A considerable portion Of our ''inside" is
taken up to-day with the proceedings of the
Democratic National Convention, which we
give to the hour Of adjournment on We'd
nesday evening last. The Convention had
not then settled the difficulty which arose
IN consequence of two delegations from n.
Y DIRK claiming seats, and Of course, no nomi-
nation was made of candidate for the Presi-
dency. All eyes are now turned towards
this Conven,ion-composed as it is of men
of the highest order Of talent from every
State in the Union-anxous to catch the
name of the nominee. Much doubt remains
as to who vii! be the man, and are will no,
; even attempt to ''guess."
Here is what correspondent in the Sun
of Thursday last says, in reference to the
Convention and its proceedings on Wednes-
day:
The result Of the Convention is as doubt
full as ever. After hearing both Barnburn-
ers and Hunkers, in the persons Of their a.
blest speakers, and a most bosterous debate
thereon, the convention came, late in the
evening, to vote Of 1875 to l25, in favor of
admitting the Barnburners as well as the
Hunkers; after which the Convention ad-
journed.
The course of the debate left no doubt
whatever on the mind of the impartial observ-
er, but that the Barnburners have the strong
sympahies of the New England States and
the State of Illinois, as well as Tennessee
! and Kentucky, tralernlze, in part, at least,
with them. By this means they will, even
if this vote, or the subsequent questions, be
reversed, exercise a commanding influence
on the selection of candidates for the Pres-
, dency, and Vice Presidency, respectively.
: Whether they be excluded or admitted with
/, the Hunkers, is practically the same thing
the BarnbHrners will Withdraw from the
Convention.
They will then assume a dignifed atti-
, tude of silence and attention, until the cam
didates OF the Convention for the PresiGen-
cy are proclaimed. If the candidates are
Objectionable, then they will not support
them, and either make separate nomina-
ton or content themselves with protest !:
if, on the contrary, the candidates are, a.
galnst whom they can have no possible ex-
cuse for separate action, they will adopt him
as their own, and support him in the COM
ing contest.
Should the Barnburners, las is most like
,ly) leave the Convention, then the Conven-
ton will exhibit decided majority for
Gen. Cass, though whether he will have the
two-lhrds necessary for a choice. is not vet
fully determined. He is supported by ma
nv in manner just sufficient to secure to
themselves the reversion if he should fail,
and will by their aid be carried very skill
desired gaol, in order to be left there, unless
his real friends give him the last push.
If Gen. Cass, contrary to all expectations,
should not succeed in obtaining the nomi-
nation. then Mr.. Buchanan, being identified
with him. will labor under the same diff
cullies, and be liable to the same exceptions,
and, in that case, Geo. NJ. Dallas, Pennsyl-
vanla's younger son, and the lavorite son of
young Pennsylvania, will be brough, for
ward. As TO the objection raised or rather
attempted to be raised in some quarter that
Mr.. Dallas cannot carry PENNSYLVANIA,
! young Pennsylvania answers that MIR. Dali
las was at the last election of Governor
Skunk, standard bearer of the ta,if of 1916,
carrying the Stale by a ajorilv of $4,000 !
1t is observed here by the members of the
State administration from Pennsylvania,
that what Mr.. Dallas could do for another,
he can q fortiori accomplish for himself
Should all these candidates fail. there are
still Gen. Butler, Gen. Pierce, Gen. Worth
and Gen. Qni,man, in the field, either of
whom may we'll be pelted against General
Taylor.
The Convention may not nominate a Pre-
sIdent Tomorrow. ID.
