SELF are moving heaven and earth to secure unaui
nous delegation for him from this State-a task

accomplish. The State Central Committee, at their
session in Philadelphia, in November last, fixed the
mode of electng the delegates to the National
Convention. They decided that the Senatorial
delegates should be elected by the State Conven-
tion on the 22d Of February, and the Representa-
tive delegates from each Congressional district
This was triumph of the Read interest and the
opposition to Cameron. The General, being al ex-
perienced manager of Conventions, considered his
chances better to elect by State Convention than
by the people in each Congressional district. The
decision of the Committee was therefore consider

| plans for presenting an nnbroken front In the Ma

] The success OF the Read interest in the
Committee has not by any means settled
the matter Cameron has no notion of thus
| being deprived of a portion Of his strength,
but is ndustriousIy at work to overthrow the plan
Of the committee. The faithful have received in
structions that the State Convention must, at all
hazards, elect the entire list Of delegates Taking

triously at work laying their wires TO accomplish
this point, and if he secure majority Of the Con-
yenten. no attention will be paid to the action OF
the committee, but the delegates will be elected
and Instructed for Cameron. This action is severe
ly denounced by the Read interest, who have Sc
cured the delegates from Phi adelphia to the State
Convention, and there is a prospect OF lively
time at the Convention on the 22d.
The friends of the General are endeavoring to
keep their plans quiet upon this point. None but

the only way that he can obtain the entire delega-

which he is now bending everything, and devotng
his dreams by night and day, to accomplish Look
out for lively times at the State Convention, for
the guns of the General have all been loaded, and
his entire force brought to bear upon this one
point.
Two or three of the papers in the interior are
