We think witnessed so complete tri-
umph of small minority of men over large ma
jority, achieved by the bunker wing of the
Democratic party, the liberal section in the dem
ocratic State Convention. In the early part Of the
day, it was clear enough that the hunkers were
outnumbered more than two TO one, and SO satisfied
were they of this, that we heard quite number
declare that the convention was regular free soil
and not democratic convention The majority of
the convention carried through some measures in
spite Of the most violent opposition; but when it
came to the passage Of the resolutions, they
were compelled to surrender TO the superior tao

ever, as will prove worse than any defeat TO the
bunker division of the party for the country delegates
were enabled to see by what an uuprnciped and
dishonest faction they have been controlled. The
counterfeit resolutions which Ben Hallett undertook
to force, by the grossest deception, down the hroats
of the delegates, have opened the eyes of hundreds
OF honest-mnded men of the democratic party, to
the blackness Of his turpitude and the meanness Of
those who act with him. We were glad to Sc our
