OUR MPECLAL TRENTON DEBPATCIES, Trenton, July 25, 1860. Bow factions of the democratic party went ‘nto general secret caucus last night at ten o’clock, the straight out Douglas men ‘n the large Temperance Hal), and the ‘Onionists in the basement of the same building. They re- mained in secret confab until midnight. No person was admitted to eithor unless be was sound on the goose, f= accordance with the interpretation of the leaders of each faction. Speeches were made ‘n both meetings, these in the straight out Douglas caucus were J against fusion with the other branch, all of the wpeakers declaring Douglas the regular nominee and acing Breckinridge in the same position of Van Buren am 1848, declaring that no person that went for fegularity ‘a the party could even indirectly recognise the seceders. The whole tenor of the speeches were opposed to even ap- Bly ing for admittance in the Union Convention. A sense of those present was Qnally taken cpon the question of ‘eniting with the other body, which they termed irrega- dar, and it was unanimously decided not to have anything te do with them. A committee of one from each county ‘was then appointed to talkywith the several delegates that would arrive in the morning from their respective coun- tes and solicit their co-operation, after which the caucus adjourned until this morning, at ten o’clock, to draw up recruite and prepare for general public action. ‘The caucus of the regulars was well attended. A num- ber of speeches were made, ai) of which were strongly in favor of an union electoral ficket embracing both the Bouglas and Bell men. A proposition was submitted that ticket of three Douglas, two Breckinridge and two Bell wen be formed with the instructions that they should cast their votes for either of those three men which it would elect, but if their vote would not elect either then wt should al) be cast for Dovglas. Tha: proposition seemed to meet with general favor, and on motion it was decided to refer it to @ committee of five, that committee % be authorized to report # resolution wo the Committee on Resolutions appointed by the Convention covering the pont. Upon the adoption of that motion, the caucus ad- ourned. The regulars have thus decided to present a peece offering to the Dougiasitee, giving them an oppor- vanity to refuse or accept. The caucuses having adjourced, the wrangles a: the kovele commenced. Nothing was heard until long after ‘he emall hours of the night but tbe crice of bogus and 'raitors, regwar and irregular; the longer the controversy wae Kept up the more bitter the feeling vetween the fac- ons, Never @id the ticang and the demooracy soanifest vo bitter feeling toward cach other aa did the two \Setions last pight.

MASS MERTING AT DOLTON’S HALL—EXCITING AND INTERESTING SCENES, The Be and Everett Convention made a somewhat for- midabie display at Trenton, New Jersey, yesterday. The 00d people of the quiet city were never so startled for many & year as they wore on this occasion, by the excite- ment of three Conyentionz on the game day. The head quartere of the Belend Everett men was at the Ameri- can Hotel, and the'r place of meeting a large building called Dolton's Hall, immediately opposite. These two places were besieged by crowds of people from all parts of the State,as well a@ by many from New York and Pbiladeiphie. The arrival of the delegaves, at belf past eleven o'clock, was made known by the sounds of martial music, and presently after a compact body of men, numbering about two hundred, were seen marching up the main street of Trenton, preceded by several musicians con >oct- ed with the Camden Band,a very promising and pro- greasive musical organization, The procession attracted considerable attention on their way to the Americas Hotel. Tho whole party seomed to be animated by very hopefwl and volatile spirits as they marched boldly past the Douglas headquarters at tho Trenton House, On ar- riving in front of tho American Hotel, where a large crowd was assembled to greet them, the Camirn band drew wp in line and played a patriotic air, while the delegates, in unison with the crowd, sent up three deafening cheers for Bell and Evevett. They then entered. the American iotel, where they were re ived by Mr. J. V. D. Joline, the obliging proprietor, W. Allen, and escorted to the rooms sot r temporary use. Here they were sup. DN nece ary retre sbm and when they overed from the fatigues of & march and th heat of the day, they were conducted to the hall of the Convention The Convention was cal at about ball past twelve o clock. On motion of Mr. F. Berm, Judge apanimously selected to preside over the Convention. James ‘ation, of Durlington, Chas. D. Deshler, of Hudson, were nominated as secre tar On taking the chair, Jadge Peveuwe said he had no set speech to make. He came their to lend nis hearty aid to carry out the full success of their elec Ucket, and be would, therefore, call on the Convention to provesd to (applause. ) A proposition was then made and carried that five gen Hlemen from each Congressional district be appointed to Grrapg® @ permanent organ ‘zation.

Tre Chatkwas stated that at three o'clock In the after. noon Mesare. H. W. Pull 1 Jacob Broom, of Maarach. setts, Would address the Convention.

AFTERNOON #ERSION. The Convention met, pursuant to adjournment, at bail: past two o'clock, when the attendance was tomething larger than it bad been in the morning. Tho Convention was thrown into a state of excessive excitement when Colonel Clark , of Huntingdoa, was escort ed to the chair as President of the permanent organiza tion. The whole Convention rose to their feet bya simul- Yencous movement, and for some minutes grew perfectly wild w th cptbusiaun. After taking his seat, Mr. C.imxm made a somewhat lengthy and cloquent sprect. Ho by addressing the Convention ag Union men, resolved to stand by the covst hought that in thos styling them he was conferring the highest bonor upon them and citizen of the United States and of New etorelingly for the high hon: ing bim as chairman of the anization, @ portion which be did not than any other gentleman. He regretted to have th realty of saying that thay wore met that tay under ¢ rcumstanos such as have not oecurred in the of the country since our foretathers met, before or the Revolutionary war, The question that pre elf for their conaideration was tbe union of dis order by Col.

He wan satisfied in his own mind that the is sues were about to bo trie’, ani that vory shortly. He had no higher ambition than to be ranked amerg those who had been denounced as Union savers. If God over devigned biessings fur the human famiiy in thie world, he certainly meant that they abould be fully developed in thie Uoion. The great object for which our fathers fought and died was the inviolability of the Union, and it Was now the duty of their sons to stand by the e¢\fiee which their ancestors had bullt op at fuch a cost of blood and devotion, To maintain this happy state of things be would advise them to rally around Bell and Everett.

He warned this would be a very unsafe course to pursi for carrying Bel) and Everett victoriously throug! conflict if it could be done, and the only chance be eaw of doing 80 was bot in pracesd) Dut by cool- ness, caution and discretion. At this juncture of the proceedings some confusion took place at the lower end of the room, distracting attention of the Convention trom the remarks which were being addressed to them. 1. 00m became apparent that a scullle was in progress, but the sa- Usiactory sound of bodies tumbling down o precipitous fligbt of etairs showed those in the other part of the room that the belligerents were being foraibly and summarily ejected. This was conlirmed by a yoice claiming Uhat it was nothing bot two democrats tenting, As soon aé this bub-bub had subsided, Mr, Hatarep resumed his remarks, and contended that it would be by far the safest plan to mocept the propos)- Mion of the committes conditionally. Hs would, there fore, propose tbat the Chairman b> empowered to add two more names to the Executive Committee of three from each Congressional district, with full powers, in case of necessity, to substitute other names en the Bell and Everett ticket, The proceedings of the Convention, which up to this juncture had been singularly pereefal and with tho single exception cited aboy more bellicose and excited aspect. fates rose to address the President, amid cries of “Chair,” HEH re 3 i i sche EdESE § “Chair,” “Order,” “Order.” Bub it was file calling spirits from the vasty deep when they cannot reasonably be expected to come, Al! th rts of the chairman to reserve order in the Cony he copfusion grew momentiv © ¢onfounded.

The Convention did pot seem to know ts own m nd, for this proposition was received with as much, if not more enthusiasm, than that madeJby Mr. Haleted. Loud cries of *‘Queation"’ bow arose, and aa the Conver. tiou was momently becoming more elamorour, the Chair man attempted to put the amgndment deapive of the derperate opposition of Mr. Halethd, when The Bell and Ever One of the Detacates from the centre of the Hall arose and shouted 80 loodly that the Conven tion war compelled to hear him.
