Some of the members Of this body of John p

this morning, at the above hour. and the conven.
ton was called to order by the President. Having
organized, they proceeded to the discussion of the
balance of the resolutions, together with the ad-
dress, which occupied the attention of he mem.
hers for nearly the whole day. They having allbeen
debated and discussed upon at great length, by
Professor Green, GerrIt Smith, Mr.. Barr, of New
York, and others, they were submitted to the
convention to vote upon, and finally were all
adopted as the platform OF the liberty party. The
nett question brought up was by Gerrt Smith, as
TO the holding OF a national convention, and of the
tine and place A motion was then made by the
Rev. Mr. Plumb 70 have tat Utica, to commence
on The second Wednesday OF next June, and con.

carried UNANIMOUSLY. The subject of national re-
form and land monopoles has caused MANY de-
bates; and MI. Barr, OF New York, beng about

ton II kept his organ OF delivery pretty well occu-
pied. He spoke al some length this afternoon. 10
relation 10 land monopoly. He said every man
entitled to the free use of the earth, and that
he hoped there would yet be a government that
would make such laws as would not allow any
man in the Union to own or have control of over
lC0 acres OF land anG many other arguments were
mt oduced by HIM, In regard to the national re.
formers. He was then followed by Professor
Green and Genit Smith, who widely differed
from Mr.. Barr on many of his points. The great
attraction OF the audiences, In the different SEES
SONS, has been Professor Green, he being man
OF great force in a de bate or discussion.

obtained the floor to himse H. and commenced ex-
pressing his views In regard to the English laws,
&c but at the end Of every sentence, the audience
would burst out In roars Of laughter. 1t being 30
ysntion, the president arose, and told Mr.. Job
that there was business now before the convention
that they wished to proceed with, and gave HIM an
inumation to take seat-which he did, saying he
what constituted an English liberty party man.
They then proceeded to discuss the eleventh reso-
luton, and soon submitted II to the vote of the

The political millennium would seem to be at
hand. The signs of the times are portentious.
The Daily AdpUtiser, the leading free soil paper
in this section of The State. has passed into tine
hands of a company Of the most inveterate old
hunkers. The public were made acquainted with
the state of affairs on Wednesday morning, when
the late proprietor bid adieu, and j. Medbury Il
Co. bowed TO the readers. The company Is un-
derstood to be composed of J. Medbury, Deputy
Collector OF the port, Samuel l.. Selden, Justice of
the Supreme Court, II q. Warner, the proprietor
OF The Courier, (old hunker,) Joseph Sloley, Col
lector OF the port, and E. Darwin Smith, the old

are tanly again on the Old bunker platform. The

have purchased the Adrerttser are opposed to the
meve ment, and they OF course are deslrous OF con-
uolliDg paper having SO large circulation, and
bold one, but they have played It successful
ly. The entire influence of the paper will now be
thrown against the ex-Lieutenant Governor and
his friends. 1t remains now but for the Argus to
swallow up the atlas, to make everything COM
plete.
A case Of religious prejudice occurred here to-
day. Mr.. Ray Marsh, OF Buffalo, the father Of
The girl whose mysterious disappearance and sud-
den return was 80 extensively canvassed, died in
that city, day or two since, and was brought here
tor burial. Being member OF an Odd Fellows
Lodge, the brotherhood turned out good num-
beers, and received the body at the cars. 1t was
tn. conveyed to st. Palnck's Church, for the iu-
neral services. Before proceeding with the solemn
rites, however, the officiating priest requested
every member OF secret society to leave the
chulch. OF course, his brother Odd Fellows, to
ne number of an hundred more. complied, and
the ceremonies Of burial, &c were concluded with
out their aid.
We have but little snow on the ground-not

1.-THE SUMNER Is ENDED"

The time Of Song and Flowers has come
and gone, and the gentle breezes Of Autumn
are heard signing DER the withered beds of de-
caying flowers, and through the branches of
IeafeSs trees, where the merry bird trilIed
forth It's richest songs. The melody Of bah
bllng brook is drowned in the passing winds
the quiet, gentle grove has been stripoed of
It's green roof-the hill and valley arc fast
losing their Summer Iovliness, and the leaf is
scar and yellow.
Since last our cheeks were famed by the
cooling winds Of autumn, what cl,anre has
come over the domestic hearths Of many OF
us " hat dear domestic scenes have been
broken asunder-the hearts idol laid low in
the dust. and familiar faces been buried in the
"cold obstruction Of the tomb - The stran-
ger disease, whose track in the Oh World
was marked by grief and desolation. was
waited to our beloved shores. and its coming
was the signal for moaning sobs and crushed
hopes. Our goodly city was not exempt
from its ravdgeS.
For more than three months It's poisoned
shafts We're fixing their envenorned points in
the hearts Of thousandsi Sobbinr aud wall
ing was heard In the deserted streets. And
now, az the last signing Of the summer winds
are dying INTO an echo, the notes of wo and
sorrow are heard still in our city. Hearts be-
reit Of their ldols-a father weeping for the
. absent one'-a wife for the cheering smile
Of hlm who won her early love-a daughter
for that mother whose only fault was in the
kind Indulgence to this now beruaved child
the son, whose hopes have been stricken by
the sudden taking Off Of a kind father. 70
such as have felt the fatal touch of this terri
BILE disease, autumn has an uuwelconle sound.
The ripened fruit and golden grain viii be an
needed by these " sorrowinr ones" Their
hearts will hear no music In the i0rrnpyirrv
winds Of Heaven, as they tell man thar anoth-
er season has rolled awav--that another
" summer is ended'-that the cleaner for The
grave has been busy with friends and neigh
bors. No. no-they weep in silence for the
beloved objects that can never cheer them
again in this world. The autumn time has
come, and song and flowers have vanished -
