present. and there were only about dozen towns
in the State that were not represented. The pro-
ceedngs, generally speaking, were harmonious, but
still there sucient differences or opinion now
and then to cause some OF the delegates in warmth
OF debate to indulge in sharp criticisms and spicy
personalities. The whole night preceding
the Convention was little else than an uninter-
rupted and noisy caucus. Many sat up until
daybreak, and the usual tranquility Of the Massa-
soft and Haynes hotels was superseded by score
Of miniature bedlams. During the forenoon until
the assembling OF the Convention the caucusing
was also continued with unabatcd Industry, the
great points OF difference being in designating the
gentlemen who shonld represent the party in the
NEXT DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The matter OF candidates for Governor ana other
State officers was an affair Of comparative insignih-
canoe, for, as intimated In my despatch OF last
night the nomination OF John quincy Adams and
the other followers OF democracy who have been
accustomed to annual defeats was an assumed
certainty.
THE CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER.
s. r. SPINNEY, OF Boston, as Chairman OF the
State Central Committee, called the Convention to
order shortly after twelve O'clock and so doing
took occasion to alude to the extraordinary and
promising circumstances under which they had
assembled. Referring to the choice Of delegates to
the National Convention he said that upon the action
OF that coming assembly depended the future not
only OF the party, but Of the whole country; and, in
winding up, he invoked the blessing OF God upon
their deliberations, which were now to begin.
ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONVENTION
Edward Avery, or Braintree, an old standby of
the Massachusetts, democracy, was then by ACCLAIM
ation chosen as the presiding ofllcer Of the Con-
vention. In assuming his duties Mr. AVERY spoke
