Il WI be reoollected that q mass State Conven-

election, in November. and was called " demo-
cratic" council of the young men. 1t was called by
TIE Union Club of the city Of New York. who select
ed the place Of meeting In honor of Horatio Seymour
whe was then the popular candidate for Governor.
The asssmblage was large, spirited and enthusiastic,
and its efforts no doubt contributed largely towards
the large majority for that then popular nominee,
thoagh an undercurrent set in, which had the
means of electing wing Congressman at the same
time The democrat upon the same ticket with
Seymour was shamefully defeated, not withstandipg
the wing vote WAS divided between two of their
own men. George W. Clinton, of Buffalo, was
the able President of that democratic council.
A gentleman named Dillaye, took, or rather
assumed, q leading position during the day ;

laye kept in his pocket during the afternoon, aud
without handing it to Mr.. Clinton on the stage, as
he was directed to dog, it found that the name

Miller was substituted, as the member Of the COM
mittee representing the Twentieth Congressional
district. This produced quite a hubbub. A
large majority OF the committee expressed
themselves in indignant terms at the erasure

Of another name The fact at length became dis
closed, that the reason why Mr. Milers name was
inserted, was because certain OF the Utica regency
declared that he was more reliable friend OF Hora-
teman was the editor OF the leading democratic old
bunker paper in the city Of Utica, and in truth of
Central New York. The friends of Mr.. Lyon con-
tended that as Seymour was " bunker and nothing
else,n the paper, over whose columns Mr.. L. had
cuntrol, must, under every party obligation, give
the ticket its unqualified support. Mr.. Clinton, as
president Of the day, was finally appealed to- as the
poWer was in his hands to make selection, who
Immediately appointed Mr.. Lyon.
That was the last heard OF this executive COM
nittee" and as 1t was never organized appointed no
o6acers empowered no ono 70 call them together,
they were entirely forgotten; and every person be-
leved that their existence passed OF with the cleo

was great mistake in this matter, for on the 27th

Well, the time arrived; come thirteen or fourteen
members in sttendance;-no quorum. What vas to

q minority had no power to act, and their
doings would not be legitimateiy regarded
BY the party outside. Diliaye assumed the

Mr.. George j. Gallagher or Daniel Il. Tay Tor should

protesting most earnestly, as they were fishing for
ioty of the votes finally yielded, and took the chair
for the purpose OF organization. Mr.. Lyon, who was
opposed in November last as not being good
enough Seymour man, was unanimously elected
secretary. Perhaps he has repented since-pernaps
not. There being no quorum Of the regulars, the
next difficulty was in admitting sufficient number
Of outsiders. This vas speedily DONE and commit

gstiBg Of French OF New York, Cutting Of Buffalo,
Taylor Of New York, Benton of He-kmer,
and Clark Of Montgomery-three adamantines and
two burners. Samuel Fowler of Orange was chosen
Chairman Mr.. Lyon, of Utica, and Mr.. Parmenter.
Of Troy, Secretaries. Coruele Bogardus instantly
spraDg to his feet end made motion appointing
Committee on Resolutions. Carried Dllaye wanted
separate committee to report an address; but
several others believed the harmony OF the party
might be disturbed by a multitude Of hgh-sounding
words, at this particular jun ture Considerable dis
cusson ensued. 1t advised to refer the subject
to the Committee on Resolutions. But when Dan
Taylor made D'laye acknowledge that he had an adj
dress prepared in his pocket which might spoil, if
not brought out, the committee became convinced,
by very sensible speech from Capt. Rynders, that
the address should De presented, and committee
was accordingly raised
After dinner, Mr.. Bogardus reported his resolu-
tons. They comprised those adopted by the
puted State committees as presented by Mr.. Birds

pilaton to no less distinguished mind than Daniel

Sausham, Starouck and Parmenter preferred the
substitutes. The question being taken, the first
resolution, as offered by Mr. Bogardus, was adopted
by decided majority.
Then the question came up upon the second reso-
