Congressional Convention.

COuSTcSSlOudit CONVENTIONS
We are indebted TO a friend for the
following account Of the proceedings Of
the Petersburg Convention:
This body assembled at Petershurgh oil
Wednesday. Sept. 50, and was oresuized at
Q o'clock. A. NJ, by the election OF William
Hawthorne. of Pike, President, nd all the
Democratic editors of the District SECRETARIES.
A rule was adopted making a vote of two
thirds necessary for II nomination, and al
lowing each County one vote in Convention
for every one hundred votes cast for Buchar
nan at the Presidential election, and one vote
additional for each fraction exceeding fifty.
According to this basis, Posey County was
entitled to is votes; Vanderburgh, 10; War
rick, Is; Spencer. -; Dubois, IL; Pike, 8;
Gibson, ID; Knox. Is; Davies, Il ; Martin.
S-total. 1S2 necessary to choice, s..
A series Of resolutions were adopted, ap-
proving tn. principles enunciated in the Gin
cinnati platform; denouncing the Know
Nothings and Republicans, and welcoming
national men OF all parties to the Democratic
ranks; endorsing the State and National nd
ministrasion approving of an extra session
of the Legislature charging the tactious
spirit manifested in the Legisatu last VIM
ter. upon the Republican party endorsing
the election Of Bright and Fitch to the U s.
Senate endorsing the Congressional career
OF Col. Smith Miller; and lastly, expressing
regret ut the death of Hon. James Lockhart.
After the adoption OF the resolutions, the
balloting commenced. The first ballot le-
suited rs follows: 81 for Hovey; 10 for Nib
lack: 10 for Parre.: Is for Miller; IL for Ba-
zil b. Ednonson, and AZ for Law. Very
little change was effected until about twelve
o'clo k, when the Convention adjourned for
dinner, the canvas had narrowed down
to Law, Hovey, Parrett and Niblack. The
fourteenth ballot stood-44 for fIovey; AZ for
Law; 81 for Niblack, and 5 tor Parrett.
In the afternoon Judge Laws vote ran up
to 30, being the first majority vote given tor
any candidate. The canvas now began to
narrow down to Judges Law and Nib,ack.
Judge Hovey rarely receiving me re than the
vote of his own county. Judge Law recev-
cd highest vote more frequently than ali
| the other candidates combined, fact which
must be gratifying to his friends even in de-
| feat, as it clearly indicates that he was the
first choice of at least a majority of the del
cgates. The ballottine continued without
much variation, till about 10 o'clock at night
when the name of Judge Hovey was with
drawn and his friends united with those of
Judge Niblaek, who was nominated on tho
Judge Law. Vunderhu gh and Knox were
the only counties which voted for Judge Law
on the final ballot.
A resolution was then adopted that the
next convention be held ut Princeton, when
the body adjourned.

The principal candidates were Judge

but continued to vote throughout for
her own favorite till the last ballot, when
she went for the nominee. TIE counties
of Daviess, Martin and Dubois, adhered
in every ballot to Judge Niblack, and BY
their devotion finally secured him the
nomination. The two thirds rule was
adopted. and the last ballot which took
place At ten O'Clock at night, resulted as
