epecial Dispatch 10 The N. Y. Tribune.

Convention have arrived, and are confsrriua viii.
their friends in Congress as to the policy to be pur
sued there. The proximity between this csu;t.
and the Convention, together with the direct Der
sonal influence which can be exercised by the Pres.
dent and Cabinet, are prejudicial 10 Mr.. Dousla..
ienterests. Every effort will be made to compsu
his defeat, no matter what else may follow.
Mr.. Douglas viii suffer most at Baltimore from
the want of some able and influential leader in TIA
South, who has position and character enough IA
give him weight with delegates from that section.
Mr.. Stephens Of Georgia was expected To perform
this part at Charleston, but could not attend being
then engaged in an important criminal case in Ala.
bama. He will now be kept away by illness thus
depriving Douglas Of his important aid at the most
critical juncture
The impression gains ground that the Convention
cannot agree upon any basis of compromise. Bod
interests are more hostile than when they separated
before, and each charge the other with the respoa.
sibility of that rupture.
The South Carolina delegates are not commits.
stoned to Baltimore, but motion will be made for
their admission on the footing as other seced.
ers, which will necessarily be resisted
Two candidates are now regarded as almost in.
evitable. Mr.. Davis will be urged by the Southern
interest, but as his name may possibly prejudice
the movement, combination between Messrs.
Hunter and Dickinson is now proposed as the most
effective mode of striking SIr. Douglas down at ths
South.
THE TARIFF.
Various Democratic Committees have been seat
here from the iron and coal regions of Pennsylva.
nia with view Of making political capital through
pretended zeal for the tariff. Their united inlu.
ence will not control single vote in either branch
of Congress. This whole movement il q sham, and
the people Of Pennsylvania should understand that
the Democratic party in both Houses, with few
individual exceptions, are hostile to any modhca.
ton of the tariff whatever, and viii oppose Mr..
MOrrils bill to the bitter end Mr.. Bgler was
the only one last night who voted against attaching
the loan to the legislative bill.
SUPREME COURT JUDGE.
The friends of Attorney General Black are er.
erting every influence to secure his appointment TO
the Supreme Court for Judge Daniels vacancy
His non-residence in the Judicial district, and the
fact that one Pennsylvania is already on the
bench, are urged as objections, but will not ope-
rate with Mr.. Buchanan if he determines to confer
the place. He has heretofore expressed an anxious
desire to provide for Mr.. Black, who is needy, and
unsuited to practice his profession.
THE ADJOURNMENT.
The Senate took up Mr.. Wilson's resolution 10
rescind the day Of adournment and at Mr. Hals's
fixed upon the 25th inst, which viii
give an additional week, if the House should con.
cur. Messrs. Hale and Cameron expressed the
that the Democratic minority did not
intend TO pass the important measures which the
House had sent over-Kansas, the Tariff, the
Homestead, and the like, had long been doomed,
and no extension of the session would save either.
The House referred the change of adjournment
to the Committee on Ways and Means, with the
intention of being governed by the state Of busi.
ness. With the exception Of the incumbering
amendments, which the Senate has added to the
appropriations the House might be ready to ad-
past, the public and private calendars have not
been so well cleared, and this is the first time that
the appropriation bills have been so far advanced
that the amendments of the Senate have been
printed and thoroughly scrutinized. Heretofore
they have been delayed till the last hours Of the
session, when large sums were often voted by col.
usion or other cOntrivances, without the knowL
EDGE of any person but those directly interested.
THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The Pacific Railroad goes over till next session.
,ut in the shape which the bill is now presented
I might have been carried through the House,
lnder the force Of the previous question. An
sscertaned majority in the Senate stood ready 10
accept it.
TIE JOHN BROWN RAID.
The Harper's Ferry Committee met this morn
ng, to hear Mr.. Masons majority report, which
occupied about an hour in reading. He makes
he most of a bad case. Mr.. Collamer submitted
he views of the minority, which are concise but
comprehensive, and compress all that need be said
INTO Il short compass. Both will be presented to
he Senate tomorrow.
THE HOMESTEAD MEASURE
The conference on the Homestead bills failed to
each any satisfactory agreement, as was antici.
'ated. The Senate side obstinately held out and
'eiused to make the least concession, or give their
bill any vitality. The House was ready to yield
if any practical good could have been
accomplished, but no disposition was evinced to
meet their friendly overtures.
THE ADMINISTRATIONS CORRUPTIONS.
The Coyode Committee took no testimony to-day.
md will meet again on Saturday, to consider the
majority and minority reports. Mr.. Davidson, late
