THE SENATORIAL CoNFERENCE.


Contrary to the expectation Of the ltepub
Ecans of this District, the Senatorial Cou1er
ence which met at Camptown, adjourned on
"Wednesday morning, without chectils nom
ination. One hundred aud niueiy-two ballots
were had, the Conferees adhering genenHy to
she choice of their respective counties. though
a vote or two was changed occasionally, as u
matter Of variety, and policy probably, Tue
last ballot stood Myer ., JesSup 4, Smith ),
Not as stated by Us last week.
From all we can learn, there seemed to be
no disposition manifested BY the friends Of eth
er Of the candidates to yield their preferences
for the welfare of the party and as a nomi-
nation appeared impossible at that time, it was
thought best to adjourn and afford time fcraS-
certaiuiug the sentiments and wishes gf lie
people,
The Conference meets again accoring to
adjournment, at the same place, on Monday
next. The prolonged voting, aud difficulty Of
agreement have heightened the iutgre>, With
which the Republicans OF the District await
IFS action, anu deepened the anxiety ielt that
the result shall be such as ain contribute TO
the welfare and harmony OF the party Il is
not our place 10 pgo1cr any advice As 10 tie
manner of arranging the oliicuIty, because
each County has selected Conferees 10 whose
hands is placed fun mower TO act n such man
ner as in their judgment is proper with due
regard I'd Tic interests .. The l-al l..,S aaa
