FROM AN OCCASIONAL coRREsposDEVr

New YoRK, SEPTEMBER Is, 1853
A temporary absence has suspended my CORE
spondence for longer interval than usual
Before this reaches you you will be aware of the
result OF the Democratic Convention at Syracuse, or
rather Conventions for it resulted in complete d.
vision, each faction taking separate action and nom
mating separate tickets. That you may know what
the two factions think and say of each other give
you the following extract from the Syracuse CORE
spondence OF the New York Evening Post, the
Barnburner organ in this city:
/ "The Democratic party of the State is once more
der the rule OF divided organization. The steamboat
and bbng section have long found their association with
the radical portion of the party rsone and have sought
various pretexs from time to time, to break with them
They nave finally determined to break without any pre-

the Globe Hotelthey could not have selected filter

themselves under the presidency of Minor

credntals OF most Of their delegates, will be forgery

For the sake of peace many Democrats have hest

him accordingly.
eff that shall be the result Of this Convention it is of
comparatively trng importance whether the State elect

party lay the foundation of much substantial
and permanent than could hope for from any
convention whose deliberations should prove satisfactory
such Croswe and Story and that class of
lures who have been SO auspicousy sloughed Oh from
our organization"
If the Wings have common sense they will take
advantage of this bitter and irreconcileable quar-
rel, dismiss their own pickering, and unite in solid
phalanx, by doing which they would secure the
whole State in the most triumphant But there
is faction here which is determined to rule ruin
and they do the former they will the latter
and all the great advantages which the Wing party might
realize by concord and unity of action will probably
be lost

good for saying that he himself regretted within

Kossuth and the crusade he preaching against the

nations and foreign relations No people in the world
would fare up exhibit greater indignation than
