FRIEND DIMMocK. lit is now z o.
clock p. NJ, and therefore the first day
ofthe -- what shall ] call ii? Not
Convention surely. Tournament No
tho Growing scene has not been play
ed off vet, but the great farce of farsi
cal wbiggery, enacted by the OFFICE
SEEKERS, Bank Presidente; Direc>
tors, Attorneys, Brokers, Stockholders,
Spectators, Traitors, Store sweeps,
Drones, LoaferE, Et eetcra-and a tew
farmers and, msehenics who have un-
fortunately been led estray BY federal
pfomises.-Since last evening con'in-
ual screaming has been grating on my
ears and even now while | write, drums
are beating wings screaming and the
drunkeo ones swearing in every drec.
lions from my room. We'll, to COM
mence, 1 m,ist admit that the Conven-
ton in numbers, far exceeds that of The
oh Of January; probably three 10 one.
The delegates came in. some on horse
back, soma by Canal, some in carriages
and others on foot. But 10 attempt 10
give your readers the faiutest idea Of
the scene during the day, iss greater
task than | am capable Of performing.
You are aware that soon after The e.
lection lac, fall, the federal party thro'-
oat the State were completely cbaplal>
Iea--aiI their hopes of future success
bIaste5-the ranks broken-their tents
deserted land their arms laidaway TO
rest. They publickly declsod that it
vas worse than useless TO attempt to
re.organise; and in this condition they
remained until our party held their Con.
vention on the 9th Of January. Many
ofthem, with hwhat sincerity cannot
say avowed their determination to sup
~oort Gov. Shannon, and thus they re-
maine d. *halting ng'between doubt and des-
pair, until very lately, '0heh secret or
.dsrs uere issued from head quarters 10
all parts Of the S,ate,to make one more
grand effor.-one more desperate strug
vie, 10 place themselves in power-ant

to!"-so that they could again bring IN.
10 existence the glorious mlenium o
paper promises and shiuplaster currency
saw orders we're issued-and drec

NEY. the god OF their idolatry; has bee
freely used-aad most, # not all, ii
banks in the state, have opened thel
ysults to defray expenses, and ntthei
emisaries here 10 "gtve eclat and con
aequence" 10 the occasion! That a
the arrangements we're Preconcertsd,
evident from the fact that the delega
tions from every county came in abou
the same time, bearing similar banners
with similar inscriptions, &c, &c. T

,hiugs beheld would occupy sewers

suffice. The delegation from Clar
