GENERAL SATISFACTION AMONG THE o:TY DEM
ocRArs AT THE RECALLING OF THE CONVEX
rIoN-wHY SOME DISSENT.
The call OF tho State Committee for . reassembling
Of tho Democratic Convention gave great satisfaction
TO the democrats In the city yesterday. There were
many, however who shook their heads and expressed
tho opinion tha. II would have been better had the
committee issued call for tho democratic voters to
hold primaries In their various Assembly districts. so
that delegates could be- by district conventions elected
in the usual way to " now convention. This opinion
was based the idea that the recalling of the old
Convention brings together set OF men who Will have
scores 10 settle, and, consequently, that
A DIRTY LINEN
will be washed tho great cdacaon Of tho repuoli-
caus Indeed, Is generally anticipated that Faulk-
ner and hts committee will be taken In hand without
gloves by tho whole convention. and that those deo-
gates who opposed to the nomination OF
Mr. Seymour on the ground that he would
not accept will go for the scalps OF those who
wero most conspicuous in ad, coating his nomi-
nation at all hazards The Liberty street head
quarters had not heard Of the call up TO the time
was announced on tho newspaper bulletins, and when
the gentlemen in charge did know OF 1t they expressed
n,t ,ha NAL Con
mit,oe really nothing do with the State Com
mittee-at least authority than the smallest OF
democrats-heir satisfaction or disploasure Is Of little
importance.
There was q large number OF visitors nt tho Liberty
street headquarters during the day. among whom were
Ex-Governor Walker, OF Virginia; Ex-Governor Bialer,
OF Pennsylvania; Henry Hauck, editor Of tho Cncin-
natl vokst,eund John Whistler, OF Indiana ard State
Senator Dayton. When questioned about the pros
poets their respective States they all stated that they
were excellent Governor Walker feels certain Vir
gina will 20 democratic, and Mr.. Hauck expects the
same good luck is in Tor Ono. Mr. Biger stated
that there large class OF republicans who are ais
satisfied with tho administration ut Washington and
who are anxious to q change In tho government.
This OF voters he remarked do not mean to bo
led by any party influence but simply by the exgen-
c,cs Of the times They composed, ho said, Of
aborers, mechanics, merchants and professional men,
and will be guided by the example that will DO set thom
by the people in the coming elections in New England
Ohio and Indana that should tho democratic party
carry these States may with certainty depend upon
carrying Pennsylvania also.
INTERVIEW WITH l. r. FAULKNER.
Yesterday q HERALD reporter sought an interview
with General Lester B. Faulkner and tho following
conversation ensued: -

General FAuLKxER-with reference to the effect OF
Governor Scymours refusal to accept the nomination.
do not regard as any disaster TO the dem-
ocrac canvass The republican party IN Indiana, where
the State election Is regarded as one OF
grave importance IN apparent dearlh OF repre-
sentative men, recalled Minister Orth to become
tho candidate OF that party tor Governor.
In the midst OF the canvass he withdrawn oy the
State Committee under charges OF corruption. aud
General HARRISON without the Endorsement OF State
Convention, substituted In his stead suppose that
General Harrsons supporters would DO unwilling to
admit that the circumstances OF his nomination
the misfortune Of hs upon the ticket mako
General Harrison weak candidate. Governor Scy-
mour has been Withdrawn under the epemy's fire,
but has simply adhered to his published determination
not TO be a candidate Under misapprchcnsion that
ho had changed his mind IN that regard the Saratoga
Convention adjourned without filling the place thus
left Nor IS It proposed that In this State the
State Central Committee shall name Governor Sey-
mour on the ticket, In imitation Of the
publican plan IN Indiana The state Convention
will recalled Immediately to complete its labors Ny
own idea Is that this recall should be accomplished
through Judge Gray, the President Of the Convention.
1t is gross msappreacnsion to assume that any of
the eople who named particularly as Governor
TiIden's friends had anything to do with the
ton OF Governor Seymour at Saratoga You may take
II AS the assertion OF position to know that
the persons thus not united upon any
candidate, but were divided between Potter, Dors-
hemcr, Peckham Robinson, Lord and others. The
ms niicst feeling OF tho Convention strongly for
born democrat Tor the hrst place on tho ticket but
this feeling by means confined TO Mr. Potter
a candidate There WAS q general feeling among the
delegates that Governor Seymours previous declina-
tion did not contemplate the UNANIMOUS and
enthusiastic nomination which was rendered him.
The belief that he would accept such nomi-
nation rapidly gained ground III tho Convention,
and was merely interpreted by my motion
for his nomination by acclamaton. Friends of tue
several candidates whose names were presented all
expressed preference Tor Seymour provided no would
ACCEPT the nomination. | deemed It wise. therefore.
to ascertain whether or not Governor Seymour would
accept a unanimous nomination. The only way
satisfy the party the State that be would was
for the Convention tender IL to him and his
reply. Ny motion Tor his nomination was not tho re-
suit OF any consultation whatever with any person.
Democratic conventions In this State regard themselves
AS instructed to nominate Horatio Seymour for any
Office IN their gift, aud this motion prevailed without
opposition IL should be observed that my subsequent
motion or tho appointment OF committee was Tor
