large meeting, embracing delegates from fourteen States
The Rev. Mr.. Lewis, of Ohio, appointed president
with nine vice presidents and five secretaries. The
Buffalo Express says that
Among the distinguished members of the conven
ton Rev. Mr. Lewis of Ohio s. p. Chase, lawyer of

They nominated their candidate for next President

and Larkin King, of Ohio, for Vice President. Hale
received 1o3 votes and G. Smith At.
This is element in the next presidential election
which must be counted by the political astronomers of

pathetic appeals to them from Mr. Webster and that ilk
to unite with the wing party. We recollect how

1914, and suspect he will meet with no better sue

Rumor5 are rife in the city, many of which have no
foundation. For instance, received this morning
Geographic bulletin from Philadelphia editor. in
curing uhcn should publish General SCOTS de-
spatches This curiosity probably produced by the
blunder of scrbber in this city, who writes to New
York that large budget OF dispatches had arrived from
the camp. But the fact is, that dispatches have
been received from the General descriptive OF the late
stirring events and indeed no letter, as we have under
Stood from General Scott since the 4th of June Either
they have been intercepted they have been withheld
from the apprehension of their falling into the bands Of
the gueas. This state of things cannot continue much
longer the advancing einfocements and the positions
which they mean to occupy upon the route, must soon
open the communication. Indeed, we understand that
General Scott has been expressly instructed to open the
road for the purpose of transmitting his dispatches
Another report current in the streets of Washing
tom to-day, viz that express had arrived from the
Rio Grande, with information that Urea was crossing
the mountains with 10000 troops, for the purpose of
sweeping posts in that direction. But have
tanned that express has arrived with any such nor
nation Letters have been received from General Tay-
ors camp, but they say nothing Of Urrea's INVASION
late New Orleans paper states that Gen. Taylor in
tends to visit the United States and expects be in New
Orleans some time in the month of November We doubt
this information, as we presume the General will not
leave the army until he has communicated his wishes
to the department; and understand that no such no.
tice has yet been received.
