tais election. The two democrats have between them noarly 40.000 votes, while the whig vote amounts to noar!, 17,000. Theee figures of course settle the Pree. dential election vote in November, as the whoi 40,000 democratic vetes will then be given to th: democratic candidate, there being no- collatera’ issues or disturbing cauces to afleet the resuly Even if Neal Dow's 692 votes should be givea the whigs, it would not do them any good, for ou of the 57,425 votes polled, the democrats her 49,826, which will give them a large majority Thisis the political aspect of the Maine election. It bas another aspect. Let us look at that also. This is the first and the only 6tate in which tl: Maine liquor Jaw has been contested at the poll, On the former occasion, the fanatics carried thing by fright, but a reaction has set in. Thei original man, Neal Dow, whoin they formerly elec: ed Mayor—but never will again—has been no» beaten out of sight for Governor; and thera i majority against Hubbard, the ond mun ths they fell back upon, so that the election is throw: into the Legislaturo—and thus far they have bee frustrated. Hubbard had only 25,000 votes—th combined votes of the anti fanatical democrats—an the whigs amount to 51,500; thus giving a majority of 6,500 ugarinet him. Ttisaverred that there is uisjority for the law in the Legislature. That re wainsto be tried. The tide is turnod, and it wil be seen whether the majority is not merely nominal ond whether it will not go with the crowd when ii comes to the pinch. The majority of tho people by ‘a pressure from without,” will soon change the mojority within; aud we would not b eurpriced if the present Legislature should repea the law as soonas it mects. The anti-‘anatical party have dene very well for the fim#t time. They bave given fourteen thousand votes to Chandler, and thus defeated Hubbard, who had not the mo ral courage to follow his convictions in opposi tion tothe law. The next time they will not only defeat the fanatics but carry the State themselves The aurest indication of this iz, that the ‘Peter tho Hermit” of the cause—Neal Dow, the author, origi nator, ard champion of the liquor law—has been utterly routed, left “‘no where,” the very first time that the enactment has been brought to the polls Tf the question stould be tested in the same way in the State of New York, the same results will follow. and the fanatics will find themselves so distanced that thoy will not know where they are. Lot them try it in any other Stato, and the good senso of the people, which always comes out right at last, will teach them a similar lesson. Theee various ‘‘iams,”” that start up from time to time in this community, may dazzle for a moment, and evon lead many astray, but they are coon destined to be extinguish: ed, one after another, in utter darkness, leaving no- thing behind but a very disagreeable odor. Tox Secession Nominations ix tur Soura.— Governor Troupe, of Georgia, has been nomiaated for the Presidency, and General Quitman for tho Vice Presidency, by the secossionists of South Caro- lina. This party ie gaining great force, and it is possible it may largely contribute to the throwing of the election into the House of Representatives. There are now the six following nominations ia all:— General Pierce... Democrat General Seott. ‘ - Whig. Danicl Webste Union whig. JP. Baie... reeroiler. Willem Goodell ‘ rey man, Governor Troupe........ +++ Becossionist If the secession party make a good fight, and eo. operate with the tickets of the North, they may svoceed in preventing cither of the old party organi- sutions, unless they aro very strong, from having a majority, and the decision would thus have to do- volve upon the House of Representatives. In that event Pierce will be sure of hia election, for thero is a mpjority of democrats in the House. Thus is he doubly armed, and in every possible contingency the triumph of the democracy scoms certain. Grorora Fon Wesster.—We are informed thet a distinguished Georgian, who has recently made tho tour of the State, says that a large majority of the whiggs, at least sovon out of ten, in that State, aro for Wobster; and that if a ticket should be rua ia the Northorn States for him, there is a fair prospsot ot securing him the vote of Goorgia. Now, thon, do the friends of Mr. Webster in this city intond to prove their professions of sincerity in his behalf, and their professions of respect for the constitution- al rights of the South, and tho oonstitutional course of Mr. Webster on the slavery question; or do they intend to show to the South that all theso late profeesions were humbug, and go for nothing? The time is not far off when they will bo required to join either a Northern abolition party, or a Northern Union constitutional party. Why not now, when they can do something to vindicate the courte of Mr. Webster, and rebuke tho anti-slavery trickery by which he was 60 uncoromoniously ejeot- ed from the Baltimore constitution? Why not nowt Has not Mr. Hiram Ketchum some important infor- mation in his possession concerning the Webster movement in Goorgiat Why not act upon it? Why not now? United States Cireult Court.

TheGrand Festival Dinner of the Amertean information we have received, we are led to believe the city has narrowly escaped another Astor place masescre. We learn that the oyster house critics and the prowlers and hangers on of the press, form- od a onnepiracy to get up a riot like the Astor place tragedy, at the serenade given to Sontag, in order to injure the new candidate for the favor of the ’ ' musical public of New York; and that those parties engaged the very same ruffiens employed and paid by Stevens the jeweller, a pretended friend of For rest, to creave the riot at Astor place, ta * aor to put down Macready. That the last ifair did not turn out like the frst, is not due sq much to the dis- | position of the rowdics, or to those who hired them, asto the good senso of the people, who retired from the ecene, and eft tho ground in undirputed possession of the rioters. It was an atrocious attempt to crush a stranger and & woman upon ber landivg on our shores—an artiste | of the highest resp ctability and distinction, whose private virtues aad professional fame ought to pro- tect her from insult, and command the respect of all clases of the inbabitants of the Empire City of the United States. We bouet of the civilization of this | country and its progress in the fine arts; but the | moment that an illustrious artiste comes among us | to promote and gratify that taste for the highest order of musical compositions which has grown up among us in recent years, she is wantonly in- sulted, and stoned almost to death, by a ruthless mob, hired and instructed for the occasion. What will the lady say of us on her return to Europe? Would eho not be almost justified in setting us down as barbasians? But we trust that she possesses suf- ficient discrimivation to distinguish between our peaceful and order-living citizens and tho hand‘ul of bullies whose existence is a disgrace to our insti- tutions. It is true that their toleration for the preeent reflects more or less dissredit upon all classes ; but it is the District Attorney, who will not indict and bring them to justice, who is respon- sible for all the outrages they commit. We trust that the day is not distant when, under better aus pices, they shall forever be put down, and be only known as a blot upon our history that we would have gladly effaced. Tne Henry Cray Cavamity—VERvICT OF MAN- SLAUGHTER AGAINST THE Accusey.—The Grand Jury of the United States District Court have found a bill of indictment for manslaughter agaiast all the parties charged with causing the death of nearly seventy individuals, by negligence und misconduct, on board the steamboat Henry Clay. Every mem- ber of the Grand Jury was present at the rendition of the bill, so that we must presume they were unanimous in their conclusion. The trial, we uu- derstand, will pot come on before next term, as the District Attorney (Mr. J. P. Hull), who, in his offi- ciul capacity stands equally between the people and the acensed, does not deem it just to press on the case without giving time to the counsel for the do- fendonts to examine the bill of indictment, and pro- pare their defence. We have no desire to prejudice this ease one way orthe other; we expect, we implore, we demand that a fair and impartial trial shall be accorded those who are indicted. We know that judicial wiedom and impartiality between the accusa- tions of the living and the feclings created by the wholesale immolation of the dead, will be displayed ard administered by the judge who is to preside at the investigation. There will, no doubt, be a strong feeling of sympathy for those that have been sacri- ficed, and a commisgeration for those that are ve cused. Yet there must be a full, fair, and impat- tial invcstigation; the defendants must be tried by sworn testimony, and not by public prejudice, which would at once condemn them. ‘Justice must be done, though the heavens should fall.” Vegetarian Soclicy, The following adveriiwm~ og pypeared in the news pepe seatay, Feptem| r of the American Vegetarian hinese Assembly Rooms, Wed- M. ‘Tickets $1, at Fowlers & Ur, 131 Nassau street, In sadition to this announcement, a dinner ticket was sent to the office, with the ollowing note of invitation:— Sxrremaser 8, 1852.

The Governor of the pro Vinee had not resigned, and political affairs there were about as quict as usual, Theatrical, Nioro's Theatrr—Browne’s First Arrrarance,—Nib- los was crowded last evening, to bid welcome to the ortis'e who, during his last visit to this country attained to such popularity for his comic performances, but more ecpecully for his inimitable impersonation of Robert Macaire--(we mean Mr, James Browne ) He very judi- ciously seiceted for his debut the same amusing though tragically ending comedy in which he has reaped his brightest laurels both here and in Great Britain. He was greeted, on his first appearance, with most cordial and continuous applause; which did not subside for some minutes. It seemed, from his personal appearance, as if it were but the other day he had sustained the same réle before a New York audience. There was the identical old coat, with its rents and patches, and the torn handkerchief pendant from its skirt pocket; the faded pants, which had once been something of @ sky blue, the old white hat, and the large snuff-box which had such an influence over the nerves of Jacques Btrop~a chatac- ter which we may s6y, cn passant, was most humorously und effectively rendered by Sloan. Browne performed Robert Macaire, the audacious and self- possessed villuin and convict. 6 only bimself can do, his acting being highly appreciated and spplaaded by bis audience. At the fail of the curtain, Browne was loudly called for; and having come out and bowed his acknow. ledgmente © the compliment paid him, he addressed the audience, expresting bis sincere thanks for their favors, “ After # lapse of ten years,” said he, “ Ircturn among ‘ou, and are received by you as if I had never left you, ou have aseuced me egain to night of the friendly feel tug you enteriain for me and which you have thus far eber- jobed, Ubough but iil deserved. (Cheers.)

(Applause) [hope soli to meric your favor though I am perfectly aware that my powers are depreciated ; but still Lam received With so much kindness a aseures me that yoo nave for. given the want of energy Which @ period ot ten years Tunuiterte in me. (Applause) All my withes and all my endeavors eball be to merit the favors you have so lib r- aily showers upon me this evening.” ‘This modest address was much admired and applauded, though the audience could not discover wherein the ac- tors powers bad failed. but considered him ss unaecoss- rity depreciating his own abilities, Mr. Browne repeats Robert Macaire to morrow evening. To-vight Mademe Thillon concludes her engagement at Niblos with a benefit. in which she will appear in her exquisite delincations of Marie and Stella, in the operas of the “ Daughter of the Regiment’’ and “the Enchant- 0n8.”" Personal Intelligence.

Dr. Nicrrovs here interrupted the gentleman. He sald there wasa certain order to be observed, and after that he might apenk. He gave the next toast. and called upon Profereor Muzzy. of Cincinnati. to speak to it. 4, Homage to the illustrious men of science, naturalists, and phys ts, who have born witness that vegetarianism is the hatural diet of man, To Linneus, Everard Home, , Cuvier, Professor Lawrence, Ray, Gassendi, nbe, Bell, aud all faithful interpreters of the of cures of diseases, particularly dyspeptic diseases feom vegetable dict, and said he was cured himself at fifty yeursof age. and was in good health for the last twenty years, He wasat one time attaoked with intermitvent tever, and bis doctors advised him to take animal food when recovering He did vo, and it was makiog him worse.

He thea went on to rhow how arnch more economical it was to live upon vegetable then animal tood, and that thirty- three times the population of the globe could be fupported on the vogetariun principles, He believed it was well known that those tribes which lived exclurively on flesh were stupid, aud they hed all seen that men who bad eaten large flesh dinners could not count five.

The result of the d-Lberations of this body seems to have given but little antituction to the democratic party, Not copteat with thei eucorss at the primary elections, effected by such di-gtvc-ful means as the introduecion of voters from other wards and repeated voting, and the like. some of the leaders of this movem+nt who were dele- pates although in an inrigoificont minority, actually succeeded by means of & privat~ caucus in controlling the action of the convention. The cundidates before the convention were :— neme Covurt—Robert H. Morris, Thos, W. bert Emmet West Kiting &e. enon Cournt—Emmet, Clerke, Peter T.

The ruccesstul candidate for the Supremes Court had in the convention but ten vores before the additional num~ ber were bargeined tor by the caucus; bat they were iwertared by Mir Clerke’s ood Mr. Emmet’s friends. om promises of eupport from those gentlemen for the Supe- rior Court. By that means Mr Morris was nomiaated on the second bullo. over Emmet and Clerke. whose friende Were lull-d into inaction by the caucus bargain. But on the Superior Court balloting, quite apother state of things becsme apparent. The couvention stood divided in tbsee pert+—ihe caucus men about equally divided between Kamet and Cierke, aad the delegates who ucted ind+penaent of the caucus voted for Cutler. 8o they votea through all the five ballotings. It was evi- dent that the friends of Eamet and Clerke had beer. completely out muneged. or * sold,” by the Morris men ip the caucus. Both there gentlemen bad proposed themselves for the Supreme Court, bat were withdrawn by tbeir respective frieuds on the faith of the doubie-faced promise above- mevtiored; and it war ovly in this way that Morris auc~ ceeded over Clerke. who had trong claims for the Sue preme Court, Mr Cleske’s friends, im @ body carried his name into the Superior Court balloting: aad Emmet, tuking fifteen of (heir votes that would otherwise have: gove for Cutler toge her with his caucus friends. also. made a stand; and pot till after che fifth ballot, when the friends of Cutl-r, who heid the batance of power. chaaged theiy votes in faver of Emmet wus the nomination made, ‘Thus far the caucus succeeded and so until the last candidate for Maine Court was vamed. when. by the bold stand of a delegate from the Nineteenth ward and others, the coulition was broken up. and Mr Pbi lipsnomiaated. It ia to be hoped thut this is to be the Inst exhibition of thie kind in # jodicial convention in the city of New York, We have nothing to say at prevent sbout the re- snective candidates, ‘They mxy or may not be judicious nowinstions—they probatly #re not the most competent or acceptavle panes that were presented to the conven- ion—but it is the eysiem by which the convention was formed, and by which it wax governed. that we wish to bold up to the reprobation of «li houest men No one can doubt that the ruling spirits of the convention were pecked men; no one cau deubdt that the whole action of the convention, with the sole «xception of the nomina*ion of Mr. Phillips, was predestineo by these packed dele- gates. and that by the will of a emall mivority of the do- lvgater, by the muchinstion: of a petty clique. perfooted by mesus of ditugepvous promires in caucus, and en- forced by w rica roce in-tead of the independent ballot, in convention, tbe ticket was made out. comtrary to the rense of the convention and if any relianee is to be placed on the murmur, ofthe bangers on at Tammany Hall contrary to the wishes of the party at large.
