The full daily reports by telegraph to THE

or by accepting Bur hansn stteBlpt tO swinde the

virtue, what they question their ability to secure
through an open and direct asest II. The issue is
20 sooI to be developed that | need not speculate
upon its details.
In its President, Mr.. WARD of Georgia, the
Cow enton has an admirable presiding officer lie
executes bis duties much in the style of SPeste
Banks though with less grace and tact Mr.
Ward has been Speaker Of the Georgia House Of
Representatives, but has heretofore I'd no fame
out of his own State. Barring the misreprescnta-
ton Of the Republicans as not only labOring for
the destruction Of the Union, but desiring it, bis
speech on taking the chair this morning. was IN
good taste and ,ctiye. 1t was not quite the
true thing, however, to tell party, the half OF
whose representatives, at least, are cOurtPg Auti
Nebraska and old Wing votes in the North by
fshy nomination that they alone of all the parties
in the country desired no affiliations, and made no
concessions or compromises.
The ball where the Convention is assembled
just comfortably holds the 6UO delegates on it's
main floor. The occupancy OF tho galleries, OF
about equal capacity, is matter OF much dispute.
There 10 . great pressure outside to get In; but
the space is so limited that is out of the question
TO undertake to satisfy all, or even the halt. The
door has been shut against the ladies both rudely
and repeatedly, delegates even indulging in ribad
tests in inveigbing against their entrance. There
are several hundred, real and pretended, repre-
sentatives Of the press, who have sought ad-
mission. The leading reporters and correspond.
ents have tables on the platform; the rest have
been admitted to sight seats in the galleries. but
these may have to give way to satisfy the demands
of supernumerary and advisory delegates Of which
class some States have great number
here. Mississippi for instance, has about
one hundred men here, by appointment.
The Benton delegation from Missouri were shut
OF to-day, without single voice in their favor.
Such 10 the fate of Democracy that sustans the
doctrine and practice Of every Democratic Presi-
dent and Congress from Washington to Pierce, aud
repudiates the modern dogma of squatter sove
reigbty, and its successor denying the right of
Congress to govern the Territories. The deegA-
6OB, and Col. Benton, will remain in the city
during the stay Of the Convention, in the hope,
probably, that something shall turn up" in their
favor, directly indirectly. Such they would
copsder the nomination of Buchanan. They would
70 home rejoicing over 1t, as the rebuke Of Pierce
ant lyouslas and Border Rufianism 1t would un-
doubtedly give them a temporary vantage ground
ut home.
In spite of the great crowd and intense excite
ment, there has prevailed, thus far, both in and
out Of the Convention, a gre ater degree OF decency
immense amount Of drinking, but no drunkenness
as Yet. Undoubtedly this is greatly owing to the
fact that the native wine and lager beer the pecu-
liar drinks of Cincinnati, are abundant and CRATE
ful and tale the place of, while doing far less
mischief than, the hot and rebelliOus fluids which
American intensity most generally absOrbs.
