The difficulty is whether they shall resume
their seats if granted them, unless the plat

demand of Virginia that the delegates should
pledge themselves to withdraw if the seceders
are not admitted TO seats. it being cOntended
that If Virginia will pursue this course, North
Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, aud portion
OF Maryland, will follow suit, aud that Cush-
ing will resign and leave the chair. The po-
sition OF the New York delegates is anxious
~ discussed. 1t is contended by some who
have been to New York sounding the dele
gates, that they are ready to abandon Doug
las, whilst Others claim TO be equally well
assured that they are more firmly welded TO
Douglas than ever. Since the withdrawal of
Mr. Seymour, some of them express the de-
termination to oppose the admission of any
delegates who are accredited TO the Richmond
Convention, ON the ground that they are dis
organizers and not National Democrats.

us e. Watt, who is here as the alternate of
Gideon j. Tucker. who is delayed by serious
Illness. He said that time did not permit |
the calling of State Convention. but he |
was assured by the President that fifteen of |
the sixteen members of the Committee ap-
proved of the delegation. aud desired that |
they should represent the State in the Rich |
mond Convention.

Delaware.
Mr.. Barry. of Miss, moved the appoint |
ment of committee of Que from each State on |
