10 Syracuse, Proceedings of the Twin Conventions yesterday. Coiiimiifees of Conference Arrange Fusion. Plenty of Palaver, but Very Litt'ie i NOTHING The Figjdt for Narrowing Down to I'hnrrh, and BeVJh. WILL RUN? Hints the Comiug Platform. The For jnJ Proceedings and Inner Wo xkings the Conventions.

Syracuse, Sept. 4, 1872. To-day very exciting one among the Ocinocrr ftlc aaa tef politicians assembled in this city for KUe mj rposc of nominating tho liberal ticket, alther gh both Conventions have already hJuf two hci igions, everybody is as much befogged oaf ever as to what the upshot of the combined doWtocrati' )ns of the coalitionists will be. There was a t-ime when State conventions assembled only af the slate had been fixed, and nothing was lef for the delegates to do bnt to follow in the wait 0f the leader and vote just as they were told bcro' re hand; but the proceedings in the two m9 to-dav have shown concluslvelv that tlmc-lio nored Blatc bUBlness has fallen into illsrepute. i AN INNOVATION.

The Idea 0f a convention assembling withont knowing ao the candidate or the majority really is is ccrtoiT rty a novel one, and the old wire-pullers, aceustome to the ways and means resorted to In past years to produce harmonious action all around( are natnr aJJy rather astounded at the Innovation. The fact' wc'Qs well, however, for the independence tofthevk rious candidates; but whether the slate work wl not come Into play before the wind-up is quest! ori which to-morrow alone can decide, NOTHING F1XEP. Of cc every delegate Just now has an Idea that tl 4g8 are sure for this particular favorite for this ai jc'i that place on the ticket, which may be the case! as the minor positions are concerned; tout 11 an undeniable fact that not one delegate in either Convention, as yet can tell with ce jrtalnty who the candidate for Governor will was in this pleasant mood of glorious un. eel ta'tnty that the two Conventions met this aoon and wlilled away the entire day ilk and consultations which had noth? og whatever to do with the question i as tr I who the head man on the ticket should be. (V By D-morrow matters will of course have to take a diffi jrent turn and somebody must be nominated, lat or no Blate.

FALSE HOIKS. ind In the meantime the workers tor the various candidates will console themselves in the belief tl1 At each one of the three stands as good a chance as Ms competitor. This evening Beach has loomed up ill greater prominence than ever, and it Is confidently asserted by his friends that he will go into the Convention with fifty votes pledged for him. and tills witbont the assistance of the Kings county delegation, who will vote for lilm solid If ho Is hard pushed and Schell. Kiernan Is not so strong as he was Jnst night, and the Schell people claim to have taken several votes away from hfm.

However this mav be, It Is pretty cortain that the fight Is gradually narrowing down between Beach and Kernan, with the prospect of the nomination of Schell Should the supporters of the other two candidates fce too evenly divided to admit of a break of either party from one to the support of the other. WILL CnURCU Rt'K There are those, however, who Btill believe that Church will be dragged Into the contest, and be nominated, whether he likes It or not. Kernan's friends claim that the Chief Justice cannot at this S. late hour become a candidate without consent of Kernan, Inasmuch as he has already pledged his mipport to the Utica favorite, while declaring he vould not be a candidate under any clro nmstances. On the other hand It Is contended Kt crnan will bo entlroly satisfied If the Judge usents to run and will willingly withdraw from the field.

At any rate, I have It from a reliable source that one of the most prominent delegates In the wl'l nominate Church to-morrow, and In dolm so ho will be able to give positive tliat thc Judge will not decline the nomination provided it Is made by both Conventions wtthot 1 a contest with the other candidates. The I.teutet Governorship is yet nn open question. At thc dpetlng of the two conference committees, this arte fneon, quite a lively discussion ensued as to the na rtitlon of places on the ticker, and it has leaked ol 'l the liberals have a hankering after the Congt essnian at large, and don't care particularly uix.ii having the Lieutenant Governor. a row ahead.

Ho said the committee had the appointment of a certain five gentlemen to as members of iho Conference Committee on part of the democrats, and he t.ieju read the names. A JOKE OS T1LDEN.

The first. fca8 8. jllden. There was a general titter Sum my called out his own cognomen at the V.end of the list, but when be went on aud pave tUc names of the others as John Kelly, James Warren and William Chsg delegates looked thunderstruck. Mr.

When, however, It was discovered that the five members oi the committee were all members of the State Central Committee, and that two of them were not members of the Convention at all, the nigger became visible to everybody. The thing had been done, however, and was beyond remedy. The audacity with which the names were brought forward secured Tlldcn's success; but the majority of the delegates do not seem to relish the snnb by which they were told they knew so little about their business that It required the assistance of outsiders to mako the crooked wtrys straight.

no fun in the evkninu. The evening session of the Convention was barren of Interest, and time hung so heavily upon the hands of the delegates that a glee club was called in to amuse them while they wore choosing their representatives from their respective Congressional districts, whose duty it will be to present names of Presidential electors in common with the committee onnnlntdil hv thA ntliAr PnriVAntlnil. Will lft the COH mutation aa to tUe Congressional Representatives was at Its height General Gregg, a delegate to the Liberal Convention, entered, and Informed the democrats that the republicans had selected their Committee on Electors. The Convention rose on masse as the General entered, anct lie was received wilh loud cheers. After singing the "Star Spangled Hauiier" and Joining in the chorus of other popular songs by a soloist, who was called to the platform for the purpose, an adjournment till to-morrow took place.

The liberal republicans assembled at Bhakspeare Hall, That it should be respectable in point of numbers is natural, since it is composed of three delegates from each Assembly district. This is, however, not its only merit. A former delegate of republican conventions now attendant upon thiB one remarked to me last evening, "I observe among the delegates here a large majority of the more prominent and Influential men of tlio republican party 1 have been accustomed to meet at convention. Indeed, in mixing among the delegates, I scarce realize any The sea of upturned fHces which presented itself as tlio body was called to order fully justified the remark. On the right of the stage, In a convenient position to perform the part allotted to him, stood the ljberal SENATOR.

RKFBEN E. FENTON, his face calm and placid with the satisfaction resulting from the array of character and intelligence before him ready to support lilm In the Important and risky position he has assumed. To the right or the centre sat Frcenmu J. Fitlitan, or New York, willing to aid the action of his chief. Scattered through the andicnco were observable tho well-known faces of Mr.

Dcwltt C. Littlojohn, of Oswego; Mr. Chunncey M. Depcw, of New York; Mllo Goodrich, Member of Congress, of Tompkins; A. M.

Bliss, of Brooklyn; Waldo uutclilns, of New York; 0. H. Sherrlll, cx-Cannt Commissioner: Major General 0. K. Graham, Henry A.

Barnum, Charles Hughes and a host of others with names familiar as household words throughout tho State. It had been settled during the past twenty-four hours that a conference committee should be appointed Immediately following the temporary organization to confer with a similar committee from the Democratic Convention its sessions at Wlcting Hall, and that the latter would nouilnute for the larger portion of the candidates to be placed before the people at the forthcoming Stale election. I HOW THINGS LOOKED, For this reason public interest was mostly concentrated upon the democrats, and the gallery of Shakspeare Hall, devoted to the spectators, presented a beggarly array. The main body -of tlio hall was, however, comfortably filled by the delegates. No ornamentation was observable In tho room, only until a later hour In the afternoon, when the portraits of the national liberal candidates were placed upon the right and left of the stage.

Mr. John Cochrane called the Convention to order, and prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Bailey, a young man of pleasing address, who Intimated to the Almighty that the Convention hail met for the advancement of reform and asked his blessing upon the deliberations. At this a radical local paper has naturally taken umbrage, and states that the prayer was quite In the nature of a stump speech.

CR1TICI8M ON COCHRANE. speecu 01 mjfc uocnruuu which loiiuweu, wliile by nothing new. was cncraetle and eloquent, lie called attention to the Cincinnati Convention, called In the Interest of reform, and to its success In arousing the masses throughout the various sections, and paid an eloquent tribute to the candidates nominated, whose names were received with thunders of applause. The magnanimity of the democrats at Daltimore was also feelingly alluded to, and met with a hearty response flroin hands and feet of Die Convention, the members of which had evidently to be on the best possible terms with their old antagonists. In referring to the liberal republican party throughout the State he stated there was a local organization in each one of the sixty counties, and from the 12S Assembly districts full delegations were here present.

lie closed with a compliment to the high character and influence of the nodv before him, which was received In silent but evident acquiescence. In accordance with the understood programme Mr. T. Q. Yonnglove, of Saratoga, was made temporary chairman and was conducted to the chair amid usual demonstrations, which snbslding he proceeded to read a written speech which referred to THE WAR AND THE ISSUES 0ROWING OtT OF IT, now passed, and urged the necessity of fraternization, which now seems to be the watchword.

Ho spoke of the want of confidence throughout the South In the good intentions of the government, and the necessity of restoring this, and convincing the people there that their interest is regarded as identical with onr own. This Convention. he said, Is called In the interest of reform. No rings, no corruption, no personal aggrandizement. An allusion to the necessity of civil service reform was received with much enthusiasm.

Following the appointment of sccrc tary he roll was called. As this is the llrst representative body of liberal republicans from all parts of the State since the disruption, the roll attracted unusual anxiety and attention, and as the names of those heretofore more prominently connected with the republican party were called, enthusiastic and long-continued cheers followed. Naturally, the name of Fenton attracted the most attention, and the genial face of the tall glowed with pleasure at this token of approval of his action and present political coalition. There was evident satisfaction at the termination of the roll on the part of the entire Convention at the moral support which the presence of one afforded the other. A motion was made for a Committee on Credentials, which was withdrawn, as the roll showed with full delegations uq contested seats.

On arising to offer a resolution for a Committee of Conference Mr. Fenton was greeted with three hearty cheers, the Convention springing to its feet for that purpose. The resolution called for a committee of one from each Judicial district, and seemed lnocuous enough, but for some reason OHRin VISIONS seemed to nit across the nduds of some of the couutry delegations, and Mr. Flowers, of Madison, with much apparent feeling, moved that the committee consist of two from each Judicial district. A sharp debate followed, in which It was stated that the democrats wcro to have two and we ought to have two, and fears seemed to be entertained that a small committee, and through that, the Convention, was likely to be swallowed up In the Insatiate maw of democracy.

Considerable interest was aroused by the first appparanee of Isaac F. Hunter, a yellow delegate, from New thought there ought to be two, and suid something abou the candldatle In connection with honesty, which, though not pertinent, caused much applause. Mr. Fithfan defended the resolution in Its original state; and Mr. Fenton, rising to explain, stated that NO FORMAL ARRANDRMKNT had been made, but it was understood the two committees were to be appointed.

He would not object to the change, If such was the sense of the Convention, but lie preferred the original resolution. The amendment, was then withdrawn and an effort made to postpone matters until after permanent organization; but the question recurring ou the original resolution, It passed. Several resolutions were offered to lie on the table until arter permunent, organization, among them one for a committee on i munttitlfinu The Chairman announced the committees on permanent organization ami on conference, when tlie Convention took a recess until four o'clock. At four p. M.

the Convention again assembled. The adjournment of the Democratic Convention untlf seven caused the galleries to be filled by visitors and citizens, and the hall presented a much more animated appearance than In the morning. Iron calling the Convention to order the C'nalrman stated that neither the Committee oh' nor tho permanent organization wta' ready to report, and asked the pleasure of tho CorBPentlon. a motion whs made to adjourn, followed by loud crtes of "No, no," and "Let have a speech," and iramedlntelv calls for prominent sneiikeiV resounded through the hall, but no one responded. In answer to a call for himself, John Cochrane arose and called the attention of tho Convention to the fact that they had conio together for the transaction of important business, and tbo time pok a was after that renewed tho motion whlrh Oiilrnidii clftTOd col nodi i lie TTicilihers were, however, not disposed to septate, so vhey resolved themselves 1 po'ntlng Cochrane to presldd.

"Die November election woulil kill off all the radical leaders ami leave the rank and tile (o enjoy the blessings ol a good government. lie mentioned many prominent colored men who were supporting the liberal ticket, and expressed his opinion that many of the colored people would vote it. He referred to General L)lx as a gentleman some time since deceased, whoso friends had forgotten to place pennies on his eyes, which caused much laughter. This satisfied the desire for speech-listening. und a motion to adjourn prevailed.

The Convention camo together at seven o'clock, pursuant to adjournment. In answer to a cull tor a report of committees, Mr. Fcnton, from the Conference Committee, stated that a very harmonious meeting had been held, but ho was not yet ready to report upon all i the important questions which had arisen, and stated that an arrangement had been proposed, by which the Conventions should appoint a committee of one from each Congressional district, to act tofether for the appointment of an electoral ticket. Ids action met witli the approval of the Convention, and the respective delegations were authorized to make their selection of a member for this committee. CONSIDERABLE FEELING was manifested following the statement that the Committee on Permanent Organization was not realty lO report, uut LUC Amuuui ui Uiu vumcience being called to the delay which thin report would involve, being incompatible with the feeling of the Convention on the subject of the electoral ticket, a motion to adjourn prevailed.

It was stated in the Convention that the report of the Committee on Permanent Organization is already perfected, and that lion. Chauncey M. Dcpew is chairman, which is a change from the original programme, which gave the place to Llttlcjolin. Another Conferenttal Meeting. Syracuse, Sept.

The Conference Committees on the partition of place held another meeting to-night; but, after a prolonged session, adjourned until to-morrow morning without coming to any definite conclusion. They will meet again to-morrow morning, at eight o'clock, when it Is believed a general agreement will be arrived at. It is rumored that mnny of the republicans are willing to let tnc democrats have all the places on the State ticket, provided they get the Congressman at large, that two members of the Democratic Committee are willing to concede the Congressman. There was an immense demonstration by the liberals in the city to-nlglit, consisting of a torchlight procession, bauds of music, white coated battalions, The marshuls were ex-Judgo C'omsCock aud cx-Governor Alvord. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

syracuse, Sept. 4, 1872. The Democratic State Convention met in the Wletlng Opera House at twelVe o'clock noon, and was called to order at fifteen minutes before one o'clock by Mr. Samuel J. Tilden, Chairman of the State central Committee.

mr. tii.den's remarks. Mr. Tilden spoke as dei.kgates to tub democratic state antagonisms which civil war lias created between the kindred populations Of our country must be closed up now forever. (Applause.) Until wo enn accomplish that result how can we Imve good government anywhere So long us in every town and in every county and in every State the question Is not whether men ure qualified, whether they nre competent, whether they are honest, whether they are lalthnd to the people, but what they think about something going on a thousand tubes distant, how can wc government in New election has turned, not on questions Incident to our selfgovernment, but on question!) that affect the internal affairs of these question of slavery, the question of war, the question of if to-day tlio abuses or corruption and wrong pervade every part of our communities, If there is a condition of tilings on which good men begin to despair of self-government, I tell you, lellow citizens, it is because for twenty vears wo huve given no attention to our own affairs, but wo have "been attending to distant Interests and distant questions.

(Applause.) What do wc ffnd in the Southern States, where the people used to be our brethren and our people who fought with us through the battles of the Revolution, who Joined with us In giving free government to this Continent and all its great future; who gave us Washington, who gave us Jefferson; who made for us the Declaration of Independence; who gave us Madison, who was the real author of the Constitution of the United States. What is the condition there? 1 say to-day, In the face of Heaven and liefbro nil mankind, that the carpet-bag governments are infinitely worse than Tweed's government ol the city 6f New York (Applause.) If Idared to invite tlio democracy and to load tliein to overthrow that government, why should I not stand here to-day to Invite them to (he glorious old standard that waves lor equal rights and just government overall the Continent or America. (Applause.) While the robberies In the city of New York may, perhaps, count some twenty millions, the robberies in these carpetbag governments of the South count two hundred millions. For every dollar that has been stolen among us, and against which you and I and every democrat In the laud raised his indignant say that for every such dollar Ave and perhaps ten lias been stolen by these carpet-bng governments of tlio South, Aye, iny fellow democrats, the great metropolis, may, perhaps, boar the loss of twenty millions; but how can the people of the South, impoverished by civil war, blighted in their Industry, crushed in their can they stand the enormous robberies of the governments that are set over them? If lids be true and just picture ol' the situation? and can any man deny it? does any innn deny (lues not tho administration of llcnernl Grant rectify a national wrong, a national crime, a public evil, that erics out to all humanity for redress? Fellow citizens, General Grant cannot rectify it. He depends upon the men of the carpet-bag government for votes, as they depend upon lilui for moral, or rather immoral, support for their systems of government.

General I would not tear it leaf from ibe chnplct with which a grateful country has adorned liis brow for military Grant doubtless Is a military hern, hut he cannot amputate the leg of his own political body. If the knife ami cautery are necessary tlio people must call in a surgeon to apply liie proper remedy. (Applause.) Fellow citizens, a change in the government at ashington is necessary not only for safety, for lustice, for peace, lor reconciliation in the South, hut it is necessury lor reform In the federal government. It is necessary for good administration und just government in the North ns well as In the South, it is for that, change, without personal cnmltv, without passion, wittioui Injustice or wrong; it is for a change in the tederal administration that the masses of the democracy arc to-day moving all through the great State of New York mid throughout the States of the North. I know it is said tlint the gentleman presented ns a candidate at tlio Cincinnati to represent certain democratic Ideas of the historic past mid certain otiier dem reratlc Ideas that arc yet in the remote future.

The democratic party, dialing itscll unable, from the prejudice and tlio passions that were stimulated at each successive election, when we were led to anew crusade of hatred and destruction to our lellow citizens of the South, lindlng itself unable to-Jay to introduce practically the great questions of democratic administration und democratic government, tins resolved to go into the with its throe millions of voters as an arbiter to decide the question between the two brandies of the republican party. The democratic party of the United States had 110 part or lot in the Convention at Clnritiniiti or in its notion. It is responsible for liothimr that whs doiio nothing that was it sees, contemplating the broad Held of the American Continent, that at last there is a portion of the republican party that finds the instinct of the old ideas of good government moving In its bosom and impelling to separate trom the radicals, the abuses, the wrongs and dangers through which the country is being rapidly carried by the party that controls Its national administration, and with any violation ot principle, not with any violation of any compact, and without any it stands in the consciousness of its history, and with a lull belief in Its own luture. It stands on tins occasion to do nothing for Itself, hut to give victory to that portion of the republican party that best represents the interests and the needs of the country. (Applause.) Having been consulted myself, but without any power to hind anybody anterior to the Cincinnati Convention, I advised that tbrre should be no democrat placed upon Hint republican ticket.

I advised that no scltlsll Interest, and no selfish object should mingle with the gient duty ot sacrifice and effort for our country that lay etore the three millions of voters which constitute the democratic party. (Aptdaii'c.) Hut If tho republican party or any portion of that party felt Itself able to begin a movement that should result In better administration and better government it was our duty, without reference to combination, without reference to any plan or purpose of the future, to bid it (Jod speed and to contribute this mass of voters, who stood through all ilsngcr, tnrough nil peril, through all trlAl, lor what they believed to he wise and right for our country. I bear It --aid Dial there are Ideas of democratic policy and democratic government which are not amt which cannot lee represented by Mr. Greeley. Is It not truo that at the Cincinnati Convention, which was formed la-fore anybody had any idea of who would be the candidate, they prepared a platform that was supposed to lie lite wisest anil best that ttie actual condition of the country would admit ot; that they wentfor every reform, that they went for every measure which tt nad been lbs traditional glory ot the democracy to uphold, and that today, niter the evils and the enlamities of lour years of civil wnr.

wr are within reach of attaining? Ccnticmen talk of I stand with a party opposed to A year ago from this platform I stated. In your name and as your humble ngent, what i believed to I be a great duty of the oppose centralism and to oppose corruption yet can we shut our to the fact that in reference to the system of duties, tor instance, and the revenue system, Hint alter four years of civil war, after the accumulation of an enormous debt and After the cstuhledimcni of a complicated and oppressive system of taxation, Hint you ennnot go bark today to tho position which you occupied ten years ago; that you can simply look torward to tho gradual and progressive establishment of your principles in the future, alter you have effected a reconciliation between the North and imp isouiur i Mill reconciliation uie preliminary question. Until tlint Is accomplished it In vain tor yon to look to of government and questions of administration. I appeal to my fellow democrats of the rural I see In Oils vast audience men from the Interior and western part of the state who have not voted tor tt local candidate In live and twenty years with the slightest clianco of his being elected, but whofhasrc stood tor tnc cause with their ling flying, lorn, hut not have stood during of adversity, during periods that were hopeless, because Jliere was In tnclr hearts thgt devotion to the principles ni free government which If undying and Immortal. If there is ever a time when jny heart goes out with wanntll to any pcopfcvto any community, it is the now n-trodden democrats iJio intoil ir and western portions of the Htute.

Tljey will do me the lustier to any that 1 have alwnys stood by fc'icin, stood by their cause mid by tlielr Interests, and I would g.idly hr.ve excbnngcd tile enormous majorities tliat ctional division ot the party bus given us in the and eastern Part of the Htute to have redeemed those gn at agricultural counties, which In early years were the homo of Ihc democracy. (Applause.) I believe that now is that opPvHiUU'J. wU lipi'iiU uijr parevf jiiiu 4 UUTJOHSkb 5, At a close, I stand by the honest men, good and true men of the interior districts, have carried our flair for the last ot century. (Applause.) Fellow democrats. If thought that the democracy wus, as is taiselv and unjustly charged liy their adversaries, the party of slavery; If I believed it was the party of disunion, I would lift my eyes to heaven aud thank tiod that Jt had perished for ever.

But 1 know there never was a time when the great heart of the democracy beat for any form of human slavery. I know that Thomas Jefferson, its lather and founder, was opposed to that form of slavery that existed in Ike State of which he was a citizen. I know, from my early reading of the position and principles of the democratic party, that it wus for liberty everywhere, and although it respected the rights of Independent communities in the South, although it respected the contracts uud dges of the constitution, there never was a time whcti the heart of the democracy tailed to beat for human slavery In nnv country or In aiiy clime, (Applause.) Although during the recent struggle pf civil war we were often maligned, and there were occasionally tboush and impracticable men who compromised our honor, no man has ever said that when it came to paving our share of tho taxis wc did not pay them In tit 11. No man has ever said, when it came to furnishing our shure of nt who went forward to maintain the buttle for the tlag ol our country, that we did not furnish nut onlv our share, hut far more than our share. (Applause.) We were all In favor of austalning the goveminent in every Just and legitimate measure.

We were not tore nvertlng the government into a tyranny. We were not for establishing arbitrury principles over our brethren of the South. We huve waited and waited wearily, but putlcntly, for the day of deliverance of our brethren and of ourselves from the passion and violence of the hour, and to-day, I trust, we behold It. They say that the democratic party Is dead and burled. If the democratic party wero a party such as they characterize if, I would be willing that It were dead and burled; but if It is the party ol generous sentiments, of high emotions, ot patriotic ardor, fit favor ot the unity of the government lor which it fought under Jackson, In lavor of the decentralization of power according to the principles of Jackson, then I say that in its principles and in Its cause the democratic party can never die.

(Applause.) By whatever name It Is oalled. with whatever allies it confronts its common foe, It will stand for the original principles ot Jefferson; It will stand for the traditions that made it glorious in the early years of the Republic; It will stand to represent that great future which dawns upon the country and that alone makes government In tlic form ot freedom possible on a Continent like ours. (Applause.) We welcome to our ranks and we are happy to loin we shall all who think as we think concerning the great interests of our country. (Applause.) I have heard it said that what we arc now doing constitutes a coalition, a violation of principle, a violation of public honor, a violation of private self-respect For my part, as I look upon the constitution, as I look upon the conductor the democracy in the crisis, there is nothing In all history that challenges so murh admiration for its disinterestedness, for Its noblo devotion to the public welfare, for its sacrifice of everything to the common cause of a country yet destined to he great and to be glorious through our efforts and our sacrifice. (Great applause.) Mr.

Tildkn then nominated Colonel Lester B. Faulkner, of Livingston, as temporary Chairman. Carried. Messrs. Beebe, of Sullivan, and Cassldy, of Albany, were appointed a committee to conduct Mr.

Faulk ner to the chair. Messrs. James Mooney, of Erie; Eugene Raymond, of Greene, and W. W. Moseley were made temporary Secretaries.

BEEBE'S SPEECH. gitri.fiies or tns Cowvk.stios?For this high murK ot voiir confidence and favor I nm, I assure you, profoundly grateful. I accept It, not as compliment to inyscll personally, nor ret solely as a compliment to the gallant county which have the honor to represent in this Convention; but I accent it rather as an evidence tnat in the trying ordeal now impending the gallant chieftains of the party have determined to call to the iront tho young men of the State of New York. (Applause.) And now. venerable chieftains, as you nave complimented us In yottr councils, I nssure you that in tlds contest we will prove no laggards in the held.

(Applause.) The Issues now presented are of vast Import, not to this generation atone, hut to those who shall occupy these broad plains lor ages yet to come. Tlic contest before us. In a word. Is to determine whether tho constitutional government ot our fathe rs shall prevail or whether a military dictation shull overhear every bulwark of liberty. (Applause.) Tho venerable chairman from ttic State Committee said to you that he would not tear a leal from the cliaplct of fame which a grateful nation had woven about the brow of tho present Chief xerutlvc of this great nation.

No, gentlemen, nor would hut ho of all others whom (tod has made must understand that their misdeeds will spare." Wo have, not to do with this illustrious gentleman a warrior. II' the cool arbitrament of history ball he that he come short in the civic walks or life, and. similiter still, that ho has licen guilty by his own motion or through the Influence or the advice of the corrupt incn surrounding him. I say if that arbitrament shall dlin or obliterate his military glory he must thank his own sordid nature and his bad advisers. Gentlemen, wc are not in this contest In a spirit of antagonism to any one on tlod's earth.

Think yon that this chieftain whom they have pinned In this high position is of such personal consequence as to draw together at Cincinnati all the great and Illustrious tnen who helped to make him President! Think you wo aro here merely to strike down one man and upraise another This, as I read it, Is not the purpose. We are engaged in one general movement; wc have risen above the mlscralrte plane of partisanship; we stand upon the high ground of patriotism. (Applause.) I care not to ask how or where another may have fought political contests in this country If he Is now to strike hands with me, if he Is ready to Interlock shields with me ntid stand bv the constitution of my country. Whether democrat or republican he Is my brother for this contest, (Crest applause.) They tell us on the one side that tills is a miserable scheme, concocted by the shrewd lvadors of tho democracy to swallow up lutL.vUiu lUttv HiU? LE SHEET, i I fiflfnasfnnuu la a OAliAtviA Aft 4tl? nflft fit thf ihfAVd I republicans to swallow up the democratic party. Gentlemen, 1 see nothing of that kind in this campaign.

Gentlemen, wc will go into this contest without regard to party consequences. Parties are merely to subserve the interest of the country, and when they stand in the way of that interest 1st party and partisans be overborne. (Applause.) Gentlemen, it Is not my purpose to go back anil recount the scenes and incidents of the past; enough of that. Three years ago this people elected a man high in military fame, and he came with a seraphs song of peace upon his lips. How lias he met the promise he held out? Qo view the fields of the South; see there every passion appealed to; see there the most miserable set of miscreants who evej disgraced the earth high' iu pYuces' or civic.

und sustained by the military arm oi the states. The issue in this contest is 011c, foo, cf local self-government. We propose in this contest to advance the standard ot the peoDlo rights, and we propose to maintain that standard without dishonor. But the answer which some ot their aifherents have made is, that the administration Is not responsible for this. How can they calin their own consciences In this wise? Where hus the administration ever raised great power to crush these miserable cormorants who prey upon the people ot the Soulh, and whose only desire scorns to lie to rob and plunder without regard to law or right But, gentlemen, there Is another grcut standpoint from which they mainly imagine themselves invulnurublc.

Thoy toll us that this administration lias been a financial success. It has been a financial success In the same sense that Jack bheppnrd's exploits were financial successes. (Laughter.) Thev liuvc robbed and plundered the people North and South to a degree unprecedented lit the history of tills country Sr of uny other. Few of you, perhaps, ave reflected upon the terrible array wnich the statistics bring against this party. You who have reflected that while in 18U0 the property of eight of the Southern States amounted to $3,300,000,000, to-uay it amounts to but $1,600,000,000.

Taxation has Increased fourfold. In 1860 tbe taxation was but $10,000,000 upon a property basis of .300.000.000: now IMu ever DIN) (Ntt nnim a nrnncrt.v basis of Is this financial successr Passing from that, how hug thin financial success operated epm you anil I The Secretary of the Treasury, who Is now neglecting his duties and whose duty sndly demands his presence at the department now. can never make two statements of the financial condition of this country agree. Ho differs, you have seen, to the extent of no less than Now, suppose one of you business men had a clerk In vour employ who could not balance his accounts any better than this, would you not require hint immediately to quit your service, and would not your business interests require that a better servant should be employed In his stead Now. we propose to dismiss this administration and these servile minions.

Yes, my democratic friends, we have invaded the office of the New York Tribune, and we have taken Horace Greeley for our standard bearer. (Enthusiastic applause). We know him to have been a formidable partisan in the party, but we believe ho Is an honest man, and will prove a statesman and patriot in the future. (Applause). But if wc err, we err in an anxious and earnest desire to serve our country's Interest, and wc can well afford to let that interest go down to history.

Then, gentlemen, how is it here In New York Is not our State sadly in need of reform We did reform last year, hut now we need some to reform the reformers. (Applause and laughter.) What Is the most sacred right yon now enjoy Gentlemen of New York, a Legislature elected by the specious cry of reform robbed you of the most sacred right Inherent to you, the most sacred right pertaining to citizenship. In the city of New York 132,000 voters have been absolutely robbed of the right of representation in four Congressional districts, which can be manipulated and managed perhaps by the office-holders, who are now forming a formidable phalanx in support of the opposition. Four such districts make up iu alt but 409,000 inhabitants. Four districts, the only crime of which is that they are democratic 1 districts, liavo a population of 709.000.

Here then, gentlemen, are people of this State robbed of the most sacred birthright of liberty. These things demand our attention. It remains lor us in a spirit ot harmony to address ourselves to the work. Another Convcn1 tion is in session in this city. An Illustrious gentleman, who happens to come from the same county as myself, treated the Convention held at Uticu the other day with i a delightful jeremiad over absent faces.

There were illustrious men driven out from that Convention, but 11 General Van Wick hail come to Syracuse to-day lie could hnvo found the men who carry these absent 1 faces. (Laucliter and applause.) They are hero to-day anil they make up one of the largest anil one of the ablest political conventions that huve ever assembled In this State. The Chairman of our State Convention has told us thnt General Urant, although a good general, could not amputate a leg. Why, my dear friends. It was the brain anil the heart that needed amputation.

These men, I say, constitute the brain of the. party. They found that they had been'sowing corruptible seed; but they determined upon self-resurrection if in corruption. It but remains for us to complete this great work. Let no party spirit, no partisan Interest, stand In the way.

Let us, in that spirit of harmony an example of which our party exhibited at Baltimore, go on in the work. Let us conclude our labors here with wisom and deliberation, and i am as confident as though it had been traced by the hand of Cod in lightning along the vault of victory will crown our efforts. (Tremendous applause.) Mr. Williams, or Erie, offered a resolution calling for the appointment of a committee of two frofn each Judicial district on resolutions. Adopted.

Mr. Tildkn announced that the other Convention sitting in the city had already appointed their Committees of Conference on Electors, and as it would save time for this Convention to do the same tonight, he moved to take from the table Jils motion with reference thereto. Carried. Mr. Gregg, one of the delegates from the Liberal Republican Convention, was announced and communicated the fact of the appointment of such Committee of Conference.

The entlro Convention arose and loudly cheered Mr. Gregg as lid appeared. Mr. Tilden's resolution was adopted. Mr.

and was called to order by General Cochrane, chairman of the Central Committee on Proceedings. The Convention was opened with prayer by tho Rev. Mr. Bailey. General Cochrane then addressed the Convention.

Mr. Burt Van Horn moved that Mr. T. G. Yonnglove be made temporary Chairman, which was carried unanimously.

Mr. Fenton offered the following Resolved, That a committee of one from eftcli Judicial district be uppolnted by the Chairman of this Convention, the duty of which committee It nhnll be to confer with any like committee to he nppointcd by the Convention now in session nt Wietlng Hall in regard to the most proper measures to bo taken by the two Conventions, with view to united and harmonious action upon nil matters to be considered by the respective Conventions with reference to the ensuing election. Resolved, That tho Secretury of this Convention be Instructed to communicate tills resolution to the Democratic Convention now in session at Wleting Hall. Mr.

Flower, of Jefferson, moved to make tho commltteo consist of two from each Judicial district. He thought this Convention too largo to make such an important commltteo to consist of only one from each Judicial district. Judge Fitiiian thought that a committee consisting or one from each Judicial district would be better able to dlscbargo the duty than two. Mr. Porter, of Westchester, concurred with this view.

He said this Convention was here lor one purpose of ho believed the smaller committee the better. Mr. Isaac It. Hunter (colored) urged the larger number, saying it was necessary to have all sections of the State represented. Our object here is conciliation; the election of Horace Greeley (upSlause) to tho Presidency, and a good, honest overnor for this State.

(Applause.) Mr. Stewart, of New York, moved that the committee be made to consist of us many us tin similar committee of the other Convention. Alter further discussion Mr. Stewart withdrew his motion. General Mbrritt said it had been stated that tho democratic committee would consist of sixteen.

If so, then he suggested that the number in the reso. lutlon be Increased. Mr. Fenton stated that there had been no understanding that the democratic committee would consist of sixteen. He had no doubt tho democratic committee would be made to consist of eight.

lie had no objection to making the committee consist of sixteen; but he would like to have the amendment withdrawn, becauso he believed tbo other Convention would concur In making the Joint committee consist of sixteen. Mr. Flower withdrew his amendment. A Dkleoatk moved to postpone the further consideration of Hie subject until after permuueut organization. Lost.

In this Convention be, in the tlrst instance, referred to. such committee without debute.

William R. Stewart, of New York, offered i resolution in favor of the enlargement of the ca-! naiu and reduction of tolls, which was referred to the Resolution Committee. The Convention then took a recess till four Jty Afternoon The Ltheral Convention was called to order Again at twenty mlnutos past four P. M. The Ciiaikman stated that he was Informed than neither of the committees appointed at the lng session was ready to report, and as the Othetf Convention had adjourned till seven o'olock It waft not probable the reports would be ready tW thefc time.

There wore calls for several speakers, bnt fiends called for were present.
