r. o,is+s between those of other candidates

section of the New-YOrk delegatio If 1t had been
knovn two weeks ago that Mr. Greeley would accept
tbe nomination there is no doubt but he could nave

national obligations according to their letter and
spirit Congress VIII be emphatically sustained, re-
pentant Rebels sincerely welcomed all prodigality
in money and lands denounced, and the fullest pro-
lection to our foreign born citizens demanded.
mInNIGHT-It is generally understood that Mr.

Mr. Greeley does not seek the nomination has rather
embarrassed those who willing TO support him
But il seems that after an informal ballot he VIII
get the nomination without opposition number OF
prominent men from different parts of the State held
@ caucus tonight and talked of the different candi-
dates two hours, and separated with the conviction
that the nomination of Mr.. Greeley would add 10000
votes to the ticket Everything is still at sea. The
best of feeling prevails 1t is impossible 10 make
definite prediction but every hour strengthens the
feeling in favor of Mr.. Greeley.
