Before the ballot was announced, there be-
ing some delay in consequence of the absence
OF Virginia, Col. Green's resolution introduced
before the call of the roll was re-ofierod and

suit. Mr.. Leake of that State, moved that the
rules be suspended, in order that the report of
the committee On the democratic creed or plat
form might be read.

be ready unil Tomorrow morning.
Dir. Leuke stated, in justice TO himself that
the gentleman announced this morning that
the committee was ready 10 report. [Several
voices No such thing."] He appealed TO
the gentleman if he did not say so. He un-
cersIOod now that the report was not ready -
He knew not what changes have been made;
but last night they agreed to a platform, and
he would die by it.
The Virginia delegation returned and cast
their vote for Buchanan, as heretofore. This
OccGs ioned much merriment.

Nothing occurred meantime bey ond the break

the public seemed to Le on the increase ,judg
ing by the going away of the thousands of
soyereigns who we've unable to obtain entrance
into the densely crowded galleries.
The Virginia delegation again retired for
consultation, but did not desert Buchanan.

that gentleman. The Cass vote went up from
80 20 64.
Mr.. Barbour said it must be obvious to every
member Of the convention that their proceed
ings had reached point when consultation
among the several delegations became neces-
sary. In order TO afford time for such consul
tation, ne moved that the convention adjonrn
unit! to-rnorrow morning.
This was loudly voted down.
The thirty second vote was proceeded with,
and as State delegations who had gone off
from Cass returned their first choice, there was
terrific applause all over the hall.

Missouri having come back to her first choice,
there were loud hurras, stamping of feet

changes for Cass, were followed by similar
expressions of joy.

wanted the American democracy to know this.

Mr. E. Barksdale, of that State, asked the
privilege of making statement. The cries of
''order," were deafening while the gentlema
es5ayed TO speak, and the President, in vain,
endeavorrd TO enforce comparative quiet.
Mr.. Barksdale finally made himself heard,
TO the delriment ofhis lungs, and replied to Mr..
Nabers by saying that he had letter from the
President Ofthe Convention, which appointed
Dir. Nabers a delegate, iii which If was said
that Cass is not the choice of fifty democrats
IN Mississippi, and that if nominated he would
lose the electoral vote OF the State.
The Virginia delegation, who had refited
Tor consultation preparatory to the thirty

Cass; but there was disappointment in this
particular. The dense masses were tolerably
