The Baltimore American thus graphically de-
scribes the closing scenes
| !" The general expectation that the protracted
| labors Of the Convention would be brought to
close and the nomination of candidate for the
Presidency speedily accomplished, gave an inten-
sity to the degree of interest with which the
opening proceedings Of the Convention were
looked for yesterday morning; and at the hour of
meeting the hall presented again the vast congre-
cation Of excited and expectant spectators whose
attendance has been one Of the striking features
of the Convention.
1.-THE calling of the roll for the first and sue
ceeding ballots--the slow but continued charges
which indicated the direction in which the pre-
ference Of the Convention was tending, were
each watched with an earnest an eager interest,
which showed to what extent the feelings and
desires of the thousands assembled-and who in
this respect formed but a reflection of the same
degree Of feeling prevailing throughout every
portion of the country-had been engaged in the
result. The announcement of the vote by which
the nomination Of General Scott was secured was
received with long continued demonstration Of
applause and triumph, by those who had battled
so steadfaStly and manfully for his nomination,
and with respectful silence by those who had
struggled no less courageously and earnestly,
but with less success, for the triumph Of their
preferences.
The reception and reading by Gov. Jones, of
Tennessee, of despatch from Gen. Scott, in
which he accepted the nomination, and briefly
but explicitly placed himself on the broad ma
tional platform which the Convention had estab-
ished, gave, as it was calculated to do, great
satisfaction to the Southern delegates, and af-
forded them the opportunity to exhibit their true
national Wing spirit, in the cordiaity unanimity,
ard graceful waving of personal preference, with
which they, one after another, amid demonstra-
tons of the greatest good feeling and enthusiasm,
gave their adhesion to the nomination, and
! adopted it as worthy Of the unanimous support
of the great Wing party Of the Union.
"The feelings Of cordial unanimty and Of good
understanding which characterized the latter
part Of the mornings session were still more
strongly evidenced on the reassembling in the
evening Of the Convention, in the enthusiasm
with which, on the second ballot, the nomination
Of the Hon. William A. Graham, of North Caro-
lima, as tho candidate for the Vice Presidency,
was unanimously made. The feeling that pre-
vailed was to the greatest extent earnest hearty,
and sincere: all former differences seemed by
common consent at once TO be forgotten, and the
cheers that were given for SCoTT and GRAHAM
were such as to carry with them prestige of
victory and triumph All Of the closing scenes
Of the Convention were indeed Of the happiest
character, and all present were impressed with
the conviction that the Wing party Of the Union
was more firmly united than ever, and that, with
every question Of difficulty amcably and salts
factorily settled, it was prepared to so forth, as
the national aad conservative party Of the Union,
with a united front"
