H. Anthem, Esq acting as chairman, and y. T.. Mar
tindale secretary.
| Considerable confusion was caused at the con-
mercement Of the meeting by the turbulent conduc.
| Of a few faetionists who claimed to have assembled
in pursuance OF bogus ear utterly unssneaong@ oy
persoss 10 the number Of ten or twelve. claimed 10
have elected DR.. Harrison as chairman OF toe meeting:
| The regular chairman however, took his place ana
| conducted TIE business OF the meeting.
| Mr.. Lott G. Clark moved that the meeting proceed
| at once to make nominations, which motion Yves
strongly opposed the ground that the true wings Of
the county bad already appointed large cominittes
for that purpose COMPOSED according to the ancient
usage Of the party, of three fr' Zach town. aud that
the motion ade by Mr.. Clark was hrebrsnd thrown
among the Wing ranks and that It's rtan effect, II
passed would be TO give the countytO the Democrats.
The vote was taken, and the motion was lost by an
Overw lining majority.
After the vote had been taken and the result an
nounced severa Of the faeti0Hsts endeav0rod 70 renew
tie motion ia the same terms, which the chaimau
very properly decided TO be out Of order; aud long
discussion ensued upon the point the meeting siding
with the chairman throughout, and sustaining his de-
cisionp resolution then offered 10 the effect
that those who oppo sed TO tae action Of the Wing
convention at Syracuse shouk leave the room, which
was carried mem. con. The " bone and snew" Of the
nary opened their ranks and the arstocrac seceders
and fa,onis.s 10 the number Of corporaPs guard or
hereabou,s psssed out amid the laundering acclama-
tons Of the en- tire meeting.
The seceders retired 10 private room In another part
CT the village where they held meeting with closed
doors and sentnels watch, practice In perfect
codaI with the rules OF those midnight assOci stons
from which the greater part Of the seceders said 10
hail, but utterly repudiated by the honest Wing
yeomtnry Of the county. What said and what
was done 10 this secret and ought 10 DO Of
little interest 10 anybody
After the fectonsts had retired, the meeting with
tire unanimty proceeded to pass resolutions ndors
ing tie proceedings Of the Syracuse convention aud
p!edging Themselves 10 the support of the nominating
committee appointed TIE previous evening. Reso-
lGtions we're also adopted conccmnatory OF the fac
