The leaders are already on the ground, and the immortal chief of the regulators, Thurlow Weed, has, field-marshal like, commenced his review of the forces. Ah, how fine is the Seward prosyect! Only about twenty- five silver gray delegates have been elected, and half of those from New York ave tainted with wool, Brooks sends word that he is disgusted—that he won’t come, and that if the Convention wants his support they must take “a strong national position—go it strong on all the Compromises, and » to the Baltimore platform. But the Convention won’t do it. The Convention will say since John Van Buren’s last resolutions, the dear people only laugh at such things; therefore the great reunited whig party will not passany resolutions, except one or two pertaining to State policy. We will give the poor silver grays something on the ticket, and then we will carry the State, ‘The Convention promi; lieved that it will be harmonious. es to be a full one, and it is be- The split in the » and plea g to sink all personal con ng the State, and getting the silver gray votes. He is even willl to support, Dan- jel Ullman, of New York, for Attorney General, though Ullman and-Weed are bitter personal and_politinal ene- mies. There are quite a number of outsiders here who will support Ullnan’s claims, and many Seward delegates are favorably disposed toward him. ‘They say they will be “liberal,” and give the silver grays Ullman and the two Judges.’ Some of the silver grays meekly assent, but others are highly indignant, and sey, “—— such liberal- ity!” There has been a great deal ‘of lobbying and but. ton-holding going on all day. I saw Mr. Leavenworth, of racuse, who will be strongly run for Secretary of State, chasing up delegates to-day. There is not so much bustle and loud talk as at the democratic Convention, but there is evidently as much work going forward. The whigs are bound to bend all their energies toward the one object, the securing of the State patronage for the ensuing year. They wil! adopt the canal enlargement policy whole, and phirk from all responsibility relative to the negro ques- tion. So the Sewardites can still swear that the slave is 4g man and a brother,” and the silver grays can go on @aving the Union, and elect the ticket at the same time. Ys not this a charming prospect? Why, it even makes § brighten up, and if we only had’ Badiali here to sing us Vi RAVVISO, everything would be right. I expect to hear Thurlow Weed, however, break out with “Ah! don’t mingle one [negro] feelin; With the bliss this hesrt revealing !” 3 Yove,Marmony, concord, and reconciliation, are beautiful things, and the psalmisxt has told us how charming it is to nee brothers who never break each others heads, but who “dwell in unity.” Let us hope that it will be har- monious to-morrow. The silver grays are generally so meek, and the Seward men so good natured, that I have the highest hopes. Besides all that, since the Democratic Convention, the hotels have raised the price of brandy to tenpenoe a glass, which fact has a cooling influence. People hardly ever harmonize where liquor is cheap, and the same drink which they take to settle matters, gene- rally has the effect to stir them up tremenduously. Convention will assemble at Market Hall, to-mor- row, at twelve o'clock noon. The whole New York dele- tion will be here, with one exception, James Taylor is ‘alternate, and he is here working very hard against Ullmann. However, I am inclined to the opinion that everything will be ‘easily arranged. New York State hay Co} ing for it. ie patronage, and the whigs have a good open- if’ they can follow the advice usually given to Ute boys, and not allow their angry passions to rise, If get on very well. ee city'is full of people, and the Globe Hotel, where I write this, is overrunning with people.

We will begin with the nominations, which are as follows :— .E.'W, Leavenworth, of Onondaga. ‘Ogden Hoffman, of New York. ‘Cornelius Gardiner, of Jefferson, ‘Comptroller, mes M. Cook, of Saratoga.

Pi eae a ee eorge Food, of «New York. viv Joseph Mullen, of Jefferson. Pee topes. is bent, Hat wood, of Livingston. ‘The resolutions are very short. They go in for the canal enlargement and supporting the ticket nominated. ‘There was a sharp contest on the nomination of Attor- sey General. Mr. Ullman was strongly supported by some of the New York delegation. He was opposed by Mr. Tay- Jor of New York, who put Ogden Hoffman in nomination, During the controversy there was considerable confusion, but the President got order after calling for it three or four times. Mr. Hoffman waa nominated on the third bellet, but the motion to make it unanimous was unsuccessful. Mr. Ull- man waa defeated through Mr. Weed’s personal efforts. Excepting this episode, the Convention was harmonious. ‘The nomination of the ticket occupied three hours. There was a sharp debate on the question of appointing a committee on resolutions, which was finally settled in ‘the affirmative. ‘The ticket is all of the Seward stripe except Mr. Hoff- man. The silver ggpys aro indignant, and say they hope the Sewardites will have a good time electing it. The Couvention adjourned at eight o’clock. w. A ry G Canal Commissioner.

SPEECH OF BX-GOVERNOR HUNT. ‘The President was escorted to the chair by Mr. Hawes, ef New York, and Mr. Cameron, of Erie, when he delivered the following speech :— Gentlemon—I receive with grateful sensibility the dis- tinguished honor you bave conferred upon me in selecting me to preside over your deliberations. It will be treasured {n my memory as aim Audditional manifestation of confidence Fog evtonded to me by my political friends and % eererousiy wv. me | aisieiaton, “Wehave assembied, gentieen, for the dis | change of important duties at an interesting eris:* im our { | | public We have but recently emerged from @ na- tional contest, fa which we were over} by superior numbers, It is hardly necessary to recall the inauspiciows events of 1852.

Before entering upon another contest, it may not be unprofitable to refer to the leading and essential purposes which dictated the formation and ought ever to control the action of the whig party. We contend that the spirit of wisdom and patriotism which guided our fathers in the atchloss constitution, rhould be eh its practicably admi= nistration. at the powers of government should be he tly exeented for the benclit of the whole people. That entightened legislation shall be adopted for the tm: provement of the country, for the protection of its in- dustry, the extension of its commerce, the developement of its Varied 1 x, and the moral and intellectual ele- vation of the foreign policy, based upon those iples of justice, moderation, and ra- tional progress, which are destined sooner or later to prevail throughout the civilized workl.

To me, itis intnitely more satisfactory to contemplate the be- nificent aims and measures upon which we hold common iews than to revive the smaller subjects of controversy red our strength and efficiency. In the sceedit gs of this day, let us resolve to take a arture upon the broad basis of union, conees- sion and harmony. The time has come to consider old accounts closed’ and to open a new record. Let us put aside every pretext for internal defection, and draw the veil of oblivion over the personal feuds which have proved so full of mischief and disaster. I trust the language of uccusa- tion and reproach will not be heard in our ranks toward any who honestly intend to remain. within our household and to support in good faith the principles and the candidates of the whig party. The duties devolving upon this Convention are of peculiar delicacy and importaffee. Gentlemen should act under the full conviction that they nate the incumbents of our most portant administrative offices for the ensuing two years. ve it remembered that we have convened to,select a canal board to whom shall be confided the noble’ work of the rgement of the Erie canal, and perfecting the system of internal improvement which has contributed so largely to our prosperity, and made New York the first State in our national confederacy. This great trust must be assigned toworthy and capable hands, Among the honored names that may be submitted for your consideration, it will not be difficult to tind citizens, eminent for ability, energy, and moral worth, uniting those public and private virtues which inspire confidence apd ensure faithful discharge of official responsibility. Tcongratulate you, gentlemen, I congratulate the whole people of this State, upon the cheering prospect before us, The public works,’ which will be pointed to during all future time as proud memorials of the wisdom of Clinton, and the public split of a great and free commonwealth, are to be carried forward to speedy completion. The ‘ignoble faction which for years retarded this consummation by false profeysions, and equally false denunciations, have at last been forced by the power of public sentiment to surrender at discretion, and to adopt, or seem to adopt, the enlightened policy for which we have #o long and falthfully labored. They who denounced a treasonable our efforts to amend the consti- tution, and to restore to the public a just power over their own concerns, have finally assumed our measures, and promised to ald ingiving them effect. But as the enlarge- Tent is emphatically a whig measure, it beliooves the peo- ple to entrust it only to whig ’ agents and repre- sentatives. They will not repeat the suicidal ex- ch some periment of placing the work in the hands of avowed enemies or doubtful friends. Gentlemon, I I trust you will all feel the full weight of the responslbi- ity under which we are acting. Let us rise superior to ali mere personal considerations, and extinguish the last embers of jealousy and resentment. Let us make new yows to our country, and exhibit a generous, disinterest- ed patriotism, worthy of our cause and of the victory which awaits us. BALLOTING FOR CANDIOAT ES.

The brigade then br: from line into columns, passed the General and stall, giving, as they passed by, a marching salute, which being finished the brigad®re-farmed into line, and the follow- ing brigade manauvres followed:—Charging front upon the First company of the First battalion, ‘This mancu- vre was performed by the Keveral regiments with tolera- ble precision, considering that the troops had not been much practiced in this portion of military tactics. The front face of the brigade, by this mancuvre, was brought facing the Fourth avenue. The second manauyre was charging front to the rear on the left company of the Third battalion (Second regiment.) This manoeuvre was not so well performed as the first, one of the companies falling into confusion, but ultimately aligned themselves with excellent precision. This brought the brigade front facing to the north, or brow of the hill. The third ma- nauvre was charging front upon the Eighth company of the Second regiment, which was done exceedingly well. ‘The fourth manquvre was charging front upon the left company of the Third battalion, (Second regiment, ) which was executed with some tolerable amount of confusion. Numerous other manqwuvres were practised, some with passable suecess and others with none at all. The whole of the manoeuvres terminated with the brigade forming into line and breaking into column. Having given the Brigadier General » marching salute, they detiled off the ground and took up their line of march ‘down the Third ayenue to Forty-sixth street, and from thore down the Fifth avenue into University place, where the regiments were dismissed. We omitted to mention that the Third regiment of cavalry maneuvred under their command- ant, and performed several cavalry movements rather sleepily, but nevertheless with good precision. We ob- served several of the ‘file closers,’’ as they are called, (namely, those officers commissioned and non-commis- Sioned, marching on the rear of the companies,) lying down and smoking segars, whilst their regiments were aligned in presence of their colonels and Brigadier Gene- ral, which, we opine, is not in strict accordance with Scott's tactics. ‘Taking the review as a whole it was a complete ‘“‘bosh.’” ‘There was nothing but confusion; and for this the com- panies and their captains were not to blame, but the su- verior officers. It was very evident that the companies had been well drilled; but when they came to act together there was a decided want of unanimity. For merey’s sake, gentlemen, before we have another review let the regiments be well practised; it is very plain, from yester- day's exhibition, that they are not accustomed to manceu- ver together in large bodies, and that to attempt it is al- most an impossibility. Our militia companies are well drilled as companion, but ‘they have not the Practice ot manouvring together; and to expect them a review with the precision of. disciplined Sodies who are constantly trained to all sorts of movements is asking two much of them. ‘Tux Sreawunr Isawnt, of the Charleston and Havana mail line, having completed her repairs, wont down the bay yesterday on a trial trip.
