New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1852-06-18
another Sketch.

The excitement, like the weather, is a,
fever heat.
The meeting last night in Monument square
was largely attended, and a number Of eloquent
speeches were made. The intense heat kept the
people in the streets until very late hour, dis.
cussing the merits and probabilities Of the suc-
cess of the various candidates for the nomination
After the adjournment of the Convention, a
large number of the Delegates in favor Of WEB
sTER held caucus at Carroll Hall, and it was de-
termined to adhere to him as long as his name
was before the Convention.
Hon. MOSES III. GRNNELL, a WEBSTER Delegate
from New-York, declared 10 caucus last night
that it was his unalterable purpose to secure the
nomination of Dir. WEBSTER, he being the most
eligible candidate, and one upon whom the North
and South would very generally unite.
The outside influence in favor of Mr.. WEBSTER
is immense, there being moro Eastern people here
than was ever before known.
On the ether hand the friends of General Scorr
are coming up boldly to the rescue, and his par
tizans freely assert that the document which he
has prepared and deposited in the hands ola friend,
will give every satisfaction-he declaring therein
that the Compromise and other exciting topics re-
ceive his most hearty approval, and should it be
his fortune to be elected President that the Con-
stitutOR will be most strictly. adhered to, and that
every thing shall be done that lies in his power to
allay the irritable feelings which prevail to more
or less extent between the North and South.
The Fillmore men do not seem at all discouraged,
but on the contrary are earnestly pushing forward
to secure his nomination.
They are determined to defeat ScOTT, even il
they are compelled to throw their influence in the
scale of Mr.. WEBSTER.
Indeed, some Of the most prominent openly as
sert that itisthe expressed wish OF MIR. FILLMORE,
should there be difficulty in obtaining his nomi-
nation, that they then unite upon Mr.. WEBSTER,
and the report circulated some days since with re-
gard to Mr.. FILLMORE having prepared letter.
to be read in the Convention, resigning all claims
in favor of MIR. WEBSTER, is again currently ru-
mored.
1t is thought that the committee will all be pre-
pared to report at days session, and that the
ballots will be taken about tomorrow afternoon.
The only serious difficulty apprehended is the
contested seats, and the Southern platform, which
the members from those States insist upon intro
ducing and voting thereon previous to the ballot
ing.
The ScorT men do not like the latter arrange
ment, and will do all they can to defeat it.
Should they attempt any thing of the kind, it
may lead to a row, as some of the Southern Dele
cations distinctly assert that unless this PROPOSE
ton of theirs is carried, they will leave the Con-
vention.
General LESLIE CooMBs delivered beautiful
and eloquent speech in reply to Mayor GmPls, of
Philadelphia, yesterday, on behalf of the Ken
lucky Delegation, to whom that gentleman had
presented large medallion likeness of HENRY
CLAY.
Eleren Oeloek.-The crowd around the hall is
momentarily increasing, and already some ten
thousand persons are in the immediate vicinity Of
the building.
ScoTT's stock la. taken sudden turn and is
apparently advancing. His friends are in fine
spirits and say that they will cheerfuly adopt the
platform Of tie Southern States, including the
Compromise, Fugitive Slave Law and all.
Should this prove the case, the platform will be
easily carried. His friends further say that they
will want but fifteen votes to secure his nomina-
ton on the first ballot. Nearly the entire days
session will be spent in arranging platform and
deciding on credentials.
The Scorr party are in favor Of the majority of
the delegations, including aternates, casting the
vote Of each State.
If this be adopted, ScorT has decidedly the ad-
r. al ax uI.datac
EDWARD BATES, of Missouri, is again much
talked of to-day for the Vice-Presidency. The
friends Of ScoTr very generally accept him as
their candidate and it is quite probable that he
will receive the nomination.
The caucussing and speaking was kept up last
night until after 70 o'clock. Among the speakers
in Monument-square were Hon. JOHN NJ. CLAY
TON, Gen. LESLIE CooMBs, and Hon. GEO. ASH
NUN.
Mr. WERsTERs friends are working manfully,
while the Fimoreites are rather quiet, though
sanguine.
The correspondent Of The Philadelphia Bill
letin says: All kinds of speculation, are ahoat
this morning with reference to the result OF the
Convention. At Barnum's Hotel | saw thousands
of dollars wagered against half the amount on
Soorr, and the next moment the same odds were
wagered on Webster.
The Pennsylvania Delegation remains firm for
Soorr, first and last. Ex-Gov. JOHNSTON, who
exerts controlling influence in the Pennsylvania
Delegation, is, Of course, out against WEBSTER
If the Southern resolutions of yesterday are
adopted by the Convention, Scorr will be nom

adopted, several Southern States will withdraw

between the Northern and Southern divisions,

Other reports say that If the Southern resolu-
