The Ocean Queen arrived at this port last night, with files from Europe to the 3ist ult., containing details of the telegraphic reports forwarded after whe reached off Cape race, and after the Anglo Baxon resched Quebec. We have the important news that Captain Harrison entered the Great East- ern at the London Custom House “outward for New York" on the 30th ult., notwithstanding the refusal of Mr. Lever's offer. Count De Morny had made @ speeok, in which he claimed credit for the best intentions on the part of the Emperor of France towards Italy and England. Garibaldi was very ac- tive in his capacity of Commander-in-Chief of the troops of Tuscany and Modena. The Persia is due at this port with European Dews to the 3d inst. We have received interesting advices from St. Domingo City. The republic was quiet, and in po- litical affairs everything was at peace. The ques- tion in agitation between Denmark and Dominica ‘would probably be peacefully settled. Mr. C.G. Kolff had been appointed Dominican Consul for the United States. A lengthy correspondence had taken place between the Minister of Foreign Rela- tions of the republic, and the consuls of England, France, Spain, Sardinia and other countries, con- cerning the decree of the Legislature of the 5th of May. The health of the country was good. By the brig John Butler, Captain Miner, we have news from Porto Platte to the Ist instant. Business was very dull, as the to bacco crop is nearly all bought up. Exchange, paper for gold, $2 50 national for $1, and not much paper; very little hard money in circu- lation. The three individuals detected two months ince in the act of landing and passing counterfeit paper money, from the States, escaped from the jail at Santiago about the 27th ult., together with the Jail keeper. The people generally were much dis- Gatisfied with the prevailing government, and pre- dicted a revolution shortly. There would not, probably, be much fighting; all that would be ne- essary would be for a majority to declare a revolt, &. The treasury was kept dry, aa usual. We hawe files from Jamaica, dated at Kingston, on the 13th ult. Later news has, however, reached us by telegraph from New Orleans. The late riots at Trelawny arose from a difficulty of a private mature, caused by two parties claiming the owner- ship ofa property. A man named Townsend, liv- ing in adultery with a woman separated from her husband had deliberately poisoned three of her children at different times, in order to get rid of their support; and the mother not only did not in- form on him but continued to reside with him. The Kingston Journal, speaking on the immigra- tion question and the opposition of the Anti-slavery Bociety of England to it, remarks :—We say that it fis not for a committee either of the House of Lords or of the Commons to inquire and decide whether the inhabitants of Jamaica do or do not require ad- Gitionsl laboring population. We maintain that this is our own business, and that if we conceive that Sdditional population is needed, and are prepared to find the means necessary to introduce it, Parlia- ‘Mont has no concern with it, and no constitutiona Power to deal with the question. \ The New York Democratic State Convention for the nomination of candidates for State officers and flor deciding upon the method of selecting dele- gates to the Charleston Convention, will be held foday at Syracuse. The forces of the demo- Oracy—the leaders, the delegates, the whippers-in the candidates, and the shoulder hitters—were on bo ground lest evening, arranging the prelimi- Darios for what bids fairto be the hottest contest Chat has yet occurred between the various cliques and factions of the Sia despatches from Syracuse, published elsewhere in to-day’s paper, will inform our readers of the rumors, patel ed ond tons prevailing among the demo cratic host ap to a late hour last night. A largely attended public meeting was held last evening in the theatre known as Volks Garten, in tho Bowery, to gjve expression to the popular Gentiment adverse to the enforcement of the odious Sabbatarian laws, There were between two and three thousand persons present. Ex-Justice Clarke Progided, sided by numerous Vice Presidents, A NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1859. series of reaclutions strongly deounciatory of Sun day avd sumptuary laws were adopted, and speeches were made in English and Gorman, The proceedings were quite enthasiastic, and were con- ducted with the utunost decorum aud good order. A letter from one of our correspondents at Saa Francisco, received by the Star of the West, fur- pishes the following interesting information:— “You will be pleased to learn that silver ore of most extraordinary richness has recently been found on the Mariposa grant. Ihave obtained a specimen from the man who discovered it. It is nearly all pure silver, being but slightly mixed with copper." We learn from auother source that this silver ore alluded to contains ninety per cent of silver, and was found forty feet below the surface. The mize is on Colonel Fremont’s tract. This gentleman will have in sixty days, on the Merced river, seventy-two stamps at work, with pleaty of permanent water power and capacity to work a hundred tons of ore a day, worth from twenty to thirty dollars per ton. The steamship North Star, from Aspinwall, was reported coming up the bay last night at half past twelve o clock. Tho National Grays, of Kingston, New York, ar- rived in this city yesterday noon,en route for Now Haven, Conn. They were received by Company C, Captain Alex. P. Kinnan, and Cumpany G, Captain W. J. Coles, of the: Seventy-first regiment, who made a joint parade,and. marched their guosts through Broadway, and afterwards entertained them at a bountifa: collation at the Division Armo- ry. They were afterwards reviewed by Mayor ‘Tiemann in front of the City Hall. At three o'clock P.M. the Grays departed fur New Haven in the steamboat Elm City. In the General Sessions yesterday Judge Russell sent a large number of notorious thieves to the State prison for a term of years, whose nameé will be found in our report of the proceedings. The Board of Ten Governors met yesterday, but transacted no business for want of a quorum. Late yesterday afternoon we were visited by a very copious shower of rain, which cooled the atmosphere and made one think of the presence of autumn and warm clothing. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,200 a 1,500 bales, closing steady on the basis of quotations given in another column. By the annual statement it appears that the total receipts from September 1, 1958, to Septem- ber 1, 1859, were 3,851,485 bales, of which 3,021,404 bales were exported, leaving in the country, including stock on hand and taken for consumption, 830,081 bales. If we es- timate the average value of the bales at $50 each, it will give a total for the wholo crop of $192,574,250. The value of the exports, by the same rule, will give the sum of $151,070,200, distributed as follows:— To Great Britain. 2 100 To France., 450,696 22,534,800 To other foreign ports 551,455 27,572,750 Total 8,121,404 $151,070,200 Add amt. with stock taken for consuinptior 830,081 41,504,050 Grand total 3,851,485 $102,574, The flour market was some less active, but firmor for the lower grades of Western, while extra qualities were un- changed. Wheat closed with less spirit, and with a ten- dency to lower rates for qualities below prime to choice. Corn was active, with sales of Western mixed at 8le. a 8244e., and Southern yellow at 86c. Pork was steady at $14 93% a $15 for mess, and $10 25 a $10 31 for prime The sales of sugar embraced about 500 bhds. and 500 boxes, at rates given in another column. Coffe was firm, with moderate gules, The stock embraced 54,274 bags of Rio, 27,000 mats and 2,250 bags Java, and a total stock of all kinds of 91,815 packages Freights were steady, while engagements were moderate. Our Democratic State Convention—The Presidential Imbroglio at Syracuse. The State Convention of the New York de- mocracy which meets to-day at Syracuse will be the most momentous affair of the kind in the history of the Albany Regency. Limited to State affairs, there would be very little in this annual party gathering to attract the atten- tion of the general reader. But the Regency having decreed, and arranged, and resolved, that this Convention shall comprehend in its work the absolute exclusion of the right wing of the party of this State from the Convention at Charleston, it will be seen that the Presiden- ial baitle, in a somewhat threatening form to the democracy, is to be opened to-day in the midst of the salt boilers at Syracuse. Our readers are well acquainted with the difficulty on hand. The democracy of this State are divided into two great factions, the Albany Regency faction and the Astor House faction, otherwise known as hards and softs. The hards are the minority faction, and in a State Convention organized under the ma- chinery of the Albany Regency, are completely at the mercy of the softs. The hards, there- fore, in order to secure their legitimate share of the delegation to Charleston, have asked and insisted that said ¢elegates shall be elected by the single Congressional district system. The softs, on the other hand, have resolved that the Charleston delegation, in the lump, shall be appointed by this State Convention, and that it shall be “a unit,” according to the wishes of the Regency and their Presidential schemes. This game of despotically packing the Charleston Convention was very adroitly con- trived, for in the letter which was treacherous- ly drawn from Gov. Wise to poor Donnelly the Regency have had at least a pretext for the war of extirmination which they have declared. They have conducted the elections to the Syra- cuse assemblage upon this pretext, and, having a majority of the Convention ready to do their bidding, we can hardly expect anything better than the same offensive exercise of power against the minority which restored the State last year to the black republicans. The organ in this city of the Astor House clique has information from Syra- cuse that “ihe national democrats are in good spirits,” and that “it is supposed they may have a majority of the Convention;” but tables of the delegates on both sides will afford very little encouragement of this sort. From the same organ we are also in- formed that “there are many ugly looking chaps here (at Syracuse), who appear to be strangers to the citizens of this place,” and who “look as if they could strike from the shoulder. Who they are, from whence they came, and for what purpose, conjecture is not at fault.” We are thus forewarned of a possible appeal from the decision of the Chair to “the noble art of self-defence.” It is to be hoped, however, that law and order will pre- vail in the Convention, and that no Necessity will arise for the armed intervention of the Syracuse black republican police. We do not despair altogether of a treaty of peace, and a democratic alliance, offensive and defensive, against the embodiment of the re- publican party and hig revolutionary pro- gramme of “an irrepressible conflict” between the two great sections of the Union. The po- licy of the Convention is to heal instead of re- opening old sores in the party camp, and to conciliate instead of driving off that indispens- able wing of the party known as the Astor House clique. In cutting it off the Regency will deliberately sacrifice the State in Nevem- ber in order to hold the monopoly of the vote of New York ot Charleston. But as this despic- able tick, if attempted, must fail, from the pr e of a contesting delegation, the Re- Ke may, perhaps, be still within ihe reach of reason und common sense, The overshadowing and paramount issue be- fore the acuse Convention ts the reunion and resuscitation of the New York democratic party or its final dissolution. The party may be reunited by the simple act of putting off to some future day, and to an election by the several Congressional districts, of the delegates to Charleston. ‘The democracy of Wisconsin have adopted this course, and the republicans of New York, in their late State Convention, have, in regard to thia Presidential business, set an example and given a warning which can- not be lightly disregarded. But, above all things, the Albany firm of Richmond, Corning, Comstock, Cagger, Confidence Cassidy & Co., should remember that if their game for the mo- nopoly of the Charleston Convention shall re- sult in a disgracetul defeat and permanent prostration of the New York democracy, the guilty managers concerned will make very lit- tle by their bargain. : We adhere to our.well grounded belief, that there is a heavy popular majority in. this State opposed to the principlea and pretensions of W. H. Seward as a Presidential aspirant. We believe that the democratic party, if united among themselves, could, upon this broad and general issue of Seward’s “irrepressible con- flict,” put an end to his Presidential aspirations in the approaching State election. We believe that such a triumph as this would restore the New York democracy to their ancient power and influence in the national councils of the party; but still our fears predominate that this selfish and besotted Albany Regency will play at Syracuse the opposite game, for the defeat of their party and for the benefit of Seward and his lobby retainers and confederates. We shall probably know the best or the worst in season for our issue of to-morrow morning. Tae MereTmna AGainst Sunpay Trrannxy.— In another page we publish a full report of the proceedings of the meeting held last evening in the Bowery against Sabbatarian despotism. It will be found highly interesting and worthy of the attention of the reader. The principles enunciated are sound and incontrovertible, and we have no doubt that this meeting will prove the entering wedge of public opinion which, driven home by similar meetings, will shiver the old rotten plank which bridges the gulf between an era of intolerance and the pre- sent enlightened age, and then that gulf shall be rendered forever impassable. We have already shown in these columns that there is no authority in the New Testa- ment for the gloomy Sunday of the Sabbata- rians. There is no trace of it among the Chris- tians who lived immediately afler the Apostles. The learned Bunsen, in his singular work, the “Age of Hippolytus,” says:—“We find nothing like the English or Scotch (Puritan) Sabbath among the primitive Christians.” To the same effect is the testimony of Neander, the most profound of all those writers who have made research into the early history of the Christian church. He shows that the Jewish converts to Christianity at first kept their old Sabbath on Saturday, in which weakness they were tolerated. They after- wards transferred the sanctity of the seventh to the first day of the week, or Sunday. The Catholic Church at a later period ordained that Sunday alone should be observed, but not as the Puritans have since insisted that it should be kept. Thus, the only Christian au- thority there is for any observance whatever of Sunday is the Church of Rome, whom those who have borrowed her Sunday are in the habit of calling “the scarlet whore of Baby- lon.” But they are more Romish than the Ro- mans themselves, for that most ancient of churches never observed it as do the modern sect of Puritans. The most ancient Protestant churches did not so observe it. The history of the Waldenses, in Germany and Italy, the purest and earliest sect of Protestants, shows that they utterly disregarded the Sabbath. The reformers—Luther, Calvin, Melancthon, and John Knox—have all borne witness that the Christian religion does not require the ob- servance of the Sabbath. At this day nine- tenths of the people of Christendom, both Protestants and Catholics, are of the same opinion. The idea of Sunday contended for by our modern Sabbatarians and pious Pills- bury sprung from the extravagance of a single sect. The licentiousness of the age, before the time of the Puritans in England and Scotland, drove them to the opposite extreme. When they gained the ascendant they ordained that not only labor and amusements of every kind should be interdicted, but that all travelling should be stopped; no tailor was allowed to carry home a suit of clothes, no barber was allowed to shave a man on Sunday, no man was permitted to sit at his own door, to walk the streets, or to enjoy the fresh air in the green fields. The effect of this severity was an in- crease of moral depravity and crime. The same rigidity prevailed in the early settlement of New England. The most severe sect of the Puritans, the Brownists, settled there, and as- sumed the name of Congregationalists. From the history of the colony it appears that in pro- portion as their Sabbatarian laws were en- forced so was crime increased. This sect were also distinguished for their bitter persecution of all who differed from them, and for their burning of witches. Their posterity mourn this folly, but the Sabbath superstition still cleaves to many of them. This fanatical spirit cannot bear the light of free inquiry or public discussion, and the time will soon come when Jewish Sabbatarianism will become as obsolete among the Christian’ churches as the Jewish rite of circumcision. Arrarrs ix Sarst Dowixco—According to our special correspondence from St. Domingo, the institutions, government and people of the United States, are in mighty bad odor with the Dominicans. They seem to be scared out of their wits by the arrival of Gencral Cazneau and his lady and Col. Fabens. These three in- dividuals having been heretofore identified to some extent with filibuster enterprises, their ad- vent is regarded as the advance movement of some scheme of filibusterism, intended to ex- tinguish at once the Santana and Buez dynas- ties, and to put an end to the paper currency which now appears to be standing at the high quotation of a half cent per dollar. Instead of fearing an incursion of the outside barbarians, they ought, under their present sys- tem of misgovernment, to welcome anything that would bring them change, But we imagine that their apprehensions in the present instance | are uncalled for. General Cazneau has visited the island asa Minister of the ited Siates, commissioned to negotiate a treaty and to” effect an arrangement of some claims of American citizens, and Col. Fabens appears to be engaged in the more peaceful and profitable enterprise of establishing a line of packets be- tween New York and St. Domingo. And so the Dominicans may still longer sit under their own vine and fig tree, and throw up their hats for the government that issues a paper cur- rency worth half a cont on the dollar, INTERESTING FROM SYRACUSE.

The old State ticket will be renominated, with the ex- ception of Tucker for Secretary of State, who doclines a renomination. David R. Floyd Jones, of Queens, will, be- yond a doubt, bo designated as his successor. For Canal Commissioner, N. 8. Elderkin, of St. Lawrence, is spoken of as the probable nominee. Scott, of Saratoga, will got something, if he will content himself with one of the less important positions, ‘The majority of the delegates are already here. Tele- graphic despatches were sent off to the faithful by the Regency conspirators a day or two ago, urging their pro- sence as early as to-day at noon, in ordor tocut and dry everything in advance for to-morrow's work. This of course got wind, and everybody is on hand, Tho Mozart Hall contestants have arrived, without, I learn, an excop- ception. Elijah F. Purdy stays away on account of busi- ness with tho Board of Supervisors; but his alternate, Kissner, is at the Syracuse House, and so are the majority of the ‘Tammany delegates, John Y. Savage, Mclntyre, ‘Tom Byrnes, Andre Froment, John Clancy, Isaiah Rynders and the rest are also there, as well as John Cochrane, whose political weight is heavicst, on account of the prominent influence he wields at Washington. The Kings county do- legation came up mostly in the steamboat to Albany last night, All but two of them will vote and act, to a certain extent, in accordance with Cochrane’s advice. The Cayuga, Chenango, Eric, Niagara, Oneida, Oswego, Scho- haric, Ontario, Herkimor, Yates and other Western dele- gates are at the Voorhies. Dean Richmond ig at the Syra- cuse; Peter Caggor, with Fowler, is at tho Voorhics, and Cassidy keeps thom company, of course. Outsiders abound. Collector Schell, John C. Mather, Edwin Croswell, Judge Capers, Senator Spinola, Wm. D. Kennedy, Aloxander Ward, Register Miner, Coroner Gam- ble, and a host of others, represent New York city. Gov. Seymour is not here; but the Hon. Daniol 8. Dickinson ar- rived to day, avowedly for the purpose of conciliating the differences between hards and softa, and urging united action upon his friends. He seems to labor under the de- lusion, which must be speedily dispelled, that the Butcher Boy clique do not mean to cheat him, but will give him fatt play at Charleston, Excepting with regard to the nature of the resolutions to be passed, 1 think Ican tell you already, with con- siderable accuracy, what will be done by the Convention. The hards have conceded that the nomination of tempo- rary Chairman ehall be given to the softs; and John Stryker, of Oneida, will probably be chosen without a dissentient voice. Some of the friends of William H. Ludlow, of Suffolk, may desire to see him put forward; but his unpopularity is so great, since 1856, that no active movement in his behalf will bo attempted. It is still un- settled who will be permanent Chairman. The Mozart Hall contestants will not be permitted to take seats with the delegates, nor do they seem to expect any farther recognition that that which they deserve as reputable democrats, opposed to the arbitrary method of choosing delegates to the Charleston National Convention without consulting the people of the respective districts. The Convention will, nevertheless, name the seventy Charleston delegates, and I have no doubt that it is alrea- dy determined on who the greater number of thom shall be. It will be agreed between the hards and the softs that the latter shall have three of the four delegates at largo, and thatthe former shall have threo of the four alternates. But the softs will strive to have Greene C. Bronson ap- pointed as the hard delegate, with a barnburner alternate, in the expectation that he will decline, and that the whole four will thus fall into their hands. Governor Seymour, Postmaster Fowler, Dean Richmond, Judge Beardsley, Amasa J. Parker, Augustus Schell and James T. Brady, are named by their respective friends as candidates for delegates at large; but, according to the plan concocted by Richmond, Cassidy, Caggor and Stryker, the last four will be rejected. A more unjust arrangement can scarcely bo imagined, ‘The remaining seventy-one delegates it is proposed to divide with some regard to equality; but the softs, in mak- ing this concession to the hards, have at the same time Stipulated that ultras, or partizans who cannot be relied on to promote harmony (!),sball not be insisted on by their new allies. This has been consented to by men heretofore supposed to be uncompromising in their opinions, and even by gentlemen who were most forward in the Astor House movement, and as members of the Astor House Committee at Albany, at the boginning of last month. The State delegates from the separate Congressional districts will name their own delegates to Charleston, and will submit them to the decision of the Convention. A committee of eight will then be appointed by a majority of ‘all the delegates, who will scrutinize the names presented to them, with a view tw their probable homogenity of action, after which an ultimate settlement of this very transparent piece of humbugging will be easily arrived at. The object of the establishment of this board of exa- ‘miners into the merits of candidates already chosen is to remove from the Charleston delegation every single indi- viduo! who can be suspected of a desire to interfere with |] the ruscally schemes which the Regency have concocted, ‘and with the rule or ruin policy which they are resolved to carry out. The candidates named here for the Charleston Conven- tion in the first nine Congressional districts, ‘including New York, Queens, Kings, Suffolk and Westchester, are about as follows:— First District. Judge 1. G. Capers, William H. Ludlow, Ray Tompkins and John Vanderbilt. Of these Capers and Ludiow will probably be chosen. Second District.—Hugh McLaughlin, Frank Spinola, Hon. George Taylor, Moses Odell and James B. Craig. ‘The two first of these, McLaughlin and Spinola, have tho greatest likelihood of success, Third Distric.—Hon. John C. Mather, William Wilson, Robert McIntyre, Tom Byrnes, John Clancy and Wm. Miner—among whom no choice has yet been definitely arrived at by the delegates. Miner and Mather seem, however, to have the best chances. Furth Distriet,—Hon. John Kelly, Elijah F. Purdy, Mat- hewT. Brennan and Hon. Thomas J. Barr. “Kelly and Purdy appear to be the favorites, but there is much un- certainty as to the final result. Fifth District.—Hon. Wm. B. Maclay, Kdmund Driggs, Philip Hamilton, William M. Tweed and Isaiah Rynders— of whom Maclay will be rent, but the other is doubtful. Sizth District.—Hon. Joba Cochrane and Anthony Dugro—both of whom, it is supposed, will be gent to Charieaton, Seventh District,—Fiijah Ward, William D. Kennedy, W. R. McIntyre, Emanuel B, Hart and Goorge N. Sanders. Fighth District.—Alexander Ward, Andre Froment, Edward Cooper, Nelson J, Waterbary and Peter B. Sweeny. It is not possible to form an idea to-day who will be pettlgd on in these two districts, The friends of Mr. ————— Scholl eay that as they may fuil, if the Richmond, Cagger & Co. cheat is carried ont, in getting him appointod a dele- gute at large, they shall insist upon bis being named for ono of the districts in the upper part of New York city, to which he certainly is entitled. Ninth District. Hon, Edwin Croswell and A. B. Conger— of whom the first gentleman is sure of going to Charles- fen, Little mention is made as yet of tho latter, and he may have rivals. ‘The delegates from the Tenth district will probably be Hon. W. F. Russell and Mr. Olney, Concerning the remaining districts, it may be remarked that the ‘slate’? published some ton days ago in tho Al- bany Statesman givos the names of certain prominont politicians, mostly in the railroad interest in all parts of tho Stato, and that probably at least a third of thom, if not half, will turn out to have been guessed at pretty ac- curately. ‘The Regency are in a fathomleas quandary up to the Present bour respecting their ‘“regolutions,’’ although it is understood that the heads of Cassidy and Caggor have been rubbed together over their concoction for many weary hours during tho last week, All bands admit that the Douglas game is completely over. I have not met the first sensible man who looks upon his chances as worth a straw. Moreover, lottors from all parts of Wisoonsin, In- diana, Illinois and Ohio unite in declaring that the voico of tho Northwest will be against him at Charleston. He 4s accuacd at homo of faithlessness to his friends—an un- pardonable sin, in the Weat at least. His copyright mani- festo has’ also injured him. It has shown that his strongest point, when most elaborately presented by bimeelf; ig ‘untenable in point of argument, and that his rebellion against the administration has been unjustifiable. The Regency men are, many of them, committed secretly to Douglas, and they are greatly embarrassed how to act. They know that thoy must throw him overboard; but, reeking as they aro with tho recontly perpetrated treachery to Wiso, thoy tremblo at tho consequences of a second perfidy. Attempts will doubtless be made to keep the Dred Scott decision, Territorial and squatter sovereignty, slavery, Kansas, and all such matters, out of the resolutions; but I think they must prove unsuccessful, and that a com- plete endorsement of every measure of the administration will be given in the most unambiguous and explicit man- ner by the Convention. The summing up of all that is to be seen here to-day is, that the most profligate and desperate efforts have been made to concentrate the entire democratic pewer in the State in the bands of the Railroad Regency clique, and that these efforts have in 80 far succeeded that even tho hards in large numbers have succumbed to their influence. But the ond is not yet. POSTSORIPT, ‘Syraovsx, Sept. 13—11 P. M. ‘This has been an evening of meetings. Tho Stato Com- mittee met at tho Syracuse House at 8 P. M., and solect- ed Wieting Hall for the meeting of the Convention to-mor- row. A caucus of the New York delegation, which met at the Voorhees House at 7 P. M., appointed Messrs. John Cochrane and Peter B. Sweeny to conduct their business in the Convention. A Mozart Hall caucus, thinly attend ed, was also convened. Mr. Dickenson received his friends at 9 P. M. It has hourly transpired more clearly sinco this morn- ing that the socret of the liberality of Messrs. Cagger & Cassidy for harmony’s sake, consists in deadly fear of the action of the hards in regard to the contested seats, espe- cially from New York. The Regency feel that their frail tenure of power dependg upon unanimity at present, and are willing to be liberal to any extent which may increase their own power. Cugger, Cassidy, Comstock and Rich- mond are masters of the situation, and exclude the most influential softs from knowing what they intend to do in detail. The hards have been slavishly subservient until this evening, because they never were go flatter- ed and bamboozled before; but they aro frac- tious at learning that they can have but one delegate at large, and will rebel to-morrow if they are not granted two, Thoy also insist on Schell, and may get him. If #0, concord and harmony will prevail on every point in the Convention, the district system will be vir- tually abandoned, and a packed delegation will go to Charleston. D. 3. Dickinson counsels peace at any price, and @ complete fusion of the party. The numerical proportion of hards to softs is about two out of evory five; and if deceit should drive the hards out and they should unite with all outside contestants, they would ondorse the State nominations ,and appeal to the people to choose a new set of national delegates. This is an improbable issue, however, of affairs. A delegation packed by a few scheming railroad men, with Cassidy as scribe, will represent New York at Charleston. Dickinson says he never subscribed @ farthing to buy the Argus for the Butcher Boy. He had no part in the transaction, and stopped his paper when that shameful purchase took place. John Clancy has preparod Douglas resolutions on the noutrality basis of those of New Jergey ; which, if present- od, will bo laid on tho table. The article of Judge Black received this evening is en- thusiastically commented on. THE LATEST. Syraovag, Sept. 13—Midnight. ‘Three reports, all traceable to Cagger and his room, aro circulated with reference to the delegates at large. One is that Fowler and Richmond will represent the oft, and Greene C. Bronson, or some one decidedly representative man, tho bards, while the fourth nominal hard will be in the soft interest. A recent story is that Fowler, Richmond, Ludlow, and either Schell or Bronson will go. The third is that Erastus Corning and Richmond and two hards are to be chosen. The first of these stories is probably the true one. Ladlow is so strongly pressed for permanent chairman that it is believed to-night he must be chosen. If Fairchild arrives in time he may be temporary chair- man instead of Stryker. It is asserted positively that the Mozart Hall affair will not even be referred to a commit- tee, but that they will be passed over all together. Some overtures for compromise have been made unavailingly. If Scott is not on the State ticket he will go to Charles- ton. Cagger, and probably Corning, will be delegates from the Fourteenth district. John Stryker will be one sent from the Twentieth, Hon. Isracl L. Hatch one from the Thirty-second and Sim Jewett one from the Twenty~ ninth. ‘The crowd in and around the hotels is greater than ever was known here before. Conversation was exclusively upon the Charleston Convention delegation, which no one doubts will be chosen with little opposition, as only abou one-fourth of the State Convention are in fayor of the dis trict system Daan Richmond’s room, atthe Syracuse House, and Cagger’s, at the Voorhees, aro the headquarters of inside goesippers. The Voorhees barroom looks towards mid- night slightly belligerent on the New York Mayoralty question. THE VERY LATEST. Syracuse, Sept. 14-1240 A. M. The city is filled with roughs, and a desperate fight has just occurred at the barroom of the Voorhees House be- tween the partisans of Tammany Hall and Mozart Hall. ‘The Mozarters drove the Tammanyites from the house and beat them dreadfully, remaining masters of the field. ANOTHER DESPATCH. Syracuse, Sept. 13, 1859, ‘The city is full of delegates and outsiders. The former are nearly all present. ‘The greatest enthusiasm. prevails in the barrooms of the hotels. Tho softs claim a ma- jority, and will undertake to make Ludlow temporary and Steteon permancnt President. The Mozart Hall and othor hards will be rejected if the softs feel strong. Fernando Wood has been here since Monday. Dean Richmond arrived this morning. Their headquarters is at the Syracuse House. Secret session are held at the Voorhies House. Floyd Jones has the inside track for Secretary of State. Tho rest of tho old ticket is all right. Elderkin stand « ahead for Canal commissioner. ‘Tammany has gent up a platoon of “short boys.” Heenan is also here, accompanicd by a number of aids and the salt pointors aro organizing on the part of the softs. The Convention will not be organized without difficulty. Daniel F. Dickinson arrived this morning. He received his frionds at the Syracuse House during the day. He i very jovial and cheerful ds usual, THE DESPATCH OP ANOTHER CORRES- PONDENT. Synacvax, Sept. 18-10:20 P. M “About two thousand prominent democrats have arrived here to-day from all parts of the State. The State ticket will be selected without regard to antecedents. David R. Floyd Jones will probably get the nomination for Socreta- ry of State. He is an old hardshell from Queens county. Fernando Wood and his friends held a meeting to-night. Poter Cagger sent the mecting a note informing them that they should have tickets of ndmission to the Convention. Stephen P. Russoll said that Harper & Bros. had the ticket “copyrighted,” and moved tw reject the olfer of Cagger, as their certificates wore sufllcient to admit them to the temporary organization. Wood & Oo, elaims 4 majority of the uncontested Boats, Dut there is ng doubt Cagger & Co, will have everything their own way. The dologates to Charleston will be appointed certainly, and they will be Douglas men mostly, Douglas, Cagger Bays, can carry New York in 1860 by fifty thousand, Ryndera, Connelly, Clancy, and all the New York delega- Uon from Tammany are for Douglas. Dickinson may ga four or five delegates. He is here. Fernando Wood & Co. threaten to defeat Caggor & Co." ticket if the Mozart Hall delegation is not admitted. Rym- ders says Wood dare not attompt it: it would kill bins (Wood) politically, Many delegates favor another Convention, to be called in February by the State Central Committes. Others favor the district system. There is fun ahead on the contested seats. Perhaps a bolt and two tickets may be nominated. All are desperate, and are willing to let the State alido this fall for supremacy at Charleston. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF AFFAIRS IN SYRA CUBE. Syracuse, Sopt. 13, 1850, All is uncertainty as to to-morrow’s result. Tho harda claim a majority, not counting contested seats. The softs also claim a majority, but hesitate to give names. We may have some splendid developements yet of Contra Railroad influence. Dickinson is here and advocates harmony, He truss that the professions of the softs aré sincere, but says the proof of the pudding is in the eating. The hards sulbmait the following to the Rogency:— First—An equal division of the New York and Albang delegations. Second—An equal representation on the State ticket. Third—A postponoment until January of tho solection of delegates to Charleston, which shall be by the people of the different districts. The softs will not probably accept all three propoai- tions, and we may im consquence witness a renewal ef tho scene of 1863. THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH. Srraousm, Sept. 13, 1869. ‘The attendance both inside and outside the Convention is already large, and the prominent men of the party have taken the fleld early, ‘The headquarters of both wings of the democracy are at Voorhees House, the rooms of Fernando Wood and Peter Cagger being in close proximity, while those of Isaac V. Fowler, with the whole string of Tammany dele- gates, are only a few doors removed. ‘The appearances at tho quarters of Wood and Cagger Give a fair criterion of the complexion of the Convention, ‘The former are quiet, with plain indications of firmness om thoir countenancos ag they pass in and out, while the lat- ter are crowded to thoir fullest capacity with a confidea- tial air apparent in all. Numerically, as between the hards, who are in favor of the district system, and the softs, who are in favor of electing the Charleston delegates at once, the Convention will stand as follows :—70 to 72 softs, 24 to 26 hards. Thia calculation is closely made aud is probably correct, thougis tho Wood men claim a larger cites , Hon. Daniel 8. Dickinson is at the Syracuse House, and has been visited by Messrs. Cassidy and Comstock, of the Adas and Argus; Comptroller Church, and a number of prconeel including Fernando Wood and the Mozart Halt jelegation. ‘The position of Mr. Dickinson is that of conciliation. He desires a harmonious arrangement as to the organiza- tion, and a fair representation of the hards on the Charles- ton boas, eer Dean Richmond and the Western delegation of softs are atthe Syracuse House. The old State officers are to be renominated, with the exception of Hon. Gideon Tucker, Secrotary of State, whe declines a renomination, and whose place will probably be filled by Floyd Jones or Judge Scott. To-night the chances favor Mr. Skinner, of Herkimer, and Judge Scott are talked of for Canal Commissioner. ‘The Convention will be temporarily organized with S. T. Fairchild, a Cass democrat, of Madison, or perhaps Jobn Stryker, of Rome, for President. The permanent President will be Wm. H. Ludlow, ua- less some change of the programme takes place before morning. The probability now seems to be that there will be very. few contested seats, many thought to be contested de- clining to appear. ‘The New York case will most likely be settled by a re- solution declaring that as the last Convention decided in favor of the Tammany delegates, and no now features have arisen since, the Tammany delegates are entitled te seats. This will exclude Fernando Wood from the floor, Dut ‘in that case he will take the seat of Lewis A. Edwards, of Suffolk, who has the power of substitution on the Mozart Hall side. Mr. Wood claims a greater number than is hero given him, and in- sists on having the case of the New York contested seate beard before Convention. Appearances now indicate that all will be harmonious between the friends of Mr. Dickinson and the softs. ‘The Charleston delegation will undoubtedly be chosen e former. now. The will have probably two del at Jargs to two softs, and a third or rather more of State delegation. bi ‘The Wood party held a caucus this evening, which waa largely attended, although Messrs. Mather and Sholl, and some otner Dickinson men remained outside. hes were made by Messrs. Wood, John A. Greeno, Jr., and others, all friendly insisting’ on an equal division ef the Charleston Delegation and tho State Committes and am equal representation for Tammany and Mozart Hall in the Convention. 5) resolute, but conailiatory in tone. Mr. Russell, of Ulster, waited on the softs to ascertain the truth ofa rumor, that no delegate would be admitted without tickets, and no tickets issued to any contestants Tho hards were informed that every delogate aud contestant would receive tickets and be admitted to the floor. The hards thereupon re- solved to accept tickets this time in view of the emergency of the case, but declared against receiving tickets or submitting to that mode of admis- sion hereafter. They resolved also to present the name of Thomas G. Alvord, ex-Speaker of the Assom- bly, for presiding officer of the Convention. Tho Wood men insist further on choosing their owm share of the Charleston delegation. If tho; have the privilege of doing so they will name Fernando Wood and John A. Greeno, Jr., of Onondaga, soft side it is as delegates at large. On the Proposed to concede Delos De Wolf and Mr. Bronson or Mr. Schell as delegates at large. Dean Richmond will be Delegate at Large on the soft side, and probably Isaac V. Fowler. Among the candidates for State delegates are George Sanders, Nelson J. Waterbury, Hon. John C. Mather, Jom Cochrane, Judge Capers and Judge Berrean. Mr. Dickinson appears anxious to conciliato, but wishes the Mozart Hall delegates to have a represcutation in tha Convention. Dr. Sawyer, of Blackwell’s Island, is offered the nomi- nation of State Prison Inspector, and will be nominated if he will accept. Comptrolier Church and Attorney General ‘Tremaine have been actively engaged to effect a compromise and. come to a harmonious agreement with Mr. Wood. The city is now very full of delegates, and there will be a crowded Convention to-morrow. Duncan 8. Magee, one of the Tammany delegates, has @ letter from his contestant on the Mozart Hall side, de-~ claring to contest his seat, and expressing the wish that Mr. Magee will act for the union and harmony of tha party. ‘During the evening a fracas took place at the bar of the Voorhees House. Some Syracuse politician commenced to loudly abuse Mr. Wood, when his friends, after standing the abuse for a considerable time, pitched im aud whipped the Syracusan badly. Deputy Sheriff Davis interfered, and was also badly beaten, his lip and head being cut severely. Kings County Politics.
