Briggs and Carter, of New York. it is
said, are wavering. Pugh, of Ala, did not
vote for Bocock. He went for Mcqueen, of
South Carolina. Morris, of Pa, went for
/ Sherman. Any speculation as to the result
is idle.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-Great prepara-
tions are being made for grand National
, Union meeting irrespective of party, ex-
pressive of the sense of the people Of this
city, and denouncing the Abolition and ia
natical meetings which have recently out
ragged and disturbed our community. a BILE
! speakers at home and from abroad will ad-
dress the meeting, which comes off at Jayne's
/ Hall, Wednesday evening next. Much splr-
/ it is manifested, and it is expected to be the
| largest meeting ever held in the Quaker
city.
From the New York Tribune.
The last dispatches concerning the San
Juan affair, relieve all practical difficulty on
the island. Gov. Douglass and Admiral
Baynes both being satisfied with the course
pursued here, and the Joint occupation is
now restored. Nothing but the original
difference respecting the title remains in dis
pute. The Message will only refer to it
briefly as q question under negotsation
likely to be adjusted amicably, and none of
the papers will be communicated to Con-
gress.
The Chinese treaty will be returned to
the Senate to revise the date, though the
Imperial Commissioners exchanged ratifica-
tions without regarding the fact that the
specified time had elapsed.
The President will decide Tomorrow uDon
the proposed government commission to ex-
anime the Boston harbor. There is a favor
able disposition towards sending General
Totten, Prof. Bache and Capt Davis
The documents from the State Depart
ment, accompanying the message, will not
be voluIninous. Mr.. Prestons correspond
ence with Spain, the circular on neutral
rights, and others, Will constitute the bulk.
No expectation is entertained by the ad-
ministratiOn that Mr.. Forsyth can make a
treaty in Mexico, or enter into any satisfac-
tory arrangement. The President considers
an armed Intervention necessary for the pro-
lection OF our citizens, and, as a precaution-
airy measure, to anticipate a seizure by some
other nation, before a total disruption. Eng
land has lntimated willingness to our pos
session, leaving the payment of her debt to
future contingencies.
The Message will not be sent to the SEN
ate, as stated in the Herald but will be re-
tanned for the organization of the House, |
and looking to the possibility of requiring |
alterations at the last moment
The Southern Opposition have not all ar
rived, but the sentiment towards q COOP |
Grafton, as understood from informal con- |
terences, is somewhat embarrassed. They |
are willing to take Northern Speaker, but /
claim the privilege of selection, being ready /
TO make similar concession as to Clerk
they Will meet tomorrow and EXCHANGE
views. As some Northwestern and Eastern |
friends object to the general conference sug-
gested by the Pennsylvania delegation, a
call will probably not be issued, and no eau
Gus OF any kind be held. The plan now is
to go into the House aud vote directly for
officers, with the expectation of the ultimate
adoption of the plurality rule, unless pres
ent indications be changed. Leading Dem
ocrats have proposed to Southern Americans
to sustain any candidate for Speaker they
may indicate as basis of fusion but the
proposition has not been accepted, and will
not be entertained by several. The Ohio
and Pennsylvania delegations are now in
session.
The Pennsylvania delegation has ad
ourned- 1t has concluded to suspend is
suing call for general conference of the
Opposition until after another consultation
At IL o'clock Tomorrow, when it is hoped
hat positive information viii determine its
policy conclusively.
