DELEGATES ARRIVING.
Delegates to the Convention have been
arriving here for several days, and no
rloms could be obtained for The past 48
hours at any Of the larger hotels. The
WASH gton evening trains have come in
from The North heavy ladened, and the
town is overlooking.
As yet there is comparatively little e1-
citement among the distinguished men
Already on the ground is Governor
Dennison and Tod, Simon Cameron, Rev.
DR.. Breckenridge, H. J. Raymond, Thad.
Stevens, s. A. Grow, Judge Williams Of
KY, ands whole host of Cougressmen and
other office holders from Washington. ~
Lincoln's Private Secretary, John G.
Nichols, is here.
There is no discussion on the subject OF
the Presidency. Mr.. Lincoln will have
no opposition, and the probability is that
he will be nominated by acclamatiOn.
There are several delegates here who
we're determined to vote for Governor
Chase in spite of his withdrawal, but one
Of them, having notified him Of it, has re-
oeived reply from him saying: /" have
no doubt the people Of your district and
Of the whole country are Overwhelmingly
for Mr.. Lincoln. You ought not to do
otherwise than Faithfully represent them,
and on no account must you, in any way
make use of my name"
The same feeling that prompt tho re-
nomin alton Of Mr.. Lincoln gives Mr.. Ham
lin better chance than any other man
for The Vice Presidency. There is Mt
united opposition to him and none Of the
other candidates have any considerable
strength.
New Yorkhss two candidates. ,S.Dickin
son and General Dix, and third Lyman
Tremain, is also mentioned, while th'
delegation from that state does not seem
to be particularly anxious for them.
Simon Cameron is understood to b
also candidate, though he would b
satisfied with the Presidency Of the con
ventiOn, or anything else he could get.
Andrew johnson, Of Tennessee, is ais
talked Of, but has little perceptibl
strength. For temporary President OF tn
Convention nobody but Rev. DR.. Brecken
ridge is talked Of and he will very prOba
bly, receive that honor. For permsnen
President Of the Convention there may b
something more of contest. Henry
Raymond is Of talked and Thsd Stevens
here working for Galushs A. Grow. TheI
ia very little doubt however that Ex-Go7
D,nnison Of Ohio, will be selected.
He will be presented as tire unanimOu
choice of the Ohio delegation, and Of neal
" all other Western delegations. 1t wi
: be urged in his favor that Ohio has give
up as q candidate for the Presidency COZ
fessedly the greatest man connected wit
: the Government, that she asks nOthin
whatever has no candidate for either th
: Presidency or Vice Presidency, and thl
=. her thirty-fve thousand hundred day
l men entitle her to The foremost considers
ton. As New York may have candids
l for the Presidency Raymond is not hkel
g to be pushed, and the same reason is Ik
. ly to operate on Grow.
9 The fight over the cOntesting CONVEX
e ton ef radical Missouri delegations wi
probably be settled by admitting the
both.
