As win be observed, Judge selden ia the only per-
son upon whom both factions Of the democracy have
united The convention contained q large number
Of old and foxy politicians, and the struggle for
ascendancy was both fierce and protracted. There
were two antagonistc principles represented IN
nearly equal forcc-the principle Of free solism, and
the principle of devotion to the spols. The latter
peedominated somewhat and after along and brilliant
debate, participated in by Lorenzo B. Shepard, John
Cochrane and John Kelly on the side OF the admins
trationists and Gen. Nye MI. Jenkins Of Oneida, 1t
Gen. Sanford f. Church, and Mr.. Hunt OF Oneida,
on the side of the free sellers, and by Prince John

counts from the Crmea published in Liverpool on
the morning of the 18th ultthat the Russian army,
under Gen. Lprandi, after its defeat the 18th of

full retreat towards the interior. Gen. Monteycchio
or the Sandman army, was MORALLY wounded in the
combat. The completeness of the victory of the
allies may be estimated from the statement that four
thousand Russian prisoners were taken in the con-
hict. The Emperor Napoleon has regulated the

providing money enough can be raised to pay for
the expenses twenty-five thousand men will be sent

mand her attention.
