PHILADELPHIA, June Z, 1855.
Mr. Rayners Course IN the Conusntion-Character Of the
Debates-Gou. Gardner Senator Wilson AMI Judge
Gamble-Arriral Of Delegates" Live Oak" Stock on
the Rise, de-, dc.
regret the unenviabse and unmeritsd position which
one Of your special dispatches assigned to the Hon
X. Raynor of North Carolina. The most undcssrved in
jusce-unin tentionalIy hope-has been awarded that
distinguished gentleman. "Active and busy 'ts true
he has been during the whole progress of the Conven
ton; but not for himself those best versed In hi an
teceden and present movements can well attest but
for the general cause in which he has embarked the
bought energies of most vigorous ntellsct aud pars
patriotism Rayner is not selfish man, and his self
sacrificing, lofty, and magnsnimous bearing coupled
with abilities Of tAs hGbsst order have erected for him
in the hearts Of the American fraternity mem ,nto
more enduring than this ephsmera applause
which results frcm place ana position elevated though
it be to the dignity Of the Vice President of the United
States he so to aspire, the SURFACES Of the
American people, in telling thousands, would be de-
clared from every mountain top and valley and in
of fullest confidence and affection.
The American Catholic question, introduce BY Louis
lana. ELECTED debate Of great power and eloquencs
wisop of Massachusetts,, Boiling, Of Virginia. Pike Of
Arkanaa and other master sprits the prominent
actors and tits believed for strength and potency OF
gument, graceful dicton, biting and genuine
wit and humor, has been seldom surpassed If ever
equaled in the deliberations of the Order regret my
inability TO furnish the outline even.
Gov Gardner and his colleague, Cary, are emneatly
nAtionalsts The Governor is decidedly OF mark
and will at the right time and in the right place make
prominent figure In the convention. AL eyes are
here turned towards him with the fullest confidence and
respect and his national action Massachusetts, will
be abundantly confirmed by his conservative and pat
riotc course here His colleague Wilson. who freely
enunciates his "Union" sentiments here would that
could endorse for the frankness and honesty
but the truth interdcts and must continue to write
him "arch diaturber' and 'tpseudo negro ph;lanthro
pist."
Other and many men OF distinction are here, and
among them, and not the least by any means, is
Judge Gamble Of Missouri, profound jurist and
lawyer of very great abilities But have neither the
space the leisure to specify to any fuller extent
dismiss the theme with tho gener remark that every
State and Territory, in the person OF some
deegates has just to be proud Of its representa-
tion.
The pressure from outside Is hourly becoming more
denae, and as every train arrives and prominent
faces recognized In the crowd discern A. Stevens
and B. Clark member Of Congress from westchester N
r. hosts Of others from every section The hotss
are all crowded and overlooking, and the most
cheer Is being dispensed in all directions.
George Law is gaining ground in the affection Of mem
bsrs from distant States every moment Men who
came here disposed to favor Fillmore see that his
chances hopeless. new man is the order of the
day No old party hack, whose political friends are
known and condemned. The delegates satisfied that
Fillmore If nominated, Kould lose New York and Penn
sylvania and the American party cannot afford that
Northern democrat will be selected for President aud
whig from the South for the Vice Presidency. Law
will be the next President, for the leading Know No
things say thst if Law is nomoated, the demo atic
party viii not make nomination; and this is pretty &C.
nerally believed here If nominated for the Pres
dency, Kenneth Raynor, of whom have spoken go
justly, will probably be the nominee OF the American
party fer the Vice Presidency although Crttsnden Of
Kentucky. and Gentry, of Tennessee talked about
by many embers.
Taken altogether this American convocation has been
sxceedr sy pleasing and the entire absence
all cquism and the free Interchange of sentiment and
opiIion-marked by the pervadpg upanimity to ma
tonalize and fraternize the whole American people
upon the basis of the Constitution ana the Unon-mus
constitute in the dsvelopsmsnt, strength sld
fraternity Of the organization.
