THE AETINEBRAsKA STATE CONVENTION held
last week at Saratoga Springs has gwen greater sas
faction to its friends and excited more chagrn among
is adverssres than any other Political movement oil
our day. Those adyersares have no cloak Tor ther
modification but falsehOod, and are making very
prodigal use of that All their stories about the Con
yenton breaking up in row, splitting in two &c.'
are simple naked fsbrcations-nOta word Of truth in
them. Belonging TO four or FIVE diverse, antagonist
psrties-Whigs. Abotionists, Softs aud Hsrds-it
would not have been singular if the Delegates had
differed so widely as to divide; but they did not.
So far from being " Seward or WooDy' affair as
has been asserted, the mover of it, organization
and Chairman Of its Nominating Committee was
JOSEPH BLUNT, Wing in all weathers who has
been strongly suspected of NatiEism but never of
Sewardism Its President was Democrat OF the
species termed Soft; its most persistent and IRE
ouept debater was Gen. BILLIARD a 'Hard;' the
Rev. DoLPHUs SKINNER, another Adsmantne,'
was most influential in its c0unci and he two most
effective speeches in favor OF the course ultimately
taken were those Of the Hon. PRESTON KING.
Democrat, and the Hon. J.. d. CULVER, Whig.
both of whom helped to construct and then stood
upon the Buffalo Platform of l6is. There were
many Democrats aAd Free-SOilers who wished to
nominate State Ticket of-hand; there were
perhaps as many Wings who preferred not
TO nominate at all but leave each AnNebrasks voter
TO support that ticket whose views should accord
most nearly with his own convictions; but the mid
die course of adournipg for six weeks. then reas-
sembling at Auburn and presenting State ticket
was finally resolved on with very general unaniInity.
OF the Delegates present, representing all the Coun-
ties in the State but three four not seeded
from the Convention evinced any desire so to do
OF the four or FIVE hundred Delegates who attended
less than twenty went away dissatisfied, while large
majority even of those who had urged an immediate
nomination went away satisfied taat the best possible
course had been taken And We have no doubt that
if either and but one of the great parties shall, at
its State Convention ust at hand affirm the prncl-
pies set forth by the Saratoga Convention and nomi-
nate candidates to match, then those candidates
will be adopted by the adjourned Anti-Nebraska
Conventions if more than one party should act thus
wisely then the AntNebraska voters will be asked
TO choose between the candidates of these parties
according to their several preferences aud II neither
shall pay this Difference to pablo sentiment then an
independent ticket will be framed at Auburn, and
vigorously supported by all who love Liberty more
than Party Is not this right How can it be justly
said to favor one party more than another
The talk of this or that journal, which favored the
call of the Saratcga Convention repudiating its ac-
tion is sheer CANNON. The journals quoted as doing
so were once Barnburner, but sold their principles
for spoils long ago, and looking sharply for
their pay The doings of the Convention are to these
at once a reminder of their rccresncy and warning
that it is likely to be shorn of its coveted reward and
that they should therefore and call vile names is
as natural as life; bat this instead Of proving the
Convention failure, proves exactly the reverse. The
Guiterers are badly hit; let them take counsel of
prudence and keep as quiet as they can.
