1t was amusing lust evening 70 see the eur
nestness Q! the politicians from different parts
Of the State. All entered into the merits of l-e-
compton aud Auh-Lcconptou, Is though thut
was lhe great issue Of the day. The Lecomp-
touites number four 70 one Of the Auiis mud
give tt4 latter DO show at all, but browbeat
them cp"n all occasions. The only chance the
Anti Leconploui,es will have 10 seuthcr foot in
the Convention is to nai!ow every pill that the
other side brings to them, whether The old-fash-
ioued blue pill OF the new sugar one; from pres.
ent indications the former viii be the only pill
that will be offered to them, nnd that with
double dose a1 c4loMll aud enou b atrychnne
to Affect the back bone.
A. 10 the candidates, MI throughout the even
ing the chances OF General Z. Y. &. Wright
seem to predorninate. de is the representative
OF the Leromp.on side, and the second choice
Of Camden aud AuboY. Ar. Herring, tue first
where; and Skeiton, the choice Of the anti-Le
comptoni.es, had but a mcagre show his friends
were e1ceed!uKly nervous, and exhibited sFNp
toms Of spssH's Ut any allusi0n TO his not bcing
Simon Pure Democrat That Was the great
question of the evening: Is le good Democrat:
-Has be boiled cur ,lckett-W,Il be vote for
ans person nominated Are you willing to sub
nit " the action Of the MS jorlt,S Those we're
questions thrown into the face OF every anti-Le-
comptonite that dared to show lis f4ce, who re-
taliA1ed b! saying" ! Gu are opposed 10 pence"
&c kc A iooker-on would have decided i'm
preston thRt the whole batch waa an extreme
II unhappy family" and if they were put in
Z bag together aud hhaken up there would b. no
finding tie Simon Pures.
EEery thing indicated tue nomination Of
Wright during the entire evening. TIE Essex
equity dcle:utiou, sixty-two ia number, de-
cidsd to cas. ibeu vots Tor him, and almost ev-
erfy other county where the delegates expressed
. choica Wright held An equal number, If not
majority, Tie nomination Of Wright will be
more tlan The aoti-l.ecomptonites are willing TO
swallow, who threaten TO set up By themselves
II he il nominated. The tenacity with which
zach hide clings TO their special plans and ideas
Of Simon-pureism, indicates = decidedly warm
time in The Convention, and unless The Lecomp
4onites ro.c tue other side down without show
ing them Any mercy, ~ may look for q three
dsys' session. The movements last night ex.
hihit+d great propensity to talk on both sides,
ssen together.
Long before the hour Of IL N. the de1egates
