CINcISHATI, Saturday. May 81, 1856.
Large numbers of dele gates have arrived to-day,
and the delegations from most of the Statcs are now
nearly corplete. This afternoon has been spent in
the organization Of the different delegations and pro
vidng for filling vacancies from New York. The
Hafds have only five vacancies; larger number OF
SOfts absent. The prospect for the admission of
the H0rGs appears most favorable Louisiana being
strongly in their favor, with Georgia. Maine and other
buchanan Staee.
The Sofs, who are very quiet, are endeavoring to
persuade the Douglas men that there is bargain be-
tween Buchanan and the Hards The DOnglas men
generally appear desirous of recOncng the New FORK
difference by dividing the delegations. Douglas Is
apparently losing ground in Tennessee and iadlana,
and Br chanan on the gain. The Soft delegation from
Eew-foik have this evening appointed an EXeeutlys
Committee, consisting of Israel Hatch; william IL.
