date. Seward may not get all the votes of vir-
ginia. It's stated that Virginia will not vote
at all on the first ballot.
There is some trouble in the Committee on
Credentials about the Kansas and Nebraska del
egatiOns, which is very important, as it may de-
eide whether Seward be nominated. There il
also question raised on the regularity Of the
Texas delegation, the formation Of which j:
charged as a Seward trick.
The question on which everything turns is
whether Seward can be nominated His indi.
viduality is the pivot here, just as that Of Doug.

Horace Greeley and Eli Thayer have agreed
upon the following resolution which Greeley is
at work to make one of the planks OF the plat

the latter part Thayer's. It's the nearest right
ofany platform resolution anywhere adopted or
proposed, being the nearest to real popular SOW
ereignty, and Greeley thinks he cen carry ii
through the Platform Committee. 1t is called
the Oregon Platform. The Convention is bless

I ELEVEN O'CLOCK, p. NJ.
The OHIO delegation has been in session three
hours trying to arrange to cast a unit vote, but
some will not vote for Chase at all, and others
will not agree to vote on any ballot for anybody
else. The delegation is still in session. 1t is q
! regular class meeting.
Spooner says he is for Chase as his first
choice, and will vote for him as long as the ma.
jorsty of the delegation does, and he will moi
attempt to put Chase in minority but Wade
is ish second choice.
| Attorney General Wolcott is said to be in the
Wade movement.
Pennsylvanians are now insisting strongly on
Camron as the only man who can certainly car
ry Pennsylvania. They were marching to-nigh,
with music, rockets, and Roman candles. Al
ter Cameron they are for Mclean next for Lin.
con.
Llncon stock is still advancing. 1t is ru
mored that majority of the Virginia delega
tions is for him. This is not yet confirmed.
The Seward men are rampant, and manifes
no abatement of confidence. II they cannot
nominate their man, it is believed they vii
sp,ing movement to slaughter Wade and Lin
coin, and probably put up Fremont.
Some of Chase's more sanguine friends hope
to gain the Seward vote as against Wade OF
Lincoln. About twenty Ohioans and ten Ken
tuckians will vote steady for Chase, with this
exception. The Kentucky vote is nearly even.
ly divided between Chase and Seward, and
wants Cassius M. Clay for Vice President
Clay will probably be nominated on the frs
ballet.
More earnestness than was expected is being
shown to. night for Bates Cameron, and Wade
Mclean is mentioned as reserved for emergen.
cles This appears as Wade stock declines,
would not be surprised if Fremonrs name
would turn up formidable He is the second
choice of most of the New York delegation
Some Of them are for Chase. The real general
;ssimo of the New Workers is Thurlow Weed
who holds the State and works the wires.
Seward would be nominated at once il no
for fear it would heal the wounds in the Dem
ocratic partyand bring out Douglas under bet
ter auspices. IF Seward is defeated here, j
may be traced to the adjournment at Charleston
leaving the Republican party to take the initia
tive.
The President of the Convention is agains
Seward. There is a general disposition TO rus
busines and make short Convention. Event
tomorrow.
