placed ai the head Of the class that had
ridiculed him. After two months had
passed in hard study, the teacher, nj the
close Of the school one day, called him
up in presence Of all the scholars, and
told him he could not stay there any

down TO bis shoes. He had studied

BALTIMORE, June !.
The committee appointed by the Whig
City Convention has issued nm address
to the Wings Of the Union inviting
them to send large and numerous dele
cations TO the National Convention and
pledging the Hospitality Of the city to all
visiters.
The vote in the Democratic Conven-
ton on the two-lhirds rule is deemed
fatal TO Mr.. Cass. Another Buchanan
caucus is being held TO night. His
friends are very saDguinc. Dickinson's
prospects are also Frightening. .
BALTIMORE, June 2d.-P. NJ.
The fight is still between Cass and
Blu hanan-but the chances of Douglas
are hourly increasing.
The Marcy movement is to all intents
ana purposes dead On every ballot
made, douglas will draw oil from both
Cass and Buchanan and it is thought
on the fourth ballot, he will be a strong
er man than the latter.
The crowd in the Convention il i'm.
mense. Not less than one thousand
claim seats us delegates.
EVENING SESSION.
The Convention rc-rssembled at 6 o.
clock, AND after some little delay pro-
ceeded TO business.
A Committee consisting Of one from
caca State was appoin.ed TO draw up
resolutions.
Mr.. Nabors. Of Mississippi, submitted
resolutions that the nomination OF Presi-
dent be not proceeded with until the
platform be Iaid down.
This gave rise 10 y long and very ex-
citing debate, when the resolutions were
finally laid on the ,able-yeas l55, nays
Ill.
majority and minority reports. The
trouble with regard 10 delegations from
Gcorgin, caused long and acrimonious
debate, during which, there was the
most intense excitement. Without taxi

lourned until tomorrow.
