MORNING SESSION.

a Early this morning there were indca-
tions that something was afleat among the
republican politicians The wireworkers
and ofIlce-seekers were wFangling on every
corner; and no sooherdId agentlenan from
the rural districts" appear than he was
nabbed and handed about and shaken by
the hand ia manner that was wonderful
to behold, and surprising to the individual
After a look at the list OF the delegates in
the morning Journal, We found that Bick-
hams scheme in the city worked well. The
manufactures and merchants not only went
TO the Primary Meeting, but they voted
themselves in as delegates, with a slight
sprinkling OF lawyers and workingmen-
Hoole for .example-just to cover the thing
over When the townships came in, the
thing began to look little blue. Tioo Of
the tiisfranChised townships Madison and
Perry-sent flee delegates TO the Conven-
tion. This foreboded bad work. a
About eleven the Convention organized.
MFR. Steele being called to the chair with
Dornbush, Skinner aud another as Secre-
taries. Everything was in confusion. Few
of those present seem to understand the
work1atleast Of those who took part. Brun-
ner, Who Fingers ont a few sab days at the
Assessors Office, seemed to be the ruling
spirit He amounted to ward politician
in the old Democratic party, but he has
been made a Major General IN his new
party. u 24a8j -
After not much work Committee on
4credential $ was appointed Then q call was
made for the townships. When Madison
was called, Lewis r. .Pfontz, Esq, reported
that Madison sent Jfce delegates; that she
did aotyTecognire the right Of The Central
Committee 10 cut do,on her representation %
t,Oo;;" and accordingly he handed in the
7 live nantes, which WerereteTed 10 the Com
4 linitteei WHEN Perry t6Iiishipw was called
she el8iniedfUe votes inslead of hoo, and
sent i'm five names also, which were re-
'3ai ferred. iqoS'I h9hapd--tnr
What the Committee on Credentials will
D., do we cannot say, But there is no organiza-
tion among the disfranchised townships and
they will be beaten. Besides the vote %
10 the city is SO largely increased that giving
.s the townships their old representation
would not materially change the result
Fl Unless the wards ARE cut down they viii
have;-eyerything their own way.
Next came the nominations, and oh wha
acloud ! II took avery long time to have
even the names announced Esq. Geo. NJ
POD Young is candidate for Probate Judge
Ii. II. Weakly for Clerk of Courts; and
r2 host OF new names for Infirmnry Director
Commissioner, &c There were candidate
enough for office to make, q party. Tall
about BREAD AN D. BUTTER BRIGADE! To
days exhibition beat It all hollow!
..,.l,. A short while before twelve the Conven-
ton adjourned to,meet at half past one
We hope 10 get the nominations before
~ going TO press. l.sE
At present writing Fox seems to have
the inside track for Clerk; the Probate
Judgeship lies between Ackerman and Par
rott; Dietrich will probably get the nom
Z ination for Auditor and Davidson fol
Sheriff. We pretend to no knowledge oil
the Treasury question, anddon't care about
the balanee,if. bgI u tBl}
