The different delegations have kept up thelr plotting throughout tho morning with great vigor at differen Placer—some at their rooms at the botels, others at th) State Houre, and ono county at the Temperance Hall. A 11 o'clock the Camden delegation came marching through the streets, led by a band of music and carrying three banners. The first was the American fleg, with a wreath of roses on the upper end of the staff, within which was fastened a stuffed rooster, whore feathers wore the ap. pearance of having been ruffled in the anti-Lecompton contesta, The second banner had on the front side “De mocratic Oamden Association,” in largo gilt letiors, and on tho other, ‘‘Organized April 10, 1850.” The star-spangled Danner brought up the rear, They marched up State treet, round in front of the Trenton House, dowm Hano. wer mireet to the Market House, there disbanded and pro. oveded to their quarters at the Lafayette House, Long before the hour of 12 M. the delegates commenced rnshing to the Temperance Hall, and at that hour the ball was crowded to overflowing. Confusion reigned everywhere; tt was with the greatest difficulty that a person could elhow his way through the crowd. The friends of the different candidates hung on until the last. At twelve o’clock Hon, Charles Sitgreaves, Ohairman of the Siate Committee, fealled the assembly to order. Col. Wm. C. Alexander, of Princeton, was elected temporary chairman, who took bis seat amidst applause, and Hon. J. ©, Raffity, of Huntington, and Mejor Cuaningham, of Essex county, secrotarics. ‘ On motion, the delegates from each county were autho- rized to @elect one member to act as a committee to select permanent officers of the Convention, and at the same time report rules for the goveromcn: of the Convention. The counties beiog called, the following persons were se- Jeoted to act cn the committee :— Atlantic Co., Wm. Thompeon. Middlesex Oo. , Dr.F. A. Hant, Bergen, Daniel Holsom. Monmouth, J.’ Patterson, Suripgton, Geo. Black. Morna, D. W. Delegaa. mupien, K. 8. Jenains. Oveaa, 8. 0, Duanam. soe Muy, R. F.Bimond. Pasauic, J. Agnew. ‘umberland, James Stiles. Satem, J.

Naar. se Mr. Vannarta, of Morris, then moved that a committes of one from each couuty be appointed on resolutions, and the different delegations select their member of that com- mittee, and that all resolutions referring to = democratic platform be referred to tnat committee without debate. Colouel FartaR moved to postpone the resolution until after a permanent organization. Mr, Vawnarta thought ib bad policy to postpone the matter until after the contested seats were decided, for ybat would delay matters and prevent the early comple- tion of the labors of thie Convention. He thought the business of this Convention was of more importance than '@ little locai quarrei ia 4nesex county, ‘The motion to postpove eras then laid upon ihe table, The resolution, being amended wo that the Chair ap- point the mewoer {rom Sussex county, was adopted. Toe feilow'ng were appointed said committee:—D, Towns:ud, J. Van Bunt, N. Harper, R. J. Jenkios, 8. R, Magon'gua, J.'S. Were, J. D, Meeker, J. R. Sunderland, Wm. F. Broar, A. P. Chamberland, A. P. Bryer, J. T. Field, R. S. Green, A. Backell, J. Vaunatta, J. M. Taylor, W. Riley, J Cambell, Wm. Price and J. Vier. The counties were then calicd to ascertain if the delega. tions were full. ‘ The Cuam announced that Atlantic county was entitled to eight delegates. A Voica—We bave nine present. The CusiR—Atlantic county is evidently full, (Laugh- ter. the counties were all gone through with by rotation, when it was ascertained that nearly all the delegations were full, and Sussex county, which was entitled to thirty- one delegater, had double that number. Mr. Vaynatra then moved— That inasmuch as there were two sets of delegates from Suseex county, and both representing democratic princi- ples, and eager for the succees of the democratic ticket, the only difference between them being which county or- ganization was the correct one, be it, therefore, Resolved, That both delegates be admitted, and that the majority of the delegates cast the vole of the county. That motion touched a tender point. Cries of “No, no,” were beard In every direction. . Duyn Excuisn, of Bergen, getting the floor, said that he objected to that resolution, because it sacrificed a principle. He was opposed ‘to admittiog a double delegation here to become a bone of contention in this body. He considered it utterly impoasinie, trom the tone of the two delegations, to even get a majority to vote ope way. It woula bea straight thirty one on eaco side until the end. The resolution was then laid upon the table. AGxEsTIEMAN then moved that a committee of five be appointed by the Chair to take into consideration the Sus- sex county difficulty, A Voice—What for ? Szconp Voice—Because they can attend to it better than one from each county. A Voicr—That is democratic with a vengeance, The mo}ion was then aid upon the table, A regolution was then adopied appointing one from each county as a committee on credentinis, excepting Bassex. ~ ‘The committee was then appointed, when the Conven- tion commenced wranglt sdout a new hall to meet in, ag this was to crowded that the delegations were unable to get togetner. All sorts of motions were made and laid onthe tabie,as usual. Tbe rutes of the iast State Conven WOR Were acopted #8 the parliamentary rales of this boay unt) Oiher wise Ordered. After Kote raiidom discussion on various subjects, the Committee oa Permanent Organ‘zavion made taeir appear- ance, aud 1 ported the following list of permanent offi- cers:—-Presiaent, Colouel Wai.

Tne report being accepted, the Preapgnt came forward and eaid— GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—It was a great pride ‘avd gratification to bim to be again called upon to preside over the deliberations of the democracy of New Jernaey. Ho was gratified to see the same cordial reception that bad greeved bim upon former occasions. We have aseem- Died in circumstances of peculiar interest, and amidat trials that will test the wisdom aud sugacity of the demo cracy of this State. They had assenbied, not to taaugn. rate any vew movement, but to carry out the tims honored principles of the past. They were called upoa wo bury all personal feeling and to lay ail grievances oa tne altar of our common good, and strike one more blow for the democratic party sod the coun:ry. Let us show our opponents that we are linked together in banos of ewel, and are prepared to burl cack fanaticism 86 we did in the campaign of 1856. Let us go into this contest With confiaence in each other, with faith in our prin ples, ana euccess would crown our efforts. Yhaukiog tue Convention for the honor conferred upon him, he wok his Seat amidst great applause. ‘The rules of the convention of 1853 were reported by the committee and adopted, whereupon ine following persous were placed in nomination tor Governor:—General E. V. R. Wright, of Audeoa; T. 8, Aerring, of Bergen; Alezander Weriz, of Hunterdon; C Skelton, of Mercer; J. C, Pous, of Trenton; Garret Sykes ana Charles Sitgreares. After a few random resoluions, the Conveution ad- jovrned until balf-past two P.M. At the mention of Wright’s name a pertect hurrah was raised, showing that he had the hurrah boys on his side. AFTERNOON SESSION. At 2 P, M. the delegates vegan to roturn to the hall, and before the hour adjourned to arrived the room was again uncomfortably crowded. The gathering of the delegates was enlivened with music from the Cam- den Band. At 2:30 P. M. the Convention was calied to order by the President, whereupon the rules of the morning Conven- \ion, a8 reported by the committee, were read by the Seoretary. On motion the courty of Atlantic was set down as nine votes instead of e'ght. Warren county asked the same thing, but her claims were voted down, ‘The Committee on Resolutions then made their appear- ance, and reported the foilowing resolutions, through Mr, Vannatta, their chairman. The resolutions, during their reading, were greeted with frequent applause, and were adopted without a dissenting volce—Lecompton, Anti- Lecompton and all, swelling in the cry of “Aye:”— The democracy of New Jersey, by their delegates in Convention assembled, re-adopt and declare anew their acherence to the Cinciunati piatform and to the great democratic doctrine of popular sovereignty, covstituting their coctrine as understood by and interpreved ia toe democratic Convention of this State, held in August, 1856, snd as interpreted by President Buchanan in bis iet- ter accepting the democratic nomination for the Presiden- cy, in which he eaid, The receat legisirtion of Congress respecting comestic slavery (meaning the Nebraska Kan sas act)derived, as it bas been, from the original and pure fountain of legitimate political power, the will of the wa- jority, promiscajere long to allay the dangerous excite- ment. This legisiation is founded upon the principles, as ancient as (ree government itself, and, in accordaace with them, hus simply declared that the peuple of a Territory, hike those of a State, shall decide for tuemselves whether slavery sball or shall not exist within their limits, Keeolved, That we upqualifiedly condemn the doctrine of that rectional portion of the opposition who insist that siavery sbould be excluded from the Territories by Con- gressiopal prohibition, because Congress bas no power, under the conetitution, to enact any such prohibition—be- cause such @ prohibition would be an unwarrantable and toexpedient intert-rence by Congress with tho domeetis affairs of the people of the Territories, and oecause ali efloris to evact such @ probibition endangers the perpe- tuity of the Union, and destroys the amity and fraternal feelings which should exist beiween she people of the neveral States composing our glorious and cherished Union. Resolved, That while we thus coydemn the republican doctrine of Congressional probibition, we with equal em- condemn the doctrine recently started und now zealously advocated by extreme men, that slavery in the Territories should pe fostered and protected by Uon- gressional legisiation We condemn it, because it is violative of the fundamental principles of self govern ment, and wrong and unjust in itself, tending vo vio- ‘ext ‘sectional sgitation, unfriendly feeling and dis- union; ana because {t is in direct violation of the Ci I the pledges made by the demo.

Atter the adoption of the platform, the Committee on Credentials not making their sppearance, a random d's cussion took place about increasing the representation of Union and Warren counties in accordance with their basis Of one delegate for exch one hundred democratic votar cast in their respective localities. The votes asked for were allowed. The Commiitee on Credentaais here made their appear. ance, and reported, through Mr. Slack, their chairman, as follows:—He said that the committee bad beea in session a'l the time since the morning adjournment of the 0oa vention, and had heard a representative from each side of the contestants, aud had found that the difference betwoen them was a question of veracity, botn sides claiming that their local organization was the regular one, and each de claritg the otber as bogus. By way of compromise, the committee would recommend that both sets be admitwd into the Convention, and that the votes of the delegation be decided by the majority Of the delegates in each town. abip, and to cast in all thirty-one votes.

By forcing this vote they would strike at the root ofthe party. He was in fsvor ofm compromise when principle was not ut stake, Mr, CHANDLER, » member of the committee, said that be did pot hke to bave suspicions thrown upon the action of the committee. rhe question of fact referred to was merely whether both of the county ‘commitiecs of Sonex county acted regularly or not, both claiming to be regular.

The same person moved reconsider the vote allowing them seats in the Conventiou. Tats stirred up tne tire atreeh, and it burned witn great fury. Judge Ryensoy, of Sussex, tried to got tha floor, when hisses and cries of “Put him out—sut tim out,” were heard tp every direction. Tne State of Caméen and Am boy was in un uproar generally.

Ae doubted if Mr, R. had voted the demo- cratic ticket for two yeurs. It wag impoeeible under the confusion that reigned to report one half of the thousand noises that arose ail around; but the cry of ‘*Rule them all out” was uppermost amongst the tumult.

A few minutes travel informed me that it would drift = considerabie distance to the south of Crawfordsville, ag there was a slight breeze below drifung it in that direc- tion. I pulled the valve of Jupiter and followed, and f00n overtook the mail. We kept pear together all the way down, ag I could regulate tne descent of the balloon to the deecent of the parachute, aud both the wriel ma- chines landed within fifty feet of each other on the public road six miles south of Crawfordsville, their descents bee ing very slow. SOHN WISE. Lancastak, August 22, 1859, z ‘The Ring. GREAT EXCITEMENT AMONG THE FANCY—PROSPECT OF A MATCH BETWEEN THE BENICIA BOY AND TOM SAYERS, THE CHAMPIONS OF THE AMERICAN AND ENGLISH PRIZE RINGS—AARON JONES PAYS FOR- FEIT TO SAYERS IN THEIR MATCH. ‘The sporting fancy of New York have been in a high State of excitement for the last few days, in consequcace of certain circumstances having transpired which render the long and ardently desired match between Juos 0. Heenan, better known as the “‘ Benicia Boy,”’ the present champion of the American Prize Ring, aad Tom Sayer 5 who hoida the same position in England, almost a muir of certainty. It will be rememoered tha: sow six months ago ihe Benicia Boy, who haa besa disappointed in getting on a match in this country after bis defeat by Morrissey, and the subsequent retire- ment of the latter from the ring, boldly threw down hig cartel of defiance to the transatiantic champion, and chal- lenged him to fight for any sum from one thousand doliara to five thousand dollars and the champion’s belt. This cer- tainly appears at first sight s rash proceeding, as Sayers bas fought some twelve or fourteen times in the ring, only suffering defeat once owing to went of condition, while the Benicia Boy had only once fought a regular prize battle, in which he was defeated by Morrissey. Bat Heenan possesses natural advantages over Sayers Which, in the judgment of his friends, more than com- peneate for the greater experience of the later in the prize riog. He stands neariy six inches Digher than ‘ayers, and in weight is fully forty pounds heavier. He '8 @'sO & much younger Man, and porsesses great muscular power and activity, as well as a fair kuowiedge of tha ecience of eifdefence His chalienge was duly des- patcned to England, but, owing to the ignorance or neglect of his business agent in this city, the neceasary cagh forfeit, without which’ ad ring challenges (which are conducted strictiy on the cash princi- Pie) go for nothing, was not sent at tho same time. The delay consequen: on this stave of affairs seemed. likely to prove fata! to ine Benicia Boy’s hopes of a match, for before the mistake could be rectifled another Aspirant for pugilistic honors appeared in the field. This wag Aaron Jones, who had previously fought and been de- festea by Tom Sayers, and who had visited this country for the exprees purpose of training the Benicia Boy for hia Sight with Morrisey. After that event Jones had visited the Southern States, and at New Orleans he found an in- fluential sporting friend who was willing to find the “gimews of war’ and give him apother chance to the ttrels he bed last to Sayers, as the ion of Champion of = land, Riss sicesead therefore, immediately ontersi to match Jones against Sayers for tbe usaal sum of one ‘thousand dollars and the champion’s belt, aad in a business hike spirit remitted to the usual stakeholder the entire ‘mount, Atthat time Seyers had no less than three matches on hand—viz: with Bill Bepjamin, Bop Brettla und an upknown. The first named bas already been de- cided in his favor, while the fight with the second named Will be decided on the 2cth of next month.
