DEDICATION OF THE REPUBLICAN WIGwlM.

Special Dispatch TO The N. Y. Tribuso.
CHICAGO, Saturday, May ~ 1850.
The crowd gather thick and fast. Two or three
thousand strangers are now here.
Gov. Morgan, Messrs. Weed, Ashmun Of Mass,
and Lane Of Indiana are among the arrivals to-
night. Mr. Blair, senior, is here, and leads the
Bates interest, which is hopeful and earnest. They
count up over sixty votes the first ballot, from
nine OF ten States.
The Seward leaders are also very confident and
profess the utmost faith but it is impossible to see
how his nomination can be carried. The Indiana
delegation are vehement against him, aud say that
his nomination viii carry go 900 tod 600 votes over
TO Mr. Bell. Illinois is only little less decided
against Mr.. Seward. New-York, Michigan, Wis.,
consin, and Minnesota are the only States that are
united and earnest for him.
Iowa is discordant and uncertain. New-En-
gland is undeytloped, Connecticut only being
unanimous against Mr. Seward. The rest of New
England viii mostly be disposed to 90 for him, but
cannot against the earnest protest of doubtful
States The highest calculation for Mr.. Seward
on the first ballot is 65 votes.
MIR. Cameron's friends from Pennsylvania are
here in force and very camOrons. They say that
Mr.. Cameron only is sure 10 carry PENNSYLVANIA,
but they make no impression elsewhere yet.
Ohio will probably lead for nobody but Mr..
Chase, but would accept Judge M'Lean or Dir.
Wade, if proilered outside of the State
There is not much talk of Mr.. M'Lean, and he
will, apparently, have but few votes, perhaps none
on the first ballot.
Mr.. Seward will lead, Mr.. Bates viii come next,
and Mr.. Chase viii be third having some New
England votes. Mr.. Cameron will come next, and
then Mr. Lincoln. The latter is much pressed by
the Illinois delegation as a compromise candidate,
and would be accepted By all the Northwest
cheerinlly.
There is good feeling all around. Much enthu-
siasm prevails, and general determination to
nominate for success.
| The German Convention is repudiated and de-
nOunced by the Germans generally, aud will
| amount to nothing.
| For President of the Convention, Messrs. Ash
| nun, Selden of Rochester, n Y, and Corwin are
most named.
| There viii be free conferences all around, and
| though much earnestncss will be evnced, there
| viii be no quarreline. Mr.. Blair bases his argu
nent for Judge Bates on the ground that the Dem
ocrats will nominate Mr.. DOuglas, and that the
secession will be a mere disunion fzzle. MIR.
| Weed puts his on the ground that the Democrats
are irremediably split North and South.
The people of Chicago are in high enthusiasm
and very hospitabe. They had house-warming
tonight at the Republican Wigwam, where the
Convention is to be held. Six or eight Thousand
people were present, and speeches were made by
| the following: K. NJ. Corwin of Ohio Judge Good
! rich of Minnesota, and Mr.. Lane Of Indiana. The
| Wigwam viii hold 10000 persons. 1t is decorated
with flags, evergreens, and paintings. The Conven-
| ton can be accommodated on the platform above,
| and the rest be thrown open to ladies and the
pOpulace. Great crowds are expected on Monday
| and Tuesday,
