The delegations 10 the Chicago Convention we're
very busy yesterday in canvassins preferences for
the nominees. comparing views, and preparing for
the contest inside. Those from the doubtful States
were a,siduous in their endeavors 10 impress their
action; and some Of thcse were decided in
their expressions against the nomination Of
Mr. Seward. Our correspondent teleeraphs US
that proposition is to be made to require ma
jority OF the whole Electoral College to nominate,
which, il adopted, he thinks, viii defeat Mr..
Seward. Other candidates are not much spoken
Of the aim being frst TO decide the fate Of Mr..
Seward. Mr.. Bstcss friends are still firm and
