New York. Thursday, September Q, 1854.
The News.
The returns thus far reserved from the election
which took place in Vermont on Tuesday, indicate
considerable change in the state Of parties there.
While the wings have, as hitherto, elected their
Governor by large majority, the democratic vote
10 greatly increased that party having made extern
Eve inroads in the free soil ranks. There has also
been change so far as known, os two or three re-
seen4atives in the State Legislature in favor Of the
aenoerats. With regard to the Congressman, it is
pretty certain that two wings have been elected but
To other is somewhat doubtful.
On reference to the proceedings Of the Massachu-
sstts Democratic State Convention, it will be seen
that there has been regular split in the ranks
that the national democrats, who were greatly in
The minority, have drawn of from the coalitonists,
and resolved to have nothing to do with them.
The eoalitionists animated Henry W. Bishop for
Governor, James b. Thompson for Lieutenant Cover
Ber, and C. G. Greene and s. w. Whitney, for
Presidential electors. The hunkers, who had with.
drawn from the main body, organized, and adopted
resolutions to the effect that coalition with free
soilers is inconsistent with principles of democracy,
and that the previous coalition had been fruitful
Of evil to the party, the democrats OF the State
should repudiate all such unnatural connections.
Tho action the regular convention was denounced,
snd committee was appointed to call for conven-
ton Of the true democracy, if deemed expedient.
Here's pretty fare-up Well, the free sellers
create trouble and confusion wherever they go.
II is almost unnecessary to direct the attention of
The reader to the proceedings of the Women's
Rights Convention at Syracuse, given under the
ts3egnphic head. The curious transactions Of this
extraordinary body will probably be more generally
read than those of almost any other assemblage OF
persons, whether they be politicians, moral re-
formers, socialists, philosophers, rappers. These
women, who have thus boldly thrown eff the con-
vsntional usages of society, arc determined, among
other things, to exercise an influence upon the
ssniBg Presidential contest; and it is not impro.
bable that they WILL 20 some extent, effect their
object It is understood that 9 disposition is mani
Tested, among some Of them, to deoare in favor of
Scott, but Gerrit Smith, who happens to be one Of
their Vice Presidents, is opposed to this and will
exert himself to thwart the intentions ofthe Seward
ties, and prevail upon the body to come out for
Hale and Julien. Issues of every description have
sprung up and been arranged in all the parties Of
the day, but this one among the women with regard
% Scott promises to lead to inconsiderable ex-
element in the ranks of the advocates Of female
nights. Read tho report-it is rather rich.
Last night the whig "unionists - held a meeting
.. the Broadway House, which was addressed by
hon. Presley Ewing and other gentlemen, in favor
Of the Presidential nominations Of the party. They
are frightened at the great apathy which prevails
N sho whig camp, and seem puzzled Every exor-
ton wac made to get up some enthusiasm
More sprit and enthusiasm seems to prevail
snsng the wings of Ohio than In this State. The
tels graph reports tina. a very large mass meeting
held at Columbus, yesterday, at which specches
were made in favor of protection to home industry,
river and haxbor improvements, &c. This sounds
IKE the old party talk.
We elsewhere publish the proceedings Of mass
convection Of the free democracy, or Hale party, at
Ann HarbSr, Michigan, by which it wiz be seen
that the free solers that State are concentrating
their forces, raising financial means, establishing
newspaper organs; and otherwise doing all they can
20 make them selves felt in the ensuing campaign.
JosAua r. Giddinss, Sam Lewis, and Others, ad-
dressed the assemblage, and resoluti .ns, ra.ify-
ing the nominations of Hale and Julien, rejoicing
at he escape Of every slave from his master, &C.,
rere unanimously adopted.
The free soilers yesterday, held County Conven-
tion at Pittsburg, and nominated candidates for
AUnkfcsb, uhc Dsist lFSiSAhtuIe, Hno Sner1u. HosO
ntions were adopted approving Of the nomination Of

Eenate for not passing the Free Farm bill, and
iayoriDg the Maine Liquor law.
There is said to have been large attendance at
the Ohio State Convention Of Negroes, at Cleveland
yesterday. They arc to have grand jubilee to-
day This will hereafter be noted as the year of
conventions.
A FIRE at Norwich, Conn, yesterday afternoon,
destroyed property to the value of $4,000.
Prom Utica we learn that the State Fair, which
opened yesterday, is fully equal to any previous
hibitioD of the kind. The spirit Of rivalry which
has within the last half century sprung up amcng
She different classes Of manufacturers in this coun
try has had the effect Of bringing out an incalcua~
Die amount Of mechanical skill that would other
wise have lain dormant and never been Of any
benefit TO the public in general.
A despatch from Charleston announces that the
yellow fever has made it's appearance in thai city,
BY telegraph, we have account OF the execu-
zion Of negro for the murder Of q white man, at
Delawa Q. The poor fellow acknow-
lsdgea his guilt, and hoped to be forgiven by the
Judge Of all things.
The investigation into the sad affair Of the Rein
ascr steamer is concluded, and our latest accounts,
In this days issue, give the melancholy result Of
lAir,y persons dead and sixteen others injured,
Ne recovery of some two or three ofwhom is al
nos. hopeless. The verdict in Ulster county, which
70 pabli,hed yesterday, was, doubtless, strictly
AseerdiDg to evidence Its pretty clear tina; much
asisy has prevailed In the important matter Of In
