the seceders are excluded there viii be big bolt,

vote on the Of the Mississippi delegation The
vote was nine for exclusion and fifteen for admis-

The Convention having adjourned till tomorrow,
speculation is rife to the action Of the Committee
| on Credentials on which much depends. The Doug
las men claim that the Committee is decidedly
in their favor, and will admit all the Southern con-
testing delegates on their side They conclude that
in the cases of Florida, Mississippi and Texas where
there no contestants, the seceders must be ad-
mitted This is a considerable abandonment Of their
lofty pretensions, as made on Saturday, when they
claimed the power to rule with high hand and
boosted that not single seceder should be admitted,
and that in single day everything would be accom-
plished to their liking.
The seceders on the other hand are quite as Ger
tain that through the aid of New York they will
ultimately get into the Convention, and defeat the
pretensiOns Of Douglas One thing is certain; New
York is master Of the situation and shape events
to its liking. The bearing of the two divisions Of
the party is in strong contrast. The SOutherners
are bold, defiant and DncOmprOmising; while the
Douglas men are nervous, anxious and tOady to the
New Workers to the most abject extent.
The following are the detailed proceedings of the
Credental Committee This morning the committee
resolved that the rules Of the Convention so far
applicable shall be the rules for the committee, and
further resolved that the contestants shall first have
fifteen minutes allowed TO state their claims, and
their opponents the same in reply. Members Of the
committee are confined to five minutes each. No
case will be decided upon until all have been heard
The cases are to be considered as follows: lst Mis-
sissipp "a. Florida. 3d. Texas 4th, Arkansas.
5th, Louisiana. 9th, Alabama: 18th, Georgia Sth,
Delaware. Afterwards States where there are in
dvidual disputes will be presented. In the case Of
Mississippi letter was received from the Charles
ton delegates, asking admittance No contestants
appearing, Mr.. Barry and Mr. Barksdale appeared
and claimed seats, being delegated to Baltimore, and
having come here in good faith. and DESTROYS to
make nomination and platform acceptable to the
Democratic party.
A motion was made to take up the case of Mis-
sissippi which was adopted by vote Of 10 ayes to
8 nays.
Inquiry having been made under what authority
the Convention met which reelected the delegates
from Missssippipp Mr. Barry replied that the
Chairman Of the State Executive Committee, the
only person who possesses the right to call Con
VentiOn issued the call. question was asked
what course the delegates were Instructed to pur-
sue in the majority report should now be ad-
opted. Mr.. Barry replied they had no instruction
upon that point The delegates came here with the
hope that contingency would arise to cause them
to gOtO Richmond. They will expect to make NOM
inatiO1 here. Mr.. Houston said they were accredt
ed here by the only Convention which has been
held in their State; that not even mass meeting
had been held in opposition to their views. They
represent the only true Democracy of Mississippi.
The case of this State then closed but under the
rule it viii not be decided upon till all the cases are
heard.
Arkansas was next called, and the memorial of
Rusk, FlOurnoy and others considered without &C
ton.
The committee adjourned to the evening. 1t is
in session, considering the cases in the order
named above.
1t seems quite probable that the Convention will
sit the week out
Erastus Brooks is here hobnobbing with the Doug
las men, and from what can hear, it may be upon
a mission TO sell out tie American party to the
Dougaistes Congress is literally doing nothing,
finding 1t difficult to keep quorum. see Mason,
Sidel, Pugh Clingman and others Of the Senate are

The Committee on Credentials took vote this
evening and agreed to admit the Mississippi secedeF
but rejected those from Texas and Florida because
their states had not accredited them to Baltimore. 1t
is probable that half Of each delegation will lie adj
mitted from Arkansas. Two reports will undOubt-
edly be made.
The seceders say this committee don't give them a
fair show

BALTIMORE, June Thoughts is losing ground
his friends insulting and Overbearing, and de-
clare their determination to nominate him in oppOsi-
ton to the nominee Of the convention. The OppO
nents of Douglas firm and calm, resolved to
maintain the rights of the South at every hazard.
The vote of New York has demOralized the Doug
las forces, and detection in the New England
delegations satisfies them that he cannot be nomi-
mated.
Douglas cannot be nominated. HOratio Seymour,
of New York, will receive the nomination Phelps,
of Missouri, or Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, viii be

Every movement made by the Douglas men dis
closes their weakness New York is irrevocably
lost to him ; Pennsylvania IS firm against him In
diana is waVerIng Massachusetts is almost a unit
in favor of another man Connecticut is divided a
majority being against him; New Hampshire will
go for Seymour or Guthrie. Several delegates from
Ohio are maneuvering to unite some other can
didate. Seymour is gaining ground, and tremen-
dous effort is being made in his favor. Powell and
Magofhn. of Kentucky, are exerting themselves for
him. Breckinridge's friends are in his favor.
