ADMISSION AND REJECTION OF DELEGATES

ADMISSION AND REJECTION OF DELEGATES.
| BALTIMORE, June Is, 8 A. Mas the houl
for the re-assembling of the great National
Democratic Convention approaches, the ex.
element and the anxiety continues to increase
This only, however, can be said at the time
| of writing.
| The outside pressure in favor of Douglas is
very strong, and the general impression is
that large portion Of the delegates in favor
| OF his nomination will oppose the admission Of
| the delegates who seeded from the Charles
ton Convention, and favor the admission of all
new delegates who may present themselves in
their places.
The whole matter, however, will be refer
red to the Committee on Credentials, who
will not report before Tuesday morning.
Hthey report against the seceders, the lat
ter will go back to Richmond, and there make
nominations for President and Vice President
If on the other hand, the committee report
IN favor of the seceders, and that report is not,
through the action of the Douglas delegates,
approved by the convention, the same result
will follow.
In either case, it is probable that several
OF the Northern delegates, who are opposed to
Douglas, will also withdraw and unite with
the seceders at Richmond, in making a mo
mination
Ii, on the contrary, everything goes on
smoothly and tremendously, and there is no
secession, it is believed that new candidate
will be brought forward and nominated. In
no case will Douglas be nominated
The Douglas men, however, stand firm and
unyielding as yet, and claim for him 156 votes
on the first ballot
As regards the feeling of the convention
personally, both factions appear to be more
bitter and excitable towards each other than
when at Charleston.
Re-assembling of the Convention.
BALTIMORE, june 18, 2 p M.-The National
Democratic Convention re-assembled at half
past eleven O'Clock, at which hour precisely
Mr.. Gushing. the President, called it to order.
Prayer was offered up by the Rev. Mr.. Nc
Crew, after which the roll was called by
States.
All the States responded except South Car
DINA, which had no delegation o. any kind
present.
Several Of the other States were only par
TALLY represented in the convention on its re-
assembling, but the balance Of the delegates
were IN the city, and would have been present
had it been supposed that anything important
would come up during the morning.
There was great deal of misnanagement
In the securing Of tickets for admission to the
invention, and as consequence great deal
of confusion
Many of the delegates, with an undoubted
right, as well as many members of the press.
We're unable to procure seats. In this con-
nection 1t was noticed that several members
OF the Baltimore and New York Empire Clubs
were officers to attend to the affairs of the
convention.
The roll having been called, Mr.. Cushing
addressed the convention in q very eloouent
speech Of considerable length, in which he
counseled harmony and Cancellation. avery
county in the Northern States" he said. "is
now in the field with Republican candidate
and active organization, and it was the dntv
OF the great Democratic party at this time es.
pecially to forget all past differences, meet and
take counsel together as the best means of
crushing out sectionalism and securing once
for all glorious and permanent victory
Loud and continued applause
The presidents speech was followed by
desultorY discussion on points of order and the
affairs Of the Union in general, in which =
large number Of members took part. but with
out developing anything new.
Hon. Sanford Church, of New York then
offered the following resolution
Resolved, That the claims to all seats in
this convention, vacated by seeding delgates
at Charleston, be referred to the Gommittee
on Credentials, and that the said Committee
be instructed to examine the same and renort
thereon to the convention, with the under
