CORNELL'S LEITER OF WITHDRAWAL, | ‘The wirepulling and intrigue of the past three days | ig over, and Edwin D, Morga: rnatorial | standard bearer of the republican party in this State for 1876, This result is principally due to the magnan- | \mous course pursued by Mr. Cornell in withdrawing | trom the canvass when he saw there was no chance of | n is the gub success, The following is Mr. Cornell's letter of with- drawal SaRaToGa Sprincs, August To THe Corcwma County DELEGATIO GeNTLEMEN—I desire to tender, through you, to the republicans of Columbia county my sincere thanks tor the distinguished honor they Have conterred on me in | haming me 4s their candidate for Governor of the State of New York. This generous action is the more highly appreciated because it was volun tury on their part and entirely unsolicited by me. ‘The bames of severs| eminent citizens have been suggested 4s cundidates, and an animated canvass (or the election of delegates to the State Convention has ensued. [am assured by gentlemen weli informed us to tue Views of the delegates that a large plurality of them are favorable | to my nomination. In view of the vital impoatauce of | & suceessiu! campaign im oar State 1 am deeply im- | pressed with the necessity of such cordial unanimity in the uction of our Convention as will lead to the en. i thusiastic support of our candy 4s well us by all who sympathize with us Lam au: | Willing, therefore, to allow my name to be the subject of ‘discord and controversy. Being | desirous of contributing ail in my power to the | success of our cause, and believing that Lean best serve | the party by relieving the Convention, at least in part, trom an’ exeiung canvass 1 most earnestly requost you to withboid the presentation of my name. | Yours, very respecttully, | ALONZO B, CORNELL, | The strength of the Cornell-Conkting phalanx went | Dodily over to Morgin and secured bis nommation be- | | es by ali republicans, yond peradventure, More thun usual interest was manitested tn the Convention proceedings. Tne ‘ele. gates evidently felt that the safety of their natioual | uicket hinged to a large cxtent on the character f their nominee for Governor, They also knew the syes of the entire republican party were upon them | and could not afford to blunder into the s of bomivating an out-and-out machine candidate. It was this sentiment which battled eflectually against A. 3B, Corne'l, and compelied uim to step down and out of the contest before trusting his chances to a ballot, It is spoken of asa mere movement to withdraw before | his exact strength was discovered in open Convention, | No intimation of such a conclusion on the part of Mr. | Cornell was given until three o'clock this morain when the gushght went out in the conference room. District Attorney Bliss was the first to convey the um, | portant intelligence, and jumped friskily around the | halls of the United flotel in ¢ y over | the prospective nomiation of his friend Morgan.

Senator Conkling ense in staying away at Utica from the Held of active operations is also strongly commended, Some of the local statesmen who im to a bargain in every- ting savoring of politics entertain an opinion toe | hight that a deal has now been made betw Morgan and Conkling. The latter's term as United States Sen ator expires in three years; the uext Governor will be chogen for that period under provision of the amended zonsti€ution, and it is rumored that Senator Conkling 8 ip possession of a prowise from Mr, Morgan that he | will receive that gentleman support for re-election in sase of the su Mf the republi ticket. In this connection it is urged that Morgan coula not have | decn nominated if Cornell's forces centred their in- Nuence upon another candidate. | The Convention was called to or precisely at tleven o'clock. Previous to a g it Was gen lly understood that Mr. Morgan would bo the sue- cesstul candidate. Tbe letter of withdrawal prepared the politicians for the result so certain to follow. Mr. Evarts’ friends found themselves completely out- Eeneraled. George William Curtis has the happy facil, ity of taking up candidates in Convention who are always defeated. At Cincinnati he advocated Bristow; to-day he hung out bis banner ‘or Evarts, with a re. sult similar to the gentleman's efforts iu the Natior Convention. AtSyracuse last March he beat the air against the policy of New York’s delogation casting their votes tor Roscoe Conkling, Here, too, he was laid out carefully on his little political bed. ‘The de- feais have apparently not taught bim a useful lesson, as he again blossomed into prominence this aftery in advoeating the claim of William M. Evarts, 1 wuch defeats within the space of four months should atisfy the ambition of any ordinary politician. THE CHAIKMEN'S SPERCUNS. The addresses of the temporary and permanent hairmen were {uilof the usual clap-trap ax to the Ammon school question; the dangers from renewed secession interference with the government; Tillen’s war record; the danger from Southern claims, and | other equally exciting issues, Considerable merriment | was created in this manner, Mr. Jonn M. Franc charged the daties of permanent chairn He was evidently all at sea on parliamentary rules, although prompted continually by Speaker Husted, who was seated behind bim. THE INDEPENDENTS An casy disposition was made of the contesting forces from New York city under the leadership of Elwood E Thorue. These gentlemen did not even make an effort to get inside the Convention. They passed a resolution in favor of Rdwin D. Morgan, and quietly took a back seat im further deliberations Mr. Thorne made an attempt to sy before the Convention, but was quickly silenced on a delegate raising the point of order | thot the gentieman had no right to speak. Unavimous | consent was then avked, but another deieg: and Mr, Thorne’s eloquence was lost to posterity. THX RESOLUTIONS, which were read by Senator Carpenter, went over all | the public sgsues of the day. They handied the cur- | rency, civil service reform, the public schools and other kindred topics. Tilden’s career also came in for | ‘8 fair share of criticism, and all aliusions to the demo. | cratic Presidential candidate's duplicity in fighting the Caval Ring and dodging the finaacial issues were ro- | ceived With enthusiastic appiause. THE SPRRCH OF MR. CURTIS | ip presenting the name of Mr, William M. Evarts was | delivered with bis usual fire. He commenced with a | vastic and forcible arraignment of the demo party, and gave their Presidential nominee a vigorous dressing. Mr. Trlden’s record during the war was Mhoroughly overhauled. His connection w the Terre Haute and Alton Railroad. was also reviewed, while the gentioman's peace policy | when the country staggered under — reve | blows was ected with the sharp knile abie literary surgeon. fhe speaker aroused a enthusiasm for the cause of Evarts. It seermed p) if the haudsot machine power were taken of the throats of w majority of the delegates, kvarts would then and there receive the nomination of bis party. The jo Tise above mere personal considerations and strike out on the broad eld of political Iavor in bevalf of the republican party was met with a cordial fexpouse and by the cheers of (he entire delegation, DISTRICT ATTORNEY Pi rs ivered an adroitand eloquent speech io nominating B.D, Morgan.

The speaker made an appeal on beball of young men of the party, Adelegate {rom Delaware, who had evidently partaken during the day of more than mineral er, argued in layor of the — nom tion “of General Johu Robinson, — ‘This dele gate was considerably mixed in his remarks and left the platform amid the laughter of te audi- ence, Mr, Alberger, of Eric, next placed im nomina- tion Senator Kogers, of Haflalo, The Convention cheered lustily ab the bame. An impression seemed to revail at this point that che tail of a bargain began to ibit itself, Whispers went round the hail that Cor- had contracted with Morgan forthe Lieutenant overnorsiup.

Certia rose to speak, when there Were loud cries of “Piatform!” “Piatform!” and cheers, Mr. Curtis proceeded to the platform and was recieved with wild demonstrations, waving of hat id cheers. When quiet was restored Ke proceeded to address the Convention as follows: — MR PREIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION :— My noble friend has said, and said most truly, that York republicans are tortupate that they hav their number so many men who would ably an fatly fuidil the duties of the chief magistracy of this State, Many of ee names have been freely men- tioned among us durthg the three days last passed, and among them ali there is not ome whose character ts not spotless and pure, There is not one whose abil- ity and Udelity to the party, and to the country, are not absolutely unquestioned. More than that, gentlemen, each one of those candidates, for whom, as you know, during the Jast few d the contest bas been one, no less of gov fecling and good tumor than it has been earpest and gealeus, is attended by his personal sup- and coutess that for mysell, were this a per- sonal question, Were you, fellow-ertizens, called upon to decide & quorum simply upon personal feelings. 1 should feel mysell, as so many of you who hear me would feel yourselves, seriously perplexed and embar- Tassed to Know to which of these gentiemen to give bis vote in this Convention. But, gentiemen, we stand in the presence of a cause, not a personal character, but the cause of our country, veiore which ail personal favor disappears. (Applaase.) Upon this sacred arena no private ambi- Uon, no personal favor shall «top with your permission. Our cause, as you know, is the cause of freedom in its h The cause in the old time of free e men is no less now the cause of free Schools and free votes—(a; plutse)—gnd in the face of tis cause, im this fearful emergency, the demo- cratic party claims it shall retura’ to power— the party whieh was the loog aliy to slavery, and to speak in phrase of political Wistory is responsible for the war and for its enormous joases of blood ant treasure. One hundred years ago, when Israel Putnamy ploughing in the ned, heard o1 Concord and Lexiygton, ho lett his plough in the mould, shouldered his masket and went to the defence of his country, When the flag of the union was pulled NEW YORK AERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1876.—TRIPLE ‘SHEET. i down by the hand of slavery, Samuel J. Tilden, busy in court with 4 case—probabiy the Terre Haute Railroad case—(cheers and laughter)—begged his friends to wait until he could sce thata call tor troops to save bis notion’s tiag and boner was proper, You remember Patrick Henry's reference to John Hook, a contractor, who, while the army was guttering at Valley For shoeless and marehing with bieeding teét, cried, “Bet, beef!” When this country trembled in the scales of being, when every patriotic heart from Maine to Canfornia was thrilled with the duty it owed to its country, Samuel J. Til- den, in the mterest of his private business and private Success, Would wait till he saw that the call for troops Was proper. (Laughter and cheers.) This is the cai didate offered by the democratic leaders to the people of this country. ‘They offer you a candi- date who, until Wiliam M, Tweed was exposed and the best men of nis own party rose against bim, was in constant communication with Tweed. Why it, gentlemen, that the republican party has for fitte i held the reins of government in this country t has understood the needs of the country, and if we are to move toa victory in November next it will be alone because that in this Convention, on which the eyes of the whole Union are. fixed to-day, will be determined and reaffirmed the principles of the party, and if, fellow ciuzens, somewhere in th State of yours, bearing in mind the preeise situation, there can be found man somewhat withdrawn from polities, without the entanglements which men in pub- lie lite always becessarily surround themselves with; if he be a man of character so absolutely | pure that the sun shiniog in the heavens is not more spotlessr if he be a man of ability so acknowledged that he has been placed at the head of the most honorable of human professions, not alone in our State but in the whole Union; if he bea man so approved by his judgement, by the deep conviction of this country, that, looking over its 40,000,000 of people to find who shall be its most sitting minds to seek the wisest and adopt the tem- | perate views of this country upon the com- | pieion of its centennial anniversary—if he | be a man whose eloquence has been borne across tho sea, and im the presence of assembled Europe bas stood for you and bas stood for every State in the Union; and if, in addition to all this, he man who from the first has been a republicaa and a republican only, since the tme there has been.a republican party, und, as my eloquent friend bas well aatd of Mr. Morgan, has’a'ways been ready in support of the regular nom- ibations Of that party, be 1s the man peculiarly fitted for the crisis we have to meet. With such a man as our teader, republican victory throughout the Union is as certain as the risig of the sun upon the day of the election, Gentlemen, | will not detain you. 1 speak to you for those who you know are watching to-day to hear your decision, 1 speak to you for those thou. sands of tried and true men the country over who aro watching the bulletin boards in every city to learn if New York has placed in nomina- tion that man most disliked by the democratic party, William M. Evarts. (Prolonged cheering.) And, Mr. Chairman and fellow delegates, in preseptmg for your suffrage the nate of William M. Evarts I ask you not alone for your voices, but to bear the heart beat of all nen in this land who desire the same success of the republican yarty ratify the nomination which I have the honor to make, and glad response of this country will resound from every State and cause the heurts of the republican peopie to beat with gratitude. (Great and continued applause. ) General MarTiNpDALs, of Monroe, seconded the nom- ination of Mr. Evarts because he Believed it was called for by the spontaneous popular sentiment of the State, In personal character he is the equal of any. In hig presence calumny 1s silent, His aptitude for affairs has been abundantly shown in his professional life, In intellectual culture and ability he hus no superior. He is more than the peer of most men. Lei us gather around him, place in his hands the banner Excelsior, You shall simpiy respond to the popular intuitions of the Stute and give an carnest victory. Mr. Depxw, of Westchester, while fully recognizin; the great ‘worth of both Mr. Evarts ani Mr. Morgan, rcse to nominate another, whose name, he sincerely believed, would command a greater measure of success in the coming campaign, The man he would name is a statesman broad enough to fulfil every public duty and politician enough to meet and overtbrow the wiliest political adversaries; a man who in over thirty years of political life never met or sustrined deteat, He named William H, Robertson, of Westchester. (Applause) Mr. Dopew, sketched Mr. Robertson’s political career, showing that, living in a democratic district, he bad time and again led the re- publican forlorn hope there, every time winning by in- creased majority. He also reviewed his legislative record, to show that Mr, Robertson’s forming hand bad impressed itselt on every measure of reform, and the path behind was strewn full of the putrid corpses of corrupt schemes which be had encountered md do- stroyed. His name would carry the democratic coun- ties of Putnam, Rockland and Westchester, which no other vame can do, and gain a member of Congress. His nomination will be the yery embodiment aud in- spiration of success. (Applause.) Mr. McAxtuvr, of Rensselaer, next addressed the Convention, and, after extolling bis abilities at consid- erable length, nominated Martin J. Townsend, of Rens- selaer, which eiicited long continued applause. Mr. Prince, of Queens, followed and seconded the nomination of Judge Robertson, not, he said, as a tribute to a personal friend, but ‘as a’ duty which he owed to the pe@ple of this State and to bis party, Against the sham reform of Samuel J, Tiiden we should place the real reform of some of the exponents of the republican party, Judge Robertson was areal reformer, and his acts proved it. Mr. Hate moved that the roll be called, and each delegate as tue namo is called shall namo bis candi- date for Governor. Adopted. EX-WOVERNOR @/ORGAN NOMINATED. The result of the first ballot was—Mo' Evarts, 126; Robertson, 24; Towysend,’ 1! number of votes, 410. Necessary to a choice, 206.

Evarts moved that the nomination of Abraham Lincoln be made unanimous, So vow, in the name of Mr. Evarts and of al! who had so nobly supported him, Mr, Curtis moved that the nomination of Mr. Morgan be made unani- mous. (Great appiuuse.) dir. Darew seconded the motion, (Applause. ) The motion to make the nomination unanimous was adopted, and was followed by enthusiastic cheers, A RECESS TAKEN.

THE LINUTENANT GOVERNORSTIP. Tax Cuair stated that the next business in order was the nomination of a candidate for Licutenant Gov- exnor. Mr. Brutarn, of New York, took the platform, re- ferred to tLe election of eight years ago when the republican candidate tor Governor and Lieutenant Governor were counted out by fraud, and said this Convention has an opportunity bow, in part, to we that wrong by nominating for second place on the ticket of this Convention A. B. Cornell, In the name of the young men of the party in this Stato he pre- sented Mr. Cornell's name and asked its indorsement, ae) r. Huu, of Washington, seconded the nomination of Mr. Cornell.

Mr. Tuompson, of New Nork, endorsed the nomin- ation of Cornell, and spoke of his magnansmity in withdrawing {rom before the Convention for the first place on the ticket. Mr. Wooviy, of Cayuga, begged the Convention to pouse and deliberate and make no mistake to imperil Ali that had. been doue already here and at Cincinnati. If men will but themselves into a position to be hu- milated, let them be humiliated, (Applause) Let the majority of this Convention rule without fear, Lhave heard threats here within a few minutes that unless certain things should be done there is peril to overtake us. I repel such threats. (Applause) I came here with a heart tuil to present a friend for 242; LOle Governor, but when | saw the seuliment so strong for another, I cueeriully ytelded my — preierences. had thought of presenting him for Lieutenant Gov- ernor, but | hesitate, I fear the more mames are pre- #euted the worse we are olf, 1 would be better ta ad, ourn waul morning.

The of bis district bad elected him for two years, has yet one year to serve. Let him serve his term‘out. That was all he (Mr, Spencer) had to say. Mir.

MORGAN, Edwin D, Morgan, the republican nominee for Gove ernor of the State of New York, was born in Washing- toc, Berkshire county, Mass., February 8, 1811, Little 1s known of hie family save that they were plain New England farmers, His tather, Jasper Morgan, lived and labored in such # capacity near the town of Wash: ington until the year 1822, when he removed with hir family to Windsor, Coun. In the early days of his lt young Edwin had the usual bov’s farm work to atten( to during the summer, and in the winter time received the benefit of what learning he could obtais in the viilage school At the age of seventeen h¢ started out in search of fortune with only a few shi lings in his pockets, but with a firm determination and undoubted pluck. The young man’s first resting place was at Hartford, where, in 1828, he bound him. self toa trader for the sum of $50 for the first year, $75 for the second and $100 for the third. His em ployer was a wholesale grocer, and by his excellent habits and industry young Morgan was taken in asa partner in three years’ time, before he had yet obe taived his majority, The particular act which led to his promotion wag im connection with his firat visit to New York city, when, 1n order to combine business with pleasure, he was intrusted to make sundry purchases of tea, sugar, corn, &c. Insfead of buying usual quantity of the luiter staple Edwin negotiated for two cargoes and disposed of them at a good profit on his way home, ‘It was a new phase and out of the old routine, but the gains and resuits were not to be ques tioned, Next morning Morgan was at the store and prepamng to sweep out, af usual, when his omployér told him to lay aside his broom, saying, ‘tA man who can go to New York and on his own responsibility purchase two car, goes and make sale of them without counselling with bis principal can be more advantageously employed than in sweeping out thestore.” The etergy and ability of the ‘clerk were redoubled In the partner and proprietor, and trom that time to this success hag marked ail of Edwin Morgan’s operations. He rapidly accumulates money and gained a splendid business reputation, Shortly after attaining his majority he was honored by an election as a member of the City Counotl of Hart- ford. Beside this oilice he took no notable share in political life until fifteen years later. In 1833 he mar- ried a Misa Waterman, of Hartiord. In December, 1838, he removed to the State of New York and fixed his residence in thw city. With a capi. tal of $4,000 Mr. Morgan established himself in the wholesale grocery trade in partnership with Morris Earle Separating from him aiter suort time he continued in business on Front street alone. Fora period of ten years thereafter he wag one of the busiest aud most ludefatigable operators ot the street, and for moro thay thirty years he has been one of the lurgest operators, His sagacity and discre- tion enabied him to weather successfully the crisis of nd the tinanciul wreck which continued with httle tement up to the year 1842. After the storm had [pmsirg his business Fy tred additional impetus, and the ouse of Edwin D, Morgan & Co. grew into one of the richest in this city, Mr. Morgan first took part in politics as a whig and soon became an assiduous worker inthe fleid. Hig tive connection with the politics of this State and city began in the spring election of 1849 with his clece tion as Assistant Alderman of the Fifteenth ward, Theo us now men of steady business habits and steady, honest principies ’@ in demahd for public offices, ‘Tbe body to which he was promoted then consisted uf very respectable citizeus, aud Mr. Morgan was honored by an election as their Prosideut. In the first year of his office the city suf. fered tho ‘terrible visitation of an epidemic im the form of cuolera. - Hundreds of citizens flew from the island, and 1 toned officials torsook t posts of Mr. Morgan remained firm in his position, and is foresight and prudent mensureg did much to ihe ravages of the irightful diseuse, His labors were recognized by his feliow citizens with his election ag their reprosentative trom the Sixth district im ti ‘State Sepate in 1860 and aguin tn 1852 For four suc- coasive years Le was chosen President pro tem. of that body. His reputation while in that position was Lot that of a polished orator nor artful politician; but of a correct ana efficient business man, ‘ In 1855 be did not run for the Legislature, but was appointed Commissioner of Emi jon, an oilice which he oceupred until 1858, Mr. been bitterly opposed to slavery, and jo! tion movement at its earliest period. The merging of the whig party into tho repubican found him among the foremost members of the latter, which repre- seated to him another step of national pro. towerd the abolition of avery, = Ab the first National Convention, which convened at Pittsburg in May, 1856, he acted as vice president, and was there made chairman of the National Committe in whieh y he cailed to order the first Republican Convention at Phiiadephia, In 18908, Mr. Morgan was the candidate of that party for Governor of New York, and, against general expectations, was elected to the office, He was re-clecied two years later vy a majority which was oniy equalled fourteen years afterward. Upon his second election he bad more urying duties to perform than the peace'ul administration of State affurs. War was threatening the country, and ale be was averse to piunging into a civil conflict, it so terrible a disaster coulii be avoided, yet when this was seen to be no longer possivie, be was ioretnost wil aid for tee federal government.’ When President Line coln issued a cail tor 75,000 volunteers, the State of New York was very inadequately provided for turnish« ing tts quota of 14,000 men. Governor Morgan comm nicated at ovcs with the Leglsiature, aud in hours an act was passed authorizing the enroliment of 30,000 men for two years instead of three months, and $3,000,000 for State military service. vo the close of this troubled term Governor Morgan devoted his entire energies to the success of the Union cause, His term was marked by such acts as the organization of several volunteer regie ments, raising the sum of $4,000,000 on his own pete sonal Ferponsibility ew York and Albany, to be given as bounty to volunteers, and rending 25,000 mea into the field at eperiious moment, in two years tue \
