"A correspondent of the New York Herald thus
writes:
There was sharp contest the nomination of
Attorney General. Mr. Ullman was strongly sup
ported by some of the New York delegation. He
opposed by Mr.. Taylor of New York, who put
Ogden Hoffman in nomination During the contro-
Versy there considerable confusion, but the
President got order after calling for it three or four
times.
Mr.. Hoffman was nominated on the third ballot
but the motion to make it unanimous unsuccess
full. Mr. Ullman was defeated through Mr.. Weeds
personal efforts.
Excepting this episode, the Convention was har-
monous.
The nomination of the ticket occupied three hours
There a sharp debate the question of ap-
pointing committee resolutions, which was final
ly settled in the affirmative.
The ticket is all of the Seward stripe, except Mr..
Hoffman The silver greys indignant, and say
they hope the Sewardtes will have good time elect
ing it.
The following is the aohole of the platform :" a
dopted by the Convention;
ReSolced, That the speedy enlargement of the Erie
Canal and the completion of the material lateral ca
nails is a wing measure now as it has always been.
That pledge to the amendments of the constitu-
tion so honorably carried through by the aid of in
dependent and patriotic democrats cordial sup
port, and hail with satisfaction the prospect of
speedy conclusion under wing management, SO ne
cessary to the greatness and prosperity of our State
Res0lred, That the State ticket nominated by this
convention is worthy of the support of every eector
of the State, and that we will elect it.
The action of the Sewardtes fully realizes the pre-
diction of the n. Y. Herald's correspondent that
"the Wings are bound to bend all their energies to-
ward the object the securing of the State pat
ronage for the ensuing year They will adopt the
canal enlargement policy whole, and shirk from all
plativ tO he q
Sewardtes still swear that the slave is g a man
and brother" and the silver grays can go on saw
ing the Union and elect the ticket at the time.
Is not this charming prospect? Why, it even makes
Syracuse brighten up, and if we only had Badiali
here to sing Vi RAvvIso, everything would be
right. 1 expect to hear Thurlow Weed, however,
break out with
"Ah don't mngle one Tnegro] feeling
With the bliss this heart reveaing!
Love- harmony, concord, and reconciliation are beau
tfu things, and the psalmist has told how charm
ing it is to brothers who never break each others
heads, but who " dwell in unity. Let us hope that
it will be harmonious tomorrow. The silver grays
are generally so meek, and the Seward men good
natured, that have the highest hopes"
The Wings of New York have, in this cowardly
and disgracefu manner, utterly shirked the compro
mise measures the fugtveslave law and other great
questions-well aware that if the subject had been
touched they would have been found arrayed against
the public sentiment of the country. The Seward
men, who composed nineteen twentiths of the Con-
vention-have managed things most cunningly under
the lead of their crafty leader w. H. Seward. The
handful of poor Silver Grays have been submits
sive as sheep, under the rod of Greedy, who many
days since addressed to them the following language
"Now let those who may happen to find them
selves in the Wing State Convention this week mi
nority on any vital proposition, initiate the Demo
cratic example. Let them not go home grumbling
and conspirng, but pluck up courage and bolt. That
is the short plump, honest way settle difference
of principle; it ends dispute quicker, and leaves
the diSputantS in better shape than any other"
Richmond Enquirer.
Both wings of the New York Democracy, it will
be remembered, adopted sound Resolutions the
slavery question.
Greedy appears to be delighted with the action of
the late Wing Convention at Syracuse.
LIBERATION KosTA. We were not wrong yes
terday, find, in surmising that the visit of the
Austrian Minister to Mr.. Marcy at Albany related to
the disposal of the Kosta case. We now learn that
the Austrian Government, about month ago,
scented to the liberation of Kosta, condition that
he should be put board of an American vessel and
return directly to the United States; and the Austri
an Minister at Constantnople instructed to COM
municate this determination to the American Minis
ter Mr.. Marsh. This consent to the release of Kos
ia was given, understand, in consequence of the
recovery of the Hungarian regala, related in
last Paris letter and in the French papers, 1t ap-
pears that as Kosta was of Kossuths party when
the Hungarian crown, &C., taken from Buda, it
supposed that he could give information of the
recovery and this we learn the motive, or
of the motives which induced his seizure at Smyrna
About the last of August the missing regalia were
discovered, readers already informed near
Orsova, just without the Hungarian border which
Kossuth first fed The recovery of the crown and
Jewels together with the necessity of relieving the
French Consul General from the disagreeable engage
nent to- keep Kosta, induced the Austrian Govern
ment to consent to his release, the condition sta
ted above. We see it further mentioned, in the New
York Herald, that in consentng to this arrangement
the Austrian Government preserves the right of con-
sidering Kosta Austrian subject if he shall re-
turn to Turkey, $50 long he shall not be Invested
of his native nationality in regular and lawful way"

DEPARTURE SECRETARY DoBBIN. The Hon. Sec
rotary of the Navy left Thursday morning for New
York, in company with Captain Magruder, United
States navy. In notice of yesterday we omitted
to say that the Secretary in addition visiting the
marine station and yard also inspected the Ma
val Asylum with the whole economy of which he
expressed himself highly gratiied. He was received
at this institution by Commander Geissinger who is
at present its head and director and most able and
efficient one he has proven in all particulars. Mr.
Dobbin leaves city with the most cordial feeling
ofits Inhabitants especially of those who are bene
fitted by his liberal policy with regard to this dock
yard. At time in the history ofthis naval station
have there been vessels here than at present
and the busy and animated hum of preparation for
commencing operations is to be heard on all sides
This is certainly most gratifying fact for the me-
chanics of our city and county, and the navy will
feel the benefit of their skill and industry We
