on Monday the 9th of May, and 1t organized
temporarily by the appointment of Mr.. Wright Of
Pa. President, and Thos. Richie jr. Of Va. Secre-
tary
Mr. Saunders of N. G. arose and moved resolu-

a vote of t,co thirds to nominate candidates for
President and Vice President warm discus

Colquitt of Geo., and Hopkins of Va. supported
and Messrs. johnson Of Tenn. and Clifford of Me-

copal prayers for general assemblies, and the Rev
Mr. Jton read selection from Psalms.

others, spoke in defence of the resolution of Mr..
Saunders. 1t was subsequently withdrawn, at the
suggestion of Hon. r. l. Walker Of Miss, who
submitted resolution that the delegates from each
State appoint one of their number to report the
names of regularly appointed delegates; and also
modified at the suggestion of Mr.. Jowett of Me-.
that the number present from each State duly eu
thenticated to act be reported, combining the num-
Der to that of the Electoral College.

We again omit regular journal: So great
was the excitement growing out of the locofoco
Convention that it was impossible to keep quorum
in Congress, and of course little was done. We
record the principal events. First-the Senate
has concurred in the resolution for adjournment, so
that Congress will adjourn on the Eth instant.--
Second-the Senate has on its part settled the
Tariff question Mr.. Rives of Va. voted against
the tariff of 1S42, but he has acknowledged his
error, and come out boldly in defence and support
of that measure. Mr.. McDuffie closed the debate
on the part of the locofoco free traders, in fiery
speech, in which he indicated new mode OF
Nulliication-that was, for the State Of South
Carolina to lay countervailing duties On COM
ing to vote on the resolutions on the Tariff, Mr.
Allen of Ohio Qocofoco) moved to amend SO as to
declare that the duties of the present tariff are
