a THE AUBURN CONVENTION, arr Interesting and Graphic Description of the Affeir by a W wens Sar re otwoen wme Seward and Van Buren Abolivonists on the Lieutenant Guvernursiip, dic. [Correspondence of the Buffalo Advertiser * “AUBURN, Sept. 27, 1854. Ast in my last communication, trouble, sor- row confusion have been the lot of those who have een #0 eager in helping along the unwholesome and erazy abolition excitement out of which has growa the proetecings of this eventfal day—proceediogs which cannot but bring trou! nd disgrace to all those whigs whe have given them countenance and support. From ap early hour this morning it was evident that mischief was brewing, and that the turbulent spirits gathered in ‘Stamford Hell were bound to effect some evil, and were neither to be intimidated by threats or bought up by Feeling their power, y were promises and os; a resolved to use it, and the more nervous and anxious be- came those whore object it was to bend the action of the ecnvention to their own desires, the firmer and fercer ey, the tarvelent Spirits with whom they had volun- rily cast their lot. ‘There were several members of the Saratoga Conven- tion present who shronk from the Tepeeeey of tekirg any part in the proceedings, who did not even to answer to their names when the roll was ealled. Some of these were democrats—among E. A. Maynard, of your city—who since the ss at Sarstoga had become Seymour men, and found selves standing upon a platform diametrically opposite to that which was laid down for the endorsement of the so-called “anti-Nebraskai'es’’—cr as I now should say, ot unruly Ligh oot which they had made themselves and parcel. ‘Their conduct was a humili:ting and tion of the honesty of a large number of those who were the of the pack when @f the convention, and as such, called upon bound lala action; with a fair pect before him of betng cat from the ticke’, he Was at « loss whether to appear, in ‘the ball and to answer boldly to his name, or to shrink out of eight and await the action of the convention. As it was he tock a hind of middle Vist was called a faint ‘here’? jd or rather by the side of the plat- form. Unhsppily the response was not heard by the erk, and that individual with a perverseness, repeated the name in a loud and di voice, and with oes emphasis. But this time he called in vain. A Sevarice funn ann eit nana on was n amidst an svident sensation. ‘When the convention assembled in the afternoon, the resolution which had been under discussion at the ad- it of the morning session was talen up and ‘adopted after an angry debate; in which the bias of members to shor pretty freely. When this was disposed of, Mr. John Snow, of Madison, an abo- Uticnist, took the stand, and after stating that he was anxious thus early inthe proceedings to apply a test which would at once prove the united strength or weak- ness of the convention on the main business to be trans- acted this day, introduced a violent Specaceay Rear img in no measured terms the whig and ratic platforms, declaring the independence of the pre- dent convention of all party tics aad considerations, bat the warmest admiration of M; expressing, however, H. Clark, and the fullest confidence in his lity te the strongest and most sweaping free soil princi; and in his unwavering opposition to slavery, Nort or South. With this “pas seul’? the bail may be said to have fairly opened, and » contra dance |, in which @ majority of the convention took places, and whieh continued amidst much music, if ‘without much harmeny, to the close of the entertain- ment. It would be difficult to describe the remainder of words that would convey any accu- enacted during the afternoon in Stanford Hall The most graphic ly would fail to it oes. 4a] to fidelity the serio comical - tragical performance. The convention, ft was evi- dent, wen about equally divided between whigs and demo- and the fight was to be on the ac option of the en- icket or on the adoption of a halfand half, or compromise ticket. As soon as Mr. Snow had, as John P. tale would say, ‘‘melted away in the fierce fire of his ’? Mr. Jack moved to amend his resolu- ‘tion by res: that the convention endorse the entire Romisations of fhe whig party made at Syracuse, aad de- clere ite intention to adopt and support the came. Again rose upon the floor of the hall, and threw a@ chill over the convention by movi as an amendment to the smendment that the candidates nem- inated by t>e convention bs, for Governor, Myrom Mf. Gark; for Lieut. Governor, Bradford R. Wood: for Canal Commissioner, —— Wheaton; and for State Prisoa In- specter, some other Whose name dae not now eccer tome. A scene of excitement and c nfusion en- sued. There was no pretence at order, and violent decla- mation and fierce denunci-tion ruled the day. Mr. Biodgett, of Genesee, declared his intention the adoption of the whig ticket throughout. It was good enough for him, and he claimed to be as honest and as fearless in his anti slavery views as any member in that convention. he was sperking there was much noice and interruption, and one member, somewhat anx- jum ped up while Blodgett was 9; and bespoke the floor for the next ‘go , tarat, vance. turned out to bes democrat, and he wantei to know what business members of that convention » avorate.thov~adoption of a whig ticket and a whig platform there? Were they ealied together only on a false pretence, and were they to return to thiir conétituents and tell them all the good they bsd done was to endorse whig men and whig measures, and gone over, bourd hand and foot, to that pery—s party which had always been at enmity with @ soil democrats? Christop! Morgan next ad- dressed the convention on the subject of free speech, and, his doctrine being considered sound, he was fol- Jewed by halt a dozen oth all spoke at the same time. we rene orgie — question, and the Previous question, a: yeas nay! ‘@ score ef motions to amend in different ways, half a score ad, foran hour, until the good old chairman, who thumped cn the table and shouted “order” in vain, was in a perfect maze of bewilderment. some person got the fioor and obtained a hearing, his suggestion the motions and amendments were all withdrawn togive place to one upon which it was be. Heved the convention could unite. This motion was then put in due form, ard was “that the convention do mow proceed to nominate a can¢idate for Governor.’” ‘The crazy fellow to whom I have before referred, at this point of the proceedings got upon the rails at the beek of the hall, and in stentorian lungs declared that before this question was put, bh | Francis Grarger put upon the of delegates. That | gentleman had a right to bave a voice in this matter, and ke insisted on that right being recogaized by the gonvention. ‘The proposition was met by shouts of laughter from the convention and lobby, at which the ‘mover eye excited and angry, and declaring thet | he would stay po longer among such a set of ‘‘damned abolitionists ’’ seceded from the convention. This inter- | Inde being over, it was found that the new motion, ia- stead of uniting the convention, was only the sigoal for the rexewal of hostilities with fresh violence. A variety of speeches were spoken, and several attempts were made to apply. the gag of the previous question; but it oul not be carried out, for despite all rules of order, the members would be heard, and the five minute ar- rangement was entirely disregarded. strong. ext Jungs were the victoze, as a matter of course; and ‘the man who could go oa shouting until he had suc- eeoded in drowning the voices of a dozen rivals, was | deemed entit'ed to the floor. The speeches took all | mbader, both rms and in principies. Some went for ‘@ pure whig ticket, others for an eatirely new ticket, in- it of every other, some for a democratic ticket, many for fasion, and all for confusion In the midst of ae are: some secrets, which it would Ahave been well to hide from the light of day, peeped out and displayed their faces to the public. One member, L, P. Noble, of Onondaga, was in favor of a half.and- half ticket—Clark for Governor, Wood for Lieutesant Governor, Fitzhugh for Canal Commissioner, and a | demccrat for State Prison Inspector. In the course of | wanted the name of his remarks be urged the whigs, wh were probably ina | th, ms jority there, to be moderate and generous ia thts mat- ter; and he sehed “if they persis ed in forcing a whig ticket upon the convention, what is to become of the | ree weve by} the pom peor boro ren | ‘the aid expect from ree lemocrats for the and defeat? And what is nearer and tothem, what will they do in the Assembly districts ‘this fall in electing Seward whigs, unless the free soil dem- ‘ecrats give them the aid they have promised ? Another speaker was favorable to the nomination of lark, but he said if the nominstion was male at this point of the proceedings it would prectically pind the convention to a whig tform. if Myron H. was eboren as its nominee before s new platform was laid down for him to stand uzon, he was chosen whils on one which did xot bind him to tavor the repeal of the Fugt- tive Slave law. This speaker reemed to forgst the reso. Jations that bed been adopted at Saratoga. Joveph Biot, of New York, advocated the eadorsemert of the ichet; and he reminded free soil democrats that they did not, 8 some ceeined to believe, yield every ahing without an equivalent. He could assure them thet the feve soil whigs would to a man, in compensation, ful- Boat shan eb deso-son yard A rly, some time since, and go for the re election of every free soil de- ‘mocrat for Congress who had voted against ‘the Nevras- xa Bil. Im his district in New York there was such @ wan, ard he would pledge his honor that ke intenced to capport that man by every means in his power, if he was'a candidate sfor re-siection A treo coil democrat spoke next. He favored tho eadorso- ment of the whole whig ticket, but in so doing be wished | to make an explanation. Some days rince he felt averse to such a courte, because he saw the cloven foot peepit out and began to vmderstand why Ray mond, Greeley pr other whigs bad driven off the nomination of a tisket at Seratoga. Tho fact was, they had been caught in a trap. ‘Had they nominated s fusion ticket at their first meet- ing, they could consistently have called upon the whigs to endorse it. But they had not done eo, they hal lost portune period, and it is no late. Aw the the ect magnanimousiy, no doubt. Another ressca that influenced him was, thet the striking of Mr. Ray- mond off the ficket might elect that incompetent and —— men, William H. Ludlow. He would then have a place in the Canal Board, and uncer his fingers, every person knows what would become of such of ths pablic moneys #8 he could mabage to reach. A still more im- | portant consideration was, that he desired to show the | ‘world, now that there was a great party, of which such | noble men as John P. Hale, William H. Seward, Preston | = Abi Re are leaders, eae ae | ‘wou! o itself a where whiga could alain | Wiliam Jord Seward as their Peat sounding rpeceb in which everything save Simon Pare abe litlesiace was bitterly denounced. The burden of his reparks was that the time had not yet arrived when the true principles of the party could be carried out indepen. Gent of those old parties which bad hitherto swallowed them up, aad it was useless at this time to strogglo ogaimst fate. The best that could be done now should ne accepted with hope for the futu e. Mr. Hale went into the “foul cancer?—“infamous {nstitution’’—“blood- thirsty slave driver’’—‘*banner trailing in the dust?’ busi- ness in right down earnest, and proved teyond a doubt the strength of his lunge, if notof his arguments, When he hed finished, Mr 0, B. Pierce, editor of the Rome Excelsior, on ultra, out spoken temperance paper, was called upet 4 mede a bitter, violent attack upon Henry J. Reymond. He quotei from the New York ‘dames to prove that its editor bad upheld by sophistical and well coosidered argument, the detes'able veto of Governor Seymour. A letter had beer handed him written bv Yeary J. Raymond orable to a rohibitory law; but that letter was writien only on the 25th instant, and being in conflict with his former course, looked very much like fishing for the nomination of this convention. It was also seid that Raymond denied being the writer of those articles; but he was the responsiole editor of +! paper, all the editoris} matter in which he adopted as his own, and therefore he elther believed the veto just and proper, or he used the influence of his journal to spread abroad’ principles which he knew to be unj damveble. This attack brought out the friends of Ray. mond, one of whom replied, and read the letter in ques- tion, in which Mr. R. pledged himself that in case he should be elected, in the event of th» death of the Gov- ernor, and bis consequent accession to the gubernatorial chair, he would favor the passage of » prohibitory law, and would not veto the one vetoed by Governor Seymour, should it he re-enacted. After this, several other gen- tlemen spoke, on different sides—one amiab'e whig in- ue [pony democrats to “come with us, and we will do you It being evident that the tclking would never come to an exd unless some ener, means were adopte to pull me | short, the previous question was put, snd, after a a @ ay struggle, ordered, carried, and ia ad Myron a. lark was unanimously nominated as the ci ite for Governor. The trial then commenced. that nor; others that Bradfori R. Wood be the nominee; and’ smidst a perfect batel of uproar, a motion to take & viva voce vote, and to declare the candidate having the maint ee the candidate, was decided to have been car- ried. ‘The free soil democrats—or rather a 10 ber of them—Leaded by Bullard, then prote: Be po the decision, and their appeal not entertained they bolted from the convention, at the invitation of one of their number, who, in an excited manner, ealled upon all who did not wish to be trampled under foot to rally at the eourt house, at 7 o’clock—it then wazting some ten minutes to that time. The vote was then taken, and Raymond was declared the nominee. Fitzhugh and e were subsequently nominsted for the offices for which they are nominated on the whig ticket. But the most mischievous part of the business had yet to be transacted. Several whigs, Parieg, as they be- Leved, achieved al triumph, left the hall. The abolitionists and fr ats who remained took the FL piv to pass a string of the most nitra resolutions, ey repudiated all the platforms ever laid down by s whig National Convéntion, and declared them not to be dindi on the new party—declared the Fugitive Slave law an iniquity and a dead letter—dened the right of Congress to allow rg ppm slaveholder to reclaim a fugitive rlave who had escaped to afree State—wer almost bio? Mec plank on the Fred pores Garri- sonian platform, and, fina)}y, declered the w! ig party of New York now and forever dissolved; and istened their new organization the Republican party. To complete the ization, a central repablican com- mittee wan ap. by the chair, and committee wae also named to take steps to perfect the business, by such other arrangements as were deemed necéful; and then, 25 aclimax, a resolution was adopted requiring th committee correspond with the candidates put in nomination, and to peguire from them alla distinct ecdersement of the platform! There things were not led without an opposition amounting to very little short of personal violence, nor without cursing and swearing, denouncing end protesting, which rendered tke ball a fect pandemonium ‘the convention then adjourned sine die. A bitter and humiliating lesson is to be learned in these outrageous a prooeedlings but space forbids present comment upon » Uni ply, they caunet fail to work to the fencing to. defeat of the whi ticket. The missbievous clown has applied ‘tho firebrand to the contents of the cauldron, and it will be wonderful if the entire company is not blown to pie What can the candidates do? Will silence avai ma? If true whigs at heart, can they expect honest whiz support un- Tosa they openly and unequivocally repudiate the infa: mous proceedings! What less will satisfy—wha' lass ought to satisfy true whige? But perhaps after all.it is poogperett joes he country thet the time hes come when each politician must show his hapd, and play the e of bluff no longer. - ay bed Obituary. DEATH OF A REVOLUTIONARY HERO. Died, in Windsor, on the 7th inst., after a distress- ing illness of about four days, Lieut. Joun Haata, 8 patriot uf the Revolutionary War, aged 98 years 4 months and 23 days. The subject of this notice, says the Binghamton (Broome county) it, Was. in Massachu- setts, where he continued principally to reside, ex- cepting while serving his country, till November, 1811, when he removed to Windsor, in this county, aud there continued to reside until his decease. Lieut. Heath first evlisted in the United States army at Bethany, near New Haven, Conv., for the term of seven months, but served uine months; then re-eplisted under Captain Wm. Hull, for tha term of one year, and was stationed at Bunker Hill, ad was in the battle at that place. While be was at Bunker Hill the eneny at one time received from the tories in that vicinity a drove of stall fed cattle, which they were pasturing just over a rise of ground, at a short distance from the American encampment, and opposite to where Lieut. Heath, then a private, was situated as a pick- et guard. Heath, upon discovering the cattle, un- able to resist the temptation, left his post, which was within range of the British guns, and went and drove into the Awmeri- can comp forty-teur head of the enemy’s cattle; receiving, while in ihe act, the compliments of the B:itish in the shege of tivo 24 shot, but without ta- jury. Cahearing the report of the British guns, Gen. Washington despatched one of his colonels to Teconnoitre, who met Mr. H. with the cattle, just ag be bad paseed the summit of the hill! Mr. H. related to the Colonel what he had done; tie Colo- nel told him to go along with bis caitls aud he would take charge of his post until he came back. He was absent from his post only about halfan hour. Heath heard nothing more in relation to | his exploit, from his officers, nutil the next morn- ing, when he was summoned to General Washing: tou’s quertera. The General demanded to know of kim how or why he had dared to leave his post ? Mr. Heath replied that he kuew he was guilty of violation of his duty; pnt the temptation was so strong he could not resizs it. General Washington reprimanded him, said he must never he gailty of leaving his post again; that be would excuse him this time, and directe! Mejor Humphrey to tzk down his name, and Hea‘a to leave. In the of that day General Washington sent him vhi nine silver dollars and a hiad quarter of a beef that weighed 1,604 lbs. After the expiration of his second term, he en- livted during the war, under Capt. Charles Pond, and went to West Point, where he was transferred to Col. Baldwin’s Regiment of Artificers and had charge, under a Frencl ber bel of the building of the middle redoubts, oppoe ite to West Point. Al- though frequently offered a promotion to office ia e army, he did not accept one till May, 1783, when he received a lieutenant’s commission. ‘He had com: mand ot the last guard at Fort Putnam. His dis charge was dated tre lith of June, 1783, to take ef- fect on the ratification ot the ticaty of peace. Mr. H. was slways an unwavering democrat. He always insisted that be never had a personal enemy during his life, aud that he had always received the respect of his superiors aud equals, Although Mr. Heath haa regarded himself as an invalid during the last seventy years, yet he bas ne- ver suffered much inconvenience from his diso:der, but has been more ative than most persons of his age, and on Monday last rode several miles and ex- ecuted bis pension vouchers ia his own hand writing; hut he has now “ passed the way of all the earth. Peace to his memory. DEATH OF THE OLDEST INPABITANT.

It re- minds ua of some of the old Roman wor! uch as the ancient aqueduct: which span the valleys of Italy, in their grand and gicentic proportions, more than of an | ordinary bridge overa river. We know of nothiog on | the continent of America—nothing on the continent of Europe—which apace this work in the grandeur and greatness of ita design. ‘The success of the engireer in the building of the Bri- tannia Bridge has fully justified him in speesiny on the adoption of the same plan for the Victoria Bridge, which will be constructed on twenty-four piers, with spans or spaces, forthe navigation, exclusive of the two abutments from whence the tubes sprizg on either side, ‘The centre space or span will be 330 ‘eet wide, and each of the other twenty-four spans will be 220 feet wide. The width of the two piers nearest to each abutment will be fifteen feet, and as the piers approach the cemtre span, the width and strength of easb will be increased until they reach the two centre piers, whia it will amount to eighteen tet. ‘The abutments from which the tubes spring will be each of them 242 feet lon, 90 feet wide, and from the north shore of the St. sence to the north abat- ment there will be a solid ttone embankment of rough th, raised like an artificial rock to resist the current. The stoxe embankment lead- ing from the south shore of the river to the south abut- ment will be half this length, or 600 feet The length of the babel itself, from abutment to abutment, aud its total length from river bank to river bank, will be 10,284 feet, or about 50 yards less than two English miles. The summer average depth of the St. Liwrence, varies from 14 feet rear the centre, to 4 feet near the banks, and the current rune in this yart at the rate of from seven to ten miles an hour. The clear distance between the uxder surface of the centre tube, aud the average summer level of the river is to be sixty feet, and the height will diwinish towards either side with a grade at the rate of 2 in 180 or 140 feet {n the mu! 0 that at the outer or river edge of each abutment, the height will be 86 feet above the summer level On the 24th of July last, the first stone in the bed of the river was raised for the construction of the first pier of the bridge, and now, on the 14th of September ‘Pier No, 1” has arisen several feet above the level of the river, and the process of binding the blocks may be seen and ucderstood. Esch stone of the stracture is clamped toitefellow by bamde of iron, and the interstices are filled ‘vith molten lead and the strongest Roman cement. ‘ike result will be, the constraction of masonry as dura- ble es that of the Coliseum or the Appian Ways, which have withstood the wear and tear of time and traffic for more than 2,600 years, and which will continue to exist Snememerts of the skill and industry of man. Ixless unforreen difficulties arire, the first railway train will pase over the broud St. Lawrence by the sum- mer of 1858. The commercial advantages will consist in the fact, that the Vistoria Bridge will bring into direct communiestion, without break of gusge or balk, the exhaustless products of Canads, West, and of Mict!raa Winois, Iowa, Wise:nsin, and all the Western States o the Union. Reciprecity will have opened the door to internatfona! communication, and the requirements of trefiic will be cheaply and expeditiously met by the iron road, and its tubular bridge. A few sears hence, and this very br will becume one of the greatest attractions to 1 tourist and the traveller. ‘The Colossus of Rhodes, under which the pizmy sbsl- lops of former ages could pas, was esteemed one of the wonders of the Old World.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MONEY MARKET. Sunpay, Oct 1,—6 P.M. e During the pact week there has been quite an improve- ‘ment in the money market without producing a corres- ponding effect on quotations for stocks, The banks freely diecount all the good paper offering, and there is @ great eal of money cffering without takers. The brokere almost any day refuse call Joane, and the amount of capital seeking employment appears to be prester than the actual demand. There is nothing doing in Wall street in the way of speculations, and it is to this inactivity and toa rapid contraction outside that we attribute the rowing wbundance of money. The process of liqui- dation has been going on more rapidly during the past six months than we have ever known before in the same length of time, and as the commervisl an? finan- cial operations of the community become relieved the accumulation of capital must increase, and the effect on the money market must be of the most favorable char- acter. It is the opinion of many very enrewd and expe- rienced financiers that after the first of December we sha)! haves greater plethora of money than we have had for years. No one seems disposed to enter into any speculation; hence the apathy in the etock warket. The dear interest bas been pretty effectually usec up, andcon- sequently there are no sellers. Without buyers or sellers itis utterly impossible to make much show of activity. It is, therefore,not at all probable that we shall realize any improvement of importance in stosks for the present; neither do we look for any serious decline. Quotations generally have touched bottom. It required a series of dis - asters greater than ever before realized in thie country in the same length of time to bring about the present state of things, and weere therefore justified in the conclusion that we have found the lowest depth. Our recovery must be gradual, from the nature of the calamities we have deen afllicted with; but it will be healthy and perma nent, from the fact that no great interest has been en- tirely proptrated, and we have not been deprived of any of our usus} means of progress. Ag yet very few fail- ures have occurred, but we have no doub} more will take place. This anticipation creates no alarm, and as the effect will be wholesome and healthful, we should loolr upon it more as a remedy than a misfortune. ‘ibe outward movement of specie continues active, as will be seen by the annexed statement — SHIVMENTS OF SPECIE FROM THE Port OF New Yor«.
