FIRST DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

stitutional Convention Of delegates who se-
ceded from the Charleston Convention, re-
assembled in this city to-day, in pursuance
of adjournment.
The State of Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina,
Arkansas, Virginia and New York are repre-
sented in the convention.
Most Of these States have full delegations
present but Virginia has only two and New
York seven.
The New York delegates, however, come
accredited, as delegates of the National Demo-
cratic convention, and not as delegates to the
previous consulting convention, and at present

convention, however, with great applause.

to order by Mr.. W. S. Mullany, of South
CaroIina, on whose motion exGov. Lubbock,

mittees one on credentials and the other on
organization and business, with Instructions
to report at 10 O'Clock tomorrow, to which
hour the convention then adjourned.

in itself; nor is there any excitement arising
from outside pressure.
1t is generally believed that it will not at
present take any final action on the subject OF
a nomination, but after day or two of con-
sultaton among the members. and perhaps the
adoption Of platform Of principles, it will ad-
ionrn to await the action OF the Baltimore Con-
ton, to which all the delegates are accredited.

matter of organization, it is generally believed
| that Mr. Gushing, the charm an, will admit nj
the regular delegations from Louisiana, Texas
| Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South
| Carolina, Arkansas, &c, but that the Douglas
men will afterwards override his decision and
| give the seats to their friends.
