On Tuesday evening it was thought that the

doubtful whether any real organization could De

tee " OF course came in 10 maize all right. 1t was
agreed that an informal csucus should be held
and that Judge Titus of Duchess should be Chair
man Of that CaucuE This was accordingly moved
by Peter Csgger, with the understanding that
Committee should be appointed who would nom
mate Judge Belts Of Orange for temporary CHAR
man. Here, however, TIE Burners were f10g' tor
Judge Trenain was recommended. "S:ryksFs
Committee however, cana in and said that If the
Runners made no opposition, Judge Tremaln would

mar. but that he afterw&rd changed thai COMMITTEE
and eaye the preponderance to the Hunkers. Not
only tbig bus the Committees the different con-
seated geatg, we're composed of three HunkerS and
two BurDeys This was the state OF the case when
the Convention after two seasions, adjourned till
liz tho evening on w Wednesday. This evening SEES
sion was taken up chiefly with the I'd Jefferson
District Gaze Mr. Conor, Chairman the Apos-
soic succe,aon " Barnburnera being defeated by a
vote of 50 to 81, and upon this the Convention ad.
ourned till Thursday morning at o'clock.
During that evening everything bade fair for q
fight, and The Burners made no secret Of their de-
termination to have row. The Hunkers were
scared, snd "Stryker's Committee again took
hold Next morning the vote was reoonaidered'
and both Delegates were admitted from the CON
tested Rural Districts Harmony was partially
restored, and in the happy union four twns were
born into the Convention, ca one giving half q
vote the two halves being added made nothing
In the meantime the Van Buren Committee had
been in session all Wednesday evening (aitting
five or sx hours,l and had decided unanimously
{Dninny Chairman and two other Hunkers to two
Burners-Byers of Ss. Lawrence, and Frost Of
Westchester,) that Tammany Hall should retrace
iss steps, and that John Van Buren, ehoud be ad
misted. John says he carried Tammany Hall up
from County Court to the Court of Appeals, and
there won bis CASEY After a good dinner Thurs.
day, the second day Of tho Convention and the fifth
session since it assembled John Van Buren,,
notwithstanding the opposition Of Tsmmany
and the eloquent remembrance Of Mr. Strs
han, was admitted by the large vote Of 96 to 81,
the Noes being mostly from New York City.
The only thing now remaining to be done was to
arrange the committees resolutions aud urgunl-
cation and the only thing the Barnburnera hoped,
being minority, waa that the committee on reso-
lutions should not pass compliments TO Senator
Dickinson, and that the committee on organization
should neither have o Hunker chairman nor &
Hunkot majority. The Burners say that the chair
Hupkere and eight rather alack Free soilers which
was drawn up by Mr.. Croswel; but John Van
Buren, stepped up to the chair and dictated the
names OF the FREQ Sellers on that committee The
aecl ct movements in that committee were highly
exciting, DR.. Walters being wide awake, got the
start in naming w. II. Havemeyer, as the Free
soiler from the frat judicial Distriot His name
being first according to usage, he was to be chair
man. and upon this question violent exhibition
came of in committee room, in which q Hunke or
and Burner squared oil at each other, giving the
other members as much to do as they could to keep
them from annihiasing each other. 1t was finally
agreed that the understanding should be, that no
one was meant to be designated as chairman the
Burner secretary, however, refusing 20 aign the
report because the bunker chairman, (Strahan)
had inserted this "proviso,' The Burners had
here so clearly got the advantage of the Huukers,
ahat the latter endeavored to retrieve their for
tunes by moving that W. L. Marcy DO appointed
chairman. The Hunkers, however, dared not carry
this to a vote and 80, though twice moved, ii was
swioe withdrawn and the Barnburnera triumphed.
The proceedings in the committee on resolutions
were interesting aud protraotsd. From the report
of the committee one might suppose all was har
nlony but 10. 40 Che committee had been packed

Both members of the committee from the frat Ju-
dcial District, (OConor and Curtis were Hunk
