in at the dssth whsnsver the game should be
down.
The Committees are in the full tide Of unsuccess-
full baheting. The last vote stood as follows:
Clay. lOS-Harrson, "a Scott, 81.
AT seven o'clock the Committee met sgreeaby to
adjournment There was very full attendance of
ladies' and the galleries crammed full Of oafers
Mr.. Wetmore Of New York. offered series of
resolutions which he said he was directed by the
Wing young men Of the City and County, to present
for the confederation of the National Convention
These resolutions recommend the calling Of Ma
tional Convention Of Wing Young Men 10 respond
to the nomination of this Convent n On the read
ing of the resolutions, Mr.. gilmore took occasion
to deliver himself Of short speech, with which he
seemed TO have been aboring for some time He
represented the Wing Young Men Of the City and
County OF New York extraordinary set OF fell
lows In every respect and apprsed the Convention
OF the important fact that this august body had come
to the conclusion, in the most decided MANNER that
Mr.. Clay was suitable candidate forthe Presidency.
Whereupon Mr. Mathew l.. Davis winked with his
spectacles, Dudley Selden shut up one eye, and
Thurlow Ward frewned, and some part of the Con
vent. ON applauded and some did not. The Commit
tees were not prepared TO report and the Convention
took recess until nine o'clock this evening.
The different parties in the Convention ARE in
very curious position. New York with her AZ
votes, settle the question at any moment by go
ing for Harrison Clay but the delegates held to
Scott in the hope Of drawing of from Mr.. Clay suf
icient strength TO effect the nomination of their IA
delegation this afternoon and informed them that un.
lea the friends OF Clay consented throw their in
fuence in favor OF Scott, New York would go for
Harrison and defeat Mr.. Clay. Thepfoposition was
Indignantly rejected, and the termination clearly
expressed, to consent 10 no compromise, but to ad
here firmly TO MIR. Clay, until he or somebody else
obtained majority Of the votes and then to support
the nominee of the Convention with zeal and una
nimity. M
A letter from Mr.. Clay has been received here in
which he expresses his readiness TO withdraw from
the canvass, if mis- friends think BEST but they will
not consent.
1t is refreshing to observe the contempt in which
the petty intrigues and patry purposes Of the New
York city polite ans held by the sagacious and
highmnded gentlemen who represent the south and
west in this Convention. However important Duo.
ley Seden may be in his own set at home, and how.
ever useful Mr. Davis may be as correspondent Of
the Courier and Enquirer, their influence here is
less than nothing. Even the ardent supporters of
Clay from the sonth who will hardly listen to the
name of any other candidate, spurn the idea Of pro
fitting by the little trickery Of such men. Mr..
Leigh, Gov. Tyler, Mr.. Archer, and the host OF no.
bic fellows who have come here to express their
warmsst preference for Mr.. Clay, are moved by
the hottest impulses Of patriotism. As Gov Bar.
venal purposes, longing after the " flesh pots of
Egypt,'-they have loitier and purer aims The
selfish schemers from New York cannot appreciate
such motives Of action. and have the want of com
munty Of sentiment and feeling among them.
The Courier and Enquirer Of Saturday, which the
" old boy in specs" circulated among the members
yesterday, contained impadent dictatorial arti
Gle prescribing the, course for the Cow ention TO
pursue, and insisting that adjournment several
months should take place, il the nomination Of Mr.
Clay should be found mpracticable. If the rebukcs
which his presumptuous arrogance received ON al
most every quarter could have reached the ears OF
the editor it is doubtful whether his great modcsty
would have borne him up under them. This inso.
lence was scourged in the Com ention and sneered
at out OF doors.

Of Maryland said that the committee from the delega
