N. ". Dem ecrniic State Conven,oi,

SARATOGA, Aug. 29.-Delegates to the Dem
ocratic State Convention, which assemblies to-
morrow, are here in great numbers. The ques-
ton which has been considered likely to pro-
duce want of harmOny-that in reference to
the New York delegation-has been settled by
agreement TO admit "a members of the anti
Tammany delegation to the convention, giving
Tammany the remainder of the delegation,
which is SO. Anti-Tammany to also to have
two representatives on the State Committee
and three on the electoral ticket.
Specials from Saratoga say Mr.. Hewitt is now
considered out of the contest for the Governor
ship being ineligible because of his residence
in New jersey within five years. The Consti-
tuition of the state requires Governor to have
been resident Of the state for five years pre-
ceding his election. The friends Of Clarkson
N. Potter consider that the contest in the con-
vention will be between their candidate and
Mr.. Marble, while Comptroller Robinson's sup
porters who come in great strength from the
southern tier of counties, consider both Mar
BILE and Potter unpopular. Notw outstanding
the circulation of reports that Judge Church is
out of the race, it is learned from delegates who
conversed with him yesterday, that should his
nomination be made by Gov. Tilden's friends
in the convention unanimously he would &C =
cept.
There is desire to present the name of Ho-
ratio Seymour for Governor, and an attempt to
secure his nomination by reclamation, notwith-
standing he has pelemptorily refused the use
of his name. Judge Church, it is understood,
adheres to his declaration that he will not &C.
cept the nomination unless it is rendered to him
by reclamation and without an opposing can
ddute. There are those who think Comptrol-
Ter Robinson, who is as yet little talked of, will
be the mau finally agreed upon. The canvass
in behalf of Manton Marble is being strongly
pressed, and Dorsheimer is constantly losing
ground. There is little talk of the candidat. for
Lieutenant Governor, though Clarkson N. Pot
ter has been named in case Mr. Seymour is
nominated. There never was greater uncer-
tainty on the night before convention than
now prevails at midnight.
