county is represented. The delegates are men who
have been identified with the national wing of the
party ever since the split of 194S. The outside at
tendance is numerous and imposing. One has but
70 cast his eye over the crowd to see that the
same class Of men rally around Breckenridge that
sustained Gen. Cass twelve years ago. Among the
prominent men within and without the Convention,
are Daniel S. Dickinson, John A. Green, jr,
Henry S. Randall, Gideon j. Tucker, ex- Canal

L. Grant, Joseph o. Hasbrouck, VIM. Lewis, NJ

of whom have national reputation, and all are In
tuential in State politics.
Mr.. Dickinson is social and cOnciliatOry as
usual, but energetic and determined in stimulating
old friends to wage an Incorporating war on old
foes. Mr.. Sches letter giving in his adhesion to
the organization headed by John A. Green, is re-
garded as tribute to the tact and vigor of Green,
Tucker, and others.
Mr.. Green's course, year ago, in initiating this
organization, to which all National Democrats now
yield, is proof of bis sagacity. The success
which has crowned it testifes to his energy aud
skill.
Col John L. Dix, Wing who held an impor-
fant Office under Fillmore represents Ontario. 1t
is confidently claimed that in many localities more
National Wings and Americans will support Brock
inridge than Douglas. They are not disposed to
stop at halfway station.
On the motion to appoint State Committee,
the base uses to which Richmond and Cagger have
prestituted previous Committees, received a con.
spicuous airing. The debate was racy and spicy.
Richmond was denounced with indignation, and
Fernando Woods detection from the Hards was
alluded to with scOrn, the whole Convention cheer
ing vociferOusly.
