The Two State Conventions.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NJ Y. HERALD
SYRACUSE, Sept. IL, 1851.
II Is curious to observs how the whg convention Il
watching the democratic and the democratic the whg
and how the eaoers of 10 shaping their
cordngy Nor is 1t less amusing to witness the inten-
sty suspicion with which the members of each body
look upon their fellow members lest they should get an
advantage while both have sharp look out for the
common enemy.
Nothing will astonsh your readers than the de-
clarstion made to day In the whg Convention and ap-
plauded to the echo by its MEMBERS that neither silver
grayfm wooy headsm exists in that convention nsr
any where else This idea evidently borrowed from
the Democratic Convention, in which similar attempt
made to persuade the world and themselves that
there barnburners hunkers in their body but
that it consists Of simple democrats Both parties ad
journed this evening without doing any thing.
1t was rare piece of ingenuity by which the whiys
cut the gordan knot in the of the Ninth ward
ton in New York They received both delegates the
wooly heads sde the silver grays the other
should bolt-though they tell there long er s
erays wooly heads 10 the world Harmony is the
idea and has become absolutely Infectious The
thing will probably be- that there will be neither wings
d. mocrats in the United States but all will be ANAL
gaDated into one body of national harmonists Each
patty very mpaD Dtly waiting for the other to move
Ike OF while the harmOnizers
improving the interval to smooth over difficulties
The leaders of the woolly hsaos have promised the
silver grsys the nominations for Attorney General for
Daniel UmaD; OF State Prison Inspector for Mr. Wells;
of Judge Of the Court of Appeals for Samuel A. Foote
of st ate Treasurer for Senator Bond or MIR Bird
In the Democratic Convention, the bar burners to-
day yesterday, had all their own way as far
ss any hing was done They carried their man, Judge
WaieIbury for tire contested in the face of the a
tholy OF the General Committee aud all the testimony
and tley appointed their candidate permanent
Chairman in spite of every appeal to the genius OF har
moDy
The feeling very high. and the old hupkers de-
clined to act rs VicePresdens Messrs Murphy, Allen
and Brdsall, would not accept the office
Nearly all the New York deega alton declined to serve
on the Committee On RESOLUTIONS MIR. s. b. Cutting
was called for. He not there, but had authorized
ri.I 70 decline the Office for him. and he left for New
York in the evening Mr. Charles O'Conor then
mentioned but he had gone to New York last night it is
said. in disgust. Mr. West was next asked but hs re.
fpectfully declined. Hart and Daniel T.. sickles
also declined in turn. Then Mr l.. b. Shepard
a,ked ard declined Finally Mike Murray was asked
and Sc, med TO hei,ate ti John Van nren went over
to him and spoke some encouraging words Two OF the
country members next declined, and insly the commit
tee stood ten bsrnburners to six hunkers and some,
even Of the latter suspected.
The President seemed grestly embarrassed at the sig
nihcant doclinstion OF the New York delegates
III. ultra hunkcrs say that some Of the harmony men
have been bought Johu Van Buren, who very
busy outsider in the Convention for the last two
days.
Ihs New York delegates voted as follows -
tsr Er. Gornnor Bo.ek for Permsn.nf Chairman.-,
West. Daniel e. sskles, Joseph N. Marsh, Michael
.9e%lgT Bouek gnd fer General Hsissy'rnTreen,n
Norris Nelson j. Waterbury, John Cochrane, LORENZO B.
Shepard.
.9bsenf.-C Charles 0'Conor
Tc-monow The tug Of war commences.
The bsrnburners and modsrates have been good deal
frightened at the threats Of secession and they will make
the resolutions pretty strong but whether they will
10 the mark remains to be That they have
difficulty in shaping them Is evident from the delay
The old hunkers have separate set, which they will
propose in the event Of the others not meeting their
views II they fail i is probable they will retire in
body and leave the otheparty to themselves So much
harmony.
