The choice Of delegates 10 the different districts to the
Democratic State Convention at syracuse which will be
held ON The 18th proxmo turns nearly everywhere upon
the cortoverted points whether the state Convention shall
appoint the delegates to the National Convention at
Charleston whether they sba be elected in the life
rent Congressional districts by the people. Correct de-
mocrstc theory would undoubtedly incucate that the
dissrcts should be permitted to elect their men, but
te so shel faction srenuously opposed to any var
spee from past practice, and plead for settling the whole
question In q less recommendsbe way.
It's known that Mr.. Fernando Wood went TO Albany,
the 81 inst prepared to make decided stand In favor
Of the district system. he differed from the other
bs Of the House Committee In this respect that
while he determined to split the party rather than
permit the Regency to pack the Charleston Convention,
bs colleagues, well Mr.. Dickinson and Mr. Mather
who had influence among themwere 30 persuaded that
the hards would be treated literally, that they had re-
solved to accept the overtures which had been made TO
them and, while preferring the district system yield
gracefully they found themselves at Syracuse In
minority. hessrs. Croswell, Aather, Russell, Tucker,
Sands and others, confirmed in this moderate
design by the sudden appearance through the ckery Of
Cassidy, Of the Wise letter. and them doubted
the expedency of adopting for the present the district
system 1t all. Mr.. Woods extreme view therefore
far overrued that official mention Of the subject
was made in the letter TO the State Committee of the
Aator House gentlemen.
Such was the. state Of things on the I'd, Sd
and 4th Of August. The secret understanding be.
tween Mr.. Dcsnsons friends and the sorts was that
the latter should every exerton give tho former
half at eaet Of the delegates TO Charleston, aud more
over that the hards should have full liberty TO name
their men, without Interference the part of their
quondAm adversasies The Astor House gentlemen re.
turned to their homes prepared to carry this under
standing and but for the utter treachery and rascaty
which chaIacterizes every move Of the Regency, tbs
would have been the basic OF future action.
Scarcely had an, Mr. Cassidy and h colleagues

into which they had entered and they aboring with
