The Locofoco party throughout the State seem to
be in great difficulty. What is to be the result of
these internal throes and agonies, no can fore
tell Judging from appearances, the present diff
cultes cannot be reconciled without great sacrifices
of one the other faction. The Landowners, it
they are not more numerous faction than the old
Hunkers, are evidently wider awake than their RI
walls. Take this case, which has Just transpired in
Oneida county.
County Convention was called-the call signed
by both factions-the place of meeting to be the
courthouse at Rome--the day the 18th January at
eleuen o'clock, as stated in the notice. The Barn
burners left Utica in sleighs early in the morning,
and arrived at Rome before mine o'clock. Between
nine and ten o'clock they organized by choosing
CHARLES A. MANN President and JOHN E. HINMAN
and others Vice Presidents. Human is one of the
Young Democracy. / have known him personally
for something more than thirty years, and, let me
add, he understands these rapid movements and is

A few minutes before elepen o'clock the old
H,mkers arrived, about FIVE hundred of them, in the
cars. But the Banburaers had passed such reso-
lutions they thought the good of the party requr
ed, and the chairman refused to put any question
but to adjourn SINE die, the business of the Conven
ton having been tremendously completed.
The old Hunkers, however, assembled, chose
their officers, and passed sundry resolutions As
neither set of resolutions have reached this city, so
far as am advised, can say nothing Of their cha
racter. As l do not intend to take part for or
against either of the high contending parties, it is
proper that / should state that my information is

New YORK, JANUARY 81, 1916.
During the past week rumors have reached this
city from Albany that there design on foot to
introduce into the Legislature, through the agency
of certain Wings, set Of resolutions nstructing
our Senator'S and Representatives in Congress to
vote in favor of the proposition to terminate the
Joint occupancy of Oregon, and such other
as would apparently, perpetuate the peace of the
country, but really involve in war with Great
Britain. These resolutions, il was whispered would
be so drawn as TO secure large Wing vote, and
probably an undivided Locofoco vote thus encour-
aging Mr. Polk to adhere the hostile position he
has assumed.
Ii is not improbable that these rumors may have
been exaggerated, and that the jealousy of the I'M
inching friends of the Constitution and its terms of
may have been excited to greater ex-
tent than the circumstances Of the case required.
Last evening, however the Democratic Uhig
General Committee of this city held regular meet
ing, and this subject received a Tree discussion.

drawn with great circumspection, in regard to the
feelings of every and all Wings, whatever may be
their opinion on the question of slavery. have not
copy of the resolution but have heard it read. Ii
expresses hope that the Wing party in our State
Legislature will stand firmly by the principles which
they have at all times promulgated and defended,
and which the Constitution guarantees. The reso-
ution closes by declaring the entire confidence
which the Wings of this city repose in their Wing
friends in the Legislature, that they will reject all
attempts to divide them, avoiding all entangling al
lance and connexon with factions Of other parties.
