ton meets at Utica Wednesday OF next week.
The object is to nominate state officers and presi-
dental electors. Gov. Seward will receive the ne
mination and very likely by a unanimous vote. A
few small lawyers in various parts OF the state have
sndeavored to make interest against him, and some
blockheads here, who did not get the Offices they
wanted also undertook to defeat his denomination ;
but their efforts alike abortive and laughable
The delegates from the country will the matter
straight. The ignorance and presumption of the
city politicians always furnishes matter of amusc-
ment to the discriminating and sagacious managers
from the interior. They listen with cool contempt
to the REORGANIZATION of men who know just enough
to get up ward meetings. and then vote their pre-
postsrous projects down without debate. Your wary
and able politician very rarely goes to convention
from the city. 1t is the busting. noisy, empty
headed bapblcr that thrusts himself forward to the
exclusion of the of sense and judgment, who
gets the appointment of delegate, and if it was not
| for the conservative influence from the interior,
| precious mess would be made of it to be sure.

The NOVEL Marriages CAsE.-We mentioned
Yesterday that the dHautve case, had been brought
to close, for the present at leas-the court having
the further consideration Of the matter I'M
til Monday the 18th inst. The Philadelphia Inquirer
well remarks that, is deeply to be regretted that
such exhibitions Of family diff cuties and prvacies
should be spread open for public gaze. Pity it is
that the penetralia Of the domestic altar should
thus be invaded by the eye of vulgar curiosity, and
all its sacred mystery developed Several instances
have occurred, within the last year, in which pub

alleges systematic iil-treatment and neglect the

and enters into much detail as to the preliminary
measures connected with the marriage. The
gagements were twice broken off. and when the bril-

melancholy and miserable. D'Hauteville released
her from the engagement, under the circumstances

Of nearly all the letters that have passed between

entertained Of the fervor Of the young lady's aiec
lions, there can be doubt Of the strength Of her
intellect. Some Of her letters very finished and
elegant specimens OF composition, and many Of the
passages mastery in their eloquence and beauty

| Mrs. dHautville is now only Il years Of age and

cause Of separation, to our view, is the utter want
of congenIality OF sentiment and feeling. This want

the wife capricious and the lady to think her hus
band cold, exactng, and domineering. Instead Of
| yielding to each Others dissimarities Of opinion
and character, they appear from the commencement
TO have battled for supremacy. The result must be
obvious to any one.
