T. Mason, of the Kighteenth ward, thought that the market houses of New York were fiothing but a parce! of sheds, far behind those of other cities; he considered it time for all to move in the matter; there was, in his opin fon, a great need of greater market facilities in that io- eality; they might rely apon the Eighteenth ward b a}} in favor of it. Mr. Tovsey, of the Ninth ward, wanted to know if re- marks in opposition would be in order? Mr. Kane opposed his speaking. Mr. G. Sixaxs hoped the gentleman woukl bre allowed to speak; let us hear all sides. A vote being taken, it was decided that both sides should be heard. : Mr. Tovsxy came forward with a written speech. Ho was opposed to the general principle of market bouses, ‘ut was as much in favor of a market hore ag in any other part of the city, but looked upon market houses as the resnlt of old fogy ideas, imported from Earane, on the principle that the government must take care of the poo- ple.

Messrs. Sickles, Clarke, Kane and Fairbanks followed n fayor of the resolution, all urging tho importance of a market further up town.

SPECIAL DESPATCHES TO THE HERALD. Syracuse, Sept. 14, 1859. ‘The late vigils of nine out of ten of the thousands that, crowd this place, have caused the public and private haunts of wirepullers, delegates and outsiders, to be less early frequented this morning than otherwise would have been the case, Within an hour, ‘however, all has been anxiety, gossipping and excitement. The occupation, in fact, of all but a very few individuals is confined to the invention, circulation and propagation of the very idlost and most pucrile ramors—most of them having reference to the Charleston Convention, but some to attempted com- Promises on the part of Mozart Hall, and the manner in which the the contesting New York dolegation will be received at Wieting Hall. The great Moguls of the Re- gency have not yet, however, issued their fiats; and, be- yond conjecture, and the certainty that the Tammany delegates will be admitted to the exclusion of all others, nothing is known with cortainty, Nothing could bettor illustrate the arrogant, insulting manner in which the Confidence Cassidy clique carry out their game, than the affectation of mystery and secrecy that they reserve towards colleagues whose services to the State date from the period when they wero either slaughtering cattle or scrubbing the decks of a canal boat. fome of the hardy old-stagers of the democracy complain Ditterly that the HraLp should permit these railroad up” starts to assume the name, as they have done the powers, of the grand old Regency. A statesman, covered with honor and with years, was recapitulating this morning the outlines of the career of the old Van Burenitos, and com- paring them with the petty, rascal-mongering windings and twistings into power of their pseudo successors. De Witt Clinton, then Governor of New York, died in the year 1827. He had victoriously accomplished the great ends of his official life, in spite of the opposition of Martin Van Buren, the leader of the party called the “bucktails,”” who was then in the Senate of the United Ftates. When the news of Clinton’s deceaso reached ‘Washington, a meeting was instantly called by Van Buren in the library of Congress, at which he himself presided, and which passed resolutions expressive of the profound regret which his loss occasioned, and of the deep and abiding admiration which must ever be felt for his states- manlike character, and invaluable and unparalleled ef- forts for the prosperity of his native State. In a word, Martin Van Buren, ais rival out of the way, resolved to be the heir tothat very policy which he had previous- jy denounced, and to benefit by the acts of which he bad pretended tw despise. That meeting in the library of Congress may" be considered as tho first initiatory step towards the old Albany Regen- cy, which dated its power from that epoch, and which numbered among its ranks some of the ablest, most far-sighted and energetic politicians and statesmen whom the country has ever produced. Among them were Wright, biarcy, Bouck, Edwin Croswell (of the Albany Argus), Young, Tilden, Hoffman, and a host besides ‘They saw the unfailing source of political and financia aggrandizement in the canals, and determined to make them the means of acquiring power and fortune, From 1827 forwards the Regency extended their feelers into every section and corner of the State of Now Vork. ‘They kept registers of tho most reliable and influential district und even township leaders, and either bought or sought to terrify them into submission. They assumed the control over canal and all other kinds of patronage, and used it freely for their own benefit and that of their friends. Ina very short time they became omnipotent, and after 1828, when Van Buren leagued with Calhoun to make Jackson President of the United States their power became unrivalled throughout the Union. They occupied the highest pleces everywhere, and by means of their ramified land speculations in Otsego and other localities Where the canals were causing a rise in real estate, Van Buren, and many of his intimates, also wade large private fortunes. The Regency managed New York for ton years—until they were defeated by Seward. The reason of this defeat, in 1888, was that, notwithstanding their shrewdness in State matters, they failed to conciliate the public in the conduct of national affairs. The Sub-Treasury alone, in connection with the financial revulsion of 1837, would have prostrated even more powerful men. From that time, Van Burenism proper began to decline, and it had sunk so low, in 1844, that Polk defeated Van Buren be- cauge it was believed in the National Convention that the latter was not strong enough to carry his own State. The slavery question complicated issues, and the death ‘wound of the “radical democracy”? was received during the Wilmot Proviso quarrel, so that its Just expiring effort was made in 1846, and it was killed, with the whole ‘Van Buren clique, by the election of Gen. Taylor to the Presidency of the United States in 1848. That election made an end, forever and ever, of the grand old Regency which, with all its fanits, was composed ef gentlemen—of whom Wright, Van Buren himself, and the kind and po- lished Cros wero types—who acied as gentlemen, fought as gentlemen, died as gentlemen, and whom histo- ry will give the place to which posterity always assigns to talent united with success and worth. And it is from this flae old school of politicians that the dirty traitors and menials of Albany at the present time presume to steal their nam What is their history? They ‘camo into power, virtually, under poor Piorce, after 1862, when the latter attempted, with their aid, to strangle out the life of the old national domoerats, whom he had thrown overboard with Judge Bronson. ‘Their principal leaders had previously been connected either with butcher- ing character in a small way in the interior, or with shys- tering, or railroad jobbing, anti) they had become able to make their bancful influencgfelt through the patron of the New York Central, and had formed that combination for the purchase of the canals, which ia their secret aim now, and will be one of the operating causes in the Con- vention about to be held. ‘They finally pitched on Cassidy, a ceribbling ex-vender of bad veal, well acquainted with the language of the shambles, for whom they bought oat the old avgus and established their present Albany or- gan, Cassidy hae gratified their tastes and pride in every reepoet—cepecially by bis Judas Iscariotiam in the Wise- Dounelly matter—s0 that, since the beginning of Inst month, ho and his brother-in-law, Cagger, have been en- trusted with the greater part of the slate-making and roguery, by which the democratic party are being bam- doozled and cheated. ‘They have got the district system ‘@nt of the way, and to-day or to-morrow will name the gang who are to represent the New York plunder cliqne at Charleston. Richmond is becoming #0 ‘unwieldly that he cannot do much, and the only persons whe have been really consulted as to the movements to ‘be made here are John Stryker, Fowler and a few others. And these little political policy dealers call themselves the successors of Martin Van Buren, Marcy ond Siles ‘Wright! It is evident that the great problem which Cagger & Oo. wore endeavoring to solve last night was, how far it ‘would be possible to cheat the hards without damaging themselves. Thus bogus accounts were circulated with reapect to the relative strength of the two sections in tho Binte Conyeation, and fhe city of New Yark and the opun- try were played off, the one against the other, for the purpose of decviving both. The name of Greene C, Broa- fen was used by thom with profonnd veneration, a though it would be o quasi sacrilnge for any minor lightto, intrude itkel among the delegates at largo, while they were wellaware that Mr. Bronson wasand isnobody’s candilate, and probably would decline in favor of his soft alternate if appointed, Collector Schell is pos forward by his friends in the moet emphatic manner, and his being one of the four to be chosen is urged as due to Mr, Bochauan; but the gang will shirk Rim off if they can, and declare up to this mcmnent that his appointment is impossible. Yesterday, too, thed offered the hards half of the romain- der of the delegation, but backed out and stepred for- ward, unti! to-day nobody knows where they are, As everything will change before night I send you these do- tajle before they are effaced by the positive facts which will begin to tranepire in another hour. “Harmony”? and mutual cangratulations upon the con- cort that prevails and.wi!! prevail, is the watchword of all dartics, But this harmony is being cut and dried before hand after the most despotic fashion. Let it be un- derstood, say the Cassidy Moguls, that ‘no man who is opposed to anything whatevor that may be agreed upon by us, shall in any cage go to Charleston, or gt any bread» fish or cheese from the national treasury, when we shall have made a President.” This threat, with plenty o° Jndiously applied flattery and lying, enables them, while greasing the wheels to tighten the screws. Yet, there is much Joud muttering, and a hard caucus was held last night, at which it is understood that there was something more pungent than oi! in the castor on the table, and that if the dishes to be presented to-day are not properly cooked, a fry was to be kept in the back ground which may startly the Caggetites considerably, and make them more Hberal. It is a bargain‘and sale business, however, altagether, and a very dirty business in all of its ramifica ‘tions, More'soon. WHAT WAS DONE IN THE CONVENTION. ‘Srescons, Sept. 14—1 P. M. Several minutes before twelve, no one being in Weiting Hal except the Mozart Hall delegation, one of them moved that Thomas G. Alvord, of Syracuse, be chairman. Ina second it was pronounced carried, and an unparalleled soene of disorder followed. - John Cochrane, who attempted tospeak, was nearly cried down, and was interrupted by a fisticuff demonstration on the part of several Mozart Hall men while speaking on a resolution regretting the differences of New York and moving the admission of both delegations, The Bencia Boy and several other bullies sat in the front seats. At twelve, Petor Cagger, as chairman of the State Oom- mittee, called the meeting to order, and moved that John Stryker be chairman. Carried amidst a noise and tumult perfectly diabolical. A man from the Thirteenth ward, shot in s Tammany Hall braw! six months ago, named Nealy ‘Woods, came behind Stryker, while standing on the plat- form, and pushed him violently down to the floor, a dis- tance of several feet, hurting him not dangerously, but severely. The shricks and cries meanwhile rendered hearing almoet impossible; but John Cochrane shouted out 2 resolution, that as violence had been offered, the meet- ing had better adjourn until one o'clock. Carried unani- mously. AN then left but the Mozart Hall men, Stryker limping away as best he could. Neither Cassidy, Richmond, Fowler, nor any of their people, wore in the hall from the beginning to the end. The friends of Mr. Dickinson are even more indignant than the softs at this proceeding. Two O'Croox, P. M. Before the Mozart Hall mecting adjourned a split took place among them, a portion justifying and others con- demning the outrage which had been perpetrated. Wood's speech was coldly received. The State ticket, which is nominated, was based upen the supposed future action of the regular Convention. It was as follows:— Secreta , - General— ‘Vanderpool. Canal Commissioner—Wra, J. Skinner, . State Prison Inspector—Noble 8. Elderkin, of Lawrence. ‘uilge of the Court of Appeals— Alexander L. Johnson. we of the Court of Appeals—Edward Simpson, of New ‘ork. It was algo resolved that the State Committee be autho- rized to fill vacancies caused by non-acceptance. Two, if not three, of these nominations may be rejected. by the regular Convention, but the rest were previously decided on, ‘The Mozart Hall delegates when individually inquired of whether they approved of the violence and unparlia mentary conduct which had taken place, replied, general- ly, “Yes,” that they did; that ‘mob law” was Tammany law and that they only emulated it. The State, they said would disapprove, but the State might “go to hell.’ ‘Their object was to build up Wood in New York, and it they snecoeded in this the rast of the State might be ever lastingly damned. A few more moderate delegates were however, disgusted, and with difficulty were prevented ting alt . fens ee Four o’Cuoce P. M. ‘The Regulsr State Convention met as agreed upon at a little after one o’clock. Wm. Ladlow was appointed Chairman, and soon after the Hon. Dane 8. Dickinson came into the halland delivered an address, which his friends pronounce to be the most feeling and eloquent that ever proceeded from his lips. His denounciations of the irregularities of the morning were scathing and sar- castic in the extreme. His popularity ig at the boiling point, and itis shared by Messrs. Edwin Croswell, Au- gustus: Schell, John ©. Mather and other hards in consequence of a protest which they drew up in the course of the afternoon, and signed to the effect that as members of the democratic party they had ever sought with a liberal respect for differences of political opinjgn among friends to advance its interests; that violence had always beon discountenanced by them and met with their unqualifled condemnation. No fancied good or redress of supposed injury, they insist, can justify a resort to such expedients. The occurrences of this day and the premature organization of a Convention at WietIng Hall can be viewed by them in no other light; and they deem it a bonden duty to protest, as democrats, againat the outrages with which that organization was accompa- nied. ‘They congratulate the democracy upon the unani- mity and harmony which prevailed. At the subsequent mecting of tho Convention, and at the appearance at it of nearly every delegate from all parts of the State, augur good instead of ill as an ulti- mate result. In fact, every delegate except three was present when the roll was called at the meeting of the re- gular Convention. 11 is to be deplored that in the face of the shameful events of the forenoon, the Convention de- termined to appoint the delegates to the Charleston Con- vention. Had they been politic, not to say generous, they would have abandoned this iniquitous project, but lust of federal plunder is clear down in the very hearts of the Casziny, Cagger & Co. programme, and they will not ubandon it. They feel the less difficulty in insisting npon carrying out their views that not one of their gang happen- od to be present when the acts of violence in the morning took place. ‘The letter of the hards, signod by Messrs. Dickinson, Croswell, Schell, and others, protesting against the con- duct of the Mozart Hall men and their Benicia Boy friends, will appear exclusively in the Hxracy of Friday morning. Nig o’Ciock P.

The events of today have also retrograded action con- siderably. More will transpire to-morrow. The whole Regency are at work writing out resolutions. The admin- istration will be endorsed in the fullest manner. The opposition will be charged with the plundering of the public through the canals, and the endeavor to sell them, and the modest proposition will be made that they shall be put into the breeches pookets of the Confidence clique and their masters; opposition to a slave cote and slave traffic will be set forth unambiguously, and high Buchanan ground will be taken en the doctrines of Turri- torial sovereignty and kindred matters; the Dred Scott de- cision will ba a”ectionately patronized. ‘The Registry law will be represented asa trap laid in collision with Know Nothings to cheat the people, which Cissidy and Richmond will seek, however, t» improve to their own advantage.

About one o’clock Sheriff Kelly and Thomas H. Ferris, Of the Fourteenth ward, met. Kelly charged Ferris with knocking Stryker off the platform, whereupon Ferris called Kelly a War. Kelly returned this compliment, similarly saying at the name-time that he could whip Ferris. Ferris doubted Kelly's ability to whip him and pulled off his coat. ‘The incipient mill, however, was thwarted by the in- tervention of mutual friends, Heenan stood near by, get- ting his muscle into working order while the above took place. ‘The anticipated fun on the contested seats was pre- cluded by Wood & €0. organizing a separate Convention, which Convention permanently organized at 8 o’clock P.

Should the Cagger-Cassidy Convention nomi- nate other parties for two or three of the above offloee, ‘Wood & Co. intend to suppor the Cagger ticket. The Cagger Convention will appoint twenty Douglas delegates, and the balance Dickinson men; but a resolution will be adopted “ py the Convention binding the delegates to vote ag a unit ‘at Charleston, which of course puts,Dickinson hors de com- Vat at Charleston, as far as the Empire State is concerned. ‘The action of the Wood Convention to-night has caused a panic among the Douglasites..

Douglas is dropped because his money ig all spent, and Guthrio is taken up because the spoilamen believe he can be bled to the tno of half a milion of dollars, Tt is believed he is worth two millions; Dut this i doubtless an exaggeration. He has, however, evough to make a good thing for the butchers of the Re- gency. Itis suid he cares not so much for money as for honor; and if that be so, he is just the man to suit them. It is for him that Wise has been victimized, and Dickinson goon will be. The latter, notwithstanding the treachery of the Regency to Wise, now gives thom his confidence. He will repent when it is too late, and so will Guthrie by the time the Albany harpies have done with him, unless ho is sharper than they are, ‘This is the grand object in hurrying up the appointment of delegates to the Charles- ton Convention.

YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1859—TRIPLE SHERT. ; PETER CAGGER THE THURLOW WEED OF THE DEMOURATIO PARTY. Syascusn, Sept. T4—10 A. M. The State Central Committee havo Just issued the follow- ing notice, which i@ poste! in ail the hotele:— DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION * WIETING ;HALL At 12 u'clock M.” Tickote for the admission of delegates and contestants can be had by avplying at No. 2 Voorhees House. By order of the STATE COMMITTEE. No, 26 is Peter Cagger’s room. This coucluston of the State Committee to issue tickets meets with vory general disapproval by the hards, and especially the Mozart Hall men of New York city, who say it virtually places the whole matter of who are delegates or not with Poter Cagger, and that the whole ticket system was got up for that pur- pose. Many of the delegates declare they will not procure Uckets, but insist upon an admission by virtue of their credentials. A stormy time is pretty generally antici- pated, it becoming more evident every minute that the Regency are aiming to pack the delegation to Charleston for Douglas. THE PROGRAMME OF NOMINATIONS. ‘Synacvss, Sept. 14—11 P. M. Matters are assuming @ definite shape. The Mozart Hall delegates held a caucus this evening at Mr. Wood's room, Mr. Dickinaon was invited by a committee to at- tend, but ne positively declined, which ix cousidered a pointed rebuff. A full ticket was then made out but was withdrawn, and the State Committee authorized to act, which means acquicacence in the ticket to be nominated by the regular Convention to-morrow. ‘That ticket will be pretty nearly as follows—The reno- mination of the present Comptroller, Attorney General, State Engineer, Treasurer, with Floyd Jones for Secretary, Skinner for Commissioner, Ederkin for Inspector, John- zon for Judge, and Lewis , of Yates, for Clerk of Appeals. ‘There is considerable feeling and quite @ contest about delegates to Charleston, to be selected to-morrow by the regular Convention. Schell has been run off the course. ‘The Dickinson stock has gone up wonderfully, it being considered that the movements to-day have improved his chances and strengthened the party In the State. THE DETAILS OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. ‘Syracvag, Sept. 14, 1859. ‘The excitement continues as the time of meeting of the Cenvention approaches. Tickets of admission to the hall have been issued to all the delegates and contestants. Fernando Wood, John A. Green, Gideon J. Tucker and other hards, have been in session this morning, and re- solved to claim a hearing before the Committee on the New York contested seats, and to oppose to the extremity any attempt to settle that question by resolution. Mr. Dickinson advocates an equal representation for Mozart and Tammany on tho floor, and counsels mode- ration. Mesers. Rogers, of Erie, Schell and Mather, do not act cordially with the Wood party. Edwin Croswell is here, and has been in consultation with Messrs. Wood and Dickinson. The Convention will organize temporarily at noon, The softs are confident, and talk conciliation. The ‘Wood men positively incist on selecting all their share of the delegates to Charleston themselves. Before twelve o’clock the gallery of the hall was crowded densely with epectators, and a large number of delegates were present, with a number of outsiders, GRAND COUP OF THE MOZART HALL FACTION. Immediately on the stroke of twelve, Hina C. Sxrm, of Monroe, jumped on the floor, and moved that Thomas G. Alvord be temporary Chairman of the Convention. The vote was instantly put and carried. Immense ex- citement followed, tho majority of the Convention being taken by eurprise so terribly as to prevent any attempt at amendment. Instantly on the vote being declared Thomas G. Alvord was on the platform, took the chair, and called the Con- vention to order. A motion was then instantly made to elect Moessr: Shankland, of Cattaraugus, and J. B. Hall, of Schoharie, recretaries. This resolution was also carried, amidst a perfect panic on the part of the softs. ©. D. Mexnay, of Cattarangus, immedia floor, and moved the following resolution:— Resolved, That, regretting the difficulty in the demo- cratic party in the city of New York, thie Convention will not decide upon the regularity of the’ two existing organi- zations there, and hereby admits to seats both of the de- Jegations from that city, with equal rights upon this floor. Loud and overpowering shouts of “ Question,” “ Ques- tion,” “ Question,” from all parts of the hall. y ‘The main portion of the Convention, who stated it now wanted fifteen minutes to twelve o’clock, here entered the hall. SYMPTOMA OF A ROW, Mr. CocuRAN® took the floor. ‘This was the signal for a row, although all previous motions had been rushed through amidst the inost intense excitement. The Wood men all oocupied the front of the hall, promi- nent among them being Benjamin Rar, Andrew Sheehan, Heenan, the “Benicia Boy,” and other powerful men. Mr. Wood was cool, but very pale, and Mr. Alvord, in the che vas the very impersonifieation of firmne@ and determination. It was evident instantly that the pro- gramme was to be carried out throughany circumstances and regardless of consequences. Mr. CoaHang, us soon as be spoke, was eurrounded by a crowd of adversaries, but pressing forward to the front of the Convention, he stood on a seat, and persevered until silence was partially restored, He denounced in severe terms the whole proceedings. This, he said was nota vnvention. (Loud cries of “Down,” “down.”) It was ctyhe repeated, convention. It was pretended :to be irganized in a bogas manner before the time, and he de- ounced all who took part in the shameful proceedings. ‘The Cuark requested him to confine himself to the ques- tion before the Convention. JOHN COCHRANE WARMING UP. Mr. Cocmrine denied the right of the Chair to cali him to order. He continued to argue warmly for some time, and concluded by moving to lay the resolution on the table. Mr. C. D. Muray rose to speak. Mr. Cocuraxx—I call the gentleman to order. tion is not debatable. ‘The CuarmMan—The Chair does not fee) at liberty at this stage of the proceedings to refuse to allow a motion to lay on the table to be debated, Mr. Cocurayr—I appeal from the decision of the Chair. Mr. Atvorn—The Chair recognizes no man’s right to ap- peal until the regular organization is effected. This decision created immense excitement. THE EXCITEMENT INCREASES. Dey S. MaGxe jumped on a bench and addressed the Convention at the same time with Mr. Murray, the Chair rapping them to order, and not a word suid by either being audible. My mo- TTACK OF THE SOFT SHELLS. At this instant Perer Cacexr appeared on the platform, with his watch in hand, and said. GYNTLEMEN oF THK ConvENtION—The time having arrived. for the organization of this Convention, I move that John Stryker, of Oneida, be temporary chairman. xells, cheers and the most deafening shouts greeted this motion, rendering it almost inaudible. Mr. Cagger, mean- time, stood coolly and firmly up to the edge of the plat- form, while a crowd began to gather round jim of the most violent kind at its foot. When the motion was put, a loud response in the affirmative was heard above the din, and Mr. Stryker coming forward, took a chair beside that of Mr. Alvord’s, there being a small table for the Secretary beside the desk. The proceedings were now carried on in dumb show. Mr. CAGGER remained standing beside the desk, p ceeding with the temporary organization by naming Mesers. Hall, of Schoharie, and Skinner, of Wyoming, as temporary secretaries. Meantime Mr. Mcnray was still addressing Mr Alvord, Mr. ALvorD was rapping continuously for order, and Mr. STRYKER Was putting the motions offered by Mr. Cagger. Suddenly Benjamin Rae appeared on the platform, aad the Convention all rose to their feet and pressed forward to the Chairman's desk. Shouts of “Sit down,” “Sit down,’ were heard above the din, and personal altercations carried on in all the front portion of the hall. Mr. Wood having moved on hia side the appointment of a Committeo on Credentials, Mr. Alvord put the question and declared it”¢arried, while Mr. Stryker was at the game time putting the question on the appointment of se- cretaries. Mr. Woon meved for a committee of one from each j- dicial district on permanent organization. Mr. Alvord declared it carried, while Mr. Sirykor, de- cided that it was lost. TUR BATTLE RAGRS FIRRCELY—ASHAULT ON MB. STRYKER, DESPERATE PRATS OF ARMA. ‘The excitement had now reached a fearful height, and ax Mr. Stryker rose 60 as to make his voice better heard, ‘aman named Cornelius Woods, said to be employed in the public stores, struck or pushed him behind, and he felt violently forward from the platform, which is over five feet high, to the floor of the Convention. ‘The took the founded through the hall, the Wood men joining im the denunciation of the act. Mr. Cochrane arose on his aeat and attempted to speak in denunciation of the raflanty and murderous assault. At this {ustant several of the Wood men made a rush for Mr. Cochrane, and were confronted by Capt. Isaiah Rynders, . Hot words passed between Rynders and. Shoe- han and Rae, and twoor three blows were struck in the crowd, but without effect. Mr. Wood made towards the combatants, when James Karrigan, leaping over the beuches, rushed to Mr. Wood, and, ‘aking his fist in his face, exclaimed, “Stop this f stop it at once, Tsay, or you shal suffer, for you Vegan st.’? M:. Wood seized the coat of either Rac or Sheehan, and pulle him out of the crowd, calling on him to desist. BYNDORS IN DANGER—THE SOFTS SOUND A RETREAT. At this time the wildest excitement prevailed; severah pistols ere drawn, and one {e #aid to have been pointe® at Ryn ers. Wood had evidently the strongest party so far as fighting was concerned. ‘THE SOFTR RETIRE IN GOOD ORDER. Yr. Cocmnae, with a few remarks about the disgrace ful scene, moved an adjournment till one o'clock. Nothing could be heard; bat Mr. Srryuem declared the motion car- ‘The largest portion of the Convention then ‘withdrew; but a crowd pressed forward, and it was impocsible to tell how many delegates remained in the hall, Peace was then restored, and MR.
