over the defeat Of the Barker party 10 the Council
After the erection Of the platform charges were made
by parties said to be tools of Bakers against Far
rDgton, the Secretary Of the Council, relative to some
of the financial affairs of the concern but the matter
was regarded as persecution against Harrington and
the Barker faction was again discounted.
Gen. Scroggs and Erastus Brooks were chosen dele

for the Presidency at Cincinnati next year.

upon s happy issue out Of all lite troubles and upon
the prospects before them Of victory.
There has been considerable conflict fopinon with
reference 10 the numbers in attendance upon the Coun
ell. II is claimed by members OF the Council that
there have been six hundred delegates in attendance

dred and fifty delegates il Is probably liberal to say
that four hundred persons, delegates and fugemen all
told. have been present. This is but slight attexd

burst If it attempted to swallow them. On the sec md
DAY the opponents Of tho twelfth section were stronger
and moro determined and il was found that the only
way to preserve the harmony of the American party
in the State was TO pursue the course which has been
pursued. Delegates confess TO day that II the Ordcr

nothing but atoms in one years tmo would have re-

Tie Council continues its sessions to-day for the
appointment Of Committees and other business Of no
general interest. The attendance is slim. All Of the

night will probably close the session.
