NO BALLOT.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE sessions of the con
vention, to-day, and the movements outside of
the convention, have been marked with deep
and earnest feeling. The streets have been
full of excitement, and thronged with process
sions and bands of music. The New York
and Michigan delegations, numbering some
four thousand enthusiastic persons, and carry
ing gorgeous banner bearing the likeness of
Mr.. Se%ard, formed the most noticeable fea-
ture in the professions. The canvass outside
was very animated. The Massachusetts dele
CATION is very nearly united in favor of Mr..
Seward, as was indicated by an nfor-
NAL expression of preferences, this morn
ing. Messrs. Durham and Rogers of Bos-
ton, and Winn of Essex, voted for Lincoln
of Illinois; Messrs. Boutwell,, r. T. Davis,
Timothy Davis, Hooper, and Stone were alb
SENT and the rest voted for Mr.. Seward. The
Iowa delegation were very DESTROYS that the
platform should denounce the two years
amendment but the thought was not seriously
entertained. The attempt was also made to
secure an endorsement of squatter sovereign
ty, but it was a signal failure.

THE SEVENTH DISTRICT DEMoCRACY.-
The democrats in Charlestown held meeting,
"Wednesday evening, to review the action of
their delegates to Charleston-Fred. 0. Prince,
who VOTED for Douglas, and George johnson,
who holds an Office, and voted against him.
The meeting was controlled by the Douglas
element, in Whose favor resolutions were pass
ed without m pch opposition. Mr. Prince was
endorsed, Mr4 johnson censured, and it was
recommended to the district committee 10 call
a convention for the purpose of giving instruc-
tions to the latter to go to Baltimore and vote
for Douglas. The meeting also adopted res
uution asking the state committee to consid-
or the expediency of calling state convention
for the purpose of instructing the other dele
gates elected at large, the Hon. Caleb Cush-
ing and Gen. James S. Whitney, to follow the
course of Hon. Isaac Davis and Oliver Stevens,
who faithfully represented the feelings and
wishes of the greater portion of the democracy
of Massachusetts," Mr.. johnson was not in
vited to meet his assaiants, and hence was not
present to repel the accusations against his
course.

The BALTIMORE CoNvENTIoN.-The New
York Tribune has dispatch from Was ing
ton, dated May 10Th, with reference to a re-
union of the democracy at Baltimore. 1t
says Arrangements are now in progress to
bring both wings together on the basis of the
Tennessee resolution, which is acceptable to
Davis, Toombs, Hunter, Iverson, Brown, and
nearly all the southern senators and members.
That point carried as it will be, by the aid of
New York and part of New England, the rest
will follow naturally. A quiet but extended
movement is making to put Guthrie on that
platform, and this is urged because his last
vote at Charleston was equally divided be-
tween the north and the south

ABOUT THE DRY WEATHER.-The people
thirst for water; and those who have put their
trust in cisterns and in Worcester reservoirs
arc murmuring after the manner of the chill
drcn Of Israel, when they child Moses and
would not be peaceable till he smotc the rock
of Horeb. The wind has been in all quarters,
coming from the northeast fair share of the
time. Whenever the Old South rooster val
iantly faced the music from that northeast
region, our weather prophets looked WISE
and said, with the air of men who know
thing or two, 'it will rain before to-
morrow, the air is very damp" But the
rain is not, and there is no immediate ev-
idence that it ever will be. Washing day will
cease to be an institution, and the farmers will
have to sink artesian wells in their pastures,
while the globe crumbles into dust. The east
wind, however, may not deceive us the next
time. We have already looked out towards
the east for the "cloud no bigger than mans
hand" nearly as many times as did Elisha of
old from Mount Carmel, and we believe our
continued great faith like his, is to have its re-
ward. We look for a freshet.

The CONFERENCE AT BUFFALo.-The
Methodist conference, now in session in Buffa-
alo, numbers 22l members, mostly in the
prime of life. They are representatives of AZ
annual conferences and nearly one million
church mcmbers, spread over all the free states
from Maine to the Pacific, and scattered along
the border of the slave states. Rev. Mr..
TwombIy, delegate from this city, writes to us
as foil VS. 1.-Two weeks have passed and
none of the committees on the great questions
now agtating the church. have yet presented
their reports. Lay delegation, the presiding
eidership, extension of the time of ministerial
service, and similar questions will give rise to
considerable debate The educational, and
the various enterprises of the church will also
occupy much time. But the great question is
slavery. Many hundreds of petitions, signed
by many thousands of members have been
presented praying for a change OF the discip-
line, so as to exclude shareholders from men,
bership. Some have been presented that no
change should be made. What the final action
will be cannot now be told. The friends Of
freedom, who are interested in our delibera-
tions, may be assured, however, that adcdnce
action will be taken" On Wednesday, 10th,
the reports of the slavery committee, which
have been so anxiously looked for, and about
which there has been so much speculation,
were read, and ordered printed. The majority
report recommends a change of the present
rule. The minority report recommends an
official declaration on the part of the general
conference reaffirming the anti-slavery posi-
ton of the church. and that the committee on
pastoral address be instructed to state this pos
ition to all the churches, and to give such
counsel as they may deem advisable. The
conference adjourned till Friday.
