SECOND DESPATCH.

BALTIMORE, May ell A. NJ.
The crowds ut the hotels have been consider
ably augmented this morning, by the arrival OF
more delegates and outsiders.
The National Committee have held a meeting
10 talk over matters, but do not seem at all to
understand the necessity Of preliminary ar
rangements for the organization Of the conyen-
ton.
Erastus Brooks Of New York, and Marshall
=. Wilder Of Massachusetts,, are both consid-
cred candidates for the Presidency of the Con-
vention, but there is no general concentration
on any one.
Alfred ID. Ely of Boston is here, laboring
with all his might to defeat the supposed wishes
of the Massachusetts delegates.
"Young America" is doing his best for Sam
Houston, who appears to be gaining strength
every hour.
There are two pretty clearly defined sections
in the convention. One is composed OF men
who wish to construct an entirely new party.
The other is made up Of men who merely want
TO revive old organizations. Houston's success
will be the defeat OF the latter.
The New York delegation have just met and
voted on candidate informally. Houston re-
ceiyed 80 out Of IS votes.

TIE INsoLyEsT Bml.-We have already announced
that Gov Morgan has determined to withhold his sig
nature from the Insolyent b passed at the last
sion Of tie Legislature The albany Ereaiag Journal
referring TO the decision Of the Governor, says:
He has come 10 this conclusion, because he is con-
WINGED that the bill is defective in important respects
ard must fail 10 answer the purpose sought by its
friends. 1t is defective, because il applies the same
rule debts due from trustees guardians, executors
and Others acting in fducary capacity, as TO or
binary business debts; and makes no distinction be-
tween the trustee who has msused the trust funds and
the honest who has been unfortunate in business
Ii fail TO answer the purpose sought by ais friends
because so far il affects debts existing at the time
Of its passage must he declared by the Courts to be

tues nothing, except provision which, 80 far az It
relates to existing debts, must be nugatory. The bill,
therefore would place those who are now under a
burden of debt in worse condition than at present by
giving them no mode of discharge whatever.
In the opinion Of the Governor, law would be
wise one which should relieve from an ntolerable load
of debt, impossible to pay any man who has dealt
fairly both in the contraction OF the debt and IN the
management of his property. But to increase the
present temptations TO reckless speculation and exrava

CORRECTIONS.

T. the Editor Of Then Y Tribune
SIR: Allow me TO contradict emphatically the as
serion Of your correspondent, that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, or its officers and employees, took
any part at all in late municipal elections The
beet proof of this is the fact that the Directors Of the
Railroad have chosen a terminus the Delaware, at
the foot Of Prime street that they are building
bridge over the Sehuykl in order to enable them TO
reach the Southwark Railroad and that the Directors
never adopted the terminus at Greenwich The state
ment of your correspondent is equally erroneous IN re-
ference 70 the Santifan Land Company, for the whole
espital OF that concern was less than five hundred
thousand dollars, and as there were nearly three
hundred holders it likely that Third street could
have been ruined outright.

THE TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH OF THE
PURITANS.

An adjourned meeting Of the Society Of the Church
Of the Puritans was held IN the lectureroom Of the
church on Monday evening Mr.. WHITE IN the chair.
The opening prayer was offered by f. w. CHESTER,
esq.
The Rev. JOEL BIAoKMEN, having the floor from the
previous meeting proceeded 10 address the meeting at
some length, upon what be said were the claims OF
COngregatOnaism.
NiT. BERRY said that rasmuch rs his compromise
resolution had failed to facilitate the discussion, or TO
induce a conclusion on the subject, he withdrew 1t.

when the appeal was made, money was needed for the
interests ofhe Church. and the Trustees did not pro-

He charged that if any disgrace was attached to the
Foreign Aid movement was not on the part OF those
who had made the appeal, but those who had creaeo
the necessity for extraordinary EFFORT
Thirty-fve more members had joined that Churcn
during the past year than had left IL. lie maintained
that the Britsh aid movement was but side ISSUE ana
that tho great question really the bottom Of the dis
ssasjon was whether Dr. Cheever should continue TO
occupy the pulpit of the Church of the Pgritans.
Mr. e. GILBERT proceeded to show by a series Of
reolutions adopted by the Church. that the appeal bad
annesl Rad thereby become Committee of the Church.
He said that a. signer Of that appeal he was not
ashamed His motives for doing so had been perfectly
pure. He argued that il was an absurdiiy to suppose
that a church had right 20 receive money ou'soe Vi

Mr.. u. W. CHESTER moved to adjourn, when mo-

declared the meeting adjourned till Thursday evening"
