no immediate addition to the members outside.
"Shortly after this little episode there was
| general break up and q rush down stairs.
| They re-assembled this morning at o'clock
| to complete the nomination-though it is
| doubtful If quorum will be in attendance.
They swore awfully ia Flanders-they swore
awfully in Odd Fellows Hall, all the day long
yesterday-from which all inference is drawn
that the utmost harmony does not prevail in
the council of order This may be part OF
| the DRAMA played for the benefit of the out
siders-but it seemed very like jolly good
row.
"Mr. Ullman's friends may congratulate him
on having, at last, achieved nomination"
The Tribune says that Mr.. Ullman is Silver
Gray Wing, lawyer of fine talents and wide
political experience. II also says:
at is settled, we understand, that James w.
Barker, who is chief cook of the order, shall be
the Know nothing" candidate for mayor Of
our city. Neighbor Brewer, though he hated
Governor Seward with all his might, couldn't
quite come it.
&c. w. Andrews, formerly clergyman at
the Tabernacle, since Castle Garden and
legislature, and now lawyer ofthis city, is put
of the XVIII ward"
The Express reports as follows,
"Daniel Ullman, of New York, for governor.
"Horatio G. Seymour, jr, Of Buffalo, for lieu
tenant governor"
The editors of the Erpress append to this
ticket the following note:
"This Know-nothing action is making un-
certain what was certain a few days ago, in the
State ticket. A political sky yesterday clear,
| to-day cloudy"
The New York Mirror under the caption oil
Another Richmond in the field, says:
"Ifw we may believe the rumors of some OF
some ofthe morning papers, the Know-nothings,
who have been holding secret councils in this
city for day or two, have named that inveter-
ate and persevering office-seeker, Daniel Ull.
man, as q candidate for governor. IF so, we
think our American friends have made grand
mistake. Mr.. Ullman is not the man to be
made the official head of the Empire State
He is lawyer, of more profession than prac
tice, and ranks somewhere among the third
rate or fourth rate members Of the New York
bar; and for the last ten years his name has
been constantly before the public as a candi
date for some ofice-asking for the highest,
but evidently willing to accept the humblest
In all of these miscellaneous endeavors, Mr..
Ullman has been uniformly unsuccessful. True,
he has acted with the Silver Grey wing of the
Wing party; and so far we should prefer him
to Clark but with SO able man in the field
as Chief Justice Bronson, we regard it as the
duty of all good citizens to ignore all party con-
siderations and vote for the man lest qualified
to discharge the duties of the gubernatorial
office. We are sorry to differ with our Ameri-
can friends; but in the honest exercise of our
independent, individual judgment, we must vote
for Bronson in preference to any candidate yet
before the public. Personally, we should pre-
fer Seymour, who is an able, and an honest
man; but higher considerations compel the
decision we have made"
