Powers, of Bpringfjeld, in the chair aud proceeded to business. After a long wrangle Mayor Piatt took the plat form anil said that per sons in tbe hall might remain, hut that no Others would bo admitted. A resolution (baking the Mayor lor his decided ct md, was unanimously passed amid great ap- plauie. The Gnuvcutinu tliuu took a re ctus ol Unpen minute. At lLJQ I) ivnl Powers took the floor and requested the delegates to nominate n c lairnian. Mr, McDevitt, Butler's 8"crcUry, moved Hiat a committee lle pomiuate I to nee that jynly delcgste having credentials be ad mitted to th,e ball. Tbje motion was rarricd, and the com rnittce cieclcd retired. B .lore it letnriied there was a rush made lor the hall by an outsider, and the door was forced. lie wsa closely followed by the mob, but the doois were cloed by the police. At this junc ture Major Mcpafferty entered the hall and ;wa received with cheers. Hot). Edward Avery stepped upon fie nlatforrri and said : "By n quest ol the Democratic Statu committee, 1 am here to announce" (cat-cal!s and hisses lollowed each other in rapid succession.) Mr. Avery maintaining his position, a delegate oiove 1 that he be requested to leave the platform. Ths Chairman decided that Mr, Avery juust Isove the plaiforui, whicn he rtlued to do. Major McCafl'erty said Mr. Avery was ambitious lor the houorss ol a martyr. He wanted to go out to the "lilue Moods" and inform them that be had served I hem. lie wanted to go out and inform the men who called the members of the Convention Com jnunists. that he bad pet formed that duty. "I am authoriz .'(1," said Mr. Avery, (cat calls and hisses again interrupted tho speaker, who was oblige to cease speaking. Major McCaffurty again tried In speak, urging the convention to hear what Mr. Avery had to say. The excitement beg gared description, the delegates brandish ing canes, bats, &a. finally Mr. Avery pot the platform and .declared the convention adjourned until Wednesday, September 25;b. lie thin lett tbe ball. Fuit'uer proceedings resulted in the elec tion of Major MeCarlerty, ol Worcester, as teuiporry chairmin This was followed by the election ot Kiehard fi. Spallord of Newbnryport a? permanent president. On taking the chair, Mr. Spaft ird made a speech, referring to the wants of the la boring classes and deuouticing the bond holders. During the proceedings previous to the election of permanent chairman. I).-. Km, of Boston declared the notion of the I Jem . Piratic committee an usurpation of extra ordinary atrocity and deserving ot the ccn pure of tbe Democratic party tif Massichu setts. The convention w as further organized by I he choice ol Dr. A. H. Kice, Matthew Fo.ley and P. Mehan. as S"crctaric9. foho L. Kice, ol springlicld, then said he proposed to place in nomination lor U.v trnor a man who believed in tho good old Democratic principle, and would right the old Commonwealth. He th 'relore nomi nated General lienjauiin F. Duller, (cheers and great excitement, the delegates all riling and cheering. ) Mr, Cook, ol Boston, seconded the nom ination. The chairman stated the motion, when John C. Galvou, ol Stoughlon, took the fl-mr and protested against the Dame ol Benj F. Butler, and asked how in the name ol God a D-unoorat could consistently .nominate General Butler for Governor, lie said. "For 16 years Butler has opposed every Democratic principle, By bis own declarations he is not a Democrat, anil you cannot consistently nominate him." This speech was received with hisses and cries to put the speaker out, and at its conclu sion three groans for the speaker, and thrto beers for Butler, were given. The committee on Resolution? was then appointed. On motion a committee was appointed to report candidates for tbe re maisiog offices on the Statu ticket, alter which recess was taken. Tbe committee to nominate the remain der of the State ticket reported as follows : iLieut. Governor J. K. Arnold ; Secretary ol State, Charles ti. Strau-; Attorney General Caleb Cusbing; Auditor, J. Boyle O'Ueile j; Treasurer, D, N. Skillings. The nomina tions were unanimously endorsed. The platlorm re-allirms adherence to the Dumucratio princ ph s enunciated and anted upon by Ji fjerson, Madison, and Jickson; condemns extravagance in Plato txpcn li tures: expresses Bhame and snrrnw at tbe sight ol a President, elected by the vole of a majority, set atdo, and tho people deprived l bis services by lorgery and perjury, aud declares that no man should be permitted to hild ulllce who is tainted with Irau I and corruption; reproduces the platlorm lor the Statu government, as set forth by tbi Dm cratic party in its con tention in 1S76, a more rxten.tr, lelerenre to which is found iu the address ol tbe jcandidate lor Governor (But lei) to the .citizsni who asked htm to bo a candidate; .deprecates legislation tending to place im pediments iu the way of Iree sulfrage by poor men; and calls upon all to unite with ft be Democracy in securing needed reforms. ACt;o?j of tub statb committkr. Tho Stato Central Committee unani mously voted to adj mra the convention ill Wednesday of next wet k, to Fauouil flail to Boston. This action was rendered ptcessary from the lact that Butler's Irienda have secured all tbe available balls in Wnrcrster, Tbe leaders also take tbe ground that after the mob proceedings v .which have taken place here to-day, they , can go be lore the people aud lead such a .movement that will crush Butler. The , leading men, such as Judge Abbott, Cbas. P- Thompson, F. V. Bird, Gen. Wbjtney aud Wm. Atpinwall, havo shown great .moderation in their action to-day, and Urged their friends to prevent any breach ofthapeate. It is duo to tbrso leaders that no serious trouble has occurred, as there were a Urge Dumber of men who were so indignant that they volunteered to take possesion of Mechanics' Hall and clesj ths Butler force out.
