Ba more Convention.
BALTIMORE, June 19-The Convention
continued the discussion of the admission Of
delegates from the Southern States to late
hour in the evening, when it finally adjourned
without taking decisive action till 10 o'clock
this morning
The only new developments of interest,
however, were a resolution offered by Dir.
Gilmore Of Pennsylvania, to the following
| effect:
"ResolUed, That the President of the ConveEl-
| ton be authorized to issue tickets of admis-
sion to the delegates from all the seeding
States, who have no contestants, but that the
credentials of delegates from the other sece-
| ding States who have contestants be submit
ted to special committee.
"Also ResolUel, That all the delegates adj |
United to seats in the convention be consider /
ed bound to abide by the decision of the same !
and in good faith support its nominees"
These resolutions called out a dozen speeches !
pro and con-, from various members Of the
convention, which created considerable excite
ment for the moment; but their general teno
was In favor Of harmony and compromise.
Finally, the previous question was called.
pending which the convention adjourned.
The indications were in favor Of the admis-
sion of all the regular Southern delegations.
and a harmonious nomination.
The outside pressure in favor of Douglas is
still very great, but the tendency of every
thing IN the convention is against him.
Neither South Caroliea nor Florida are re-
presented in the convention. All the other
States have full delegations.
