THE STATE OF FEELING.


PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, June IL, 1856.
Some glowing and admirable speeches were
made in the Convention this afternoon which greatly
heightened the existing enthusiasm. Those OF Mr.
Lane, the President of the Convention, and Mr..
Henry Wilson were especially admired. The
mention of Stewards name by Mr.. Wilson was re-
ceived with laundering applause.
The sterling character Of the members Of this
Convention excites universal observation. They
are men fully adequate to the performance of any
part in human affairs.
Another large meeting is held tonight, addressed
by Judge Hoar of Massachusetts, and other mem.
bers Of the Ccnvt ntion.
The progress toward nomination to-day has been
slow. Fremont holds majority Of the Conven.
ton, but his friends do not Press toward ballot.
Meantime Judge MLean's sdherents are very
f.rvent in their oppostiOn. They suggest to.nlsn'
Union ticket. MLean for Presidens, and Ere
mont for Vice President. And some of them feel
confident that IL will be accepted. 1 do not share
it,
The way of the Convention is less clear than
could wished but it is to be hoped that time will
barmonize all divisions. Ballosing may commence
tomorrow, b.. there is strong disposition not to
commence it um.;l the present complications are
,omexbst relieved. This consideration may post
pone it until Thursday There is now every pros
pect that Maine will lead On with the ticket sug'
gested. "S'r

PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, juno II, 1856.
The reception of Senator Wilson in the ConVen'
ton this afternoon was very enthusiastic an. most
fatteripg. His allusion to Senator Seward ~ ne
foremOst American statesman was greeted with
altogether tho loudest cheers and the most given
to-day.
TIE speaking was all very earnest and direct
and put the Convention into tho best Of humor and
the greatest Of spirits.
CaucusiDg and canvassing arc in active progress
tonight The Fremont men are frightened at the
inroads Of the appeals of Pennsylvania for the
nomination of Judge M'Lesn. The Brothers
Washburn Of Congress are hard at work on their
respective delegations for n Lean, and have made
considerable impression in Maine and some in
Illinois Others are waveripg through desire TO
propitiate Pennsylvania, which says al will be
Iost with Col FreRsnt. The bulk Of the lstter's
friends hold Arm, however, and seine of then
threaten to trct cut Mr.. Seward and put him
through, ntbs ALfsn men crowd the explorer
Of the track. think this could be done.
Nr. Banks is still here, though he returns 10
Washington to night. Large delegations from sAe
Nsw-York American Convention are hsre--some
working for M Banks, others for Col. Fremont.
The Committee appointed to wait upon Mr.. Baaks
oDd confer with the Republicans has come on. 1t
is believed Mr.. Banks will keep the matter open
till the Convention has decided its nomination, in
order to take advantage Of any possible contingency

Fremont should be nominated.

'on to Colonel Fremont Is said to be opposition to
Mr.. Banks himself, a. his advocate. There will
probably be brief series of resolutions reported
IN the morning. and after these viii como the
