Gessrs Smith and Sutton united in the regular
and by consent the lstter cast the vote of the
district
It will thus appear that Mr.. Skinner was duly
elected temporary Chairman by decided majority
Of the uncon'ested delegates of the Convention, and
that the subsequent proceedings by which Mr. Grant
was made President, and the ticket headed by Ro-
bert Kelly, for Comptroller, nominated, were in all
respects regular and authoritative and the record
shows that sixty-eight delegates, who were uncOn-
tested acted in the Convention OF which MIR: Grant
was Chairman There were thirty one delegates
present whose seats wcre every reason to be-
Eeve. wrongfuly contested, with view to ultimate
secessit n, making the whole number OF delegate,
regularly elected and acting together, ninety nine,
leaving twenty nine secederS out Of the full number
The refusal, as hereinbefore stated, of minority
of delegates to return to the Convention after the re-
cess, under circumstances revealing so much bad
faith and such fasity Of prctence, was the consum
nation of conspiracy long formed to break down
the democratic party in the State, and to reiustal
the dynasty of Sewardism, and by. swerying New
York from her place in the national democracy, t.
strike the first blow ut the administration OF Frank
lin Pierce. The evidence of such combination on
the part Of certain protesting democrats with the
leaders of the most unscrupuOus section OF the whig
party, had been made manifest in the course Of le
gislation, and in the action upon appointments at
Albany last winter and it was distinctly traceablc in
the conduct and tone of the two organs OF the
bination, the Albany argus and the Albany Evcn,ng
Journal, nomiDally antagonishc sheets, acting IN
concert, and stimulated by motives OF common inte-
rest to destroy the ascendancy of democratic gov.
eminent, both in the State and national adminisra
tiOns.
Against such conspiracy, revealing itself under
such fimsy dsgnises, and pretexts of suca transpa
rent falsity we invoke the democracy to put forth
all their accustomed energy. Trcachery in disguise
has sometimes temporarily perilled the democratic
party. Open treason has always been impotent
against it. It's purpose now can be defeated and
punished, il the untcrrihed democracy Of the En-
prc State but put forth their hands to crush It, The
factous politicians who have presented ticket in
opposition to the democracy have, to great extent,
for many years past given aid and comfort to, or
directly voted for the whig ticket. Their separate
organizations Withdrawing from them that recourse,
will probably not much disturb the proportions of
parties, while it will enable the democracy OF the
nation to see how uncomfortable in numbers and
how desperate in fortunes are the men who at this
day in the midst Of universal democratic success
throuc hout the Unon raise here the cry of disaec-
ton and set up standard Of dsuuion.
