bsg- The Republican National Convention
meets at Chicago on Wednesday next
Judge WHMoT, delegate at large, and IL. W.
TRACY, district delegate, will be present from
this Comfy.
1t is idle speculating upon the chances of
this or that man. We believe the Convention
will be actuated by ferveut desire to advance
the principles of the Republican party, and at
the same time promote its success in the pres
ent canvass. Personal preferences, we trust
and believe, will not be allowed to engender
feeling and schism, but the proceedings of the
Convention will be such as will meet the en-
thusiastic appreciation of the whole country.

D9@ The game of brag which has been 50

last few weeks, will be recommended, and
more loudly practised until the meeting of the
Baltimore Convention. 1t will be proclaimed
that Southern sentiment sustains the few dele
gates from that section who remained in the
Charleston Convention, and that his nomina,

1t is claimed by the friends of DOUGLAS thai

IMPORTANT DECISIoN-In the Supreme Court
of the United States yesterday, the celebrated
Sa1tilau Land case, which was recently so ell
a ocately argued, was decided in favor of the
United States, thus finally settling the title to
large and valuable track of land immediate
ly adjoining the city of San Francisco, and
which has heretofore been claimed under a
Mexican grant by the San Francisco Land
Company. Much Of the stock of this Com
pany, perhaps larger part of it, is owned in
this city, and the tract of land in dispute was
estimated at not less than fifteen millions of
dollars 1t lies Immediately back of the city
Of San Francisco, and very much in the posi-
ton of that portion of Philadelphia above
Columbia avenue, so that the natural growth
of the city must, in few years. cover it with
dense population. The decision, though not
wholly unexpected, caused much excitement in
money circles yesterday. The par value of the
shares Of the Company is $500, but they have
sold as high as four or five thousand dollars :;
they had latterly, however, receded to about
$500, but during the progress of the argu-
ment few weeks ago, again advanced to
about 5000. at which considerable sales were
made since then, rumors of an adverse decis
ion have caused rapid decline, and yesterday,
before the decision was known, sales were made
$75 per share. The Company own some
other property, the title to which is undisputed
and the shares, therefore, are not altogether
worthless. A favorable decision would have
run up the price to $4,000 per share. Our
citizens are losers by the speculation to the
amount of million dollars at least.-PhiLa-

A good story is told of Thaddeus Stevens oi
Pennsylvania, in connection with the tenth
ballot for Douglas at Charleston. The news
came over the wires that Mr.. Douglas has re.
ceived one hundred and fifty and one halt
votes. " One hundred and ffty-and Onehalf."
repeated Mr. Stevens very slowly and mock
seriously, "He One-Aalf means Biglsr i" Mr.
Douglas was about the Capitol for several
hours yesterday, and did not entirely give up
the ship. A Republican, who is on good terms
with him, asked Of him, Well, Judge, are are
all speculatng on your chances, what do y0u
think about it ?" "I don't know" he replied
"but they will swindLe me out of the nomina.
ton" And if they do, suppose We put you
up at ChiCago-will you stand p Of course
this was badiaage, and the senator replied in
the same vein, Send your committee to me
and if don't do anything better for EN-, III
give EN- some good whskey, and we will talk
the matter over"
The plan Of the seceders is to carry the elec-
tion into the House, where the southern can
didate could easily get the vote of Oregon and
California. When it comes to choice between
a Republican or a democratic President, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and even Maryland, would
vote for the candidate of the southern demo
cracy. If not, these gentlemen claim that
they would never dare vote for the Republican
candidate. In that event the Senate would
elect Vice President who would be the act
ing President, and of course the candidate of
the southern men.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

There are leading Delegates to the Chicago
Convention here from nearly all the States to
be represented in that Convention. Confer
ences are numerous among them, but it is idle
to speculate much as to results. The friends
of MesSrs. Bates Chase, Seward and Cam.
eron, are all confident, each of these being
backed by his own State. In the event of all
these being set aside, parties seem nearly equ-
ally divided in their preferences for Messrs
Mclean and Wade. Some object to the for
mer for two reasons-that he rejected the
nomination in l848 because he was on the
bench, which reason is still valid, and because
of his being committed to the doctrine of SQUAT
ter Sovereignty. Speaking of Slavery in the
Territories, he says: at is a domestic rela
tion, over which the Federal Government can
exercise no control" Gen Cass indorsed this
view as laying down the proper boundary
of Congressional interposition"
To Mr.. Wade we hear of no objection as a
compromise candidate.
Col. Fremont is frequently named with much
of the old enthusiasm Of 1856 His conduct
since his defeat is not only declared to have
been unexceptionable, but most admirably dis
Greet
Gov Banks seems favorite of the Ameri-
can-Republican element. He was their nomi-

THE CHARLESTON FACTIONS.
Factions among the Charleston Delegates
here to-day are bitter in their hostility to each
other. The opponents of Mr. Douglas declare
him dead, and that if nominated at Baltimore,
as they concede probable, he cannot carry
single State in the Union Not Southern
State will give him her vote. Per contra, his
friends are jubilant. They deem both the
Platform and the adjournment success, and
say full Douglas delegations from the seeding
States will appear at Baltimore and secure bis
nomination They affect to believe the senti-
ment of the people at the South is with them,
and that they can carry every Southern State.
Much bitter feeling is manifested toward Mr..
Gushing for his partial rulings
