THE AMERICANS SPONGED OFF THE SLATE, The Canals to be Sustained and the New Loan Obtained, Beward’s Portrait at the Head of the Hall, &. UR SPECIAL DESPATCH FROM SYRACUSE. Syracuse, Sept. 7, 1859. Aptraight ticket bas been selected by the Republican @onvention, without the name of any American on it. ‘Me Americ aders begged the boon of even two names, but it was rejected. ‘The reason assigned is, that ‘at their Grand Council, recently held, the Americans did pot show any disposition to fuse with the republicans, but, oo the contrary, appointed two delegates at large to the ‘National Convention, without consulting them; and on matore deliberation it was considered infra dig. and inja- @icious to attempt to conciliate the Americans now. ‘Tho American leaders here are quite chop fallen. Among them are Macomber, of Buffalo; Lownebury, of Montgomery; Reynolds, of Essex; Welch and Sheriff Gamble, of Washington; Hall, of Cayuga; Swayne, of the Albany Statesman; Hunt, of New York, and others. ‘They are thus treated with contempt. ‘The antecedents of several of the nominees are demo- cratic. Leavenworth was formerly a democrat, and was once Secretary of State. He was a member of the Con- etitutional Convention in 1846. He is a groat friend of the canals, and it was to propitiate the canal interest that he ‘was choson, Myors, of 8t. Lawrence, waa formerly a democrat, and #80 was Dorsheimer, who, when he was refused the Buf- falo Post office by James K. Polk, said he was ‘going home to keep a hotel like hell 1’? ©. M. Chapin, of Albany, is an extensive forwarding merchant. He has been a canal man all his life, and was a fact brought up on the canals, This nomination was 4m the canal interest. ‘The only officer which was not arranged in caucus to- @ay was that of State Prison Inspector, and for that it was considered that there ought to be a free fight, in order to pay somo tribute to the genius of rowdyism, lest the pro- vedings should go off too tamely. ‘The programme of the ticket on the slate last night was akered to-day, in censequence of Cook withdrawing bis mame for Comptroller, because Bakor, his friend from an adjoining county, was a candidate for Cana] Commissioner, and mutual friends urged Cook to gtve all his interest to him, and to abandon the Comptrollership, Baker, how- ever, was defeated, chiefly on this account, as the Con- ‘Wention resented it because Cook was the spontaneous Seneral choice on account of bis qualifications for the office. Cook has a much better office now as Superin- fendent of Banks. He did nOt seek the office of Comp- troller, it wag thrust upon him in caucus. In consequence of the alteration about Cook, there was ‘@ general breaking up of the programme, and the leaders ‘were called together by Weed, who dictated another ticket. ‘The only nomination that waa pressed for by can- @idates was that of Canal Commissioner. Tehould mention that 8. A. Law of Delaware, American, vepelved a few votes for Sccretary of State. ‘There were many new faces at this convontion. A resolution laudatory of Governor Morgau was drawn up by some of his friende, but General Nye threatencd to eppoee it “ tooth and nail,” and it was withheld for sake of harmony. Governor Morgan would not reappoint bim ©ommirsioner of Police. There’s the rub. ‘The pith of the canal resolution is, first, opposing the gale of the canals ; second, in favor of the immediate enlargement and completion of the canals ; third, that the people be recommended to vote for the loan applicable to the canals, passed conditionally by the last Legislature, ‘There has been nothing said about Seward in the open Convention, but plenty in private. His portrait was ex- Dibited at the end of the hall. The republicans are too shrewd to choose delegates to their National Convention for along time to come. Their idea is to first whip the @emocrats in the fallelections and this they calculate they will do to a certainty if the democrats commit the Dlunder on this day week of appointing delegates to the Charleston Convention. THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION, Syracuse, Sept. 7, 1859. ‘The Republican State Convention assembled in Wieting ‘Hall, informally, at cleven o’clock. At that hour the hall ‘was crowded to its utmost capacity, the fromt portion ‘Deing reserved for the delegates, and the rear partand galleries being reserved for outsiders. The Convention was called to order by James Kerry, Chairman of the General Committee, who, without pre- Mminary remarks, named Ward Hunt, of Oneida, for tem- porary President. (Loud applause.) General Nye named John H. White, of New York, and Delos E. Sill, of Cattaraugus, for Secretaries, Mr. Hunt, on taking the chair, said:— ‘The duties of temporary chairman of this Convention will be brief, and with your kind assistance easily per- formed; I will not delay the Convention with any remarks, Dut invite you at once to proceed with the business of the Convention. (applause.) ‘The list of delegates was then called, and every district in the State was found to be fully represented. Mr, J. Kxrxy moved that a committee of two from each judicial district be appointed to name permanent officers. Carried. Senator Hatetaad moved that a committee of five be inted on the contested seats of Schuyler county. . Evia objected, and desired the matter to come di- rectly before the Convention. ‘The motion Was carried. ‘The Chair then appointed the following Committee on Or- ganization: — ‘Ist District, James Reilly and George Folsom, of New York; 2d, H.'B, Duryea, of Kings, and Robert Denniston, of Orange; 84, H. A. Brigham, of ‘Albany, and W. 8. Kon’ of Ulster; 4th, R. A. Loveland and Edward Dodd, of Washington; Sth, John A. Haddock, of Jefferson, and Oliver Ladue, of Herkimer; 6th, Lyman Truman, of Toga, and Tracy R. Morgan, of Broome; 7th, W. H. Briggs, of Monroe, and D. W. Bissell, of Livingston; 8th, ¥. P. Se. ‘vens, of Erie, and J. P. Darling, of Cattaraugus. ‘The following commitice on the Schuyler contested seat was appointed:—J. B, Halstead, J. G. Floyd, W. Bost, L. Birdseye and 8. N. Miller. ‘The Cmarwan, in announcing the list, bogged the indul- gonce of the Convention, us the Chuir had not had the customary assistance of having the committees fixed be- forelfand; while this might make the committees leas per- fect, it would be free from the charge of previous arrange- ment. R. Van VatkENscrGH moved that the delegates from each judicial district select three members of the State Sonera Committee, to be reported to this Convention. lopted, Adjourned till half-past two o'clock P.

He spoko as follows:— Guwriewn.¥ OF tz ConveNTIon—I thank you for the honor you have con.€rred upon mo in selesting me to over your deti,¥orations.

In that contest the repub- lican party of this State is to occupy no secondary position; its bamner should be found in the van of the conflict; it belongs there by virtue of et labors and past triumphs, and must be #0 upheld in coming election, that in the next National Convention to select a candidate for the Pre- sidency, the voice of New York will be heard and respect- ed. republican y of this State mustenter that Convention with the full prestige it now enjoys. It must not expect a leading position in the grand conflict if it now permit itself to be beaten by the home division of the common enemy. Nor, in the meantime, must any unto- ward result be permitted to check the rapid wth of our principles in those States which turned the tide against us in 1866; neither must the ardent, glowing hopes of United New England, which has thoroughly purged itself of the “black dross,” be chillod by any temporary re- verses here. To secure such reverses a most determined effort will be made by our opponents to the end that in the Presidential canvass New York may be pointed at as occupying a doubtful position. In view of this and the great end to be attained by buccess, let your counsels be overned by Wisdom, toleration and prudence. Seek by all jorable means to strengthen our organization by win- ning to our standard all those who, hb differing with us upon non-essentials, are nevertheless honestly with us upon the main questions, and are willing to make common cause with us for the advancement and success of our prin- ciples; but in doing this, let no new flag be raised over the recruiting office, let no distinctive principle of the republi- ‘can party be sacrificed or in the leastinfringed. If urgent reagons demanded the formation of that party, still more urgent ones now demand its thorough organization and continuance. The South has abated no one of its unjust demands since our principles a8 a national party were given to the world. On the contrary, there is now super- added to those demands the claim that it is the duty of every department of the federal government, Congres- sional, Judicial and Executive, to guard and protect its slave property in the Territories, and for the repeal of all laws prohibiting the importation of African slaves. In resistance of such demands there can be no middle ground, no compromise. They who will chaffer about the terms w which they shall engago in such a conflict are unworthy of a place in the republican party. But, gentlemen, I wii) not detain ou longer from your labors. Let those labors eventuate in the nomination of a ticket which for high moral integrity and especial and enlarged fitness for specific duties e! command the support of the people. Give us men whose past record is a sure guarantee that to them may be safely committed the public works, and all the interests of this State, in full confidence that they will be advanced in their hands, and that the welfaro of the whole common- wealth will be their honest and only aim. Such a ticket the this State will triumphantly ballot box in November. That done we shall have approached one | nearer to the national citadel, in which slavery 80 en- trenched iteelf, and ‘then in November, 1860, with the Empire State to lead the storming column, that citadel, with its forces already enervated and demoralized, shall be overthrown, and on its ruing shall rise an administra- tion whose true aim shall be ‘to promote the general wolfare and to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves ‘end our posterity.’ Mr. Parke Gopwrx moved that 2 Commitice of one from each Judicial district be appointed to draw up a series of resolutions. Adopted. The following committee was appointed:—Parke God- win, George Folsom, ©. R. Ri , E. D, Brooks, D. C. Litejonn, T. R. Morgan, E. G. Lapham and William Dor- \eimer. Mr. D. 0. Lirrrtgyonn moved that the Convention now take a recess until five o'clock in order to givo the committee time to prepare the resolutions and rd the delegates an Coen for furthor consultation on their credentials. He was satisfied the Convention, by rece t 2 recess, would save time and be able to adjourn 10-n The motion was adopted, and the Convention took a recess EVENING SESSION. At five o'clock the Convention reassembled. Mr. Russ, of @t. Lawrence, moved that the Conven- tion proceed to nominate candidates viva voce in the order as named in the notice of the Secretary of State, Mr. Urnam—I hope the tleman will withdraw his motion until the report on the contested seat of Schuyler county is received. ‘The motion was withdrawn. Mr. CoorEr, of Suffolk, moved to adopt the rules of the last Assembly for tho guidance of the The motion was carried. ‘Mr. Hazerp, of Wyoming, from the committee on the contested seats, was ready to report. After hearing the different sides, the committee were somewhat divided in their views upon the subject.” The majority ro- port in favor of admitting the Cook delegation. The mi- nority did not report, but advised the admission of one a Coe o th inority make report? e © minority make any Mr. Harstrp—They do not. On motion the report of the majority of the committee ‘was adopted unanimously. Mr. Russet, of St. Lawrence, then renewed his motion respecting the candidates, Mr. Urnax, of Genesee, moved to amend by nominating first a candidate for Judge of the Court of Appeals. Ac- cepted. ir. SeyMovR, of Monroe, hoped the Convention would vote by secret ballot. That only could give a fair expres- sion of the sentiments and wishes of the majority, In view of the importance of nominating candidates now who would unite all the elements in opposition to the democrats, it was most necessary that the ticket should represent all interests and not the views ‘fnd policy of one man or one set of men alone. He did not sce why real sentiments of the Convention should not be expressed in this Convention. That certainly was the usual mode, and a vina vote was the exception to the rule. Mr. Seymour believed it had been the practico of the republicans ever since the organization of the party to name the candidates vina voce. It tends to honesty of action. No person desires to ballot without he desires to cheat or be cheated. It was manly to nominate our can- didates as openly as the principles we avowed. He moved to amend by voling by open ballot. A Detecate asked what particular dodge was meant by the gentleman from Genesee (Upham.) Ho used the word ‘‘dodge”’ because he was an outspoken mau. Had there been any bargain about the Judge of the Court of Appeals? If so he desired to have a voice in it, Mr. Orron said New York advocated vote by ballot. Mr. Seymour’s amendment was lost by a very large majority. Mr. Jamma S. Nyx objected to the nomination of the Judge of the Court of Appeals first. His vote on that officer would be guided by the selection of the other can- didates. They had a candidate in New York, and would desire to see what was done with the rest of the ticket before that candidate was named. He moyed to strike Upham’s amendment. Urnam stated that he had made his motion to amend in error. He thought the call of the Secretary of ioe named that office first. He withdrew his amend- ment. Mr. Warp Hunt believed the proper. way was to pro- ceed in the order of the notice of the Secretary of State. He understood tbat in that notice the Judge of the Court of Appeals was the first office named. Vorcxs—No’’—*that is a mistake.’” Mr. warp Hexr—Then I still think the Judge of the Court of pei the most important office, and move that it be first filled, Lost by a large majority and the original resolution adopted. The Convention then proceeded to nominate a candidate for Secretary of State. Elias W. Leavenworth, of Onon- daga; Monroc Hail, of Essex; B. Brockway, of Oswego; T. P. Stevens, of Eric; Samuel A. Law, of Delaware, and’ E. B. Morgan, of ore were named as candidates. The names of B. kway, of Oswego, and Thomas B. Carroll, of Rousselacr, were withdrawn. ‘The nomination of Samuel A. Law was presented by Delaware county as calculated to unite the elements of the opposition to the democratic party. (Applause.) ‘The firet ballot resulted as follows:—Leavenworth, 218; Law, 16; Hall, 15; Stevens, 3. Mr. Leavenworth was declared duly nominated, and the nomination was declared unanimous with loud applause. The Convention next proceeded to vote for Comptroller. Robert Denniston, of Orange, and Albert Lester, of On- tario, were named. Mr. Jans 8. Nyz had been pleased to hear the name of Robert Denniston proposed. He believed he was every man’s choice; and, to save time, he moved to make the nomination unanimous. Mr. L. Brrvseye objected. He was going to vote for Robert Denniston; but strongly as he desired the nomina- tion of that gentleman, in justice to all the candidates named, he hoped the rulo would be applicd to all tho nominees alike. Mr. Coctrans, of Schenectady, thought time would be saved by a wnanimous nomination; but the motion was eventually withdrawn, and the roll called. On the first ballot’ Mr. Denniston was unanimously nominated. a i ‘The result was received with Joud applause. Mr. James M. Cook having been vot for, Mr. Bocxvs, of Saratoga, announced that Mr. Cook was not a candidate for any office whatever. The Convention next went into the nomination of a can- didate for Attorney General, The following were named:—Charles G. Myers, of St. Lawrence; Addison G. Rice, of Cattaraugus; Charles 8, Spencer, of New York, and Henry R. Selden, of Monroe. Mr. Ware, of New York, inquired if Judge Selden would accept? He had heard he would not, and if that was the case it was useless to nominate him. —- Mr. Brrvseve, of Kings, said that he bad put Mr. Selden in nomination ‘simply because of his eminent fitness for that or any other office in the gift of the people, and be- cause he knew he would give great strength to the ticket. He hoped that no one was authorized to withdraw his name. Mr. Urnam, of Genesee, regretted that he was authorized and compolled to say that Judge Selden wonld not accept the nomination. Mr. Birvsxye—Then I withdraw his name. Ow the first baitot Charles G.

He desired to say, in justice to a faithful and efficient public officer, that he ld take this occasion to thank Mr. Sherrill, on behalf of the republican party, for having by his official conduct reflected honor and credit on that party, by dimiishing the expenses of his division by @ large amount while Snororing ie condition, and leaving behind hima record to wh his friends can hereafter point with just pride. Hi. 1. BrianaM presented the name of Ogden N. Chapin, of Albany. In doing so he took pleasure in saying that he ‘was an earnest, practical friend of the canals, and would never during his term of office endeavor to decreuse the revenue of canal #0 as to encompass their sale. Isaac V. Raker, of Washingtov, and Humphrey G. Root, of Herkimer, were also named. ‘The firat ballot resulted:—Chapin, 102; Root, 76; Baker 86. No choice.

Mr. Chapin’s nomination was made unanimous. For State Prison Inspector, James K. Bates, of Jeffer- son; David P. Forest, of Schenectady; Lyman Odell, of New York, and others, were nominated, ‘On thé second ballot David P. Forest, of Schenectady, was elected, and the election was made unanimous, ‘The Judge of the Court of Appeals was next in order. Mr. E. DeLarmip of New York, presented the name of Lewis P. Woodruff. New York could not claim a candidate as aright, for she docs not give her vote to the party; but sho asked it in order to enable her to de- crease that great democratic majority which paralyzes the efforts of the rest of the State. He could say, authori- tatively, that Justice Woodruff was with the republicans on the great principle of human freedom, which is the basis of the perty. He urged strongly the claims of Judge Woodruff on the ground of capacity and integrity. Mr. L. Burners commented on the great importance to the legal profession and public of having a Jndge of the Court of Appeals located in New York, and confirmod all that had ‘been said in favor of Jistioe Woodruff. Mr. Isaac Dayton bad a name to offer of one not hither. to acting with the republican party, but identifled in fudivial capacity with true republican principles—Henry L. Davies. He spoke warmly in favor of Judge Davies. Mr. Onron, of New York, opposed the nomination of Mr. Davies. He had acted with the American 1p He thought the time had now come when the republicans had decided that none but clean names should be put on a clean ticket. There was a German Republican Associa- tion in New York, and for one vote gained from the Americans five would bo lost from the Germans if Mr. Davies should be nominated. He had recently spoken with prominent members of the American party, who had stated thatthe Americans would only ce up such candidates from the republican ticket as were Amo- rican in principle. He desired no trading with such men. Mr. Rosivson, of Chemung, with appropriate remarks, nominated A. &. Diven, of Chemung. Mr. James W. Nye thought there was not much to choose between the two gent n named from New York on the score of this much dreaded Americanism. He could not regard rage ‘Woodruff as always having been republican in principle when he remembered the decision in the Lemon slave case. Butthey were assured that ho ‘was now a republican. He was on to hear it, and hoped that God might give him strength according to his days. ‘To be sure Judge Woodruff had only stated his firm re- publican convictions to his colleague from New York (Smith), and he wished the people of New York under- Stood ft more generally. Ho alluded in flattering terms to Judge Davies, and thought that as Judgo Woodruff was ‘vou for as 80 unflinching a republican, the policy was to make n convert of Davies. Indeed, & member of the American party had told him here that he was waiting to come into the republican party with Davies. Now, here was a chance of getting twoconverté. He believed that the nomination of Davies would draw many such into the republican ranks, for all men liked to come toa victorious purty. He regretted, however, to find strict party lines drawn in relation to the nomination, It seemed to prove the truth of the predic- tions of those oj to the ekction of the Iadicary, | that the system would drag the bench into polities, believed it would be policy to nominate Judge Davies. Mr. Sxow, of Madion, named Judge Wright, of Ulster. ‘Mr. Brpskys explained that he considered Judge Davies eminently qualified for the office, and should with plea- Bure 81 rt him if the Convention preferred him to . GEORGE Foisom urged the propriety of locating the Judge in New York. He should cast his vote for Wood- ruff, but desired to endorse all that could be suid in favor of Davies, aud hoped that one or the viher would receive the yote of the Cgnyention. Re Larnam, of Ontario, advocated Judge Diven’s claime. Mr. Cnartzs 8. SPENCER hoped that Mr. Diven would not be advanced to the bench; for while in the Senate he had made a report against the Personal Liberty bill, in which be had fully endorsed the Fugitive Slave law. ase. op. first Latot stood:—Davies, 86, Woodruff, 46; Diven, 80; Wright, 26. ‘On the second ballot Henry E. Davies was nominated receiving 180 to 71 for Woodruff. On motion of Mr. Birdseye, seconded by E. D. Smith the nomination was made unanimous. ‘The Convention then proceeded to the nomination of a candidate for Clerk of the Court of Appeals. ‘A. T. Wood, of Livingston; J. Stanton Gould, of Colum bia; §. B. Cole, of Kings; and Charles Hughes, of Wash- ington, were named for the office. Charles Hughes was nominated on the first ballot, re- ceiving 111 votes out of 198; and the nomination was made unanimous.

Candidates and their friends, ag well ag an army of look- ers on to witness the tight rope performances’ advertised to come off; The hotels were crowded fully as much ag at the managerie two weeks ago, In dodging around amonget them I could but notice their non-committal dis- position; every one seemed to be afraid of breathing loud for fear some one would hear them, At an early hour in the evening the different delegations sought their private rooms to lay their plans and prepare the tight ropes for to-day’s operation, Notwithstanding the personal attend ance of a score or more of would-be Governors, there was ® universal evidence of being in a “tight place.” Goy. Now- ell was bobbing around amongst them all the evening, doing his best to arouse confidence and laboring to convince the Americana that he didn’t mean anything bad in keoping them away from the public crib, There was so small an amount of fodder that if he had given any to the Amoricang his republican friende would have starved. Leaving New York at4P.M., I found on that train three cars filled with politicians bound for this place, who were busy buttonholing each other all the way. Upon arriving here they rushed out of the care like a drove of cattle let loose after being long confined, and in passing the gate where they have to give up their tickets—for no one is permitted to enter Trenton without a@ ticket—there ‘was @ pulling and hauling which would have disgraced border rufflans. The agent receiving tickets at the gate in- formed ihem that they wero not half as decent as the Gelegutee to the Democratic Convention. Great excitement prevailed throughout the evening. All sorts of remors were afloat as to the strength of the dif- ferent caucidates, and everything pointed to a squabble to-day, although not quite as boisterous ag the de- mocrats, yet fully os interesting. Thero is a strong delegation from the Camden Americans try- ing to influence the delegates to the American Convention here to nominate Mr. Clark, who in- duetriously circulated a rumor that one-third of the delegates of the Republican Convention were &e., Seite Us iene aan vabe cal eareno ee ‘sin, © tune the entire e yeni were 4 Shmerican vote. This only candidates that could get the ‘wag the special card of Mr. Olden and Ephriam Marsh. ‘Whenever the jatter person was named to the Americans they would bring up his Fremont letter of 1656. ‘The scenes at the hotels were decidedly interesting. It was, “Come here, I want to speak with you;” and off two would go to a corner faking. ‘special care that no one was about listening, and then whisper in each other’s ear for 2 minute or two, when off would go and button- hole some one else; thie was the programme the entire evening. The nomination of Clark by the Commodore Stockton Americans was 4 great barrier in their way; all admitted him to be a man of unquestionable charac- ter, znd would willingly vote for him if nominated by the re} reser tro . Sones ig to notice that squad of politicians at Camden; les, they mus’nt do anythi that would drive off the German vote of the Northwest in The Americans assembled in caucus by themselves, and had decidedly a lively time. They called the a man of their Executive Committee to account for writing a letter to the Commodore Stockton party—worked them- selves into a muss generally, when all outsiders who were not Simon Pure Americans, were ordered out of the room; there was in fact great jealousy existing amongst them; all seemed to be afraid that somebody was going to be cheated in some form. After ridding themselves of all intruders, they took a sense of those present Cor candidate. Peter I. Clark had more than any one man, but almost every one present had a candidate of his own. The fol- lowing conversation, that transpired at the American House, between an American and republican, will give you some idea of the feeling against each other: Amenican—Mr. Clark is a8 good a man as you have in your party. Repvsiicax—You don’t suppose that we are d~d fools enough to take your candidate? caX—You will have to, or be defeated; you can’t elect without the American vote. RePvuBucaN—The whole batch of you arc nothing but democrats. Why don’t you vote for Wright and be done with it? The only organs that you haye in the State is the democratic press. American—Tuke your choice: vote for Clark, or let ‘Wright be elected; you can’t elect any one else. Repusuican (shaking his fist)—The entire opposition are not going to submit to three or four thousand votes in the lower part of the State. You are nothing but rascally democrats in disguise, alwaye have been a curee to us, ae sooner we get rid of all such vagabonds tho r. Here the republican walked off, grating his teeth, whilst the American shook his cane at his back. A happy set of Dedfellows, sure. Quite a number of delegates have been elected by the republicans to the American Convention. ‘That body will, therefore, either nominate the same man the republicans do, or else there will be asplit. During the night there was a great deal of crowing going on, dla rooster, in the Trenton House, an indication of the pre- sence of Shanghaes. I have taken special pains to ascertain the choice of tho conglomerate mass here for President in 1860. The local squabble of arranging bedfellows absorbs the Presiden. tial question to some exte! ita late hour last evening I found them ready to tal ‘eely upon that subject. I could not, however, find a pergon here, however rabid his views upon the nigger question, who claimed a parti- cle of strength for Wm. H. Seward in New Jersey. On the contrary, every one with whom I conversed declared that his nomination would be perfectly suicidal, and that he would have sense enough, on his return from Europe, to decline being a candidate. General Cameron is no- where. They say he has been a little of everything, and not much of anything, Godging, about so much that they cannot tell where to find him to-morrow. He is Jooxed upon in New Jersey as merely a trickster, and has no show whatever. Governor Chase would be accepta- ble to the republicans and a portion of the Americans, and as a candidate his chances are ten to one in New Jersey to either Seward or Cameron. The straight out Americans talk Commodore Stockton; but the strongest candidate among the opposition in this State, ag sran; as it may at firet seem, is Mr. Bates, of Missouri. To my surprise, found the republicans for him. They say that with him they can carry New Jersey against any candidate that the Sorpacrac may nomiaate, and that he Is the first choice of rity of the opposition in New Jersey. This was more than I was ‘epared to hear from republican lipe; but, nevertheless, Pitve received the best of asmmrances from no less than ten republicans, coming from different portions of the State,that Bates, of Missouri, is the s st man amongst the opposition in New Jersoy for the contest in 1860. I have further received the information that the two Blairs are doing all within their power to bring forward Mr. Bates. at fact alone, coming from undoubted source, givesthe republicans in this State unbounded confidence in Mr. Bates. I have likewise recoived the intelligence, upon hgh Macha personal and political friend of Mr. Biairé, from Missouri, that the Germans of that State, Towa and Southern Iilinois, are now quietly rallying for Mr. Bates; that their entire influence will be brought to bear ‘0 secure his nomination. The importance attached to anything that Hon. F. P. Blair, of Missouri, says amongst the republicans is astonishing. Those that I have conversed with here upon the subject seem to desire no further evidence of Mr. Bates’ position than that he is advocated by Mr. Blair, Next to Mr. Bates stands Banks, of Massachusetts. It is, however, hard to tell, from the conflicting views here, which is the stronger, Banks or Gov. Chase. My impros- sion, however, is that Banks would get more of the Ame- rican yote. The Republicans were at work until three o'clock this morning and commenced again at sunrise putting up their tight rope to perform upon, but from some cause the guys and stays, which they have been trying to manufacture out of Native American and Know Nothing material, don’tseem to adhere to their wooly rope ; there is a fair prospect of any quantity of somersets and splasbing in ‘the mud.

The Republican Convention being considered the im- portant attraction of the day, delegates began to gather there at a few minutes past eleven A. M., and at the hour of iweive the Temperance Hall was crowded to over- flowing. It is said that there are more Americans in this Convention than republicans, thus you will gee matters are decidedly mixed up to commence with. The Copvention was cafod to order at 12 o'clock M. by NEW*#YORK HERALD. MORNING EDITION—THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1859. PRICE TWO CENTS.

It was ramored that the republicans had secured the election of enough delegates to control the action of the Convention. A large number of lookers on came in to see the fun, Many of the straight Americans appeared uneasy at the result. This is the Convention called by order of the New Brunswick Committee. ‘The Convention was called to order by Mr. Isaac R. Cornell, who suggested that it would save time if officers for permanent organization was at once elected. Be Ao elias Hon. John Rank, of Hunterdon, ag ‘esi-dent, Mr. Mencnayt thought the firet thing to be decided was whether we now have a temporary or permanent organi- zation.
