ALBANY Sept. 2, 1858.
The returns from Vermont were damper upon
the spirits Of the delegates this morning. The un-
welcome news was canvassed at the breakfast table
with great earnestness No little uneasiness was
FELT as to the result which 1t indicates In reference
to the national political contest
'We've made great mistake SIR" said one gen.
tleman at the Delavan to neghbor at table; chad
We nominated Chase we'd have had sure thing Of
u. Butt. he continued, after few minutes as II to
draw hope from the words, 1--WE can elect Seymour,
anyhow
i record his remarks simply because they make a
straw-a trinng one, perhaps-to show how the
political wind Ia going to blow between now and
next November.
While the canvassing and caucusing were going
on among the delegates the republicans startled
their nerves at midnight with q salute Of one hun
dred guns fred in honor Of the victory in Vermont.
DECLINATION OF SENATOR MURPHY.
Senator Henry c. Murphy arrived IN Albany by
The afternoon train yesterday His presence was
the immediate signal for movement on the
part Of the Tammany men to solicit his
withdrawal. A conference, rather o series
Of conferences, ensued and lasted throughout the
night. The first indication Of his declination was
the suspension OF the arrangements to serenade him
at the hotel. A band Of music had come up from
Brooklyn with q host of retainers who were to
march in torchlight procession, with Murphy BAN
ners and transparencies and bring up at the Della
van, where he was to deliver them q speech. Those
who did not know what was on foot were greatly
anxious, when the hour arrived, to know why the
ceremonies did not come of. There were no orders
70 the band and no leaders could be found for the
procession. The deliberations continued all night
and terminated this morning about ten O'Clock with
she declinaton Of Mr.. Murphy.
>e.c THE CONVENTION
met few minutes after twelve O'Clock to-day. The
delay Of q few minutes was quite exasperating to
the anxious spirits present in Tweddle Hail. who by
cries Of "Timep' and by stamping, finally evoked
Sam Tiden from the crowd at the back OF the STAGE
The ancient democratic functionary made them
speech in his usual vein and then nominated for
Temporary Chairman II. o. Cheeseboro, Of Ontario.
Mr. Cheeseboro was warmly received, but made
very tame speech and very brief one.
The crowd In the hall was as large one as ever
assembled there. The body, the galleries and the
spaces BY the walls were filed with spectators. At
least two thousand strangers had arrived In town to
TAKE part In the demonstrations for Holman and MUIR
ply respectively and for the minor candidates the
ticket Bands Of music had been playing all the fore
noon, and lines Of men wearing the Murphy ribbon
marched up and down the streets. All these
gradually hived into Tweddle Hall, which contained
about thousand persons during the session Of the
At the close Of Mr.. Cheesboro's speech some en-
nusiastic man proposed three cheers for Henry O.
Murphy, which were given. A Holman man, despite
the warning frown OF the Tammanyites, who did not
wish to reopen the wounds that were healed by
Nurphys declination, then and proposed three
cheers for the Mayor, which were given with defiant
vehemence.
NEW COMPLICATIONS.
After some elaboration and thought the Tammany
men seemed somewhat frightened at their own bold
and manifested desire not to seek for further
achievements now that they had secured the nomi-
nation Of Holman. The New York delegation ap-
parently were originally in favor Of Albert P. Lam
ing, Of Erie, for the second position the ticket
but the opposition brought to bear by the Kings
county delegates evidently had an eject of produc.
mg change In favor Of Allen G. Beach, Of Jenerson
winch secured to him the nomination also. The
monopolizing tendencies Of the New York Tammany.
ites were severely taken to task; but notwthstand
that much feeling was expressed by the two sepa-
rate sections from Kings and Queens counties, still
there ia Q disposition to act tremendously through
out the whole Convention.
