arrived at, and 1t finally agreed upon TO take the
decisive vote at nine O'Clock tomorrow morning.
Some OF the Mcclellan delegations from the East and
Pennsylvania begin to talk sharply OF the course pur
sued BY the New York delegation. They claim that
Mcclellan has large majority OF the whole vote OF the
Convention that such vote can be concentrated ON
any other man. and that New York would only speak
promptly and emphaticay for him his nomination would
be made by acclamation.
Governor Seymour continues TO hold the position that
he not candidate, and this has led many to declare
for Mcclellan who previously held Seymour as their first
choice.
There are many outsiders from New York, however,
say that Seymour has right TO deny his friends
the privilege Of using his name, and these backed
by the ultra peace men, who argue that Mcclellan Il
is too OF democrat, and that
the country needs aud demands q statesman, q
civilian, and not . soldier. Notwithstanding all this
however, there 10 still nrm impression that Governor
Seymour will be chosen President OF the Convention, and
that he will nominate Mcclellan, and is generally
believed that should this occur any opposition to him
will be too weak to am, unit TO any thing.
There s some talk that In the event Of McClelan's
nomination . bolt will occur another convention be
called, and ultra peace nominated. The McClei-
anies disbeevs this, say that should such
be pursued its only effect will be strengthen thsir
didate.
