NEW YORK. DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. Declination of Henry C. Murphy to be a Candidate for Governor. Denuneiation of the Tammany Faction by @ Kings County Delegate, John F. Hoffman Nominated for Governor and Allen C, Beach, cf Jefferson, for Lieu- tenant Governor. mt of the Convention Until To-Day. ¢ ALBANY, Sept. 2, 1868, The returns from Vermont were a damper upon the spirits of the delegates this morning. The un- welcome news was canvassed at the breakfast table ‘with great earnestness. No little uneasiness was elt as to the result which it indicates in reference to the national political contest, “We've made a great mistake, sir,” sald one gen- tleman at the Delavan to a neighbor at table; “had we nominated Chase we'd have had a sure thing of i. But’, he continued, after a few minutes, as if to draw hope from the words, “we can elect Seymour, anyhow.” Irecord his remarks simply because they make a straw—a triding one, periaps—to show how the Political wind is going to blow between now and next November. While the canvassing and caucasing were going on among the delegates the republicans startled their nerves at midnight with a salute of one hun- red guns fired in honor of the victory in Vermont, DECLINATION OF SENATOR MURPHY, Senator Henry ©. Murphy arrived in Albany by the afternoon train yesterday. His presence was the immediate signal for a movement on the part of the Tammany men to solicit his withdrawal. A conference, or rather a series of conferences, ensued and lasted throughout the night. The first indication of his declination was the suspension of the arrangements to serenade him atthe hotel. Abandof music had come up from Brooklyn with a host of retainers, who were to march in torchlight procession, with Murphy ban- mers and transparencies, and bring up at the Deia- ‘van, where he was to deliver them aspeech. Those who did not know what was on foot were greatly anxious, when the hour arrived, to know why the ceremonies dia not come off. There were no orders to the band and no leaders could be found for the procession. The deliberations continued all night and terminated this morning about ten o'clock with the declination of Mr. Murphy. 4 THE CONVENTION met a few minutes after tweive o'clock to-day. The delay of a few minutes was quite exasperating to the anxious spirits present in Tweddle Hall, who, by tries of ‘Time!’ and by stamping, finally evoked Sam Tilden from the crowd at the back of the stage. ‘The ancient democratic functionary made them a Speech in his usual vein, and then nominated for ‘Pemporary Chairman H. 0. Oheeseboro, of Ontario. Mr. Cheeseboro was warmly received, but made a very tame speech and a very brief one. The crowd in the hall was as large # one as ever assembled there. The body, the galleries and the spaces by the walls were filled with spectators. At Jeast two thousand strangers had arrived in town to take part in the demonstrations for Hoffman and Mur- phy respectively and for the minor candidates on the ticket, Bands of music had been playing all the fore- moon, and lines of men wearing the Murphy ribbon Marched up and down the streets. All these gradually hived into Tweddle Hall, which contained about four thousand persons during the session of the Convention. . Atthe close of Mr, Cheesboro’s speech some en- ‘Musiastic man proposed three cheers for Henry 0. Murphy, which were given. A Hoffman man, despite ‘the warning frown of the Tammanyites, who did not ‘wish to reopen the wounds that were healed by Murphy’s declination, then arose and proposed three @heers for the Mayor, which were given with defiant vehemence, NEW COMPLICATIONS. _ After some deliberation and thought the Tammany men seemed somewhat frightened at their own bold- mess and manifested a desire not to seek for further achievements now that they had secured the nomi- mation of Hoffman. The New York delegation ap- parently were originally in favor of Albert P. Lan- ing, of Erie, for the second position on the ticket, but the opposition brought to bear by the Kings @ounty delegates evidently had an effect of produc- $ng a change in favor of Allen C. Beach, of Jefferson, ‘which secured to him the nomination also. The monopolizing tendencies of the New York Tammany- {tes were severely taken to task; but notwithstand- that much feeling was expressed by the two sepa- Fate sections from Kings and Queens counties, still ‘there is a disposition to act harmoniously through- out the whole Convention. PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. ALBANY, Sept. 2, 1868. Tweddle Hall, which is elaborately decorated with ‘fags and banners and a life size portrait of Governor Seymour, was crowded by noon, the delegates to the Democratic State Convention occupyi ng front seats on the main floor and the audience filling the benches in the rear and the galleries. *onkiote SPEECH OF SAMUEL J. TILDEN. Soon after twelve o'clock the Convention was @alied to order by Mr. Samuel J. Tilden, Chairman of the State Committee, who spoke as follows:— DELEGATES TO THE DsMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN- ‘mon or Naw Yorxk—You are assembled on an occa- ton the most important that has occurred @aring this generation, (Cheers.)

Yet I do feel with an assurance calm, serene and ever; day wing, that this result is about to be reached. and | am anxious only that the great State of New York, which began the contest last Pad by its fity thousand majority, having had conferred upon it the distinguished hon: f the selection of the standard bearer of the democracy of the Union from one of , her citizens, shall maiatain ita position in the van- q = of the great democratic column of America, ad cheering.)

(Great cheering.) I now, gentlemen, perform the duty assigned to me of nominating to you as temporary chairman of this Convention Hon. H. 0. @heeadro, of Ontario. (Cheers.) TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. ‘The selection was made without dissent. Mr. Comespno, on taking the chair, thanked the Aaeprention for the honor conferred and congratin. Taged the democrats on the auspicious aspect of the political sky, which, he said, gave the most cheering promise that the great democratic column was marching on to victory—a victory that will place Kew York's favorite gon at the head of our govern- ment and restore the constitution and prosperity to our country and happiness to the At this point a delegate proposed cheers for Henty .

Mr. Ten Eyck, of Seneca, moved that hereafter the State Commit tee be composed of thirty-three members. Hesaid thatthe committee as now con- sti uted is altogether too small. When the present number was adopted the State was comparatively small in population, and the party was much smaller than it now is. Since then the party nas doubled its numbers and its interests, and the duties that those interests devolve upon the committee have vastly increased. He offered the resolution believing that the interest of the party would be best sub- served by its adoption. He had no fault to tind with the present committee. nor with the manner in w hich they bad hituerto performed their arduous yador, a Mr. Grorck H. Purser, of New York, thought the resolution tvolved an important question and one that eminently belonged to the permanent or- ganization. He therefore moved to lay the reso lution on the table for the present, This was assen ted to.

Mr. EARL on taking the chair addressed the Con- vention as follows:— GENTLEMEN—I thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me as your presiding officer. Permit me to tay that we are here in the midst of a great crisis of our nation. The institutions of our country are in I. Three and a half years have elapsed since the last rebel laid down arms and the re- bellion was closed, and we have a standing army of sixty thousand men—five times as great as it was before the war—under the absurd theory that eleven States had in some way, by the _ operation of the war, been taken out of the Union, and that secession had thus become an accomplished Tact.

Mr. Ten ExCK, of Seneca, calied up his resolution to enlarge the State Committee to thirty-three mem- TB. ‘Mr. A. OAKEY HALL moved to amend that the dele- from each judicial district select two persons to be members of the State Committee, and that, in addition, the President appoint three to be members at large. Mr. CALVERT CORSTOCK, of Oneida, favored the original resolution. He thought it desirable to have one member from each Congressional district, as it would certainly secnre @ more perfect organization of the party throughout the State. He would modify the motion, however, go as to authorize the Presiden of the Convention to appoint, in addition, three mem- bers at large. Mr. TEN EYCK accepted the amendment suggested by Mr. Comstock and it was adopted, HENRY OC, MURPHY DISCUSSED. Mr. W. MILLER, of Monroe, said he had been in- formed by certain delegates that there was in pos- session of @ member of tue Convention a letter from Henry C. Murphy. He (Mr. Miller) desired to make a motion and submit a few remarks, but before doin so he would give way in order that the letter referred to may be read. Mr. James B. CRAIG and other delegates from Kings county—If the gentleman has a letter from Henry C. Murphy let him read it. General SLocuM—The interests and name of Henry C. Murphy will be taken care of by his friends and not by his enemies. Mr. D. P. BARNARD said he presumed that the let- ter referred to was in his possession, addressed to him personally. He had intended and at the proper time would read that paper to the Convention; and, in order that it may be properly produced and made public, he would now move that the Convention proceed to the nomination of a candidate for Gover- nor. Carried. NOMINATION OF A CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. Mr. GgorGe W, MILLER then, after paying a hand- some tribute to the private and public character of the three gentlemen who have been named for the place, nominated John T. Hoffman. Mr. D. B. BARNARD briefly passed in review the high public character and long and valuable oificial services of Heury C. Murphy, and thea read the fol- lowing letter tram that gealleman:— SEPTEMBER 1, 1368.

TORRANCE nominated Albert P. Laning, of Erie. Judge Morais, of Kings, seconded the nomination of Mr, Averill, and op; the nomination of Mr. Laning, charging that he or his friends had here entered into a combination with an organization of New York city that seeks to get control of the entire democratic party of the State, and through it of the State government. You have nominated for Gover- nor a gentleman whom I honor and respect, but in Pin eg you havr also elected a United States Se yr. (Sensation and cheers.) You have given the Tammany organization a United States Senator, and you can’t prevent it. It is their determination to get control of the Assembly, and they will give you the Senator. A New York DELeGaTs—We will give you a good democrat, any a Mr. MonKis—That may all be, but they don’t all live in New York. To succeed in the State you must get three hundred thousand votes outside of New York city. We know them of Kings; we have been lured by them.

When he saw that the current of public sentiment was in favor of John T. Hoffman he withdrew from the canvass, thus contributing to the harmony of the party. That was all there was about the matter.

A Hall ‘and clhern MASSACHUSETTS. THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTIQN. Great Gathering of the “Old Cradle of Liberty” in john Quinty Adams, of Quincy, Renominated for Gover- nor=The Speeches and Resolutions, * Boston, Sept. 2, 1868. The Democratic State Convention, comprising delegates from all sections of Massachusetts, assem- bled in Fanewi Hall, in this city, to-day. For years and years the political State conventions of all parties have been held in Worcester, but the demo- crats, either on account of @ lack of first or second class hotel accommodations in the “heart of the Commonwealth,” or for some other reason equally good, have very wisely selected another point for their annual political deliberations, and it 1s very likely that the other party will hereafter make either Springfield or Boston the scene of their conventions, In consequence of the Convention being held here there was not the customary can- vassing the evening before, the country delegates preferring either to visit the theatres or spend the evening in viewing the elephant rather than engage in shaping the proceedings of the prospective con- vention. Notwithstanding, however, the absence of the usual “cutting and drying’ in advance the Con- vention went along comparatively smoothly from beginning to end, and was characterized all through by the strictest harmony and the utmost spirit and enthusiasm, In point of numbers the body was as large as any democratic delegate convention ever held in Massachuseets, all the cities and large towns and many of the distant and obscure hamlets being represented by full delegations, numbering alto- gether upwards of eleven hundred delegates. It was noticeable that the delegates consisted chiefly of young men rather than the old stagers of the party whose faces have been conspicuous in former years, the only prominent ones of this latter class being such men as Judge Abbott, ex-Mayor Wight- man, of Boston, Avery, of Braintree, &c. This fact, however, does not indicate that the venerable demo- crats of the State are forsaking their party, but it proves, on the contrary, that while they adhere more firmly than ever to their former political faith their ranks are also being greatly strengthened by the young men who are annually attaining that eventful period in their career which gives to them for the first time their right of suffrage. Mr. Josiah G. Abbott, as Chairman of the Demo- cratic State Committee, called the Convention to order shortly after eleven o’clock, and without any prefatory remarks whatever immediately men- tioned the name of Mr. Henry W. Paine, of Cam- bridge, for permanent chairman, who was speedily elected by acclamation amid much enthusiasm, A score of Vice Presidents and Secretaries were then chosen, after which Mr. Paine proceeded to make a few opening remarks as follows:— My Frienps AND FeLLow CrtT1zZENs—I tender to you my hearty thanks for this expression of your confidence. You are here, many of you, for one great and common purpose; you are here to com- mence preparing for that momentous contest which is now close upon us. You are to enter upon that contest because you have that abiding confidence, because you know that the ume is come both for peace to repair the ravages of war; because you have @ conviction—an abiding conviction—that the angry passion kindled and blown tanto fame by a protracted and bioody struggie should begin to subside; because you have a conviction that it is time to begin to re- Store that Union under which we have been pros- perous and happy—(appliuse)—becanse you have an abiding conviction that now—that now is the time to begin to save our institutions, our free institutions, before every vestige of them shall have disappeared, My friends and fellow citizens—In the great states- man of New York you have a nobie standard * bearer, (Loud cheers.) A standard benrer whose ‘ivate life is without spot or blemish; a standard bearer whose pubtic career has reflected new lustre upon tie institutions of the country. (Applause.) I say what I mean, The character of that grest man, as was said of another on the other side of the water, is a solid structure and wil sustain the honor of the country. Now, my friends, we are hete not for talk but action. But, with a cause so righteous and a leader s0 able and unexceptionabie, it is for us to press onto an assured victory. (Applause.) I have only to tender you my thanks once more for these expressions of your confidence, After the speech of Mr. Patne there was some little unimportant routine business transacted, aiter which there came some discussion about the man- ner of appointing a State Central Committee, during which it was charged that the committes of that character in former years had been inefficient and lacking in energy and interest in the party. Mr. Aspinwall, of Boston, was particularly severe in his criticisms upon past committees, clalming that if men of more ainbition were chosen hereafter it might be possible for them to defeat the return of Senators Sumner and Wilson to thegiUnited States Senaie, even if they did not suceed In electing their State ticket. Moses Bates, of Plymouth, who was chairman of the State Committee during the period Mr. Aspinwall referred to in his criticisms, replied in @ sharp and caustic manner to the latter gentie- man, tw! a upon the fact that he been but a@ short time within the folds of the democratic party, and caeteing that it ul became him to under- take to find fault with old and well tried democrats. Mr. Aspinwall, in his reply. said that although he was but a late member of the democratic iy he did not belong to it in 1851 when Mr. Bates and his friends elected Charles Sumner to the Senate, and in his work in the McClellan campaign he was not stimulated by @ luad of cotton which he had pickéd up in Loutsiana during the reign of General Butler. This retort created some enthusiasm, but, notwith- standing the sparring was interesting, the Conven- tion expressed its Loos ¢ mmr of such personail- ties and Mr. Aspinwall ceased; and all the pending motions concerning the State Central Coufmittee were, by common consent, laid on the table. The following nominations of candidates for State ofticers were then made by acclamation:— For Governor—John Quincy Adams, of Quincy. For Lieutenant Governor—Reuben Noble, of West- field. For Secretary of State—Charles Brimblecourt. For State Treasurer—Henry Arnoid, of Adama, ditt State Auditor—Arthur F. Devereaux, of em. a For Attorney General—William C. Endicott, of Salem. s The above ticket is the same as last year, with the exception of Mr. Noble, who takes the place of George M, Siearns, of Chicopee, wno declined a renowina- tion. Mr. J. 5, Abbott, of Boston, and John R. Briggs, of Shettield, were chosen Presidential electors. ‘The Committee on Resvlutivns reported a series, as follows: Resolved by the democracy of Massachusetts, in conven- tion assembled, That the people of the Unived Statos have suf. ficiently proved by experience the lesson of history that the caprice of majority is intolerable tyranny.

District—2inss Meeting and Banner Raise ing. a ie The republican citizens of the Sixth Assembly district of this city, it being composed of the Thir- teenth ward, held their great party festival for the campaign at their headquarters, No. 470 Grand street, at the junction of that with Pitt and Division streets, Itconsisted in the raising and ‘“unfurling to the breeze” of a large banner, swung across the wide, open space from house to house, bearing the names of the republican candidates for both national and State ofices in prominent characters upon it. ‘This was followed, a8 @ matter of course, by a mass meeting. At the raising of the banner Mr. J. 0, Ellery, the Secretary of the club, made a few appre- priate remarks, and after the ceremony was com- leted the majority of those present re] to the bub room w) y when fr James M, McCartin, the President, called the meeting to order. Colonel Willis was the first speaker, who exhorted his re- ublican friends to stand frm by the cause. ‘The retary, Mr. Ellery, then read the following reso- jutions, Which were unanimously adopted:— Resolved, That the cheering news from Vermont should stimulate évery Union republican to increased exertion to carry the great State of New York for Grant and Colfax. ‘Resolved, That in the nominees of the Chicago Convention we recognize men eminently qualitied to lead the great party @ lasting peace. progress to victory and through victory to of pbuolved, That we hail with delight the nominations of the Hon. John’A. Griswold and Alonzo B. Cornell, and pledge to them and the balance of the ticket our united support for their election, Mr. Wm. H. Burleigh was then introduced, and made a eee, and studiously prepared ad- dress, during which he traced the history of parties from the days of Jefferson to the days of Calhoun, “the father of modern democracy,” declaring the resent democrats to be ‘the bastard children of Calhoun, the father of a bastard democracy.” He then proceeded to narrate how this ‘bastard democ- racy struck hands with slavery;” that the true dem- ocrats, who maintained that “free men have rights which slaveholders were bound to respect,” lelt their party; that the radical and progressive elements of the whig party joined with them to create the party of treedom and progress. The speaker then Made a severe attack on the “old pub, func.,” the late James Buchanan, and proceeded to the events of the war, which he claimed to have been accelerated by the leading democrats, such as Frank Pierce, pledging themselves to co-operate with the South in the dissolution of the Union. He then referred to the present situation of the parties; that the only division between them was loyalty and dis- loyalty—loyaity on the repubhcan, boegy i gB on the democratic side—and that the success of the demo- crats meant rehabilitation of the rebel element, the reinvigoration of the principle of secession. Mr. Burleigh closed with a poetic apotheosis of the Star Spangied Banner, and on retiring was enthusiasti- cally cheered. He was followed by Mr. Lovegrove, of Staten Island, who commenced by declaring that he fought the democrats since his boyhood in 1:33, and that ‘wrong, oppression, crime and_villany were ail comprised in the term democracy,” as that term was understood by the opposing party.

Loud and repeated cheers were given in re- sponse to this invitation, in the midat of which Uap- tain Rynders rose and said he hoped that if the different democratic clubs did not turn out as organizations that they would be present in mass to welcome their former standard bearer. ‘On motion it was resolved that a committee of one from each Congressional district be appointed by the chair, with the chair, to lay out the route of the pro- cession and make all the necessary arrangements for the parade. A resolution was introduced and, after much discussion, carried that no banner bear- ing the name of any local candidate or aspirant for any district or ward nomination be permitted in the rocession.

FORTRESS MONROE. ‘Two Serious Negro Riote—Troops Called Out to Quell the Riot—Several Persons Shot. Fortress Monnor, August 31, 1808. On Saturday night, at about twelve o’clock, a row occurred in a drinking saloon in Hampton, between a white man named Tibbets and some colored men. Both parties had been drinking, and from words they soon came to blows. In ten minutes after the disturbance was created there were between three and four hundred blacks in the streets. Much rioting ensued and several whites were se- verely handled. Bricks, stones and other missiles were thrown at people and their houses. The disorder prevailed until three o’clock Sunday morning, when the troops, which bad been previously sent for, arrived upon the ground, Captain Putnam, who commanded the troops. ordered the negroes to disperse, but they paid no attention to him whatever. He repeated the order, and finding that words had no effect ordered his troops to fire upon the rioters. Whether there was any serious damage done by the volley we have not been able to ascertain, but up to this time there there has been none reported. Captain Putnam then stationed a guard in Hampton to prevent a a. tion of the dingracer scene, but fortunately e' - thing remained quiet. Another riot on 4 sinaller scale, but with quite sert- ous resuita, occurred at Mill Creek, about a mile from jen fort, i oe y on gen between four #ol- jers and @ of negroes, It appears, as usual, that both parties had been drinking and a free fight was indulged in. Bricks were freely used, and finally one of the negroes pulled out his revolver and shot a soldier, and his exampie was followed by the res! four of them SS wounds, but fortunatei; not very serious ones.
