to the Homestead bill. Mfr. Hammond
openly proposed as means of resisting
the final vote which Mr.. Wade urged
withdrawal from the Hall and leaving
no quorum. 1t was only through the
persistent energy of Mr.. Wade that an
adjournment was had with an under
standing as to the final vote. III Isl
1t is stated that when certain parties
have testified 10 their full satisfaction in
regard to Kansas matters, Gov. Walker
viii be again summoned be the Coyode
Committee for additional explanations,
which may give phase to this affair
that has not been expected. He has
much more to tell, and not to the credit
of the Administration.
We take the following from the Wash
ington correspondence of the New York
Herald @ aH
"Tbe discussion is very animated now
about the Chicago Convention. A de-
termination exists with the moderate men
to present winning candidate to the
people for their suffrages. Bates and
Wade are looming up. Fremont win
have many friends at Chicago, but the
more prudent are for keeping him in re-
serve for 1864. Nearly every man here
who has any knowledge of public affairs
is convinced that Seward cannot be
elected if nominated. 1t is said that
Fessenden, Chase and Banks win cheer
fully support Bates or Wade.
Efforts are being made to unite the
Richmond and Baltimore Conventions
on some compromise candidate. The
old fogy Southern politicians do not
wish to give up Hunter, who would
freeze all popular enthusiasm; but many
of the moderate southern politicians are
willing to accept the nomination of Brock
enridge as peace offering.
1t is thought that Breckenridge or
Lane, with Seymour for Vice, will be
nominated at Baltimore in June. While
the Douglas men condemn Gushing for
his decisions at Charleston, il is well
known he was sustained by the New
York delegation and many now professed
friends. Many more protested friends Of
Douglas and the Union Democrats feel
that Gushing saved them"
1t has been reported that Maine voted
as unit for Douglas in the Charleston
Convention. This was not so. Her del.
egates voted-fve for Douglas and three
for Guthrie on every ballot. The dele
cation from Maine was the only one that
made no change during the ffty-seven
ballots. It was also reported from
Charleston that Fernando Wood would
be the candidate for Vice President or
the Guthrie ticket, but such an arrange
ment was not contemplated, although
there was probability that he would
have a place on any radical Southern
ticket put up.
| A mass meeting has been held at New
, Orleans to denounce the secession move
ment at the Charleston Convention, snt
!, large and enthusiastic meeting at Sa
t vannah, to approve the course of tn,
a southern delegates at Charleston.
e From the Washington correspondents
of the New York Commercial Advert
ser:
"The republicans in both House
seem to be prepared to unite in supper
u of any candidates who may be nomina
ted at Chicago. They apprehend no dill
i ficulty in the nomination, though at pres
: ent no person is settled upon. There
II some talk of Justice Mclean, and also G
Mr.. Lincoln, and Mr.. Fessenden an
: others.
u The Pennsylvanians are hesitating be
3 tween Mclean and Banks, Bates an
Cameron, or Wade and Hickman, BIZ
k they viii probably unite on a ticket, an
II finally support the nominees, whoeve
d they may be-"
tsI Occasional of the Philadelphia Pre-.
\ is still enthusiastic in the cause of Dous

IS "The secessionists, fire-eaters, dirt-ea
m ers and ofIice-holders, are all anxious thi
