On motion OF Gen. Talmadgc, committee Of three was

lection was made, and spicy debate cnsucd Inc pro-
conservative doctrine had never been adherent OF
gammany, and II made no difference whether he had
swsys been WING or not, % long a. he was Known u

Dr. DoDcs, the Secretary said they had hard luck in
tho Fifteenth ward having elected DIR. Fierce Of
that ward an honorary member, who turned out 10
republican (Iaughter.)
motion was made TO suspend the rule requiring
unanimous consent 70 admit IN honorary member.
Al this time the Committee returned with Mr.. Ogden

aPxxcH or M. OGDEN.
Mr.. President and gentlemen OF the Wing Committee
arise return not only In the Of courtesy but
in the words Of sincerity my profound
for the honor you have conferred upon n have been
ever consistent wing, who sworved from path
that whg principles dictated If have been con,
sstent N maintaining the great doctrines Of the pary
:" have a6orsd for It's leaders, my CONSISTENCY
ing OF your favor, will say for mysef that do
perhaps ia some respects deserve tho mark Of respect
shown me by the Wbig Committee. (Appiause) Il was
my intention, Mr. Chairman but yesterday, have pre-
soneAmysef here, and after acknowledging the honor
reasons were theseI thought no great ooticai good
could be accomplished by the nomination.; thought our
purity hardly sufficiently srong to make successful
these things discussed with the men who have means
and money to aid our cause, they would have said che
act Knowing ALSO that the most essential part OF the
Dances OF our city depend tho legislative action of
those not yet elected, feared that Mayor opposed by
them would have little opportunity act 10 manner
either credtabe to himself for the interests Of the CITY,
But sir, found last evening the party at the
instance, hn Of my wing friends and aided by them,
as the nominee Of both parties shall accept
lSees will no. permit the enthusiasm Of
be disappointed BY my non acceptance, and therefore
freely and willingly accept your nomination. But Mr.
Char man. what V the Wing party9 Amid the checkered
scenes Of It's eventfu career aye sir and amid its fallen
forunss II has still maintained itself one of the pillars
OF the STATE II is true have its coors shronded
Its banners folded, but they were still there the ,ems
of our political principles Those coors have been
traied on the field, bowed to the foe. (Cheers.}
Mr. Chairman may I ask who are the American party,
that have also honored by endorsing your nomination.
They are party that sprang into existence almost in
moment from universal sympathy with their principles
and although their ideas were rather ultra des
tined that they should become mighty party. They
had nominated for Governor the gentleman who appears
upon me with the nomination proceeded TO Albany
and there recommended his nomination for Cover
nor by our party, in order to succeed as
the wing and American nomination Thus whig principles
may be maintained and established Arm and solid
Foundation mention these things only to show exactly
how far connected with that party now ask you
amid the dark and troubled night which seems 70 be
broodipg this country upon what ground you
hope for the continued peace Of this country unless be
upon those principles and doctrines which the whg party
has hitherto sustained Have not the dangers
which threatened country in every step Of
her progress been traced directly to the want Of
those doctrines and prncplesa And now ask how can
expect 10 make firm stand, 70 present bold a
10 gather einer 50 msnS votes Tor Sur 10
~ i'll this city powerful at least 10 principles aud form
ing nucleus around which be gathered the free and
conservative principles Of our country (Applause)
Then may call upon Of the South, aye, upon
men OF the East and the North-upen tho great
body of the American people-unfaering their ale
glance to the constitution, and ask them vote with
opposition to the principles OF the republican party
We invite all parties to with us, and this old
wing flame shall be the vasal fire TO burn
until the peace and safety and honor Of country shall
be maintained and assured. (Cheers) l am at ali
here warmly sincerely and boldly, as the candidate OF
the wing party for the oce Of Mayor. {rhree cheers
for 0gden)
Gen. TALIMApcE made few remarks in response to a
call He had looked TO their chairman (Mr. Kechup)
his political guide, who as always whg never repub-
hcan be either thank God. They had reached
crisis in which the wing party was TO be felt Tho repnb
ans had treated them discourteousiy and he would not
forgive them for that although they sorry for it
rally TINT Opdyke approved by the Americans; and
only the second column following contained the announce
ment OF Mr. Ogdens endorsement by the American party
(Applause and laughter
Hon. James Brooks who was present, as called upon,
but said he had nothing to say
SPEECH
The President, Nr. KErcHuM, had few words 10 offer
in regard to the late State election They had regarded
both the great political parties AZ sectional The course
Of the Americans in nominating candidates from both the
other parties was in bis view wise and adc'ors one;
in endorsing the Utica nominations had resulted
in showing that neither republicans democrats
had an actual majority in this State. (Applause.) He
denounced the Harpers Ferry naurreo<on and the at
tempt at the North TO get up sympathy for Brownsym
patty for the man VINO would put the stett0 to the
breast Of tho white and the torch TO his dwelling
What did it that the republican press in this city
and elsewhere were denouncing Virginia for executing
her laws upon the traitor The South had ample cause
for Alarm and IL unpatrioc and uuwise to treat their
fears with rdcuc and He would give the coored
all his legal rights, but when il came 10 contest be-
tween the black aud his he could very
quickly decide on his course. He believed Virginia would
be true to herself, and able to vndicatc her laws
and protect her property and her honor: lApplausel
principles should be invoked For this purpose it had
been wisely separated from the general State election
They had nothing TO do with John Brown national
politics they had enough to do to take Of the peace
the prosperity the interests Of this great metropolis While
they wings they should remember that they
also New Workers, He regretted that the
American party and this Convention had seen lit TO act
partisans On Wednesday last, coming from Illinois
mountains, with that sound old Statesman, Seuator
Cruenden Of Kentucky and almost the first question
he asked on their casual meeting was care you going
to permit Fernando Wood u be again Mayor or
the city OF New York; The eyes of the whole
country upon the metropolis When he read that
Havemcyer had been nominated and accepted no wiped
his spectacles, read again. and his heart throbbed with
joy, because he knew that Havemever was tried and
approved man and model Mayor. If Mr. Ogden was
candidate for Congress, for Collector Of the Port for
foreign minister there New York merchant whom
he would prefer but Havemcyer woaid make the best
Mayor. (tNo, no. and Kisses He had been tried;
had Fernando Wood, IN several ways (iaughtcr.)
