BALTIMORE, May S.-Of the delegates al
ready here is good sprinkling of the leaders
IN the American party in 1854 and 1855. John
D. Critenden is here the guest of Mr.. Ken
| nedy. John Bell of Tennessee, is in Phiadel-
pEia, and expected tonight. The delegates
are tins morning registering their names at
room No. 5 Carroll Hail, and gathering there
in large numbers Most of them are exceed
ingly enthusiastic. The chances of success
seem to be counted ON with great confidence,
in view of the split at Charleston. This fact
causes the friends OF the several candidates to
work with great zeal The New York delega-
ton, yesterday, were a unit for Houston and
Everett, and in favor of their nomination with
out any platform.
The Massachusetts delegation are divided
between Crttemden and Houston. A majority
are III favor OF the former, and will advocate
his nomination with the sentiment, "Ihe con.
sttuton and the supremacy of the laws" us
the platform. The balance Of the New Eng
land delegation will be divided between Crit.
tenden, Houston, Bell, Everett and Rives a
large majorty Of the New Jersey dele cation
are i'll favor of Houston. They look upon his
nomination as a thunderbolt to the Chicago
convention. n number of the friends OF Cam.
eron are here, watching on the outside, and
endeavoring to stir up breeze for him, argu-
ing that he is the only man that can beat the
democracy in Pennsylvania. The leaders of
the union party in Baltimore advocate Critten-
den and Everett
The strongest advocates of Mclean are
from Maryland and the interior OF Pennsylva
MA. The latter claim he is the only man they
can do anything with against the Chicago
nominee The Philadelphia portion of the
Pennsylvania delegation are talking largely
Tor Bell. There is a move of the friends OF
Henry M. Fuller, with the idea of putting him
on as vice president.
Houston begins to lose ground New Eng
land begings to be felt. New York and Ken
lucky are urging him ahead with all their
force, Humphrey Marshall of Kentucky being
the leader. Everett has gone up many lengths
to-day, and Mississippi, Virginia, and Mary
land, are ready to go in for him. This help, if
New England is firm, will nominate him in
the end The Massachusetts delegation is di-
vided. White of Springfield is strong for
Houston. and Warren of Boston, for Critten,
den. The latter has no chance. Everett,
with Graham of North Carolina for vice. looks
well for success.
Correspondence of the Tribune.
BALTIMORE, May S.-The convention bids
fair to be full one. Messrs Houston and
Bell are the leading candidates. between
whom there is likely to be warm cont st.
Tennessee particularly resists Mr.. Houston.
majority OF the New York delegates are for
him. Mr.. Mclean does not manifest much
strength. He would be stronger, and perhaps
nominated but for the belief that he would be
rejected at Chicago, and by his declenSiOn the
party left without candidate Mrssrs. Ever
EFT, Fuller and Hunt are most named for the
vice presidency. it is said Mr.. Hunt will de-
cline There is general disposition to get
along without platform.

BALTIMORE, May 9.-The Massachusetts
delegation is Il large one. Its members gen.
Grail go for Everett, or some such man. 1t is
very evident that the confliCI here is to be be-
tween "respcclability" and drmocracy-the
Everettand the Houston stripes of unionism.
good many people express themselves sur
prised at the proposed nomination of Houston,
as being BENEATH the dignity Of unionism but
Young America is in the field for him strong
Alfred Il. Ely ct Boston is here, laborng with
all his might to defeat the supposed wishes Of
the Massachusetts delegates. Young Amer
ica" is doing his best for Sam Houston, vino
appears to be gaining strength every hour.
There are two pretty clearly defined sections
in the convention. One is composed Of men
who wish to construct an entirely new party
The other is made up Of men who merely
want TO revive old organizations. Houston's
success will be the defeat Of the latter. The
New York delegation have just met and voted
on candidate informally. Houston received
thirty three out of thirty-fve votes.
