THIRD DISTRICT. SPEECH OF GEN. HIRAM WALBRIDGE. * Tho Third Congressional Convention assembled at the FWth Ward Hotel, a very large number of the friends of Firam Walbridge being present, The Convention was called together at haif-past seven, ‘Wm. Miner, of the Second ward, being called to preside. From the First ward two sets of delegates were admitted, and were each allowed to present their claims, which finally resulted in rejecting the delegates headed by John Dimon. During the above time the delegates favorable to Mr. Walbridge were outside, and, with their friends, were anxiously awaiting the result of the contest of the First ward delegates. While the Convention was in session a large number of the friends of General Walbridge assembled about the room in which it was convened, and in and around the Duliding. They were evidently in a great majority, as was apparent from the unanimous manner in which they supported his claims to the nomination. They had deter- mined that he should have an opportunity of addressing the Convention, a determination, it is sufficient to say, in which they were completely successful. It was said that be would not be heard, and that the Couvention had resolved on excluding him; but his friends insisted on his having an rtunity of stat the circumstances under which he tas pra ode ryt ies from the Con- gressional struggie in 1856, when he resigned in favor of the present member of Congress from the Thint Con- onal district. Soon after the organization of the vention Gen. Walbridge was informed that they were ready to hear him, The General having entered the room addressed the Convention as follows, and was heard throughout the whole of his remarks with the most res- Pectful attention. {ter thanking the Convention for the kindness they bad extended to him in allowing him to appear before Mhem to vindicate the circumstances under which, in 1856, be had retired from the Congressional canvass in that year, observed:—It will be necessary to briefly trace the political history of the district since }, when the demo- eracy of that district, in common with the democracy of the country, were defeated in the Presidential contest. Bo 1848 the district was composed of the First, Second, Third, Fourth an? Fifth wards. In the Congressional con- test that year four candidates were named—the Hon. Mr. Nicoll, the Hon. Mr. Hart and the Hon. Jodge McCarthy ‘The partiality of generous friends had also named me in ‘that connection. After several sessions my name was voluntarily withdrawn, and I gave to the nominee an earnest and cordial support. In 1850 another contest arose, but I was not a candidate, yet gave to Mr. Hart, the then candidate, a cordial support. In 1852 the Dis- trict Convention gaye to me a unanimous nomination, the prospect of a democratic triumph in the dis- trict eatly changed since the Fourth ward, with its large democratic majority, had been withdrawn, and the ward, with its then whig majority, had been united to the district. Our friends, however, rallied; we went dato the contest with a hearty and determined i$ ‘a democratic administration was to be called into power; the first since the passage of the compromise measures, tn which Clay, Webster and other distinguished statesmen cordially united with the democracy” restoring the coun- to repose. We were successful, and J] was invested the confidence of the Third Congressional district, with a large majority. In 1854 the district passed into the hands of the opposition, when the Hon. Guy R. Pelton was elected. In 1866 the then pendi Presidential Worthy, intelligent democrats had plated the Hon. Mr. D. F. Bicklen yer ‘another convention of equally worthy democrats had unanimously placed my name be fore the people.

Thave thus, gentlemen, called your remembrance to occurrences that transpired but two years since, and yot T understand Mr. Sickles anticipates a nomination at you: hands, in violation of the agreement to which I have re ferred and submitted to you. How so wanton a disregard of faith will be viewed by the democracy , they themselves must decide. In the breast ofa true man life and honor are identical, and the former will not be worth preserving after the latter has departed. Gentlemen, this matter is confided to you; I have discharged a public duty; T have given you the evidence of a solemn engage’ there can be no two codes of morality—one for 1} of a man’s private relations, and the other for the control Gentlemen, while our people are as strongly democratic as ever, they will not, in my jadg- ment, allow injustice to be done. ‘Thus far this fall I have called the democracy of this district together in the First, in the Fitth and Bighth wards by thousands. I have ad dreeeod them on public measures, and they have ratified the State nominations made at Syracuse. I have asked them if it was their desire that be placed in nomination for Congress; of the unanimity with which they have re- sponded it becomes me notte speak. Tt has been cordial, energetic and enthusiastic. You can exercise an im- portant influence in the decision, but the vitality of your action is contingent upon the fidelity with which you represent the popular will. The democratic party can only hope to march forward in its unparalleled career of greatnces and renown, as it sha!l uphold all those cardi- nal virtues on which the perpetuity of society is founded. You cannot expect the endorsement of the people to an act of perfidy either in public or in private relations of fe, General W. then concluded by thanking the Convention for the kinduess with which they had heard him, As he left for the adjoining room, which was densely packed, the most vociferous cheers were loudly indulged in by bis friends who were there in waiting. Immedi- ately an immense rush was made for the Convention; the doors were forced open and the proceedings assumed a belligerent aspect. Gen. Wanuripce rose and said:— Friends—I beg you to desist: the Convention has ex- tended to me every respect. I have presented to them your views, and let us leave them to their own action. ‘Three cheers were given for Walbridge with a will, when the General said: nds, if you will come below I will then address you there. The General hastened below and the crowd followed; there they demanded he should ad- dress them. He stated ne had appeared before the Con- vention; that they had granted an audience, but he feared we should have io fall back upon the people, which were, after all, the only source of power. The assemblage then ‘obstacle, and concentral upon the Hon. Daniel cailed loudly for his nomination, which was carried by ac clamation and every demonstration of applause. The Convention then proceeded to od as follows: , Which result- 22 2 1 25 " ‘Con. vention, after which they adjourned. It was somewhat remarkable that Mr. Walbridge should have received any votes in the above Convention, as they had assembled together with the determination of nomi- nating none other than Daniel E. Sickles; but the voles cast for General Walbridge were simply thrown in to give an impression that he had been a candidate and was ey ‘The Genera! said ‘the people would rectify all FOURTH DISTRICT.

Mr. Maclay was introduced to the Convention and mule a short apeoch, and finally SIXTH DISTRICT. RE-NOMINATION OF TIE HON. JOHN COCHRANE. The Congressional Convention of the Sixth district , com- prising the Fleventh, Fifteenth and Seventeenth wards, met at Union Hall, corner of avenue C and Fourth street, lat evening, and by @ unanimous vote the Hon. Joba Cochrane was re-nominated. Frederick R. Lee acted as chairman on the oreasion, while L. F, Harrison officiated as secretary. A committee of three was appointed to wait upon Mr, Cochrane and inform him of the action of the convention, and in a few minutes afterwards the nominee was ushered into the presence of the convention amidst Jond cheering. Order having been restored, Mr. Cocu- xane addressed the convention in the following manner:— UENTLEMEN—Allow me to return my warm thanks for your actien this evening. I cannot indulge in the usual clap about the honor Fpen me being an un- expected one, for I bad the result you had astembied together, supposed that you would re-nominate me, not on account of any individual merit which I may possess, but because of the course I pursued in Congress. While acting as your representative last winter I endeavored, to the best of my ability, to dis. charge the trust committed to my Of the manner in which 1 represented this d aro the best judges. There were many imp ions before Congress, bot none more impertan: Kanear ques. tion, Allow me, then, to refer y the topic of the Lecompton conatitation. Tho acu of Congress upon that constitution hos been very little understeo.t, and the action of the President not all." The entire subject waa vory little understood. — Not that it was intriente by any means, bat ft wos in consequence of the plans and schomer of riguing politicians that the question was rendered diff! cenit of a clear understanding. I copceded, and it was conceded by all parties in Congrese, that there had been kross frauris perpetrated in Kansas; that one party was as guilly a# the other, and that the usual frands which irevail at our ballot boxer occurred there. The samo in finence | sney: a in Kansas during the elections there as prevail here daring our elections. If we waited fora pe: riod whem those frand® would cease to exist wo would wait for the knell of the Union. IT came to the conciution that under the Lecompton constitution the people of Kan vas had the power of vei! government in their own hands, and that the only way they could have that power was to that constitution. Once aimitted as a State, no matter under what constitution, it did not admit of ques tuon that the people had the power to change of alter that constitution. The doctrine of popular sovereimnty was guarranteed to the people of Kansas by the Lecompton constitution, and no attempt was made by the democratic perty to deprive them of ¢! . Tho Supreme Court of the United States and the fathers of the constitution have deciarod that the poople of the States have the power to regulate their own affirs. The moment, therefore, ankas became a free State under the Lacon ion, Khe could, atthe expiration of ni days, alter and amend that instrumentas she saw ft Al they bere 5 tw the Lecompton Regn & fos oitiey coeeet they the power to el Just as d. Wt Was said that the Legislature would have Reve a Le compton one. Now, we all know that it would have been otherwise. The Legislature, under the con. aftution, war a free State Legislature, as the certificates of General Calhoun subsequently . The free State party would have had @ twothird ma. jority, and could have overruled the veto of any Governor appointed by the federal government, Te Anguet Inst the: of Kansas rejected the Enetich bill, which, 60 far from settling the question of poplar Fors nty , only ki the jon still apen for agita- tien he matter will come ore Congress next session , when there wit! probably be another Fag arte afforded the republican party to shriek loudly in freedom. Tow much better would it have been, therefore, for tho people to have settied the question among themeclves in Stead of sending it back to Congress. T charge most dis tinetly that insteal of the democrate being the enemies of popnlar sovercignty, that no party on earth stands ia the way of that right, except the fepablicnn party. The re publicons to be the champions popular eove: reignty and yet they proclaimed at their last con. ventien at Syracuse that the people bad no right to interfere in such matters—that it belonged toCon gress exclusively, J would not dwell upon the question at such length only I know it is not thoroughly understood In reference to the admission of Kansas, 1 woult say tha I will vote for any constitution she may offer, provided it is not marked by fran, Only let this Kansas question bo disposed of and be set at rest forever, and there will no longer be any 4 of civil war cr dissolution of the Union. It is nothing but the polities of Kansas that is dis turbing the peace of the Union. It is for that reason that T would vote for hor admission, for when admitted there will no longer be any fear of the Union being severed, There are other topies upon which I might dwell, but T deem it proper to postpone them until a more fitting opportunity occurs, The speaker then al Inded to the quarrels among the democratic leaders in the city, and aid the time had come when the people were determined to put an end to there quarrels by making the nominations themeeives. The diflenities which exiated between the different factions of the demo. Hie party proceeded from the gelfieh and ind’ ‘dual mo tives of the leaders. But now the le were taking matters in their own hands, and the result woud be that 2. better men would come to the surface. The day of party hacks and party newspapers was past. Their influence had departed, “Now, the people and the independent ‘Press controled the Union, and gave tone to the policy of our government. On some other occasion he Ww re- view at length the position the democratic party took during the last session of Congress, and his connection with that party as their reprosentative. Ho thanked them cordially for the honor they had conferred upon him, and accepted the tendered nomination with pleasure. At the conclusion of the above address, Mr. Cochrane ‘was enthusiastically cheered and warmly congratulated on his nomination, A committee was then appointed to make the neccesary arrangements for a grand ratification meot- eo at the Cooper Institute, and the Convention adjourned ine SEVENTH DISTRICT. The Convention met at Halpin’s, corner of Ninth avena and Twenty-sixth street, last night, and unanimously nominated Elijah Ward for Congress. EIGHTH DISTRICT.

An informal ballot was first held after which there were one or two other ballots, the whole resulting as under :— James Gordon Benn Some resolutions then discnssed and voted down, after which the Convention adjourned to Thursday at the sume place and hour of meeting. EIGHTH DISTRICT KNOW NOTHING CON- GRESSIONAL CONVENTION. This Convention met at the Monument House, corner of Third avenue and Fifty-sixth street. The committee ap- pointed to confer with the republicans reported, and were discharged, and a new committee appointed to complete the negotiation if possible, The trouble has been that the Know Nothings wish to press Erastus Brooks upon the republicans as the fusion candidate, but the latter, re- meinbering his abuse of Fremont, will not consent to en- dorse him. The following committee were appointed to effect a fusion if possible:— Ward 12—H. W. Taylor, Alpheus Clark. 18—H. A. T. Granberry, Willard A. Fieke. 19—Albert R. Smith, Simon Seward, 2I—J. L.

Owing to the fact of an informal ballot being taken at a previous meeting of the American and Republican Conference Committees, as to which party should have the naming of the candidate, and said ballot being declared not binding by the chairman of the present meeting, the committee adjourned to Thursday week, in order to afford time for consultation with the respective prreene of each party as to what future action should ¢ taken, ASSEMBLY NOMINATIONS.

The race was a very interesting affair throughoat, and gave satisfaction to all who were not too deeply interested in favor of Lady Cudney. The basting previous to the start was about one hundred to seventy. five in favor of Lady Woodruff. First heat—Lady Woodruff won tho inside position, and went of with thé lead, which she kept all around and back to the score, closely pressed all the way by Lady Cudney, and won by a length in 2:38.

Mass Meeting at Cooper Institute—Formation of a New Soclety— Speeches by Peter Cooper, Dr. Chapin, Dr. Schnedley and Others. A mass meeting was held last night in the Cooper In stitute, by the exhibitors at the thirteenth annual fair of the American Institute, which was being holden in the Crystal Palace at the time of the recent fire. Some three or four hundred persons were present, Mayor Tiemann was appointed chairman of the meet- ing. On taking the chair he stated that he understood the purpose of the meeting was to adop{ means for still hold ing the fair this fall, and also for taking incipient stop; towarde forming an American Union for the encourage meng agriculture and the arts. James Bugardis and Thomas Winfield, were ap pointed secretaries of the meeting. John L. Ricker was then called upon to address the meeting Ie spoke substantially as follows :-— SPREOH HY JOHN 1. RICKER. At the request of the committee appointed by the ex- hibitors of the late Fair, t will make a few remarks in re. lation to the object of ohr assembling together this even- ing, and give, as well as the brief time allotted me for preparation will perm't, the general views of the commit. tee, both in regard to the causes that have led w this movement and an ontline of the proposed National Inati- tute. I will endeavor to be as brief as possible con sistent with the importance and magnitude of the sub- ject—asking your forbearance, gentiomen, for a few mo. ments, while I proceed. First, the American Institute ‘was chartered May 2, 1820, for the purpose of (in the lan- guage of their charter) encouraging aud promoting domestic industry in thie State and the United States, in agriculture, commerce, manufactures and the arts, and any improvements therein, by bestowing re wards and other benefits on those who shail make any such improvements, or excel in any of the sail branches, and by other ways and meank as to the said corporation or t the trustees thereot, hereafter men- tioned, shall appear to be mostexpodient. The following, from their by-laws of 1857, shows how they propose to carry out the objects for which they were organiaed — Bee. 27. There ehall be held in the autumn of each year, un. leas otherwise ordered by the Institute, under the directh the Board of Managers, ‘a Fair in the city of New York, em- bracing an exhibition of the products of agriculture, manu- factures, commerce and the arts; a eattle show, under the superintendence of the Committee on Agriculture, embracing: an exhil of pure breeds, and other kinds of useful farm ing stock; #lso, in the vietaity of the elty of New York, an ex- hibition of ploughing, teatin cha and other {arm iinplemen’ ‘@ apading by the Inst . By reference to section 37, we flud that a scientific club for the discussion of subjects relative to manufacture: arts and sciences, may be formed of the members of the Inetitute, to be under the supervision of the Board of Felence and Arta, These extracts embrace the objects for which the American Institute was organized, and by the above it will be seen what its duties are; ulso that it was not organized as a permanent national institute, Now, gentlemen, although Lam willing to accord to the Ame can Institute the praise it deserves for what it has don for the promotion of the cause for which it was or- ganized, yet 1 must speak of facts in reference to the Management, (that have occurred recently) as they alone can explain the feeling of dissatisfaction thereto. It is well known that tho late Fair was abruptly and pre: maturely terminated ou the afternoon of the Sth iustant by the destruction of the Crystal Palace and its conteuts Ra fire, The cause of said fire has not yet been ascertained: it was first discovered in a room in which old patter boxes, lumber, &c., were stored. The hose was imme. diately attached tothe hydrants, but there being no heat of water, and the Palace full of inflammable material, the Names extended with such nnexampled rapidity ae eoarce. ly to admit of the escape Of the occupants with their lives. In one short hour the Palace and the Ls ag the exhibitors was .but a mass of burning ruins. Th: morning of the 9th arrived, and with itcame the exhibitors to get what remained after the conflagration. Some of the machinery was comparatively uninjured; many could have recovered the metallic remains of their machinery, models, &c., in such a state of preservation’ that a ‘little labor expended thereon would have rendered them fit for exhibition. The wands on which the ruins wore were enclosed by « high fj fence, and the gates guarded by policemen; and when the exhibitors attempted to enter, our attaché of the Institute demanded of them the ‘white ticket,”’ which demand many complied with and entered. Now, the “‘white ticket” is the only receipt the Institute gives to the depositor of goods for exhibition, and consequently its delivery to the Institute relieved them of all respon- sibility in reference to the samo, Bat, to pro- ceed. Many of A. a Se the — of their goods and attempted take them away, but the officers of the Institute refused to allow them to take their property out of the enclosure, and although they formnily _proveated agninet the proceedings, refused, pare back their receipts—the agent carryiug away the tickets, and the officers turning the ae justo: the street. This masterly piece of Wah Lactios wre forethought exhibited by the managers ta protect them- kelves and the Inatitute, did not meet with that apprecia tien that fair dealing should, but, on the contrary, met with the auivers#! condemnation of all exhibitors, some of the managers, and, ax we believe, will be viewed with similar feclings by the public at large. fire occurred on » the 6th.

Many articles contd have been re without danger, and some were taken by exhibitors to places from which they could easily and with out have been removed off the ground, whieh they would have done, bad they been permitted, at their own riek. But no! down must come the towers, the ports and other standing remains of the Valace,to destroy what little remained of vaine, The exhibitors pleaded in vain with the managers to <eve their property, and one of the managers who did draw on article a hort distauce at the earnest solicitation of an exhibitor, gave vent to hie feelings by exclaiming that he hopod it would be eturhed in a thousand pieces by the falling reine. In reference to continuing the exhibition, the managers of the Institute were frequently interrogated, a euitable place was offered then wherein to hobl it, by a public spirited citizen, and $509 in cash to pay for fitting itup, &e. The exhibitors geverally desired the exhtbt bition to be renewed, and were Willing to furnish dw soe of the articles they had on exhibition at the je ab the time it was destroyed. The managers were waited on by a committer of exhibitors, and urged to con unue the bition. At last. after several day« (we sup pore) of deliberation, they issued a pronunciamienta to this effect, that they decided, as it w avolve an ex Penditure on their part of $8,000, that it twed inex pedient to do so.

But the first fair that wa ever holden in the city was in November, 1823, in the Arsenal, in Fit street Tao think there is enough lif in the members of the American Institute Ww retrieve it yet with the exhibitors, and I moan to try to get a meet ing for that purpoge.

(Ap. my pride and p ure to see it used t way which shall conduce most largely to the wi fare of the youth of onr city and country. ‘This meeting to-night has for its object ‘the Qxing of public attention upon the importance of a great national institution for the purpose of encouraging the arts, agricultnre and inven- tion—this city being the proper place fot ite location. There ought to be an inetiteton much larger than this, where will be gathered everythin i that will bo instructive or useful to the arts and machinists of our eity and county. I hope it may receive that srecest whieh it merits. It is. a great work, and it will require a comy and systematic organization, Tt will be of the greatest importance that the gentlemen form this or. ganization rbail remember the difficulties of organizing and preserving such an institution free from ths contam: nating influences of politics, which have so often hecome the bane of such institutions. T trust that your organ: tion will take judicious measures to p orve it from the dangers which have afllicted other gocicties—to preserve it to be useful te onr country,*and to promote the arts and sciences, which are so inportant to our advancement and well being. Tt is to the mechanics we ewe the great- est part of the comforts and luxuries of life—it is their jabors that have multiplied the arts and applied them to the offices that give pleasure to us in our houses, in our journeys, in our travels over the world, [trust that this institution which you are snow organizing will give now impetus to the arts and to mechanical ingenuity, wd will reward both those who found it ant those who deposit their works in its care. Dy. SCHNFDLEY next addressed the meeting. He was strongly in favor of a new seciety; bad an abiding faith in Yankee ingenuity, and believed that in whatever region or clime Yankees were to be found, they were always sure on the top of the ladster, REMARKS BY DR. CTLAPIN. Dr, Cnarty, on being introduced to the audience, was vled with great applause. He said he had ived an invitation to speak but afew hours before, anc, wearied as he was by his labors, there was no body of men other than the mechanics that could have drawn bin forth this vight. He could not attempt to make a speech, for while attempting to recommend an exhibition by others, he would make an exhibition of himself. (Langhter.) He was among the hills of Now Hampshire when he firat heard the Crystal Palace haa been destroyed. The telegraph said several persons were burned up in it. He feared calamity for public lamentation, When he learned that no lives had God for it, and he believed that thankful for that in the first Instance, t the woeful destruction of that beautiful Paiace—one of the Most beautiful buildings in the workl—as it sat upon the bill in onr eity like a very coranct. He thought, too, of the men-who had toiled night and’ day over their inventls and could not helt feeling the deepest sympathy for t but it was now almort turned into admiration as he suw them rise again aud take new strength and go forward. (Applause.) That was true grit: that was the Tigi that was the way the vorld’s work that was the way with tho in ventor, feat, he was used to strugglo; when defeated in one ie was need to gather himself up and go elsewhere, It wag all right with the mechanic 80 long as his back bone did not break, he could be dis- appointed, but again and again he would apply himself UN he did eueceod. Dr. Chapin wanted something greater, nobler than they had before, and he knew from the spirit of the audience that it was about to be produced. The highest achievement of man was in his mechanical in ventions. It was the mechanic whose labor produced and moulded the rough work of nature into the fine arti cles of use. They advanced civilization certainly much more than politicians, who represent imore ita history and current impndence. But the real character of the country was better seen among those who produce with the streng arm and sweaty brow. An Ame: rican Union fax the encouragement of the arts, sci ences and investion covld be formed—there was no doubt of it—the work could be achieved, and by the people of New York; for New York—say what you will of it, and country people did talk a great deal about its crimer—Now York was of such « acter that if she ever reeled back fora moment under some misfortune, Fhe was soon up again and al it with head, heart and hand, A yer ago she was wallowing in the depth of a financial crisis; now look ather. The recovery was slow, bat it was healthy, Itis so according to the character of the people of New York, that he knew if they only felt the im fortance of the institution proposed, it would be estal ished at once, (Laud applause.)

THE RU AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE—NoTIING VALUABLE FOUND—ACCIDENT ON THE OROUNDS. ‘The gates leading to the ruins of the Crystal Palace were thrown open to the exhibitors on Monday morning, to afford them opportunity of gathering up what remained of their property from the general conflagration. Clerks, policemen and workmen, the empiovés of the fiir, to the namber of fifty persona in have been on the ground to note, guard and assist the exhibitors. No person was al- mitted to the ruins without showing their exhibitors’ tickets, and tating the character of their property. ‘The same clerks that aswieted during the fair, and who vecu Pied defined positions in the varied departments, erenpied ax near as possible the game positions over the ruins, 60 that when an exhibitor presented bis A for adiniesion he was directed to the clerk of that particular department, who asvisted in the discovery of the spot where had dwindled into ashes the material of many fon’ hopes and the imaginary base Of many glowing fortunes.

Meanwhile a delegate from the American Convention appeared cud announced the action of that body.
