THE CROWD.

The large throng with whom we travelled
over from Washington reached this city this
morning at two o'clock, the railroad connec-
tion having been made all through owing to
the politeness and spirit Of Accommodation
characterizing the management Of the great
route Of travel via the Baltimore and Ohio,
OHIO Central, and Little Miami railroads. A
slight arrangement of an engine, and the mar
tyrdom of few fat cattle, caused sonne little
over for from twelve to twenty -four hours but
for the spirit of accommodation to which we
refer above, which, by the by, on that route,
always in.ures a continuous trip between the
coast cite. and this emporium Of the West,
when the traveller does not desire to stop by
the way.
There are believed to be, this morning,
about eleven thousand strangers in Cincinnati,
who came to attend the Convention as dele
gates, slternates, lobby members, excitement
hunters, politicians, showmen, pedlers, news
paper men, and the Lord knows what else
Three-fourths Of those who throng the halls
of the Burnett House at this moment (Which
NUNS Hotel, Baltimore, when similar i'm
portant affair was in progress in that city in
1S46, and again in 1851, are now electioneer-
ing for Mr.. Buchanan, as the same sort of peo-
pie electioneered in 1852 for General Cas-

The different delegations Of the different large
States have headquarters in the Burnett
House.. g., reception rooms-which are con-
stautly crowded by persons from their respec-
tive States principally. The Pennsylvania
room, ofcourse, contains most persons, as Penn
sylvanis has sent olarge an electioneering del
egation here. few moments ago their band of
music was at work there, while in another cor
ners ONE one was sndeavorirg to make himself
heard as an advocate for the nomination of
Mr. Buchanan above the inteIminable din of
the dozen brass pieces which made the place
unbssrable; the accompanying buzz Of hun
dreds of voices being anything but an accon-
paniment in accord with them.
Mr.. John Petit, of Indiana, appears to be
the most active Northwestern Buchanan men
on the ground, though every one now here
from that region who looks with disfavor, Sc
cret or avoued, upon the Nebraska kansas
act, Is doing his best for Mr.. B. So manifest
Is this tendency of the gentlemen referred to
above, as that it is really doing more to pre-
vent Mr.. Buchanan's nomination than the
vehement electioneering Of his hos. of outside
frends to bring about that event. Up to this
hour 1t Is impossible to say how Virginia will
vote on the first ballot. The Buchanan men
OF course claim her, though 1 cannot make
the figures come out so. Her course will be
determined by the votes of the different dis.
trlct delegations as such. Mr. Buchanan has
SIX Of them and some members of other dis.
trict delegations; but not enough to secure
him the eight rhole district delegations ne
cessary to cast Virginia's vote for Linn. I
shall not be surprised if Mr.. Hunter receives
her vote on the frst ballot
The Mississippi delegation met this morn
Ing numbering fifty nine, and by vote of
all but three Of them, determined to cast the
vote Of the State for Pierce, and passed res

This resolution was offered by Mr. Singleton,

OF the nomination. Strong efforts are being
made TO make combinations likely to effect

whatever, regarding it as a tub thrown to
