calls who have control of the republican party.
Wood and Purdy completely outgeneralied the
Albany Regency. whose intention it was to
nominate General Dix. Dean Richmond and
Peter Cagger had the matter cut and dry; but,
with all their cunning, they were not smart
enough for the New York steel traps they had
to deal with. Pipe had been laid for the Western
men of the State, who have great horror Of
the Regency, and formed an alliance against it
vantage Of pause in the proceedings of the
Convention, rose to his feet and suddenly pro-
posed the nomination for Governor, by accla-
nation, of Horatio Seymour. Such tenn
pest Of shouting from the musical throats of
the men of Tammany, Mozart and the West
followed the proposition that it was useless
to resist, and the question was declared
to be carried by acclamation. Peter
Caggsr subsequently suggested, in pri-
vate conversation, that it would be more
judicious to appoint a committee, when it
was replied to him that if he would
take the responsibility Of moving for a
reconsideration of the question perhaps his pro-
position would be agreed to. Cagger imme-
diately backed out, feeling that there was
nothing left for him now but to submit with
the best possible grace. So chagrined was the
Argus at the success Of Wood that II omitted
his speech, which was the best on the occasion.
The speech of Seymour was also we'll adapted
to accomplish the object in view-to cordially
unite all the elements of the democracy through
out the State, without multiplying the issues.
Seymour is able, and is a strong man in the
State, perhaps the best man the united demo-
Gratis could bring forward. He stands well with
the Irish, with tho Germans, with the liquor
dealers, and with the general democracy. He
stands upon the basis of Union and conserva-
tism; and upon the same principles Fernando
Wood is to be candidate for q seat in Con-
gress and will undoubtedly be elected.

The Cry ELEcroNs-The city elections
which are soon to come of are of more than

they will, from the stirring events Of the war.
The two wings Of the democracy, so long sepa-

doubt OF its success in tho coming elections.
The hatchet is buried, the calumet Of peace Is
smoked once more, and, the democracy being
unit, its triumph Is certain.
The union of the democracy and the demo-
cratic nomination for Governor of this State
were coococied in this city, and are part Of one

Just What is Wanted.

President FELTON,, always alive to the
interests of the farmers along the Delaware
Railroad, has made arrangements by which
they can ship their peaches and other pro-
duce direct through to the great markets
OF New York and the East, or to Philadel-
phla, as their interests may dictate. New
market cars have been built in an admirable
manner, well ventilated and arranged es-
pecially for this business, so that all kinds
of fruit can now be forwarded by Railroad
and with greater certainty than by sail boats,
while ut the same time it may be relied on as
arriving at the point of destination in good
condition. Cars will be left at the depot
daily for the convenience of all persons
having fruit to ship, and those desiring to
send to New York can have their peaches
ready to put in the car over night and 90
early the next morning by the passenger
tram There must however, rs we under
stand, be a car full to insure through ship
ment, as it would not pay the Railroad Co.
TO forward a car not more than half full.
Persons shipping TO Philadelphia, and wish
ing their fruit sold there, will also have cars
left at depot during the day which will af-
ford them the convenience ofthc whole dav
to pick their fruit and carry it to the depot
to he put in the car designated expressly
Tor their accommodation. These cars, if
filled, when they arrive at Broad and Prime
streets depot will be hauled down to the
foot of Dock St, if parties shipping desire
1t, where a fine large market house has re-
Gently been erected. and other improve
mcntN made, with a view expressly for the
sale Of fruits and vegetables. All baskets,
barrels or other packages should be plainly
marked with the shippers name or his
INITIALS, which will be returned in same ears
they arc forwarded in; and it is the inten-
ton of the X. X. Co. for these ears durinp
the first season not to go below SMYRNA
Station nor stop above it, but to run
run exclusively from II Depot. The same
Will apply to all other DcPotS.
Heretofore, one inSurmolmtablc objection
to shipping peaches by Railroad was their
beng landed away out at corner of Broad
and Prime streets, where they. on arrival.
found not only no markct-house. but no
buyers. and had to be cartcd down to the
wharf at an additional expense Of Transport
tatiOn.
Already the Railroad Co. are daily run
ming three or four Of these beautiful and
well-arrangrd market-cars, attached to the
evening passenger train. and, we learn, are
usually filled with peaches, apples, berries
and vegetables. And we are also informed.
should the quantity increase sufficient to JUS
tlty it, special train will be run to suit the
and interests ofpartics shipping
