New .York ■ Politics—American ' State

' Geneva, N. Y.j Aug. 23-— Quite a number ofpro*
minerit American politicians have congregated here,
to attend the Amerloan bt&to Council, -which will
meet to-morrow, 1 The straggle will be on the time
of holding tho State Convention. Daniel Ullman,
who, it Is said, represents the polioy of Thurlow
Weed;’will oppo3e a call of the' 1 Convention on the
same day the Republicans will hold theirs, in order
that the latter may not ho embarrassed by any
union, oponly, with the Americans. '
Tho Buffalo delegation, who, favor a union, and
act with the anti*Weed Republicans, advocate tho
holding of the Convention on the 7th of September,
at Syracuse, so as to foroo the Republican Conven
tion either to recognise the Americans', or drive
them into an open rapture. . "
-The chanoes thus far* seem to be in faver of the
calling of thoi Convention to tojefc on the 21st of
