MANIFESTO OF THE SOFf SHELLS. Address TO THE DEMOCRATIO REPUBLICAN ELECTORS OF TH STATE OF NEW YORK. The undersigned, members of the State Central Committee, just appointed by the Demooratic State Convention, all ot whom were preseut during the action and deliberations of that body, as members or witnesses of its proceedings, deem it their duty to call attention to a single fact, which marred tne otherwise patying unavimity and harmony of that body, and to repel a calumoious and unfounded charge made against its members. ‘The majority of that Convention, deeply impressed with a desire to maintain the unity of the demo- cratic party, and feeling themselves imperasively in- structed by the democratic masses to make all sicri- fices of persoval feeli: g or interest that might inter- Tupt or in any way endanger its harmony, and thus imperil the cause and its great principles, assembled at Syracuse, determined to maintain the most fra- ternal feelings towards all the Tepreseatatives of the democracy, and to carry the spirit of conciliation to the utmost bounds of concession that could be de- mavded of them by avy portion of the party. The eense of the magnitude of the interests at stake in the approaching contest, not only in the national administration, but in the policy of the State, now absut to assume, under a constitntiona amendment the complesion of the canals, incroased this feeling of solicitude. They felt that they would be held, therefore, justly reprehensible, if trom any tenacity in their preferences for candidates, any hesitation as to the avowal o: their principles, any want of a spirit of union, they had ASE just cause of resentment or of alienation to apy portion of the delegates commissioned to act in that body. It became painfully evident, however, etal the meeting of the Convention, that there was on the part ofa small minority of the delegates chosen and of others not delegates. acting with them, a foregone determination to prevent concert of action, to break up the consolidat organization, and to produce lienation and discord, with a view to an ultimate secession from the Cenvention, and the defeat of its candidates, The Convention was called to meet in this city at 12M., on the 13th of September. There was no fur- ther designation of a place, but-the muvicipal authorities of Fyreaite had assigned the large room of the City Hall for the meeting, and had provided a pees force for the preservation of order. This had n, for several years, the customary place for the sittings of the Democratic State Conventions, and was ample and convenient. The usual announce- Bane of the place fey Bonnar meee was made in je papers e city and by Is. ees poeta d however, on the morning of the Convention, that several delegates, assembled in caucus, by the advice and instigation of others, not members, had determined not to meet at the Cit; Hall, but at some place to be thereafter designal by Mr. 8 Cc n of the State Central Com- mittee. Without ra ‘izing any such authority in the Chairman of the Central Committee, Messrs. Richmond, Ballard, Potter and Herrick, also mem- bers of that Committee, waited on Mr. Story, and informed him of the Homey impression that the meeting was to be held in the City Hall, aud of the ss aoe that had been made for the convenience ani order of the Convention. Mr. Story de- clined to recognize the C' ey or to give, any information in regard to where he and friends would assemble. Mr. Story was informed that a quorum of the State Com- mittee were in Syracuse, and were desirous of uniting with him in the designation of a place, but Mr. Story declined to meet the Committee. It was not tilla large are, of the delegates were assembled at the City Hall, a few minutes be- fore twelve o'clock, that they casually learned that a handbill had been just then posted, signed by Mr. Story, naming Brintnall Hall asthe place of holding the Convention. Apprehensive lest a misunderstand: ing on a minor point might mislead some of the de- legates, and anxious to preveat any estrangement m such @ pretext, the majority adjourned to rintnall Hall, and entering, found a comparatively small body of delegates, and a number of perzons co- operating with them, there assembled, under closod dcors, in an insufficient room, aud inadequately pro- vided for the meeting of a Convention. They took thew places in the room. At the hour of 12 M., Mr. Story read the call of the Convention, aud: culled it to order, and nominated Ira P. Barnes of Chenango, for Chairman, put the question and declared it car- ried. The Hon. John B. Skianer, of Wyom'ng, was can eee moved as temporary Chairman, the uestion put by the mover, and declared carried. th nominees ascended the platform together and assumed the functions of Chairmen. [or tne purpose of ascertainmg the sense of the Convention, as to which of these officers was the choice of the majori- ty of the delegates, it was moved and unanimously carried, that, as in gimilar cases, in former Conveu- tions, tellers should be appointed to call the list of delegates, and enable them to signify their prefe- repces. Mr. Skinner appointed Mr. Madden, of Orange, and Mr. Barnes, Mr. Grant, of Oswego. To facilitate this preliminary business, the Convention unanimously authorized two temporary secretaries to be appointed—Mr. Becbe, of Tioga, by Mr. Skinner, and Mr. Russell, of Ulster, by Mr. Barnes. ‘Tbe roll was then called by unanimous agreement, and the delegates and contestants responded. hand- ing in their credentials of claims to seats, and having their names duly inscribed on the roll. Every dele- gate or claimant was heard, the rights of all equally recognized, and the proceedings conducted through- out with entire unanimity, and without any expres- sion of dissatisfaction, or any complaint, other than arose from the insufficiency of the accommodations of tre room in which the delegates were assembled. The proceedure was the only mode in which tho true character of the convention could, in avy way, be arrived at with any degree of fairness. and was the ‘ity Hall as the place of gut Fectogne , or to parents ‘or taking care of pupils in She vecencles. “Address Lr.

This order of business being tuus completed, Mr. Ward, of Westchester, moved that—the list being completed, and order restored—the Convention take @ recess till 4 P. M., which was carried. At 4 P. M.the Convention re-assembled at Brint- nall’s Hall, the majority of delegates being po and all the officers chosen during the proceedings o! the morning takiog their places, except Mr. Barnes, who had been designated as one of the chairmen. A ittee was appointed to inform him that the Convention awaited his attendance. After an ab- sence of haif an hour, the committee, through their chairman, Mr. Mabbett, of Dutchess, returned and informed the Convention that they had found Mr. Barnes closeted in a room in the Globe Hotel, appa- tently acting in a meeting there assembled, and that he had handed the Chairman of the Committee the following communication, in writing :— I bave beon watted upon py Jamon Mabbett, Esq, of Dutebers, requesting my atrendance at Brintnali’s Hall ‘to act ap presiding officer in conjangtion with the indivi- dvul who claims to have been selected for that purpose. My reply is, that myeelf acd friends do not conside- our lives in safety in an swemblage controlled and overawed by bullies, imported for that purpo-e, and therefore re- +pee'fally present my compliments to the persons there sprembled and. decline Participating further therein, Very reapectfully yours, KA PY, BARNES, optember 13, 1463, This was the first intimation the Convention had of the existence of ep or even disorder, or of confusion, such as to interrupt the progress of its business, We do not hesitate to pronounce the assertion false. The charge was a libel on the character of the Convention and of the city in which it was assembled. It was equally an insult to those who made it and to those from whom it emanated who must have known that they would have found protection at the hands of the majority, and the large and respectable audience in attendance against any violence threatened or intended. No menaye of that character had been made. The pretence was the last excuse of a smail body of delegates and others, rag bore a secession fromthe Conven- tion; and ita ity and frivolousness are the con- clasive evidences of the absence of all jast and rea- sonable grounds, in the action of the majority, for dissent or estrangement, Up tothe time that this announcement was made, there had been, in truth, no division in the Con- vention. The two delegates named as chairmen were tegen! without dissenting votes, and had co-operated together throughout the proceedings. The two tellers and the two secretaries, unani mously appointed on the nomination of the two Chairmen, had acted fserber. with entire good feel- ing in perfecting the list of delegates. Ninety-eight uncontested delegates had presented their creden- tials, and been enrolled a+ members. A Convention had thus been formed whose right and duty it was to choose a chairman and proceed to pass upon the contested seats—a body whose known respectability and character for firmness and {eatice, ‘and whose nearly equal division among what ad teen the former sections of the party, were a guicient guaranty of thei impartiality and intogri- ty of their decisions and of their disposition and ability to maintain ordec and repress violence or menace, in tho b ita which they wore members. Upon the vote for adjournment there was & momen- tary disagreement; bat this was removed by the concurrent declaration of the two chairmen that the motion was carried. No question as to candidates or measures bad been raised, and tne rights of no delegate or claimant of a seat had been disregarded or in the slightest degree prejudiced. Nothing had arisen to inspire a doubt of the fidelity of any mem- ber of the Convention to the terms upoa which the soreanization of the united. democracy had been formed in 1849, and upon which in the succeediag years it bad been consolidated. The Convention, thus fairly constituted, then pro- ceeded to elect Johu B. Skinner, of Wyoming, tem- porary chairman, who received sixty-four of the votes of the following uncontested delegates, whose names had been duly entered upon the roll as such, at the forencon session of the Convention, to wit:— 1, Bopjamin F Sayre, 1, Martian Grover, Albert Edgerton.

Smith and Sutton united in the regular coa- Mica and, by consent, the latter cast the vote of the It will thus appear that Mr. Skinner was duly elected temporary Chairman by a decided majority of the uncontested delegates of the Convention, and that the subsequent proceedings by which Mr. Grant was wade President, and the ticket headed by Ro- bert Kelly, for Comptroller, nominated, were in all respects regular and authoritative, and the record shows that sixty-eight delegates, who were uncon- tested, acted in ‘the Convention ot which Mr. Grant was Chairman. There were thirty-one delegates oe whose seats were, there is every reason to be- ieve. wrongfully contested, with a view to ultimate secessitn, making the whole number of delegates regularly elected and acting together, ninety nine, leaving twenty-nine seceders out of the fall number. The refusal, as hereinbefore stated, of a minority of delegatesto return to the Convention after the re- cess, under circumstances revealing so much had faith and such falsity of pretence, was the consum- mation of a Somapleasy, long. formed to_break down the democratic ty Inthe State, and to reiustall the dynasty of Sewardism, and by swerving Now York from her place in the national democracy, t> strike the first blow at the administration of ["rank- lin Pierce. The evidence of such a combination on the part of certain professing democrats with the leaders of the most unscruputous section of the whig party, bad been made manifest in the course of le- islution, aiid in the action upon appointments at bapy last winter, and it was distinctly traceable in the conduct and tone of the two organs of the com- bination, the Albany Argus andthe Albany Evening Journal, nomivally antagonistic sheets, a3 in concert, and stimulated by motives of common inte- rest to destioy the ascendancy of democratic gov- ernment, both in the State and national administra- tions. Against such a conspiracy, revealing itsclf under such flimsy disguises, and pretexts of suca transpa- rent falsity, we invoke the demooracy to put forth all their accustomed energy. Treachery in disguise has sometimes temporarily perilled the democratic party. Open treason has always been impotent against it. Its purpose now can be defeated and punished, if the unterrifled democracy of the Em- ire State but put forth their hands to crush it. The factious politicians who have presented a ticket in opposition to the democracy have, toa great extent, for many years past given aid and comfort to, or directly voted for, the whig ticket. Their separate organizations, withdrawing from them that recourse will probably not mach disturb the proportions parties, while it will enable the democracy of the nation to see how inconsiderable in numbers and how desperate in fortunes are the men who at this day, in the midst of universal democratic success throughout the Union, raise here the cry of disaffec- tion and set up a standard of disunion.

(From the Bosten Journal, Sept. 16 } The murderer, John Chapman, has_been arrested. We learn that last evening a Mr. Twitchell, bro- ther in-law of Chapman, went into his barn, about a mile from the houge of Mr. Cozzens—which he had reviously searched—in company with one of the lec‘ren and three or four other citizens of the town of Sherborn, and called the name “John Chap- man.” In answer to the call Chapman came from bis hiding place in the loft and descended to the barn floor, when he was immediately secured. Be- fore leaving the barn Chapman swooned three times. He admits that he called at the house of Mr. Cozzens and told the story about the younger Cc zzens being thrown from a wagon, but he denies striking the fatal blows. Chasman remained under guard during the night, and was probably conveyed to the jail in Concord this morning to await an ex- amination on the charge against him. At the time of the murcer Mr. Cozzens had $2,475 in his house. His age was seventy years. ‘This morning Mrs. Cozzens was in a very low state, and it was not expected that she would sur- vive gfe the day. Her deposition has been taken, in which ehe res that John Chapman was the man who came to her house about half-past eight e’clock on Wednesday evening. and informed her that her son Eli had been injurcd by being thrown from a wagon. Chapman, whose given namo is John L., it ap- ars had concesled bimeelf in the barn of his brother-in-law, Mr. Benjamin Twitchell, without the knowlodge of Mr. T. or apy of the family. When he surrendered himzelf he was without hat or shoes, and his clothes were very wet. Hoe declares his innocence of the murder, and charges it apon an unknown companion, at whose request, as he says, be called Mr. Cozzens. ‘be scene, when be was brought into the presence of bis sister, Mr. Twitchell’s wife, last evoniag, is represented as being moving in the oxtreme. Chapman was taken into custody by Deouty Sheriff Bannister, who conveyed him before Justice Lorenzo Sabice, on a warrant charg og him with the murder of Reuben Cozzevz, but examination was post) until Tuesday next, at 9 o’clook A. M., when it will take place in the Town Hall, Framingham Centro.

Dickinson. What purpose the writer sought to serve we are at a loss to divine, but that he meant to sink Mr Dickivson in the es- teem of the South, is evident from the nature of the article, unless it be unwarrable to infer a marderous intent from a savage stab at the very szat of life. Be the blow, however, the stroke of a ‘elon or a friend, it is not the less incumbent upon every Southern man, and especially upon every Ma , to inter- Rose in defence of one who did not shrink from the lefence of the South and Virginia when they were assailed by traitorous hand3. By every een of gratitade and of honor are we of the South bound to sustain Daniel 5. Dickinson, under any circumstances and agatost any foe. When an a’tempt is made by our enemies to strike him down because of bis services to us, the obligation comes upon us with irresistible weight. But we do injustice to Mr. Dickinson. It is not to the South only that be may look for protection against the wrath of those who would immolate him becanse of his heroio resistance to the aggressions of abolition. Upon every patriot and friend of the Constitution and the Unien, no matter in what State or section, he has a claim for sympathy and support. It is idle to attempt to impeach the consistenc and honesty of Diekinson’s devotion to the South {t has been illustrated under circumstances which would have appalled any but the stoutest aad truest heart. Mr. Dickinson’s was not that mere parade of patriotism which incurs no risk and renders no ser vice. He struck for the South and the Union at a critics! moment, aud he now suffers the penalty of his patsiotism in exclusion from office and in the as- sassin stabs of abulitionists. We need not recount his services to the South. They may be read in the history of the country. They are fresh in the recol- lection of us ali. Among all the gallant spirits of the North, who in the hour of triat bravely fought for the constitutional rights of the South, Dickinson stood yreeminent, for the absolute devotion 0’ heart and soul with which he surrendered himself to our cause. The South recognived his services at the time by a gushing fervor cf gratitude av univer- sality of admiration such as she has extended to no other public man. His image was on every South- era heart; his praises were on every Southern tongue. if it be allowable to ppocal to so selfish a motive, we might tell the South that her interest as well as her honor demands that she do justice to her North- ernfriends. If we shrink from sustaining such mea as Daniel 8. Dickinson we must prepare to fight our battles alone. There is a special obligation in Virginia to sustain Mr. Dickinson in his struggles with the abolitionists. Bhe bas become in some sort surcty for the conxist- ency aud integrity of his public character. She gave him the highest attestation of her esteem and affection in the Baltimore Convention, by casting her vote for him for President of the United States, and any aspersion on him touches her own honor. She eannot be silent when calumny assails him. In another column the reader will find an article in vindication of Mr. Dickinson, from the pen of one among the most eminent public men in Virginia— one who, himself among the most fearless and faith- ful of the champions of the South, knows how to appreciate the generous devotion of our Northern friends, and who, as a member of Congress with Mr. Dickinson, can attest his noble and self sacri- ficing exertions in defence of our rights.

BOARD THE FRIGATE CUMBERLAND, ke, ke, ke THE The Late Ball on Board tho Frigate Com. be laad, LETTER FROM AN ITALIAN LADY TO MR S1STOR IN NRW YORK. Genoa, Augnat 19, 1863. Here I'am back again im Genoa, my dear friend just in time for the mail. and I hasten to give yeu the best account I can of my ‘rip to Spezzia. You remember I mentioned in my last letter that tee officers of the United States ffag-ship Camberiaa@ had issued invitations for a ball, to tale place om board on the eveving of the 26th. The gentle men whose office it was to issue the invitations were most diligent and pains-takiog, for I have heard of no Omissions, snd people were summoned: frogs * Genoa, Leghorn Florence, Lacca,.and, for aught E tnow, still farther. You can imagine what an effort jt was forme te leave home for three days to attend ball, ba¢-sum~ moning.all my courage I commended the children tow kind Providence, and left Genoa Monday evening. 1 pass over the discomforts of the journey, and the still greater ones of sleeping on the floor in a smalk, second-rate Spezzia inn, for the charming ball has obliterated all disagreeables from my mind. Mondag- night was perfect, the temperature was warm, but not hot, the water smooth and unrnfited, and the moon almost full; but alas! Tuesday merning the sky looked lowering, and there was a dampish wind which foreboded rain. People met in. the little gar den and consulted with each other, and hoped and& prayed for a fair evening. All Spezzia was on tiptoe, and all expectations were raised to the utmost, for the Cumberland has been the admiration of all in her every-day dreas, and therefore was certain to be a miracle of goed taste and order in her gala costume. About seven o'clock the clouds darkeued overSpezaia, and fora few minutes the rain fell ia torreats. One general. voice of lamentation was heard; elderly, ladies groaned over the damp exposure, younger ones-fear- ed they should take the stiffuess out of their mew dresses, young gentlemen lamented the risk incurred. by their snowy trowsers. I felt none of these solici- tudes, but sincerely grieved for the disappointment of the officers, after all their kind exertions. By eight o'clock, however, (the hour for assombling,) the sky was clear again, and boat after boat came and went with its fuir load, skimming ever the water swift and light as birds, the fine, manly, fall- Creseed sailors seeming as much interested as any of the guests. \ When I arrived, (about nine o’clock,) dancing had begun, and no words can give you an ideae® the scene of enchantment on board. The afer gums had all been removed, leaving a noble ball ream; the awning, spread the whole length of the ship, was dreaeed and festooned with the flags of all nations, and the whole was lighted by chandeliess of bayonets and pistols, tastefully arranged with candles. Two broad staircaees led up to the poop. deck, whero were seats and rugs for thevs whe wished to look on, ard at the other end of the ship were raised benches for the sailors, who, formiag « pyramid of blue and white drosses, added. extremely to the effect of the view. Wreaths of green andy flowers encircled the whole vessel, and nothing was. ieft to remind one that the gay ballroom was over devoted to less joyous scenes. I passed over to pay my respects to the Commo- dore and the lady for whom the ball was chiefly in- tended-—the Marchesa Doria, who adds a new.charm to the ancient lustre of her namo by her varied ae- complishments, warm heart and amiable high-bred.) manners. It were vain to tell you of the varinas pretty faces and fresh toilets. The ladies Of the Queen were there, tbe young Marchesa 8, B., the lightest and most graceful of dancers, and the fae Contessa F’., wha speaks Woglish, very prettily; the: sweet, sadlooking litte Marchesa De R., in aa ex. quisite pink dress, and the Marohesa ©., with am independexss fortune of pestis on her neck, (whiter even then they). Ab ont eleven o'clock, when the dancing was going o% with great spirit, there came another smart shower. Such scampering to got below, and suck expression of regret, in soft Italian accents, you conuot imagine. Pcople scatterod about where they couldon the gun and berth decks, which were light- ed with myriads of paper lanterns. The indefatiga- bles danced round the galley, tue sontimentals flirted. m the ward room, and the matter of-facts addressed themselves to ices, cake and lemonade. The rain fortunately soon ceased, the swabs werd actively used, and before very long the light flouncea and white shoes of the ladies were fast drying up the moistare on deck. Later in the evening there was a bountiful supper in the captain’s cabin, which reflected great credit on the head that planned and the handg that cooked: it; and so the ball went merrily on, ly thinking how the wind blew, and I fear fow fair damsels re-~ flecting that the charming officers who hummed sucks pretty sentiments in their cars were married men, with poor lonely wives at home. 1 will wager a good dinner that they all write those same wives that they did not enjoy the ball, for their hearts were far away. I don't know about the hearts; I can only answer for the arms and the eyes. The last ladies loft the ship at 6 o'clock; alt the girls determined never to marry any but officers, an@ all—young and old—enthusiastic in praising the de_ corations, the music, the suppor, the reception, all and everything. As we rowed from the ship we turned back to notice the beautiful effect of the many lights peeping out from the dark sides; and I will an awer for it, there was not a person on board who did not long to give three cheers for the Cumberiand and her officers, Our London Correspendence, Lonpon, August 30, 1863.
