Democratic ConvcntIon,

ALBANY, n. ", Sept. 12-When Hon.
Sanford f. Church resumed the Chair
this morning, no was greeted with
rounds of applause, and interrupted
sired to make II few remarks of expla-
nation in reference to what had occur
red yesterday, partly on account of n
misrepresentation by "a portion OF the
Convention. When the Chair found
that neither of the committees were Dre-
pared with a report, he supposed that
the Convention would be inclined to
yield to nu adjournment until this
morning. When the motion was made
to adjourn, the chairman declared il
carried, hastily, perhaps before the vo-
ting was finished. If that had created
ill feeling in the minds of any gentle
men present, no one mbre regretted it
than the chair. tCheers.l
The Committee ON Permanent Organ
izatiOn reported. Hon. Sanford Church
was made President, with eight Vice.
Presidents. The following is the plat
torn, adopted unanimously:
The Democratic and National Union
electors of the State of New York, in
convention assembled Mt ALBANY on
this twelfth day of September, 1866,
hereby renfIirm tho principles set forth
by the Convention held at Philadelphia
on the 18th OF August last, and further
reAtLrm that we hold our pledges inviO-
late, and as far as in us lies will make
good the faith of the nation pledged by
The Senate of the United States in the
resolutions of the 18th day of July,
1861, and by the House of Representa-
ttCcs in the resolutions of the I'D OF
July, by General Grant mt the AppOtO-
max Court House, and President John
son in his proclamation OF May 18th,
1865, which fully, lawfully, and finally
restored to all rights of citizenship the
nf N nF
ern States who in their State
Conventions and Legislatures full
filled every required condition and
who by their delegations in the Phila-
delphi0 Convention gave every needGul
pledge of sincerity of their renewed al
legtH nee and their acceptance of the is
sues of the war; and lastly we affirm
that the Capitalization OF power in this
state, not less than in the Union, Is ia
tai to the harmony of our political sys-
tenn and dangerous to the liberty of the
citizens. The recent legislature at AL
bany has usurped supreme yet fear
full control of the local affairs which
counties and municipalities are entitled
TO regulate. 1t has exceeded any form
er precedent in its extrHvagant expen-
ditures and its fraudulent tampering
with the public works of the State. AT
Washington millions have been squan-
dered upon central schemes of local
benefaction and u partisan Congress,
while reducing the appropriations for a
patriotic soldiery has not scrupled to
enhance its own emolument of Office
not to dwell upon other attendants
suits whose name Is legion, and conf
IDENTIFY appeal to the Electors of the
State to unite with us In n determined
effort to restore the just balance of gov
ernmental power SO widely distributed
by the fathers OF the Constitution, and
to arrest that monstrous corruption
which is fastsubduing public spirit and
public virtue, and by such earnest Of
fort, to enlarge the freedom, tighten the
burden, and promote the happiness OF
the State and Union.
The Convention nominated John T..
Hoffman, for Governor, Robert Fl.
PTuyn, 1t. Governor, Vim. Wright, Ca
nal Commissioner, and Frank b. Gal
higher, of Erie, for Inspector OF State
Prisons. After this, the Convention
took n recess until p. M, to receive u
visit from tho candidates for Governor
and 1t. Governor.
