MASS AOAUSETTS OUB BOSTON CORRMSPONDENCE. Boston, Sept. 19, 1852. The Nomination of Hurace Mann— The Causes Thereof, and Supposed Objects of Those Who Made &—Its Probable Ejcts Congressional Nomina- tions, $c. ‘The political world hae been astonished by the domination of Horace Mann for the office of Gover- nor of Maasachusctts, by the free soilers, as itis Sonerally looked upon as about the most suicidal act that could bave been perpetrated. His name had been mentioned in connection with the nomina- tion; but up to Monday Jast it was not seriously bo- Viewed, except by the few who had arrangod the But on Monday and matter, thet it would happen. ‘Tuesday it came to be generally known that Mr. Mann was to be the candidate, and whig stook rose prodigiously, though most democrats still hoped that the report was all a mistake, as such a nomina- tion wouid be a virtual disruption of the alliance between themselyos and the free soilers. But wpdnendiy came, and with it the Lowell Conven- tion, whi iy, by & majority of forty-one, se- icoted Mr. Mann to lead his party to Wate The Causes of his selection are those :—Mr. Mann’s ra- bid doctrines, and the caustic way he has of spoak- ing and » have made him a favorite with tho bulk of tho party he belongs to. Taking advan- tago of this fact, C. F. Adums, R. H. Dana, and Some others of the whig free soilers, who have al- Mee been adverse to the coalition, determined to ' maako use of him to break down Henry Wilson, who was fast overshadowing them all, ani whose work the coalition is. Mr. Mann entered into the iatriguo: for he is not only ambitious, but also hates Gon. Wilson, because the latter saved ‘im from political destruction two years ago, at the time that ho had his famous quarrel with Web- ster, and in consequence had been thrown over- board by the whigs Mr. Maun’s hate for those who injure him is exceeded only by that which ho feele for those who aid him. He could more readily forgive Mr. Wobster for his crushing attacks, than Henzy Wilson for lifting him out of the political glough into which he had fallen through the blind- '@ has always Mees consoquent on his own wrath. ‘condemaed Gen. Wilson’s democratic ideas aad acts, and, therefore, was not slow to get in his way when there was @ chance to injurohim. But, in sonnection with this was something elso, of a more ‘inportant blic nature. Messrs. Mann, Daua, Adams, and their set, believe that Gen. Piorco’s election ia a acttled thing. They believe that as Boon as that fact shall have been accomplished, the whig party of Maseachusotts will at once resume their abolition sentiments, which they put off and on with the ease with which a man glovesor un- gloves his hand. hoy propose joining the whigs, undor sych a state of things, accom- paniod by som twenty thousand free soilors, and ao forming a whig abolition party strong enough to control the State for tea years to come. They say that the whigs will be ready for anything afcer Svott’s defeat; and ZX do not think they are far out of the way. Mr. Mann is too intelligent not to bo aware that his do- sire of a soat im the United States Senate can staad + but a remoto chavoe of being gratified at tho hands of democrats, even if coalitiouists of the straitest sect; but he hopes much from the whigs, from whom he hes never ecparated himself, ho being as good a Scott man aa there isin Massashusetts, and having regularly voted the whig ticket, even on the v ry day that the democrats and free soilers of his dis- trict, aided by some three or four hundred whigs, elected him to Congress over the regular whig can- didate. His election to Congress over Mr. Walley, the political and personal friend of Mr. Webster, wasa matter of rejoicing at the Atlas office, and Colonel Schouler knows whether a man is a whig or not, and would no more rejoice over the triumph of any one but a whig than the Pope would over the salvation of an infidel. The idea of the Mann party is, that the next Legislature will contain a large ma- dority of whigs and free soilors, which majority shall elect Mr. Clifford Governor, and Mr. Mann him- self United States Senator. Mr. Adams is to be sont to the United States House of Representatives from his district by the aid - of whig votes, and through a coalition. Other free soul leaders who are in the plot are to be pro- vided for in various ways, and particularly by ap- pointments under the State government, as the work of reform” will no doubt be carried on with a sweeping hand by the new men who will then be at the head of ailairs. The plot is a very good one, so far, but it may all break down before it can be mado the means of success to its chiefs. The democrats, as a genoral thing, consider the acalition as virtualiyat anend. The few mombors that are left are in ecstacies at the conduct of the ~ free soilera, which has given a sort of dignity to their own action. They were fast breaking up, and coming over to the support of the Fitenburg Convention's nominees, when the nomination of Mr. Mann eame to breathe new life into thom. The ox- tremes have met, and are doing the same work, that ir, restoring the whigs to power. The vote that Mr. Mann will receive will be largo |. —perbaps aa high as forty thousand; but his nomi- nation will have the eflect of converting ail the Webster men into regular whigs, in the hope of reventing his election to the United States Senate. ut in their very zeal thoy may do exactly what Mr. Mann wishes to have dono, that is, bring about. such a state of parties in the Legislature as shall crown his purposes with success. The Webster party was getting on famously, when Mr. Mann's nomina- i ma @ stab under the ribs that is likel, So remarkably well does the free so’ action wgric in favor of Scott and his supporters, that the lief is quite common that it followed from an express understanding between the ariato- cratic leaders of that party and the whig leaders ‘This opinion is #0 far countenanced, that it is a weil |. known fact that Mr. Mann has, in yarious ways, done all he could to promote the election of General Scott. He has been bitter in his denunciations of all those freo soilors who would not support General Boott. Ho did ali he could to prevent the nomina- tion of John P. Hale for the Presidency, as he be- lieved it would give indirect aid to General Pierce. Ho was extremely anxious to have Mr. Chase nomi- mated, soasto make General Scott’s chances cer- tainties. Before General Soott was nominated he labored to bring about an arrangement between our Pelee and free soilers to ee him. He came on here last spring from Washington for that - se, and at one time it was thought he succeed. Hatred of Mr. Webster is the great ing principle of Mr. Mann’s life, both asa politician and asa private citizen. Dr. John- gon, who was so fond of good haters, would hug Mr. Mann like a’great bear, could he revisit the glimpses of the moon. To hate is a necessity of the free soil eandidate’s existence, and his wonderful capacity in that way is coupled with an egotism that causes him to take offenco where none is.meant, and to look upon péople as his enemies who probably never 80 much as d ed of injuring him. To have the op- unity of inflicting an indignity or an injury on awe r, he would consign the whole free soil party to the infernal regions.

The Webster meeting at Fanueil Hall, on Wed- necday, was a highly respectable affair.

Some of them are said “to be Scott men, and have agreed to support the tall hero; but it remains to be seen whether they will re- fuse to serve in the places to which thoy have been prety by a numerous portion of their follow- * tizens. . 7 The democrats of the Sixth Con; ional dis- feiot have nominated George Hood of Lynn, as their candidate. He is worthy man enough, but in point of talent he makes ® ludicrous contrast to Mr. Rantoul, who, had he lived, would have received the nomination. The district is a close one, and ‘the probabilities are that Mr. Upham, should he be selected by the whigs, will represent it in the next Congress. Dr. Beil is the whig candidate in the Geventh district, and will probably be opposed by Mr. Banks, who will bo choson, if the opponents of the Maine law do not actively exert themsolvos inst him.

Massachusetts has boon secured to them, through the folly of their fooa, which is what they had no right to count upon, but whieh has oomo to their rescue.

The opponents of the low claim the defeat of Hubbard as # popular verdict im their favor; while the teoto- tallers point to the Legisiature just chosen a6 evi- depeo thet the law has been sustained. The sup- porters of auch legislation in Massachusetts oxprese themeelves satistied with the rosult in Maine ; but its oppone to make as smashing work amcoe parties here as their brethren did in Maiae, and they will do it. An anecdote is told of Mr. Mana that shows that he is not a very high-minded pervonage, and not quite 60 bold as be would have poople think. In bis speech before the Lowell Convention, accepting tho nomination that body were asses enough ty confer upon him, he made a bitter, insulting, and most undignified assault upon Daniel Webster, comparing the most extraordinary of li Ameri- cans toadesd man, and indulging in other oon- temptible similitudes, proving less his ingenuity than his malignity. Many of the most ardent free soilers were disgusted with it, and the opinion waa very freely expressed, that if the attack had been made provious to the voting it would have prevented his nominstion, which could have been done by the change of twenty-one votes. Mr. Mann saw that ho had madea blunder, which he detormined to reotify, 80 far as he could. He had given the co; vy of his epeech to, or the speech had oem repo by the reportor of the Commonwealth. Mr. Mann hastened to Boston after it, procured the proof-sheets, and struck out, with his own hand, tho moan and unpro- yoked assault upon Mr. Webster; and when those worthies who live upon garbage looked for it next morning, it was not tobe found. In old times such an act would have been called an indirect faleehood— now, I suppose we must call it a gentlemanly defer- ence to the prejudices of society. But then we ail ving no look at all for tho electoral vote of tho respective conventions. Gov. Seymour has | pa. been a tower of strength to his party. They heave always been successful with him. Ho ia the partiodlar friend of Pioros, and is jast ote, Pep pet med the miserable siander and abuse which the Zy:bune, and other of the whig journals, have sttempted to beap upon him. hile the domooratic dates are widely popular and in- fluoutiel, there is vothing about the whig ticket ee will ena aay ore caotamnatie There & great dispari twoen the two both as regards ability and opalnrisy—the toltee of which will have, in a greater or lesa d & con- trolling influeace upon the election. ‘To show the rolative state of parties for the three years, and for the purpose of furnishing data upon whieh to found our present calculations, wo give the vote for President in 1848, and for Governor tho past ree yoa The vote for President in 1544, was:— For Tayi vo BO,BLA “* Cass.. + 27,016 “ Van Bi ++ 5,005 i ly re the vote of 2,000 domooratic no partyists, while Van Buron drow at Teast a theuraad who had formerly acted with the demooratio party, thus outting down matoriaily its vote, without in_ the least diminishing their own.

Our State politics are of late assuming a briaker aapeot Three partios—the whigs, democrats, and free soilers—have electoral tickets in nomination, and ure working as though they all expected to be successful. Mass meetings are being called, Scott and Graham and Granite clubs being formed, and “the land of steady habits” is fast being trans- formed into a great and fiercely contested political battle-field. The whigs are moving heaven and earth, working now much harder than their oppo- nents, Who, with much betterjudgment, are waiting until the eve of the canvass, before making any very decisive movements. The whigs are flooding the State with every possible kind of real and imaginary political currency, and are pulling every wire by which they hope to gain a vote. They have assessed every poor fellow, who is unfortunate enough to hold an office under the present whig ad- ministration, in amounts varying from $5 to $1,000, for the purpose of forming a corruption fund, with which to carry the State. They are working very strongly to get tho Irish vote, bu! their efforts have as yet been crowned with very ill-success. Tha Prlot and Crit axe the Catholic papers most exten- sively cireulated among the Irish here, both of which, between Scott and Pierce, appear to prefer the latter. Bishop O'Reilly, and the Cuthol gymen of the State, are also soid to occupy same position, and ibe prospect now is that t strength of the forcign vote will be thrown for 1 The efforts of that William Robins ng, General Pierce, thus ustrating the hickens, always come home to roost *? he democrats get tue Lies vots, thu State is or their nomiuce in’ doubt. Al- 3 atiout is pow 3 been growing ad w fall ve so, until now, with a fair fi e democracy evjoy a healthful majority. the twenty years just passed, the government of the State has been equally divided between the whigs and democrats Of t farewate nuinber of votes cast for Governor within that period, the democratic exceeds the whig between five and six thousand, thus showing a handsome preponderance in favor of the democrats ; while before that time the State was essentially democratic. Witbinthattime though the State has in every instance voted for the whig can- didates for President, except in 1836, when it gave its electorial vote to Mr. Van Buren. But this is no argument why Connecticut is not going to vote for Pierce and King, but rather one in its favor. When- ever the State has given its electoral vote to cither party, the State government has been ip the hands of that party ; as, for instance, in "36, it was demo- cratic, and voted for Van Buren ; and in ’40, whig, and voted for Harrison. For the past four years— each year by steadily increasing majorities—the popular vote has been democratic, the Legislature, and six of the eight Congressmen. Withinthat time, there have been radical changes over to the demo- cracy. Hartford, for example, that four years a; gave three hundred whig majority, is now good for two hundred for the democrats. Last spring it was claimed the Maine law influenced the result ; but it is not 80, unless in favor of the whigs; Hartford was the only city in the State where, through its in- fluence, the democrats obtained any advan’ 3 while in New Haven, Middletown, Bridgeport, New London, Norwich, New Britain, and many other of the largor towns, hey suffered severely. The 3 gregate vote of the id, will be ive cities mentione: more than a thousand greater for Pierce than it was for Seymour. Thus it will be seen, upon a considera~ tion of all the circumstances, that the chance of the democrats, for Connecticut, is far more than even; that the probabilities are strongly in their favor. This, however, ma; said to be, not so much ow- ing to the unpopularity of the whig candidate, aa to the skill with which they are drilled and managed. General Pratt, of Rocky Hill, who is their leader, is an able and accomplished tactician. Since he has assumed the reins of party government, each suc- cessive year has beheld democratic prospects grow- ing better and better, until now, when the party take a handsome lead of their opponents. — The Whig State Convention in this city wasa sorry affair, at the best. Not half the towns in the State were represented, and no enthusiasm or courage was manifested. The few that were in at- tendance appeared to labor under a prestige of do- feat, and to regard the case as already a fated one. Their electoral ticket, which they put forth on tho occasion, is composed of men who will add no strength to it—mon who were never known out of their repective localities. They are:— Tsaac W. Stuart, J. F. Trumbull, {State at large. First District—J. R. Flynt Becond ‘ Chauncey Jerome. Third “William Fisher. Fourth <‘ ~~ Nelson L. White. The Free Soil Convention, which assembled here last week, was tolerably well attended. The five thousand votes which were given Va Buren in 1848 have dwindled away until nothing is left but the old abolition or liberty party, who will poll in the present canvass perhaps two thousand five hundred votes. The convention placed in nomination a very reepectable eloctoral ticket, composed of the follow- a Bere John Boyd, . Zebulon Brockwa apa at large. First district —Jol Ingraham. Second do. George Read. Third do. ~ William Field. Fourth do. Lewis Beers, Jr. The demoorats held their convention in this city on Wedneeday, the 15th. One hundred and thirty- two, out of a hundred and forty-one towns, were represented. It was the largest business convention ever assembled in Hartford. Senator Toucey, and representatives Seymour and Ingersoll, made pay speeches before the convention, which was characterized by tho greotest enthusiaam. Thero appeared a markod determination on tho faoo of every delegate to c: the Stato for Pierce and King. The electoral ticket isan able and popular one. The gentlemen composing it will greatly strengthen it in their respective localitios, without weakening it in any way. It is headed by :— Gov. Thos.

The whigs of Connecticut, like those of the Union, are fighting against edds in this oontest. General Scott was far from boing their choice; and they will not rally to bis support with half the energy and determination, they would have dono with Webster, Fillmore, or some othor oandi- dato. Pierce, on tho contrary, is universally popu- Jor, aad commands the most enthusiastic support from his party. His friends are at work quietly, though thoroughly, and, as the reeult will be sure to show, succesfully. Ho will get thirty one thousand votes from Connectiont, which will give him the lead of Genoral Svott at least fiwen hun red votes. The Able voto will probably be between twenty-nine aud thirty thousand, and the free soil about two thousand five hundred. The demoorats have never had a Presidential candidate from New England, and the selection of General Pierce they regard agacompliment. Both parties will do their beat; and, as tho battle progresses, and the interest Waxes greater, you bhali hour again from 0. P.Q. g NEW YORK. OUR UTICA CORRESPONDENCE. Utica, N. Y., September 12, 1852. The Result of the ‘Syracuse Democratic Conven- tion—Analysis of the Affair. The struggle for which the discordant factions of the Now York democracy had beon solong prepsring, has at length been deoided on the floor of the Syra- cuse Convention, and by that docision the faithful must patiently abide. Of the outside appearance of that important picce of party machinery, the readars of tho Hera have already had ample in- formation and desoription; but the unwritten his- tory of the movements bohind the scenes would plove infinitely more amusing and instructive. Hyverybody knows that the result is a hunker de- foat—a defeat of the hard-shell hunkers, who alone rep nt, in these degenerate days, the fuith of 148. Everybody knows that this defeat was Irought about snd embittered by the desertion of tome of the leading men in which that faction had for years confided; and yet Low fow have compre- ed the means by which the hunker a a divided—the wires by which the ention was moved, like a vast play-house » at tho will of uxscen oparators * influences, and the cor egatos at in th ted fu convention— 5 mutually host 1, and jealous. The hard-shell bunkers led by Grant, of Oswego, Bristol, of Tioga, and McKeon, of New York; the barnburners, generalled er, of Herkimer, Piper, of Niagara, and of Clinton; and the soft-shells, marshalled arvin and Stryker, of Oneida, Bowne, ot Otse- 0, and Parker, of Delaware, As usual in State conventions, (and it is a fact which | have observed since 1849,) a large preponderance of the talent was upon the barpburner side—perhaps because that faction is more careful in sending picked men to conventions where great interests are to be de- cided; perhaps becauso the Now York city dele- gates, chiefly men of much inferiority in point of acquaintance with the manenvres and tactics of tural conyentions, make up so large a part of the hunker strength. Skill and experience were mainly with the softs, who reckoned in their ranks some of the wily old political stagers who survive the days of the regency--nay, some of the identical ‘‘assas- sins of Silas Wright,” of whom we used to hear so much @ few years ago, and who revive the plots and atrategy of the past, to the confusion of the present generation. 3 The convention, like the revolutionary assemblies in Europe, instinctively divided itself upon the benches, according to its factional predilections. Up- on the right of the Chair—or what might be termed the ministerial benches—the barnburners ranged themselves. The extreme ieft was occupied by the rebellious and intractable bunkers, among whom were especially prominent the New York and Brooklyn members, who, tho frequent uneasinees visible in their ranks, might not improperly be said to resemble the famous “*Mountain” of the French National Assembly or and should the euit pe result, as it ocrtainly ¢ Welch, tho Canal Board—the great fountain of State patronage—will stand next year five barn- burners and softs to three hunkers and one whig.

Certain it is, that thoir force in that gathoring was mainly composed of young men — fiery impulsive fellows, who were forced to compensate by boldness and enthusiasm for what they lacked i experionce. Not but that audacity has its weight in the strife of partizanship, and sometimes succeeds where caution would fore- tell failure. The barnburners were men mostly in the prime of lifo, almost each man an of influ- ence in his own bailiwick—many of them long and well-known in our legislative debates, and hoard repeatedly upon the stump by admiring crowds. ie softs were generally of the oldest men in the convention, and there were among them those who | had ecen a dozen State conventions, and had ruled | | in them all. Ta this noticeable distinction of age, there was a presage of events. e A caucus of barnburners, to which the softs favor- able to Seymour and Church were invited, and which all, or noarly all, of them attended, was held | in the morning, and it was found that but a minor- ity of the whole convention was inclined to partici- | pate in ita deliberations. Nevertheless, a candidate | was selected for temporary chairman, and an effort resolved upon to elect him. Certain steps towards concentrating the strength of those attending the caucus, aa to a vote upon Govornor, wore also | agreed upon. To the knowledge of your correspon- dent, no formal caucus of the hunkers was held, , and thereby they soon found themselves lacking in that concentration and waity which their opponents manifested.

It is a curious question, in our domestic economy, why tho manu- facturo of cottons, west of Mawachusetts, haa proved so unprofitable. Sending cotton to England, and receiving it back again in the shape of goods, involves numerot pping charges, and the inevi- table expenses of nearly seven thousand miles of transportation; and yet, a mill established at any great distance froin tide-water in the United States, cannot be made to pay, The experiment has been fully made, and has, in its several instances, on! resulted in one way.

Soarcely a night passes but that somo one or more of the citizeaa are knocked down in the most public strects. As long asthe present logal condition of affairs is in power hero, this state of morals can never be improved.

Incorrect Telegraphic Despatch Respecting a Whig Meeting in Ohio. When deceived by false telegraphic despatches, I presume you are thankful to any one who will un deceive you. Being a constant reader of your paper, I discovered in the daily of the 11th, a despatch from this place, purporting to give an account of a whig meeting held here. The despatch is dated on the 10th inst., and says:—** Lewis D. Campbell has arrived, and is now addressing two thousand por tons from the Court House portico. Tho Hamilton Artillery have been firing the whole afternoon, &c., &c.” Those telegraphic exaggerations are so common that I should not exposo this, if it wore not for the fact that you had commented upon it in your news summary, and asked ** Why the whigs could get up more snthusiasm in Obio than etso- d ty of his ark he rte, from the purport and flort to get up whig enth m first to Inst, has prove eputch sent you would not be re 48 OHO Tamotely ap- held th a r eight hune GEORGIA OUR MACON CORRESPONDENCE Macon, Ga., August Railroads in Georgia—Comdition of the Democratic and Whig Parties.

The road is to be built to Thomasville, on the Florida line, with branches to Albany, and south to Tallahassee, Mla. This has excited the apprehensions of Savannah, and she, in conjunction with a Belgian land company, is organizing to build a railroad from Savannah to Mobile, Ala., by the way of Albany, Ga , and in- cluding, as a part of their line, Brisbane’s road, wready graded from Albany to the Ocinulgee, and running through the great body of the lands be- longing te the Belgic company.

The whig party are divided into two factions, and have two distinct electoral tickets — one for Scott, called the ‘ and Feathers” tick- et, and another for Webster, called the ‘* Scooters.”” This latter name took its rise, I am told, in a con- vention held in Milledgeville, on tho 15th of July last, hy the constitutional Union party. Tho Web- ster men finding themselves in a minority, and see- ing that the convention would nominate Gen. Pierce, took a stempede and left the hall to the majority. Whereupon a talented and eccentric delegate from Troop county, Col Pryor, in a speech, said-—** My constituents, Mr. President, told me to vote for a third candidate, too, but they did not tell me to | ‘seoot’ because I could not get hi ¥ ers, or Webster men, from this i name of the ‘ Scooters,” or seceders. The “fierce democracy” are also reat in twain, and have two electoral tickets, both, however, for Pierce and King.

Supreme Court—Spectal Term, DECISION BY HON. JUDGE MITOHELL. Seer. Charles A. Giller vs. Azor Hoyt, &ec. Axor Hoyt owned lands in this city, and mor them to the plaintiff. Afterward, on April22, he conveyed them, subject to the mortgage, to Sam- uel J. Smith, who, on Juno 1, 1850, executed anotl- er mortgage, for $1,600, on the same premises, 6o . N. Cobb, which was duly recorded. One Bl dale obtained a judgment against Smith in the Sa- preme Court for more than $7,000, which was em tered in Albany, Oct. 25, 1851, und of whichs team- seript wae filed and docketed in the office of the clerk of this county, Oct, 27, 1851, Blydonb: bow owns that judgment, and it is uopaid. March 15, 1852, Tyler obtuined judgment in this Court against Smith, for upwards of $2,000, whi wax duly docketed on that day; and on’ Matoh 27, 1852, Tyler took ont an order supplementary to em esceution, for the examination of omith, and onjeim- ing bim from assigning any of his property, whidle was served on Smith on that day. Betore Usis lest j went was obtained, Cobb’s mortgage had beem reduced to $1,000, and he had received fron Semi uo promisror} notes of $500 euch, mado by Peok, @ of Suita, a8 collateral security for tho pag- cht of said mortgage, and he gavo & receipt, stas- ing that the notes, when paid, would be in full of the sinount duo on the mortgage. Also, bofere Marob, 1°52, the plaintiff had commenced a foreele- sure of his mortgage, and the mortgaged premises were sold under that foreclosure by order of this Court, April 16,1852, and yielded a surplus of $1,- £99.17 beyond the amount due the plaintiff. Om i] 21, 1+52, Tyler served on Cobb notice af gs against Smith, and claimed s liew On June 2, 1852, the whole purchase money was paid to the Sheriff. On the S:h of tha¢ uonth, Pock paid the amount of the two notes te Cobb, who still holds the money and tho bond aa® mortgage. Leck was probably persuaded by Bly- denburgh to make this payment. ‘Tho judgment im favor of Bloomingdale was made up Sapo 4 sgainst Samuel J. Smith; but in the judgment in Albany, and in the docket thero and in thie county it was entered ag against Samuel T. Smith. On May 20, 1852, the docket here was corrected by order of a judge of this court and of this distriet, while at chambers, but by an order as in court, and Biydenburgb, with his consent, was on that day made a party defendant to the foreclosure suit. Blydenburgh and Tyler now oppose each other, eadh claiming for himself the whole surplus; all objee tions as to the form in which the questions are brought up are waived. It is objected to the judg- ment held by Blydenburgh, that it was not a lien ag against a subsequent judgment ereditor, because ié was not docketed so as to give the true name of the defendant. The Christian and surnames were given correctly, and these for some purposes tate: the whole names. and afterward the error in the let- ter T, which is not a name, but only an initial of » middie name, was corrected by order of the Court, by substituting the initial J in place of T, inthe docket here. The judgment was right, and needed no corree- tion; and as to lands here, it was immaterial how the docket was in Albany. A transcript is to be made from the judgment, (Laws 1840, p. 334, sec. 26,9 not from an erroneous docket, ‘the judges in the first district have power to make orders at cham- bers, as if they were in court; and although the venue was laid in Albany, any Supreme Court jus tice had jurisdiction to hear the motion, and make the order; although, if objection wore made, he should not hear the motion. The order, when made, is the order of the Supreme Court. It is said the order affected third persons. ‘The answer was giver in Chichester vs. Cande, 3 Law, 39-56, that “all amendments affect, more or less, third persons. But if ice requires that they should be made, tbat objection will not prevent them boing made. Stil, the Court would save the right of bona fide purchases and incumbrances for a now and valu able consideration. A judgment creditor for am antecedent debt is not in this class. Thea wha were tho rights of Bloomingdale before Tyler get his order for the examivation of Smith! and rights did Tyler acquire by that order! Aas the most that is contended for, that order gave ae groater rights to Tyler than if Smith thea oxeouted an assignment to him; that is, tt passed to Tyler all Smich's title in avy personal property or rights of action which he had, subject to sag equities or rights Rees Mene Anton lale hed, Op property.
