The President making continues charming md
the weather refreshingly warm.
Tie Buchanan men are III high glee ibis morn
ing. The Ohio delegates. by close canvass
made this morning. stand buchanan 2s Doug
las 90 This is gain for Buchanan of ten
votes.
After raising the three committees Yesterday
the Convention diligently applied itself to Ca,aw-
ha aud Rasconade. All the factions invited TO
kill of Buchanan aud bis supporters had a great
time at their head quarters where Charley Car
rgan, Of Philadelphia. madea rousing speech for
Buchanan. The Buchanan men feel pretty nice
and took all the even bets TINT were offered, but
did not give odds.
The committees went 10 work in the evening;
and think of the suferings Of ninety. three gentle
men sitting with closed doors and the thermnm-
eter standing at ninety! The Credential Com
mttee had the hardest time Of all, hearing the
Missouri case.
The Atchson men accused the Bentoninns Of
free soil proelivities. while the Bentonans said
there were eleven ''Know Nothings" in the eigh.
teen Atchison delegates,
Thi. is the charge made against the New York
hards, who have seen Know No,hings in their
delegation.
The Missouri question was argued by two
persons ON each side, an hour each. and the
session Of I he committee prolonged till mid.
night.
The Atehison delegates being admitted, the
New York hards quoted it favorable prece-
dent so Judge Beardsley and ex- Governor Sey-
mcur went 10 work at their thirty one victims.
The Convention opened at ten with a great
display Of fans. perspiration aud white linen
The permanent President, Mr.. Ward n gentle.
man of fine presence, and apparently good par
Humanitarian. made II neat speech and the Con
vention settled the Missouri business by admit
ting the Atchison men. The democracy then
amused itself by debating what it would do with
the vncant seats. and II gallant old gentleman
from Connecticut tried to get place for the la
dies, who arc pouting with unsatisiied curiosity
The nutmeg Lovelaoe was coughed down and
the ladies laid on the table.
Mr. Petit. of Indiana, said no would rather Il
thousand times sea anything that wore panta.
looms in the galleries than anything that
pettieoats.
The debate on the gallery question was not in
teresting. The Buchanan men desired that the
galleries should be thrown OPEN in order that
they might pack them with ciaqners. The mat
ter was finally passed over, and tho Convention
took recess till four o'clock.
The delegates from Indiana met this morning
and agreed unanimously tn present the name
of Benz. Fitzpatrick, of Alabama. their unani
nous choice for Vice President. and that they
inform other delegations of that fact.
Two to ona is offered Buchanan. Takers
scarce.
Tho Convention came together at o'clock,
with small attendance Mr.. Salisbury. of Del
aware, made an attempt to get members of Con
grcss on the floor. 1t opposed by Mr.. Smith,
of Alabama, upon the ground that the Conven'
ton was held here to get rid of members of Con
Gress. The thing fell through and as there was
no other business, Mr. Childr, of Connecticut,
l..
about the democracy of Windham county, and
then the Convention adjourned.

doors. David l.. Seymour opened for the hards
and spoke an hour aud a half, and was followed
by Gov. Seymour. There will DO no report Till
tomorrow, but it is said by the hards that "A ma
joriiy of tho committee favor them. Both parties
ARE in great trbnaiion rs to the result. They
will probably be admitted,so as to ncutralise their
vote This seems to be the impression this even
ing.
We had voice from Indiana this morning.
In the debate on admitting persons to the gale
ries, Mr.. Borden said that he advocated the re-
moval of the Convention from Baltimore to Gin
clnna,i not only on oceount of Congressional in
Huenee, but also for the purpose of getting rid Of
influence of the Executive upon the Delegates
Indiana will be bitterly opposed 10 Pierce. and
by consequence to Doug las; because Mr.. Pierce
attacked Mr.. Bright, and he will feel the oonse
quenceS of one at his numorou, blunders.
The sotts are in very good humor. They are
told that ma oriiy of the Credenta Committee
are in favor of division of the New York delega
ton which will give them majority; but there
will be- two reports, and the whole matter may be
thrown again upon the Convention. This is bad
