THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION | HARMONIOUS AND ORDERLY PROCEEDINGS The Rival New York Delega- tion Difficulty Settled. Tammany Triumphant and Mozart Admitted as Honorary Members, SPEECH OF EX-GOVERNIR SEYMOUR. Scathing Review of the Radical Policy and Denouucement of Mr, Seward. Adjournment of the Convention Until This Morning. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. Atsany, Oct. 3, 1867. The Democratic State Convention, after com- pleting its organization and patiently listeuing to & few speeches, has adjourned over uniil to- morrow, Mavy of the delegates arrived too late last night to participate in the party caucus, and could not be induced, in the interim which transpired this morning between breakfast and the time of meeting for the Convention, to acquiesce in the “tate ticket which had been made up. The managers of the Convention, however, were determined not to hazard the success of their party by leaving anything to be setiled in the pub- Me deliberations of the delegates, and therefore decided to take another day, and thus obtain time to arrange everything on @ satiefictory basis, The session of the Convention to-day bas been remark- able for the tranquillity and unbroken barmony of ite proceedings. ‘There bas not been a sing!e ripple of discontent so far, and from present in- dications there is little doubt that the business of to-morrow will be despatched in the same quiet aud orderly manner. Mr, Tilden, the chairman of the <tate Central Committee, in calling the Convention to order, expressed himself extremely coniident of a signal vic- tory in November, and gave a very cheering and hopeful account of the reaction now setting in against tue radical extremists in every section of the State, The appointment of Mayor Hollman as temporary chairman was only accomplished by the most strenuous exertions on the part of his friends. ‘The feeling against him among the rural democrats was vVery.strong, and it was felt that the partnership he formed jast year with a certain hovorable pugilist made it Inexpedient for the party to award him a front seat in the present Convention. It was represented, however, by the leading sagamores and sachems of Tammany Bail, that bis chances for. Mayor in the coming charter election woud be seriously injured if he were not endorsed in some way as a deserv- ing and living dranch of the party, and that his election as temporary chairman would silence any seditious rumors that might be put in circula- tion by Fernando Wood to the effect that although Mr. Hoffman had been admitied to the Convention, the party id not really regard hinf as being any more a regular delegate than the Mozart men. He was consequeniiy made temporary chairman, und Fernando's litle game is considerably disturbed. The Mozart and Tammany dificulty, which seemed likely at one time to culminate in a very dawaging and unseemly exhibition, was disposed of in Yess than five minutos Ben Wood arrived last night, and at once’ bevan airing the claims of his ‘erganization to recognition by the party. He simply Coniined histoperacions, how ever, to verbal canvassing, and as it was clear that he was not empowered to make apy treaty or settlement he was pot much noticed by the managers of the Convention. Early this morning the chief with the white mustache put in an appearance, ed by a erewd of his followers, reepectadie in in notoing else, and the basiness was then taken up in earn: It was very Mt stood Mozart cared comparatively hi my the State ticket or the pariy platform might be, so long as it could make a profitable srrang»- ment in regard to the charter election, and mi ry soon adjusted. When tho roll of the New York @elegaies was called a simulated atiempt was mad the an of @ delegate, just to avoid the appearance of the thing being tov cat and dried, to creato a fuss about the Mozart men, The chairman ruled ‘hat the gentie- mao who rose was hot eniitied t the floor. An appeal was taken from his decision, but it was, of course, sux. tained by the Convention As oon a8 the roil was ate succeeded in getting the floor and oiered & resoiuuon that Tammany was tie only regular democratic organization in New York city. By a singularly adroit mancwuvre the resolution was made not debatabie, and was carried with but a few dis- sopting Votes immeuiately alterwards, Another resolu- tion was brought torwari acknowledging the past joyalty of the Mozart organization ‘o the democrat.c party, and recom: ding that the Mozart deiecatioa be Admitted to the floor as honorary members of the on. vention, This resolution was received with thonders of applause and unammousiy earned, an amendmen being, Lowever, introduced by Mr. Ow max rman devegativd also Honorary OCCupan's OF sea! Convention. [be whole waiter was disposed of With an expedition that electrified outsiiers, aud the Driliant aod successiui waoner im whi vhe Biratagem passed ofl bus filled ‘he democratic caup to-nigot with gladness and rejoicings. It was feared at first that Fernando might turn ugly and decline to ac- cept any reasonable compromise, and even might refuse to distribute any baliows for ¢ 8 ticket from bis boxes. Ail misgivings of this kind bave now vanished, god nopes are enteriained tiat thy democratic factions 1p New York, whatever may be their squabble in reier- ence to the lecal offices, will work bermoniowiy end cordaily for the success of the state ticket. The German cement in th» Convention is being sedulousiy courted.

Ihe «peeches of Mr. (Thayer and A, Oakey Hail wore g nerally regarded as merely a ver (or the jmanwavre Ww closed in his mouon to adjourn the Convention o ontil tomorrow. It was evident from the unanimity with which this motion was carried that it was felt to and hece-sary greasure, ort recess betweon the morning and afternoon as very evident from the cloudy faces of the { Canvassing among (he mem- Fessions ii managers afd the earn bers of the convention that things bad not been finaliy arranced, and that if tie nominations were at once pro- cveded With, trouble and eveo danger might be expected.

The New York delegation proper disclaim Y predilection for a particular candidate, and avow themselves ready to vote for auy good ticket upon which the rural inombers can agree, Mozart, however, is said to be working Lard to get Judge Allon some place or other on the ticket, After severai hours of caucusing the 8 ticket bas beea very neariy definitely decided upoo, There isa geoerally prevailing restlessness, however, which may result in @ partial broakiag-ap ot the present slate before light tomorrow moraing.

Nothing, it is believed, will be said in relation to the Presiden:ial policy, and probably there will not even. be a denunciation of impeachment, PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVEYTION. ‘Aunanz, Oct, 3, 1867. Soon after twelve o'clock today the Democratic State Convention was called to order by Mr. Samuel J. Tilden. who congratulated the party because of the full -attendance of the representative men of the party, the harmony apparent everywhere, and the signs, apparent to all, that success will attend the work of to-day, if that work be done wisely and with the sivgle determina- tion of promoting the great democrat ¢ cause, In clooing he hoped the Convention would forget everything except the great public cause, for the alvanceiment of which the delegates had assembled, ignorng ali personal pref- erences and predilections, Act.ng thus, he felt that the party will euter the Presidential contest next year with succoss assured to the party and peace and prosperity to our beloved country.

ADDRES OF MK, Ss YMOUR, Order Deing restored, Mr. Skymoun addressed the Con- vention as follow: GESTIENEN OF THE ConvENTION—We are startled by the cry of the leaders of the party holding poinical power that our country is in great peril. After wading through the bleodshed of civil war that peace, which we bailed with joy, and which they toia us was to give strength amd prosperity io our land, brings new danger to the republic. te cannot, if we would, escape from confronting the problems of the day. Neither safety, honor nor patriotiem wiil suffer us stand dumb or inactive in the dark hour of danger. e e put down rebell we are now struggling with revolution. The first was sectional; the last is univer- sal, fhe first sought to aivide our country; t threatens to destroy it, At the national capital we seo that the party which placed in power the present Chief Magistrate now charges him with treason, and masy o. its leaders have into the public mind the horrible suspicion that he was in league with the murderers who struck down the lio which stood between him and the Executive chair, The world is aghast whije it hears so foul uttered in the bails of the Legislature wit In the House of Representatives members make aga nst each other charges of judicul murder, robbery, th and corruption. alleges his tecal A military member associate plotted the death and carried to the galiows an innocent woman for [gee par; The accuser” is charged in return with the fact of going to the war a poor man and coming back general and a rich laden, not wita spoils victory, but plunder, from those placed under protection. The Congressman who stands up the accuser of the President is coufronted by bid own letter, Leet J bis utter rottenness, We are saved from the hateful task of laying bare the frauds aud crimes of those whoare administering our govera- ment. God's law for punishing the guilty makes them become mutual accusers. In the hate aod rage which ever spring up among criminale, all are anxious to turn Upon and convict their follow. ‘While the Senate has done less to shock the world and bring our government into contempt, it bas been the forum where principles have been as-erted and a pol in tenden policy pursued revolutionary striking suicidal blows against its own oxistence. Its members = hat become the ruling power in our = goverpment—vested with equal rights of lawmaking with the popular branch, Thoy can aiso decide upon all treaties, which, within their scope, rise above the statutes. They con- trol the appointing pa] for the vast patronace of government cin only exercised with their consent. ibey can, a8 & jud ciat body, depose the President or Vice Presideat elected by the people, and put one of their own menbers in the Executive chair, They hold their places by terms longer than those of any other olective braneh of government; yet they do not in the nature of their organization ‘represent the people in form of fact, They are chosen by Legisiatures, not by the people, Sta'es having by the censos of 1860 leew Richmond, Stave Eogineer, Martin Grover, bavivg veld | than one-guarwer of the population of ovr yeuuntry | duo bim, he was forced to take a debased paper at times Sppoint a majority of its members, Nine States, whose Glizens are more than one-half of this people, are Tepresentot by only one-fourth of its members, Tous made up and wielding u power overtopping that of all other branches, they sbould pause acd ponder well before opening the floodgates of revolu- on, Yet, if these members sought to have the Senate rubbed out of the constitational scheme, they could not do acts more hateful to the people or give reasons more powerful for its overthrow than their own teaching with regard to the mgbts of impartial suifrage and by their ac- tion in the face of thew teachings, Col which may be rrun by hostile Indians before the year passes, which cannot by the force of its numbers up- bold the rudiment of a State, to-day balances in the scale the four miilions of people of New York. It was admitted merely to gain two votes in # struggle with the Executive, Buta bolder act is in view unless this dangerous game to get power over the majority by a rottea borough system is stopped. Twenty Sniens are ae be admitted from ten hmaed iy rebellion, not as representatives of the white people, for they are disfranchised; not of the blacks, for it i indiscreet to claim that @ race who are declared by Congress to be unalbe to take care oi them- selves, and are placed under the guardianship of the Freedmen’s Bureau and Military Chiefs, would, as a body, know of the existence of such representatives— but they are to be admitted because they hold the views of the majority of the Senators, and because they are sent to Washington by their agents. These Senators mean to be their own constituents to become a close corporation and to more representatives of their own selection than the majority of the people of the country living m nine States. About sixty republican Senators will, beyond their own votes, bave in the twenty members eent by the Freedmen’s Bu- Teau more representatives than sixteen millions of American people living in New York, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, indi isconsin, Ohio and Missouri, Not content with holding in subjection the people of the South, they mean to extend in the ‘name of the negro their domination over the North and South alike, It would seem that this madness was e ig to make their destrucuon sure, But here, after acts like these, they solemniy declare they are in favor of what they call manhood suffrage. Be it so, But with it must go manhood representation. Manhood suffrage must not be used to destroy the right of the majority of the people of this country. If it is the natural right of a negro in Florida lotave's vote, it is not bis might to have it count forty fold more in the Senate of the United States than that of a man in N York. If it ig the natural right of # maa in New York to have a vote, it is also his natural right to have it count as mucn in the controlling branch of the government as that of aman in Rhode Isiand, If tis revolution is begun 1t must go on to its logical, just end, It must not roilon the necks of the majority of the American people and stop there, but numbers must ‘be represented, not rowwen boroughs or sham States. We implore Senators not to begin revolution, Be con- tent with your vast powers, Your organization ts at war with impartial suffrage and impartial represeniatioa, It you continoe your usurpation the country may not be content witn driving you back within constitutional Dmite, It may go farther, and acting upon doc- trines you assert it may crush you out and make aoother Senate, based in truth upon manhoot frage.

They are not saffer- ing merely irom theoretical wrongs, {he destruction of the carry ng trade of New York and the overtaxation of the Northwest show how unequal distribution of | power makes unequal burdens, During the war of the rebellion we feit the exeriion of the senatorial power upon the weaic head of the enrolling bureau in lixing the quotas of States, While their purposes were to save ther own coustituents from the sacritices of war, by 80 doing they threw upon other States the cost of life aud blood. in New York tis crew into abuses so flagrant that even partisan passions could not be blind to, the outrages. But the Northwestern States suffered the most severely from tots injustice. 1 have the olficial proof that while the average quoius in the Congressional districts of Massachusetts and New Hampslire were 2,167, in Illinois they were 4.004, in Indiana they were 3,248, in Wiscoosin they were 3,172. in Michigan they were 3,047. We ask the people of New England if it is not time for them to stop the stupid malice of their Senators; to put w stop to the teaching that New England jon of natural rights, We present constitutional taw but we seek peace, w uphola the constitutional powers of ail the States, We remember the gloriou part they bore in the revolutiouary contest, If time bas cuavged their comparative population we do not wish to strip tuem of any pviitical power, implore them’ not to teach doctrines which must, in their ends, be destructive to them and burtful to the peace of the country.

This one base act has cost our State tenfold in coin the price of an honest payment of our debts, 1t has thrown Upon us shame which no words can tell, Another cause for the low and at this time waning credit of the government ia, that the business men of the world soe that the statements put forth by the Treasury are used to mislead the people, Ido not charge that they aro untrue; they give the amount of boud and currency dobt and such claims as appear upon the books of the department; but they are used to make the false upon’ the minds of the people the burdens of taxation will soon in w lighter, and that the public securities are gaining real strength and value, Perhapa 16 13 not the fault of the Secretary that they do not set forth other facts which Ql! with alarm every thoughtful man. We are in truth making in this country another form of indebted. mess, which does not appear upon his books, but which are a prior lien to that held by the public creditor. When @ government by {ts policy fastens upon a new and lasting expenses it makes obligations which are as burdensome to the meager, as if they were an- nual interest apon its bonds. When our government entered upon the plan of governing the South by mili- tary pewer, when it resolved to rupture the whole ‘ical structure in one-third of the Union, by dis- the intelligent white man, and giv- jorant negro tical control, it Permanent cost of this government about ‘two bundred millions ry year, The man does not live who will see the day when this military power and its fearful cost can be cut down under the policy which now directs our public affairs, Our public expenses, apart from interest on the debt, have gone up from $58,000,000 in £1860 to about $185,000,000 in 1866; 1f we add the interest on the debt, it foots up $322,000,000. Our rulers are making beyond the cost of the last demo- cratic administration, and beyond the interest on any debt, extra charges upon the Treasury of $127,000,000, or what would be the interest of five per cent on $5,500,006, 000, taxing the people as heavily as the debt, But this ts not all; as these new charges are counted among the expenses of goverment they are prior liens, and must be first paid. If ‘the pledges of the yy im power had been kept, to-day there would have been but a narrow margin between the claims of the bondholder and tho sm paid by revenues into the national treasury. But the world now sees an army with banners, a host of officials and vast and corrupting expenditure wedging in between the public treasury and the public creditor. ‘The latter is constantly pushed back in the order of payment He finds bis demand rapidly sinking towards the bottom of a lengthening nat of claims, ‘Yet the bondholders are called upon by the republican leaders to act as a rear guard to the hosts who are emptying the treasury and puting into their own pockets tho money which should go to the public creditor, ‘This is another peril to the holders of our securitjes; the odicm of taxation ia thrown upon them. "The people are taught that the mcacy wrung from them by the tax gatherer all zoes to the holder of bonds, yet in truth while $137,000,009 was paid for mterest in 1866, $185,000,000 was given to uphoid armies and military power to offl- cials, to Freedmen’s Bureau to feed and clothe the negro, and otber expenses growing out of tho policy of Men of the North, nds crushing cut the southern States, yon will soon fod that the fetters forged for th of the South are lich! indeed compared with ch which are pliced upon your necks, Theapa of the costof eur government beyond 1s 1860 ts equal t» the interest at. six a debt of 92,109.000,000, It is dxe@ to the Secre- tary of the Treasury to say tha, any warning he bas given asanst waste and corrupiion bas been unheeded by Congress, Aro we then les- sening our nation obiigstions?

Itmay be asked if we can cure the evils under which our country labors? It we can lift off the heavy berdea of taxation which crashes onr industry ? If we cap build up the credit of our nation?

Let mo eay a few words to bondholders, It is a hard thing for taxpayers to pay the vational debt. In ® lard thing to pay interest ranging from eight to fifteen per cent, sccording togthe prices you .gave for these bonds, It is still harder to stand by and eee that you bear no part of tie covt of the laws which protect your person and property and educate your children. It is bard for the farmers, with failing prices for their prodece, to stand up under these tings. It is bard ‘or the mechanic to labor ten or tweive hours each day, whem eight hours would support him but for the increased cost of living growing out of taxation, Weare eiruggling to keep the public faith with you, Will you add threefold to these burdens by upholding a policy which @istracts our country, en+ Oangers society, corrupts our government and op- presses labor? Our rulers are as untrue to you as the are to constitutional law and civil liberty, I heard, many years ago, nt tho outset of tho agitation which plunged os into civil war, the men who claim the bonor ‘of that result declare in public assembilos that “slavory ® crime, ond that ail property was plavery.” I hear to-day the like of that cry from Senatorial lps, You can, if you wil, put an end to disorder, corruption and revolutiin, Fut the reports of the Treasury do not sbow the full volume of money drawn from our people by taxation, Ido net speak of the beavy bur- dove of State, coutty or Municipal taxation, These are 3867.—TRIPLE rr | freedom enough 1 the land to let the ¢ | overboard alt their oiliciais r, but |e SHEET. ell marked with the itof cost and ape geadered at the natioual capital. But i your attention to the sums drawn from the 7 which are never reported or accounted for, the tax upon alcohol, and I might many items of illicit traffic where the consuiner jays, Dut the Treasury does not receive, the duties levied. tre amount of alcohol used in this country is about one hundred miltions of gallons; the duties sould bo aloat two hundred millions of dollars each year, The amount paid into the is less than fifty millions. Who gets tho one han and fifty millions? A sum nearly three times great as the yearly cost of the government before the party of “great moral ideas” came into power. This sum is paid by the con- in the arts or for the gratification of his tastes, Every man knows this enormous amount is divided ia some Way—sometimes fairly and sometiines corruptly, between the officer of the law and the violator of the jaw. This tax began with a fraud in Congress, in the darkest days of the rebellion, When the national credit Was at its lowest ebb a foul speculation was contrived by buying up the aicobol in our country, then poties a tax of two dollars per gallon on all that should be thereafter made, but no tax upon the amount thus beld by these conspirators. Millions were thus swept from the Trea- sury into “loyal pockets.” Those who made this law knew from the experience of all nations that this tax could oe be smaeds ook it answered their pur when the occasion jone by, 4 chance 7m shame or from partisan hrpann Ch eaitl stands upon the statute book, and under its visions hosts of officials are made and corrupted. And all over our iand men are bribed to become criminals by rewards a hundred fold greater than are offered by honest labor, One hundred and fifty millions each year—fourtold re than is given our schools or churches, for educa- tion or religion, is spent to cherish crime aud corrup- tion. And every man who shares in this pluoder, whether officers of the law or offenders against the law, has a vital interest in keeping those in power who thus legislate against all experience. if not against honesty. When you add the frauds in other depart- ments and in regard to other articles we seo how the ranks of the Grand Army of Rogues and officeholders is recruited. Not by those who fell wounded upon the battle fleld, but by those who have fallen from virtue, Not by those who have won glory in the contest of arms, but by those who get great gains by assaults upon the Treasury. The people of Europe, when we ask them to buy our bonds, look at these things and see that they fosier waste, corruption and decay, Another measure 4s needed to restore our credit and our honor. Give us back our commerce, A few years since we were a great maritime Power—our ships whiiened every ocean, Woaere are they now? Official reports show that the car- rying trade, once a source of wealth and power, has been nearly lest, ‘The ships which bear our products abroad or bring the immigrant to our shore sail under foreign tags, Our commerce was swept from the sea, pot by Southern corsairs, but by Northern Congressmen, Britain will pay for the few vessels burned by privateers fitted out in her porte, not from a sense of justice, but from afeeling of gratitude toward an administratiog that has done so much to build up perpeee and great- ness, She has reaped all the fruits of our civil war, She is now indeed the mistress of the sea, We no longer vex her with our rivalry. Weonve stood in the way ot her ambition, We built betier and cheaper ves- sels: our skill upon the seas was unrivalled; our un- taxed artisans were driving her out of her best markets; ber looms could not move unless we gave her cotton All is now changed. Our sM'pyards are idle. American imports and American exports are borne over the ocean under British or fore: flags. Our manufacturers call «pon Congress to he'p (hem live against foreicn compe- tition upon our own soi, We pile up tarifls to fence out cheap products and then load down labor with taxa. tion until the burvens of our government overtop the protection We give by duties upon foreign imports, aud so a leaden pall weighs npon our industry, Beyond all this we have given Britain that for which she has here- tofore planed and schemed in vain—cotton producing colonies, Her India possessions which were of doubtful vaiue, are now made by republican stupidity, the source of enormous wealth and tho successful rivals of Ameri- can industry, in five years before the rebellion the annual value o: the cotton sent from India was about $17,000,000. In the five following, the annual average wus about $113,000,000. In 1866 it rose to iy the sum of $160,000,000, More eilectually to foster this ranch of British industry Con- gives it a bonus in the markets of the world by puthog an export duty on A\ ‘ican cotton. While ber production grows great ours faila off. Never in all her history has she bad such allie as the repubucan party. Her people can well afford to give marked honors to unose who have brought our country upon the verge of ruin, The great and crowning measure to lessen tho taxation of tho North; to shorten the hours of labor for our mechanics; to raise the credit of our securities; to insure the peace and safeiy of our land, 1s to give us back our Union, We can no longer bear the cost of armies, of spendthrift agents, of corrupt offl- cials, acd clothing to vagrant idiera, of meddling with the concerns of far off States and of neglecting our own aTairs, It ia at this point that the antagunisms oi party slow themselves in principles as well as policy.
