The Democratic State Con
vention.
Completion of the Ticket and AdOp-
tiOn of the Platform.
ALBANY, Sept. 3, 1868.

ALBANY, Sept 8, 1868.
The Convention reassembled this morning and
completed the nominations on the State ticket. The
.ess;on was ouiet one and created little interest
the galleries being almost deserted. The interest
had centred on the nomination for Governor, and
when that had been made the crowd vanished. The
aisgusted Murphyites reembarked on board their
steamer cannon, banners, music, badges and all,
and returned to the City OF Churches. A great deal
OF Indignation is manifested among the Kings
county delegates at the withdrawal OF their
candidate, and the curses are loud and
deep against the greed and tyranny Of
Tammany Hail. Particularly is this feeling
visible among the country delegates, who quite
jublant last night over breaking the slate on the
Lieutenant GOvernorship and nominating o man
who not pledged to the ring. Otherwise the
Convention has been most harmonious one, con-
sdering the elements which generally constitute
democratic gathering. The leaders are very well
satisfied Tweed is skipping about with elephantine
payfulness over the success OF his schemes Sweeny
h more recenL but is none the less pleased at the
general result OF the Convention.
Hoffman did not turn up last night to make his
speech accepting the nomination.
The defeat OF Lanning for the second place on the
ticket and the choice Of Beach was the only inroad
upon the Tammany slate. Bascom was easily nomi-
mated for Canal Commissioner. McNels opponent
was withdrawn midway Of the vote and his own
nomination made unanimous by reclamation. Per-
rim was nominated for Clerk OF Court Of Appeals
without much opposition The "slate." az pro-
pnesled in the HERALD the morning the Convention
assembled, was nominated with the exception Of
one name. This single exception was the result Of
the sporadic attempt on the part Of the country
to rebel against the dictaton of the city democrats
The platform is q reassertion Of that Of the New
York National Convention In a more condensed
FORM 1t demands In addition the adoption OF excise
laws If any permitted to remain on the statute
books which shall extend in their provisions to all
sections Of the State.
One Of the "dead ducks' OF the fight is poor John
A. Green, Jr., Of Syracuse, who was omitted from
the State Central Committee and otherwise severely
left alonen
Soon after twelve O'clock the President Of the
Convention delivered his farewell speech counseling
harmony and energy in the campaign. Then the
new State Committee was announced and the Con.
vention adjourned.

INDEPENDENT P.oPLI.-"G God never
made an independent man, " is an axiom
as old, almost, As the world itself, and
so true that it has received the common
consent of every rational and we'll
thinking person. We are all dependent
upon each other. The rich are depend
emit upon the poor and tho poor upon
the rich. Capital would be dead and
unavailable without labor, and labor
would be inactive and of no conse-
quence without capital. United, they
control and regulate society and the
world-divided, they are both valueless.
The man who lays the brick in our
houses earns the money which he re-
ceives for the service from his nor
wealthy neighbor. The labor and price
of It furnish material aid aud reciprocal
dependence. We should remember
these things when we feel disposed to
regard ourselves as entirely indepcnd-
snt. The wealthy, especially, should
remember them, for their lands could
net be titled, or even their horses shod
and harnessed, without the aid Of the
strong and muscular arm which holds
the pillow and wields the hammer.

MUTATION OF ALL THISGs.-Notwith-
standing the genial and smiling rays Of
old Sol have shoue respleudently upon
a. for the past few days, and the wealth.
or has been delightful, to gladden. and
encourage our hearts, yet at this third
season Of the year, how sudden many
changes come. 1t 10 these sudden
changes Of an autumn temperature that
are most trying to the constitution Of
man, sdmonishing . due preparation
for the memorable assaults Of stern win
ter. The change Of season, tho scared
leaf, and the dropping and withered
flowers, are but the smblems Of decay.
Change 10 to DO seen written in indelible
characters upon things both animate
and inaaimate. All nature to-day may
be clothed in her brightest and most
beautiful habilimsuts, to be on the
morrow changed to assume the aspect
of sadness and gloom. This is the les
son taught Us in tho sudden mutability
and decay Of matter-an indication Of
the moro important change awaiting
mortal, possessed of an immortal princi-
pie. Then, in view Of the certainties
that hang over this transient and fleet
ing state of existence, how inquiringly
and ~snxiously should the mind be d.
rected to the investigation Of things
moro durable, that "fadeth not away"
and point to Immortality.
