And bear the palm hionef
DR. BRANDRETH was aRo there, man whose
ideas operate powerfully the Democracy gene
rally but near the close 1 thought missed him.
Judge BEARDsLEY, of Utica, was also there--
the above four az outsiders, but acting power
fully on the movements going on
In the Convention were men Of note. Indeed l
must say in candor that while few Of the Older
lights Of the party were In it, still it was quite
respectable body of men.
F.C. DINlKNY was President of the Convention.
He was moderate, and performed the duties well,
but
Judge LYMAN TREMAIN Of. Greene, the tempo.
rary Chairman, seemed to me aa ons OF the best
presiding officers have seen in q long time. Dig.
nifed, prompt and conciliatory, there would have
been no doubt of his election az permanent Pfesi-
dent but that he refused to have his name men-
toned in that respect.
G. O'CoNoR Of our City was OF oourae man Of
| Importance; bat after the frat day proceedings
the scepter departed from his side ofthe house. He
made an ur fortunate mistake in acknowledging the
"Apostolc Succession to be in the Free Soil or
ganizaton in Cayuga, Columbia, Cortland and
JeuerBOn, winch was dlItEWhEu oaSV e6aiuos h.A-9
by John Van Buren, and others. He claimed, how
ever, that the Hunkers, like Luther and other
Reiormers, had a right to rebel even against
"Auostolic Succession" when that became corrupt
This was more like decided opinion on the
Reformation than had expected to hear from Mr.
| O'Conor.
EDWARD SrRAHAN of New York City was de,
cidedly the ablest advocate in this Convention Of
| the Hunker aide. His speech against John Van
Buren, was very apt and able, aud had tho queS'
ton been taken without good speech on the Other
side, his admission might have been more in
| danger.
II. w. PEcKHAM OF Albany, whom John Van
Buren, defeated in the nomination for Attorney
Genera, and who keeps up the fight against John
with great bitterness; Ausburn Birdshll, closely
related by marriage to Sarator Dickinson, and
very bitter opponent of john Ira P. Barnes, who
made very good Clerk Obadiah Titus who was
put in the Chair with the understanding that he
would give the organization to the Barners bat
did ns f. Follett Of Genesee now Canal Com
missioner; ]. G. Damp, who in attempting to de
fend his claims TO scat from Jefferson against
MIR. sterbuck, absolutely .Rutked. as we used to
say in College-that ia, forgot what he had pre-
pared to say or failed to think his legs; e. Oar
win Smith of Rochester; Alderman Kelly IL. B.
Hart, &c. were among the prominent Hunkers
ISAIAH RYNDERs was truly prominent man
in the Convention, and waa quite a curiosity
among the Delegates from the " Rural Dstricts.',
He made several very happy hits during the S''.
iipga, and all he said VAS loudly cheered
JOHN VAN BUREN Of course stood at toe head OF
the Free Boilers. | think he is about the most
adroit manager | ever saw. With majority of
the Convention in amost deadly hostility to him,
with the brand Of diGtruss burned upon Els brow
by Tammany, ne twisted tho Convention as he
pleased compelled them to admit him and then
proclaimed that he had nothing &c retrac! and mo-
thing to apologize for; flung back the excuse tho
Chairman, Tremain, made for hin, declaring that
all he had said was true and came from his heart;
redsserted, as historical fact, that the Democratic
party cas dssolved--tod them that the Cas- party
in l848 had seeded from toe Democratic party,
bat rejoiced to see them repentant and returning!
Made the President (Dininny) na!Iy contradict
Peckham, who was attempting TO defend ths Chair
against an insult offered By John slenced oppo
sition By nod ard awed the younger brood Of
Munkers with shake Of his finger. In fact he
was the ruling spirit OF the Convention: and ous
OF materials gathered TO crush him built up for him

duct and such the triumph Of !hia scion of Linden

PETER CAeoEg Of Albany was also man
Of note in the Convention next to joan perhaps
the leading man Of that section. Ray ToaPKSs
of our City was also Of considerable power out
there were loud complaints against the way IN
which he got Geo. w. Anderson, Hunker 70 ap'
