THURSDAY EVENING SESSION.
The balloting was continued on Thursday
evening. We gave the results in our telo-
graphic dispatch yesterday. We therefore
give to-day briefsynopsis ofoccurrences.
When the clerk reached the name Of Mis-.
souri,, on the 11th trial. member Of that dele-
cation said that they had discharged their duty
by voting for Cass, and would now votc for
Douglas. Demonstrations ofjoy, and voice:
"Cass is gone. certain"
Just at this point the greatest alarm was
created. Something was heard to break in
the gallery. and its occupants apprehensivc Of
danger, began to press out "Take care" said
/ one, "dont crush me-" "Whats the mst,erl"
/ "My God, you're killing me-" Delegates un-
der the gallery, and nearly every one in tho
hall were in q moment on their feet, inquiring
the cause of the CONSERVATION. Finding that
the structure was not failing, there was gene.
raj shout Of joy and considerable laughter.
The President in vain endeavored to enforce
order, by calling on gentlemen upon the right
and the left. The confusion continued for
nearly five minutes.
| As delegations voted for Buchanr, his
friends applauded; and this salute was returned
when votes were thrown for Cass. There was
!; slight Kissing by other parties.
Col Black. Of Pennsylvania, an alternate.
| rose to question Of privilege, and was met
4 with cries of "sit down." "st down." "hcar
| him!"
1 I'VE OBSERVE" he said, ",hat every time the
vote ef the State is given for Buchanan, there
! are Kisses in the galleries" ["Cries Of mo
hsses." "Gentlemen, we saw and heard it.
and when say this, don't mean to interfere
with the rights and privileges Of others. We
only ask that when votes are cast for Buchan-
( an there may be no Kisses in the galleries"
There was slight Kissing in some quarters,
! which induced Col Black to say, "A1en can't
I put me down by Kisses, here or elsewhere"
| The chair remarked that il Kissing and ap.
plaudiDg should be repeated. he would have
the galleries cleared.
( Mr.. Butler. of Massachusetts, moved that
( the Convention adjourn until nine o'clock to-
morrow. Only fifteen votes were cast in ia
vor Of the proposition.
I After the l7th ballot, thee Convention adjourn
! ed until Friday morning.
