There never was held in this State, voly in the memory of the oldest political ant, & tamer convention than that which me o-day. There was no spirit, no life whatever in it, and, despite every effort made by the leaders to sur- round it “with an appearance of enthusiasm, from the beginning to the close there was nothing in either the conduct of the delegates themselves or in that of the 200 spectators who were seated in the galleries which lent for even a minute a shadow of enthusiasm to the proceedings. The why and wherefore of this it would, indeed, be hazardous to attempt to indicate; but the fact remains all the same that, notwithstanding the presence of as intelligent a body of men as ever gathered together for a common purpose, there was everywhere a general feeling of gloom and discomfort. The fact ‘that the old Cus- tom Heuse slate, which was two weeks ago con- sidered such a dead certainty, and which was broken to pieces last night, may have had some- thing to do with it, although there were scores of Custom House employés present, if not as actual candidates, at least as individual powers behind the throne. ° ASSEMBLING OF THR DELEGATES, The Convention assembled at -eleven o'clock, and, as no order or 8. than delegates from occupying seats in the body of the house was adopted, before tne doors were open delegates and non-delegates were huddled together indiscriminately. The hangers-on of the United States departmente in New York, who Were sent up to keep their shaky friends among the delegates from sinking in the traces, took ad- vantage of this circumstance to secure good places on the floor. Une of them, who was fear- fully and wonderfully intoxicated, distinguished Himself by occasionally interrupting the proceed- -ings with remarks that had about as much to do with the general work of the Convention as the rumbling of the care and the ehrieking of the steam whi tles in the street, which occasion- ally greeted the ears of the delegates. Of course it fell to the lot of Mr. A. B. Cornell, as Chairman of the State Central Committee, to call the Con- vention to order. The nomination o David J, Mitchell, of Syracuse, as \temporary, Chairman, \which had been decided ‘upon eamy in the qay, was then made. Mr. Mitchelt’s speech was in the usual strain of temporary chairman addresses and was well received. At the close of the speech the usual routine business of appoint- ing the various committees was gone throngh with, and then came an adjournment to two o'clock. The adjournment was taken ostensibly for dinner, but in reality to allow the Gommittee on Resolutions to get ready to report, and for the Committee on Credentiais, -of which John 1. Davenport was made chairman, to settle the little Matter of the contested seat.of Mr, A, 8, Cornell from the Duane street (New York city) dastrict. ‘On reassembling the tormality of electing a per- manent chairman was gone theongh with, Stewart L. Woodford being the choice. Woodford had his Speech carefully written, and he,read it slowly and deliberately, emphasizing bere.2#d there words which he evidently believed would make the house ome down. It willbe noticed that the speech deals generally with corruption, and is only forcible on this particular pomt, where it refers to local matters snd municl- pal thieveries. The absence of all reference to the Crédit Mobilier frauds, and the “salary gtab” is equally noticeable, tn fact many ofihe delegates ppenly expressed their surprise at this feature of the addreas, and declared that for polt- . ey’s sake, at least, the grab ought to have been de- mounced, inasmuch as the democrats had pri , themseives 28 deep in the mire ia that business as the republicans, and alively denunciation of the grab would hit all round NOMINATIONS MADE EASY. ‘There was no excitement over any, of the nom- :inations other than that of Attorney General; no strife or struggle of any extent whajever, ‘The a@nnouncement at the very start by his iriends, that the present deputy, Anson Wood, had with. drawp his name asa camidate ior Secretary of State, made the road avery easy one jor the backem of ex-Senasor Thayer, Who, got the nom- ination without a sinuggie. Nelson K Hopking ured fis renomination withour sanybody’s being oven Natwed a candidate against him. PD. G. Font, wo, was very fortunate in having but sligae opposition in the irace lor State Treasurer. ‘The Sght tor the Attor- ney Generalship was quite a lively one ,hetween wthe friends of Benjamju D. Siinan and.B, Piatt Carpenter. The roll was finally called after consid- erable skirmisiing, and Benjamin D. Silliman was @eciarea neminated, the vote sipnoing, Silliman, 232; Varpenter, 162. Silman was known ta ne the #andidate of the Custom House, ap a determined effort was made by the friends oi Mr. Carpenter to deieat him, because o1 the -epen and undisguised @upport given him by the otvce-holders, who mac Wy the great bulk of the spectators outside the railing, and every one of whom had # strong pull GQpon some delegate, When General Woodford xot iM intimation of the plang being Jaid by sue arpenter people, he cated upon Mr. Harvey, of iew York, to take his place on the plationin and went down on the four.oi the vouse. On being recognized, as he had arranged with Ms. Harvey he should be, he at once arose and deliv- ered @ most begging appeal jor ti Convention to stand by Mr. Silliman, In| nominating this gentleman, Mr. Relafield Smith bed made the remark that twe oMice of the Attorney General should not be made a school to educate young lawyers in. ‘his remark was greeted with great laughter by wie delegates who gwere uniriendly to Barlow, the present Attorney General, they evidently taking it Jor granted that . Smith meant his remark to ve considered aa & biow at Barlow. General Woodid knew right well that he had to take rhe bull by the horns under the circumstances, else the ( urpevfer men miggt bring their candidate out (too strongty, Bar- low not having & irieud visible anywhere, heace vis appeal tor Silliman while throwing ia ‘A GOOD WORD POR BARLOW. ‘he other nominations were got throagn with ‘y, aldhough the contest over the position of Commissioner was quite spirited between Charles H.

Y., Sept. 24, 1873, The Convention was called to order by Mr. A. B. Corneil, Chairman of the State Committee, Judge Roverison, of Westchester county, nomt- nated Mr. David J, Mitchell, of Onondaga, for temporary chairman, He was unanimously chosen and was conducted to the chair by Judge Robertson and Mr. Butchelor, of Saratoga, On taking the chair Mr, Mitchell briefly ad- dressed the Convention as follows :— MR. MITCHELL'S SPEECH. GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—I return my sincere tuanks lor the honor you have conierred in calllug upon me to preside temporarily over your deliberations, Ir 18 as gratifying to my feelings as it was unexpected. It mignt have jaillen to many others more worthy, but to no one who could entertain a more lively sense of its duties und re- sponsivilities, or who could share in @ higher estimate of the principles and objects which have called us together, ‘The occasion upon which tais most respectavie and patriouc assemblage has been convened is One ol deep interest and con- cern, We are met here to-day pot only to select candidates 1or some of the most responsible onices in the State, but to indicate lines of policy tuat shaliconiorm to the honest and earnest senti- ments oi the people and that suall contribute to the perpetuity of the republican ascendancy an the conduct of the goverpment tn State and national affairs, so long, at least, as that party shail adhere to the wise maxims wh.cl pave heretolore ruled ity course, that emoodies unflincning advocacy of economy , retrenchment and reform in every direction, One year ago delegates met im this building to nea. hate @ ticket, Uaving at heart these cardimat ob- jects, and the jortunate choice then made was rati- fied by the people and became the instrument of wresting the Stute government trom the control of a corrupt und dangerous combination, There was then nominated a gentieman jor the office of Chiet Executive of the State who has borne high the standard of the republican party as the emblem of truth and justice, Who nas held that stanaard as high as he did the American flag during the revel- lion, Under him ofr state administration has been a su s. When this change was effected our al- fairs were going a downward course. It is not ne- cessary to be-specitic, but | cannot torbear an allu- sion to the profigate expenditure which augmented the State debt by more than $6,000,00), and which I congratulate you, gentlemen, upon the suc- cessiul adoption under republican management of @ more auspicious system of administration, and it is our duty to-day to pursue tne policy which has been crowned witi these beneficent results. Let us continue to act jor the best interests of the whole people. I desire in. this connection to speak pubhe duty imparts consistency and unity to re- publican action. In tle chief magistrate of this State, whose nomination within these walls was ratified by the popular voice, the people calied into beiore and since for his integrity, purity and Mgn sense 0: honor. In the periormance of bis duty he nas | gathered fresh laurels, The republican party have aright to be proud of their relationship to one who has Jully answered the requirements of the times, and who: official career has ex orted raise from sources most disposed to censure. ‘or can [speak in less giowing terms of tue ad- ministration of tie general government. Our standard bearer aud our grea’ chiel, who led our armivs to victory in the cause of Union and itb- | erty, has proved as eficient in civil administration ashe was in that capacity which brought us at first to the Knowledge and appreciation o! his abilities in adifterent sphere. ‘Ihe more we see of him the stronger he grows in the hearts of the people. His policy, seconded by able constitutional advisers and eloqueutiy enforced by New York’s favorite son, is leading the country upward and onward to & Ingher and more glorious destiny. Let us not Jorget on this occasion what every patriot and lover of his country should ltorever bear in mind, that the insidious 1oe to republican institutions is corruption. Let us prove by our ; actions here and eisewtere that we are stecled against the euemy, and that we will tolerate its presence in no department of the government— legislauve, judicial or municipal, We owe this to ourselves and to our children, to the nory of our fathers and to the cause of liberty throughout the world. I trust I may express the hope that in our action to-day we shall derogate in no respect irom tue high projessions of the republican party. Let unspotted names be in- scribed upon the banners under which we maren to victory.#t the polls, Let our candidates be men who will see to it faithiully that tne people's money shail not be unlawfully taken trom the treasur I have po doubt that such is your inten- tion, There can be no question then in reference to the issue. A solemn duty rests upon tuis Con- vention;.an imperative duty, for the reason that the skies are bright, and the ticket that shall be nominated by this spirit is sure to be triumphant in November. I say such a ticket must be success- iul, because it is plainly to .be observed that our democratic opponents are a disabled and crumbling mass, That faction, with the taint of disloyalt upon its garments, cannot cope.with the repubii- can party, dounded as it was upon the stern prin- ciples of right and be yg It. was in that faith that the war for the Union was car- ried on to a glorious termination. The power employed in that contest stfil exists, and cannot he overthrown. ‘The party that pronounced the war dailure has proved a failuce itsell. its shattered and demoralized rempauts cannot be successfully marshailed against the jorces that by their vigor, energy and foresight saved the consti- tution and tne Kepublic, Let ws, my fiends, go forward in this spirit and we cannot jail to conquer. Let us avoid dissention in our ranks, keep the car- dinal doctrines of our creed ever in view, and, marching shoulder to shoulder to the contést now impending, add another to the long list of tri- umphs which have been achieved in the interest of good government, and which promise perpetuity to repubdiican institutions in this land, Gentlemen of the Convention, what is your pleysurey On motion of Senator Manpry, Sen T. Cunning- ningham, of Warren, and Stepner B. French, of Suffolk, were appointed temporary secretaries. The roll of delegaies was calicdsand there were no contestants reported. Judge ROBERTSON, ef Westchester, aifered the fol- lowing, which was adopted :— Resolved, That a committee of two trom each, judicial district be appointed to @ominate permangat officers of this Convention : Mr. DAVENPORT, of New York, offered the foliow- ing :— Resolved, That Commtitee on Credentials. consisting of two trom euch Judicial district, be ap poitked by the pair. Mr. Hoskins, .of Wyoming, moved that a Com mittee on Platform, to consist of two delegates from euch judicial district, be appointed, te whom all resolutions be referred without debete. Mr. STEVENS, of Lewis, moved to strike,out that. ;Part which provided that -resolntions be referred Mithout debate, Me did net want to see the reso- autions of any one suppressed in that way. Mr. DELAFIELD SMITH Oppored the amené ment. It (lif not suppress debate, The proposition war to refer without debate in the first instance; but When the report of the commitiee comes in any gentieman may debate. The oourse proposed was the usual and the proper course. Mr. STEPHENS, Of Lewis, urged that ‘it was én the power of the Convention to cut of debate by the previous question. That be was opposed to. The amendment was rejected and the resolution was adopted. FIRS? STAB AT THE CONGRESSIONAL SALARY STEAL. Mr. ISAAC DAYTON offered & resolution disapprow- ing of the measure adopred by Congress increasing salaries, which he read, elioving much appiause. ‘The resolution, under the Motion justadopted, was referred, without debate, Mr. HUsTkD, of Westchester, moved that the rules of the Inst Assembly be adopted sor the gov- ernment oi this Convention.

(Appiause.) - Governgr Wood.ord addressed the Convention as follows :— GENERAL WOODFORD'S SPEECH GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—We meet to re- new our allegtance to the ideas which have thus far been the creed of the republican party, to take counsel as to the present heeds of our State and nha‘ion; to deciare our views and parposess and to nomiuate suitable candidates for the several State oMices to be filea at the coming election. We say Irankly that we meet as republicans to declare republican Runetples te nominate houest, capabie and consistent republicans and to perpetuate a republican administration of our State and nation, We are proud, very proud of the past history of our great orgamization. It has been the history of our nation, written with the sword on many a field, incorporated into the legistation, nay, into the very constiution, the organic law ol our people. It is a grand story simpiy told tn these brief words, “Liberty, Union Justice.” But we also know that our p. is only of present value, as it gives a future weil doing. It is the certificate 0) tie ful servant. Mf tells of capacity; it does not insure success hereater. We have done well in other days, 80 muca the greater reason why we should do weil now; 80 much the greater shame if we do ul. We frankly claim that in the past our party bas deserved success by the manner in whica that party has served the people, the ate and the nation, We as frankly admit that we deserve success only 80 long as we shall continue to meet and tuifil the needs of the present time, We as frankly admit that the great republican party, with all its high, heroic memories of vattie Belds and council cham- bers, of broken shackles and a united land, with all its sated nimes o1 Lincoln, Stanton and Seward, should reid its banners and retire from its function of government so soon as it proves false to its trust or incompetent in its administiation, The State was betore the party. The party is for the State, mot the state tor the party, So long as tie republican organization shal rule faithfully and well the State which it bore in saiety through the storm and shock of civil war, so long let the grand oid party wear the ‘crown and bear the rule, Ofone thing be assured, names change, ideas never. The party name in which we glorv tius' to-day may pass mto history all bright with the great achievements and noble words of our elder biothers, and only tarnished by our mis- deeds; but the ideas of our great organization shall live and rule among men in our State and nation, if not in our name then in some others, if notin, and throagh us then in aud through others better, maniier and more deserving than we. In the republican column and under the republican banner we have only tought the old, old battie of manhood against’ class privileges and class clams, of the many against the few, of the essence of —Iberty against — the the essence ot tyranny. While our human nature | remains weak and erring, and the conaitions of tume, sense and matter endure, that wattle is im- pending. 1 trust tiat tor many years we may still fight that battie and this same column, ‘under this | same banner, cheered by our great inemories and emulating the deeds and words of our elder br thers goue beiore. When, it ever, this column shall move out Oj its true position: when, if ever, itshaii be found on the side of injuatics, oppres- sion or dishonesty, then I pray that its banner may go down in de'eat and its hign places of power may be vacant among the rulers of the land. Such is the record of the past; such are the responsibilities of the present. As we met the duties ef yesterday, so let us seek to meet the duties 0; to-day. AS we deserved success in 1856 and in 1860, by unbending fidelity to the rights of our common manhood, although that maniood crouciied in the slave cabin and was sold at the auction block; a8 we deserved success !rom 1861 to 1865, in the words and spirit o1 our great leader, vy fientingit out on the old line ofcompelling abso- | lute suv mission 10 the law and uncenditionil preser- vation o1 our national Union; as we deserved stc- cess Irom 1865 to 1868, by generous charity to our beaten brothers, and yet by resolutely demanding equal justice to those who had been our faithiul allies in the war, and whose wrengs had brought such terrible retribution upon the land; as we de- served success during all the frst term of the present administration. by faithfully keeping the plighted iaith of the nation in the steady payment of our debt, in the steady reduction of taxation, in the steady,entorcement of tue laws, in generous eflort to deal justly by the Indian, in the settie- ment of our differences with the mother land by the Christian methods of peacetul arbitration, rather than in the bloody tribunal of battle, so let us deserve success to-day by the declaration ot just and wise principles, by the nomination of pure and. able candidates, and by squarely living up to our deciirations. Let us in faithful obe- dience to the law ana the enforcement o1 its be- hosts ewulate the spirit and imitate the example of our silent but sure President when he stood un- moved.and resolute amid the storm of financtal disaster that swept the avenues and streets of the Metropolis on Sunday last. Great amid the shock of butte he was greater and myre s#eli-contained amid the crash ol c:edit and monetary disaster. Let us.write in letters of gold over the portals of the tempie of the Republic those brave strong words of Ulysses 8. Gran ihe private citizen may pos- gidly break the law if he will accent the conse- } quence; but the President oi the United States cannot, in time of peac justly ' excused.” And democratic friends, “ff this be Csarism make the most of it. Such 18 our responsibility, we frankly recognize li; we deliber- ately accept its duties, we ‘humbly ask for s#trengtn and wisdom to fulfil our high Opportunities in the nation, We must enforce honest administiation, save every dollar o! unne- cessary and unwise expenditure, avoid useless and experimental legis.ation, encourage the States lately in rebellion to resume in practice, #8 wellas in theory, the .unctions of local self-government, en- courage them to rely more upon themselves and less upon the general federal autnority. We must seek let me say to our by economy, . honesty and practical common sense to cure the corruptions of men and the demoralizing tendency of great and long continued political powers. In our own loved Commonwealth of New York we must keep th se same ends of integrity and econ- omy 6! administration steadily, strictly in view. ‘The terrivle corruptions in the local governments of our largest cities have burdened our municipall- ties with enormous local debts, whose {nil burden and extent are even as yet but partially realized. The greatdevelepments of local rauroads by town and local ald has imposed a like indebtedness upon our rural :townships and counties. It has been easy to boriow, and, therefore, has seemed easy to pay. It will be for some years dificult to borrow, and will, thereiore, be dificult to pay. Tila strain will be severe. I trust it willbe met bravely and honestly; but this one ting ds sure, the taxpayers of this State will not and should, not torgive any legisiator or official who spends or votes one dollar in excess of actnal need, or in advance of the very surest and most certain internal improvement. The imeficient management o1 our canals from 1869 to 1872 brought | our canal finances into an unfortunate eondition. But there is itttle use sa adie repining. The Erie Canal, built by the wisdom ef De Witt Clinton, and @ularged by ihe resolute faith of William Henry Seward, hae made it ¢he gieat wégiway of Western commerce through our Com monwealth, apd pours the riches of Stites. ink) the lap of our metropolis at the gates of the sa, No fimancial disasters o! to-day should discourage, no burden.o, old debt should deter us. We must keep ow: “Excelsior State still at the head of this nation and in the very forefront of the eommercial endeavors of the Continent, The lakes.and the St. Lawrence bring the grain flelds of the vast prair.e land our very borders. On the west and no:th we must still keep the watery ‘ighways of the pation irom the-prairies to the @cean ip our State. The carrying capacity of our canals must be enlarged, and thus our noble Hud- sen be extended to the Jakes and the St. Law. reuce. Ii the natida will not do this, or cannot constitutionally, tvea Jetour Empire State, with the wisdom of her great statesman of other days, epen her canals and double her tracks until Jinton’s ditch shall, indeed, be the nyghty river truly, giving the rine 4 nd the lakes and the St. Lewrenee their ouvet through the kindson to the sea. If aur State will not, then letthe twin eities of New York and Brooklyn demenstrate their fitness to control the permsnent /ature of this land by themselves, assuming the burden aud joreyer axsuring the supremacy 0, the injand com- meree of this Continent, Now, our repubuican party is very dear to all who bear its name and are hopored jn its membership. In its very strength and just pride lies its greatest danger, I piead with you earnestly for its purity, not merely that it nay be preserved, but that, through it, our dear fatherland ynay be kept in hovor and dhe great nation, save in battle, may be blessed in race; that tirough itour Empire S:ate inay still arr its Excelsior banner ful! high gdvanced, jead ing, not in vain boasting over past achievements and accumulated wealtn, but leading in resolute ad wise effort to develop all gir resources. ‘Thus shall we aid our sister i 8 in like development ; thus shaw we aive cheap bread to the laborer an violate tne law and be | Ireignts to the meets tnat shall yet line our wharves, floating over our town the iree flag and bearing the enterprise of the American merchant and the products oi the American farmer and arti- san to Ade quarter of the globe.

DELAFIELD SMirH said there had been a dim- culty in the First district of New York, and he had been requested to present the following resolution, to give the Central Committee more power to settle conflicts between contestants, which was adopted unanimously :— Resolved*that whenever, in the city of New York, the district organ zations fail to portorm their duties in’ we- cordance with the constituuon tor the government of said associations, the Central Commitee ot said city be fully empowered to investigate and take such action a3 in their judgment may be just and proper. Resolved, That the segretary of the’ Central Com mittee be requested to serte a copy of these resolutions gn the Chatrman of the Central Committee of the city of ork. THE NOMINATIONS—SECRETARY OF STATE. Mr. VooRHEEs moved to proceed to the nomina- tion of a candidate for Secretary of State. The motion was agreed to, Hon. Martin. J. TOWNSEND, of Rensselaer, ad- dressed ‘he Convention as follows :— Mr. CHAIRMAN—I rise for the purpose of present- ing the name of the Hon. Francis 8. Thayer as a candidate suitable to be presented for the nomina- tion for Secretary of State. Mr. Thayer is not un- known to the electors of the State. He has served two terms in the Senate of the State with unt- versal satisiaction to the people. He is Known both as a_ legislator and a citizen.
