EE Politics in New York State

Ct Politics in New York State are ir
a very unsettled condition. and we find
much difficulty in ascertaining the identity
and movements Of parties. A State Con
venlion has been called by tie Repubi.
can or ami slavery fusion party, to be
held at Syracuse on the 22d of August
The samesday and place have been fixed
upon for the assembIare Of a sort Of indie
pendent Democratic s ate Convention, Re.
CONNIE nled BY meeting Of Van Buren,
polite ans bell lately Il Hudson The
purpose announced Is tho reunion or the
Democratic party on first principles, but
tie singular coincidence OF time AMI place
suggest the idea that il is far The purpose
Of eftc ing fusion with the Seward Re
publican party upon an antt.slavery plat-
form. Considerable discussion has been
gong on IN the wspapers OF tie State
IN reference 10 such fusion, and il has
been generally believed that the leading
members Of the old Van Buren party were
decidedly in favor of the movement. As
counterbalance TO this, il is pretty gen
orally understood that he Hard Shell, or
National Democrats, will unite with the
American, or Know Nothing parv. II
these movements be correctly reported
there VIII be great contest in New
York State this fall on tie slavery qfts
ton. II may be asked whaf wilt become
OF the Administration parry :? To this the
answer is plain, that the administration
has not much Of party in New \ otk
except by the sutlerance Of The local lead
ers. The Hards are all eslranged from it..
and the anti slavery branch Of the Demo
cratic party IS entirely under the control
OF its Van Buren, leaders. The patronage
oil the Administration may be sufficient
to rally the Office holders and their friends:
but II The Barnburners can secure posses
sion OF some Of the State Offices by a fu
sion with the Seward interests, such an
event is not at all unlikely. especially in
view Of the pending excitement on the
slavery question. The terms Wing and

GREAT Days WORK.-We learn from the

last, eight thousand four hundred and dve
tons OF coal in ,736 cars were weighed on one
OF Fairbank' 3 Track Scales in use by the Mine
one thoussn tons more than was ever weighed
in single day before. About one.third Of
the time was not occupied, which would give
the capacity Of the scales for 3 constant davis
work at about twelve thousand tons. The
scale is about the longest ever made by the
Messrs. Fairbanks, and probably the Ion gcst
IN the world, it being one hundred and twelve
feet longer than an ordinary " city lot" and

TIE Philadelphia Convention

New YORK, June 18th The Tribune and
Herald have the majority and minority reso
iuiions Of the Know Nothing Platform Com
mltsee. The former according to the Tri-
tune) declares that the American party srs
not responsible for past legif alton, but that 1t
10 the imperative duty Of Americans to inter.
pose for the purpose Of giving peace to ths
country, aud perpetuity to the Union A.,
there is no dishonor In submitting to laws. ,he
National Council deems it the best guarantee
for peace to abide by the existing laws.
The second resolution declares that Congress
has no right to Iegislate upon slavery, or to
exclude any slave State from admission int)
the Union; and interference with the exist
elce of slavery in the District or Territories
would be viola ion Of the compact by which
Maryland ceded the District of Columbia TO
the United States, and breach Of national
faith.
The minority resolution declares the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise an infraotion
of the plighted faith, and that il should be re-
stored; and il that fail, then Congress should
refuse to admit any State tolerating slavery,
which shall be formed out Of any portion Of
territory from which slavery was excluded by
that compromise.
