Tho Convention that closed labors here yesterday
has one Of the mos. singular histories of ANY, party con-
yeutiou that ever assembled in this salt city The dele
cation was what may have been considered double
headed set The interior Of the State had mixture o.
men from the Douglas and Breckenridge factions, while
New York came divided the old issue-Mozart and
Tsmmany The only contest that Of the lat
Ter and on had the spice Of the sessonhe pep
Scr with which the proceedings seasonedand at
one time there was evidence Of little too much pepper
xr the Regency.
Tammany came with distinctive pledge from the Re
sency that she alone should DO recognized and this
point the Regency kept faith with the Tammany deega
son The latter, relying upon the power Of the Regency
kept quiet, and made effort TO influence the members
Sf the Convention to votes in their favor The
Nozarcrs, the other hand, mistrnsng that treaty
existed between the Regency and Tammany, went to
workwth the individual delegates and the result Of tho
Arst vote shows how they succeeded The committee
was planned especially for Tammany, and came in with
report by members in favor Of the admittance Of
,Tammany and the exclusion Of Mozart The minor
~ made report but il is understood that they
stood in favor Of sending both delegations
home to fight II out there, and the other three
for dividing the delegations and admitting equal
Der Of each. The question brought before the Con
yention by the report Of majority Of the committee
substitute offered and after debate Of hour
more, both delegations admitted thus fairly and
squarcly flooring the Regency They beaten in
Sher household, and struck down by the pretended
new converts. The blow that the Regency felt
1t hit them on raw spot, as any person could have
by the movements Of Richmond, who flying
about all the evening, if his very existence depended
npon bis exertions to recover from the shock.
The cry at raised that the Convention had
endorsed the Daily Ascs and Ben Woods peace platform
An appeal made, not much for the regularity of
zAmmany for patriotism. Ben. Wood declared the
representative Of Mozart, and the cry was
raised that defeat certain. BY dnt Of perseve
the part OF the several members Of the Regency
working nearly all night they succeeded in turning the
tables, and after stormy time bordering close row.
che Convention the second day reconsidcred and
verscd their decision and went work and repaired the
broken slate Of the Regency The of the may
be considered harbreadth They very near
going before the people repudiaed by their Con
vention Says Of the Regency firm, Immediately
after the admittance Of Mozart, ''Thc republicans will
declare that the Regency have been overthrow Mozart
snnning the democratic party, with the Daily Nus
she official organ y and then asked the country members
how trey could answer the charge.
Appeals like that changed the tide, but IL it had not
Su one half Of the Convention would have retired eav-
ing but the Mozart delegation and peace party
Your readers can imagine what kind Of platform they
would have put FORTH Tammany had made up her mind
"a stay and had prepared following protest. which
