Convention, many persons were waiting in the
neighborhood oil tho Hall, for the purpose OF
gaining admission soon as the doors should be
open. The fair daughters of the Monumental
City" appear to participate fully in the excite
ment of the time, and were in attendance at an
early hour to occupy the East gallery, which they
filled IN every part. and number of them lnva-
ded the North and South galleries, thus expell-
ing some of the sterner sex from their quarters.
The result of the ballotings last evening, has
eft the final result in doubt, and much anxiety ap-
pears to be manifested by the friends of the various
candidates as to which of the three good men be-
fore the Convention shall finally be successful.
The President called the Convention to order

Daring the taking of the eighth ballot, there
appeared to be some misunderstanding among the
| delegates from Vermont, as to how the vote OF
| that State should be cast-when each delegate
announced his vote separately.
There being no choice, the Convention procee-
ded to the
NINTH BALLOT.
which resulted as follows: Webster 90, Fillmore

the eighth, except that Webster gained one vote
in New Hampshire, and Scott one in New Y ork,

the same as on the 10th ballot, except that

Fillmore.
The following is the result of the
TWELFTH BALLOT.
Fillmore 100; Scott 1874; Webster 49, No
change from the last ballot. One Fillmore dele.
gate from Virginia did not vote.
The interest of all in attendance, during the Ia
king of the several votes, appears be intense, but
as the final result is yet in the dark, there is
parative quiet pervading the Hall-the friends Of
neither of the candidates feeling sufficiently
elated to make any loud demonstration of gratif-

vote sufficient to indicate any result
THIRTEENTH BALLOT.
Webster %; Fillmore 100; Scott 134-no
change from the last ballot.
