cations win not enter the Convention at all, but proceed
10 hold separate Of their own, nominating South
for President and Fernando Wood for
Vice President-the result Of this movement
being to throw the election into tho house
OF Representatives where the South think safest to
have it. Perhaps there will not be q single Southern
State represented the Convention called for TO morrow
One of the conditions which the Southern delegations are
to require the admission Of the Wood deleg ssion
the ak Southern delegations get the others join
hem they will let the Convention proceed to business
till the Wood men are admitted. tremendous row
may, therefore, be expected, which will perhaps break
up the Convention. The Southern delegations have an
united on Wood and paid him every respect rendering
him their support for the Vice Presidency.
Wise's withdrawal Of his name a. candidate relieves
Wood from much embarrassment and will not prevent
his getting the support Of the Virginia delegation.
The Albany Regency clique, thoroughly frightened have
offered to make Wood delegate at large Of their deega-
ton and to let him bring many be pleases Of his
delegates with him, provided he left them majority
He refused the and said would With
his friends
The testimony Of Walker and his production

Douglas. was all arranged a fortnight ago, and dele.

and is producing strong feeling against Douglas and in
favor q Mr.. Buchanan and II b regretted that Mr. Blu

Mr. shdel has addressed letter 10 the Louisiana dele

If the Convention should be organized with North and
South, the first movement against Douglas viii be the
adoption Of the rules Of the Last Convention which
clude the two third vote necessary to nomination As
this has always been the rule the friends Of Douglas
tualy disposes Of him, for will enable the South TO pre-
vent big nomination
The next step will be the construction Of the platform
which the South will insist having resolution repu-
dating squatter sovereignty; and Mr. Douglas has
stated in his letter that such resolution should be
adopted he be candidate this will DO decisive of
hi, fate great fight is therefore expected on the
platform.
For candidates six Observation-Disclosures,
Dickinson Breckenridge, Guthrie, Hunter and Lane
l. is said Hunter has the delegations of ten eleven
Southern States, but it s conceded he cannot carry
sufficient number Of Northern States to be elected
and. therefore, he cannot get the nomination It Is
probable he will receive large complimentary vote,
but will be dropped rs it is found that the
North will not have him.
Some Of the leaders Of the Albany Regency delega
ton are afraid to give Hunter complimentary vote,
lest should nominate him. whilst Dean Richmond says
I would be good deed to let him be nominated and
lose the election in order to punish the South for SET

are hostile 10 him. and win unite the friends Of the other
candidates 70 kill him off,

the cold shoulder, and will not move in his behalf
Guthries friends say that the friends OF Douglas will
come over TO him but those who have good of
