assembled at the Front Street Theatre, on
the 18th. at 10. o clock A. NJ, and at IL
was called to order by the President, Ca
leb Cushing. Mr.: Howard, of Tennessee,
offered resolution that tickets be issued
to all the members originally constituting

ing amendment: 5s g. ;,

Mr.. Gilmore, of Pa, then offered the
following amendment to Mr.; Church's
amendment: I
Resozvcel, That the President of the
Convention be authorized to issue tickets
to the delegates from Texas, Mississippi,

MIR. Gilmore afterwards withdrew this
amendment, upon condition that Mr..
Church would modify his resolution,
which he did, making it read as follows !:
Resolved, That the credentials of all
persons claiming seats in this Convention,
made vacant by the secession of delegates
at Charleston, be referred to the Commit
tee, which is instructed to report as soon
as practicable, the names Of those entitled
to seats.
The Convention had quarrelled over
the foregoing resolutions all Of the first
day and the morning session Of the Sec
ond :; and when Mr.. Church altered his
resolution to read as above, the Conven-
ton adjourned until 5 P. NJ. At that
hour they reasscmbled, and spent the entire
evening session in pickering on unimpor-
tant subjects, adjourning 10 o'clock next
morning. It is nothing but talk, talk,
talk no business Of any kind done.
The consumption Of whiskey is ire
mendous, although the supply is equally
so. Two due1s are likely to come off inn
mediately after the adjournment of the
Convention one between two Virginia
F. F. VS., the other between two, Arkan-
sas members. 49,. ,r.-.

On the 23d, Doug las was nominated
on the I'd ballot, receiving l743 votes =
while the necessary number for two-t thirds
vote was 202-and was declared the NOM
inee for President. Fitzpatrick, Of Ala
bama, was afterwards nominated for the
Vice Presidency. The following States
which had seeded from the Convention,
before the nomination of Douglas, either
in whole or in part, viz: Virginia, North
Carolina, Missouri, California, Oregon,
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Minneso-
ia, New York, Massachusetts,, and partial
representations from some of the other
States formed a Convention at the same
place on the Gath, and on the evening Of
the same, nominated John G. Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, for President, and Joe Lane,
Of Oregon, for Vice President which is
a much stronger ticket than Douglas and
Fitzpatrick. The most bitter and denun-
ciatory speeches were made by both fac
tons. It is more and more apparent that
"Old Abe" is destined to crush the entire
Democratic party. - S,@,i ~. 60
