American or Know Nothing party ressembled yesterday
mOrnmg the Apollo Rooms, this being the sixth day Of its
rotaced session. The feeling of the Convention seems
20 have turned right about last evening and
she general opinion is that Mr. Fremont will be nom
mated soon after the meeting shall have been organized.
The outsiders lose opportunity OF expressing their con-
vicon that there is salvation for the reuegades
N reformation and return back TO the bosom of the
holy catholic Know Nothing Order, with Willard Fillmore
as hope and guiding star. But they impenitent,
and each of them to have made up his mind to
hold and prove himself like the Gaour in the Siege Of
Cornthn-
- TO the last renegade.
The sudden change that has taken place in the sentiment
of the Convention regard to Mr. Fremont Is attributable
fact that thai gentleman waited on last night by
q delegation from this party, with whom he had long
and conabuaton extending into the small hours of
the morungtlnt he then there declared himself
reservedly in favor of the principles Of the Know No
thing party and would give them his entire and cordial
adherence, and that he perfectly convinced that
he did not receive the support Of the American party
throughout the Union he had not the slightest prospect Of
being elected.
We do not vouch for the truth of all this We merely
give 1t the dit Of delegaesor rather, We should
