SYRACUSE, Wednesday, April IL, 1860.
The Convention has passed of most hsrmociously
to-day, with a slight interruption, which at one
time threatened to involve it in an interminsble
war of words. The report of the Committee APP
pointed to nominate delegates at large, aud
to harmonic conflicting views as to dele
gates from Congressional Districts, called
forth a fierce and effective speech from
MIR Sherman of Brooklyn, who denounced the
election of Gen. Nye from the Eighth District as
delegate as the work Of politicians and not OF the
people. The delegation was divided between David
Dudley Field and Gen. Nye, and by some legerde-
main, facilitated by a report that the former wac
Chase man, against the earnest efforts and de-
pals of Messrs. Opdyke, Northrup and others,
Mr.. Nye was put ION the ticket by the Committee
Mr. johnson defended the COMMITTEE and asserted
that MIR Field said he would drop Mr. Seward,
after complimenting bin with one or two votes.
Mr. Northrup defended the sOundness of Mr.. Field,
ard advanced his claims upon the party.
The Nye men were very noisy and bOisterous
Senator Dickinson and others supported Mr.. Nye,
aud appealed to the Convention to support him.
After slightly acrimonious discussion the question
was put on substituting the name of Mr.. Field for
that Of Mr. Nye, aud was lost by small majority.
The remainder of the ticket was unanimously in-
dorred.
A resolution, repudiating the action of the Legis-
lature, was drafted, but the length of the dis
cussiOn on the Eighth District affairs prevented its
presentation. 1t would have passed 10 to |. MIR.
Stewards name when mentioned was hailed with
the greatest enthusiasm and the delegation is for
Seward first and last to man.
