manned until this morning at the house of
Mr.. Silas Smith, on Water street To-day, be-

passing along tho BERN bank of the Alexan-
dria Canal, opposite Analostan Island, he was
discovered suspended by the neck to the limb
of tree with rope, where, it is supposed he
committed suicide. The rope was identified
by Mr.. Smith as his, and it is supposed that
he clandestinely took it with him on leaving
the house this morning for the purpose of COM
hitting the rash act. Near the root of the
tree, there was found large knife, a Ratchet.
/ two coats, and q bundle Of clothing. AS no
examination, either Of his person, or effects,
had been made at the time We left, We could

Erie County IN. ~ Democratic Convention.
BUFFALO, August 31.-The Democratic
Convention of the Second Assembly Dis
trict, Erie county, met last evening to
elect delegates to the Syracuse Conven-
ton. Upon organizing it was evident

Office seeded, and organized separate
Convention.
Tremendous confusion prevailed conse-
qucnt on the attempt of custom house
delegate to read protest against the
action of the convention. A motion was
made to eject the member, and general
preparations for a fight took place. The
protest was, however, read amidst yells,
hootings and oaths.
The regular convention nominated
William A. Sutton, leader of the disaffect-
ed party, delegate to Syracuse, and Elijah
Ford (old hunker) substitute.
The seeding convention elected Lyman
B. Smith, custom House tbarnburner,
their delegate, and j. A. Verplanck, sub
stitute.
The regular convention passed Mr.. D.
B. Taylor's resolutions, and instructed
their delegates to 60 for new men III gen
eral, and George Cole, for State Engineer
