NEW HAVEN, Sept. II.
 DEAR ESQUiRER :-The Breckinridre faction having been dened all participation in the obse- qnes of the Democratic party at its late Conyen- tion, held separate funeral If their own in this city, on "Wednesday last. It was simply dem u"''l"VIoFr o1 tHe 0lu rugy leaders Of tie party aeanst those younger aspirants for office, who have taken advantage of the Douglas spit, tc get control of the Democratic organization, ar6 | leave the old " war hawses" out in the cold II was composed chiefly of those old grey-heade, dimmicrats from the rural districts, who bav been voting for Jackson at every election for tn, last twenty years, having not yet found out tha he IS dead and his party dead too The burde, Of their song was, We are willing to sacrifice our candidate to swallow heresy. to eat our ow, words-to do anything, if you Douglas men will re-lnstate us as leaders of an Union party to de- feat Lincoln. If you don't, Lincoln is surely elected and you are responsible; if you do, what ever happens you will at least have the pleasure of being officered by your old leaders," There was an evident and intensely bitter feeling against Douglas, but they were careful to roar as gent, ly as sucking dove,' and even avoid his name partly because many of the spectators were Dou- glas men and would applaud and partly, as one of the speakers, said, because they didn't know how much they would have to take back" R. I. Ingersoll presided and made speech in which he defended the institution of slavery and said, that it was Q modern idea that it was wrong. Then an Electoral ticket was formed, headed by Ingersoll and Seymour, the latter of whom tried to decline, but the convention wouldn't let him.
 Thereupon resolutions were presented, among which were the following:
 Resotoed, That an executive committee of one from each County and chairman, be appointed by this Convention with full power and authori- ty to alter and amend the electoral ticket this day nominated, and that we invite all conserva- tive organizations in this State opposed to the election of ! 'ncoln and Hamn to take such steps in common with us as will result in the ,ormation of joint union electoral ticket to be supported by all the opponents of the Republ- can party in the State of Connecticut.
 ReS0lred, That in case such joint union cleo toral ticket is hereafter formed, the Executive Committee Committee is also empowered to amend the Resolution of instructions to the cleo tors. The kind invitation to fuse was advocated by MT. Eaton, who said he would vote for anything, as he had no principles to give up," and by Mir. Barbour, who had followed Douglas, but was now repentant, and by MT. Bishop, who was despond- ing, and announced himself ready to retire to private life. It is believed here that the Douglas men will lot fuse but refuse; but what they may do is a | natter of little consequence. There was an union 'f both factions in the city election of Assessors, 'n Friday, and the Republicans beat them out nd out by majority of about 300. The Dem crats have carried this election heretofore for many years by large majority, and if it were ar test of party strength this result would indi ate Republican gain of HOO since last year!
