The NewYork Express in referring to the special
session Of the American National Council. which
commenced last Monday in Philadelphia, states
that the session will probably continue until Fri
day the 22nd. when the nominating Convention is
to meet; the delegates.to the one being in many
inetances delegates 10 the other.
1t is believed that the Presidential question will
be discussed in the earlier Council, when the prop
4osition to postpone the nomination will receive
due consideration.
Other important questions, it is said, will also
be delberated upon. and the belief is expressed,
that notwithstanding conflicting interests, har-
mony and good feeling will prevail both in the
Council and Convention
