NEW YoRK, June 25, I86S.-The bond
holding interest and the opponents of Pen
dieton are relying greatly upon the action
Of the Soldiers and Sailors' y Convention
that isao be held simultaneous with or
previous 10 the Democratic Convention.
They viii nominate Gen. Hancock for
President, and Thomas A. Hendricks, Of
Indiaua, lsr Vice President, and expect by
this pressure in advance to dictate the
Democratic nominations +.
The mathematician men claim that they
have seducsd WesGern instructed delegates,
and that MIR. Petldlei0n will betopposed

claim that through the Manhattan Club,
and other social arrangements, they will
obtain the Southern delegates. The Pee
dleton men deny this, and say the North
west is solid, rs well as three quarters of
the South. q sli..-aa
The Pendleton men talk of these caudi-
dates for Vice President, viz; G. w. Cass,
Of Pennsylvania; Gov. English, Of Con-
necticut; Mayor Hoffman, of New York,
and John @. Adams, of Massachusetts,.
Belief is that with Pendleton some popular
Pennsylvania will be selected for Vice
President. Adams is objected TO, because
his father, as Minister to England has
been opposed to the Fenians, and The Fee
mans will not discriminate between father
and son. Except for supposed Western
DETECTION, the anti Pendleton men have no
hope, and would abandon the contest in
despair.B -p. -.fsiaBGl gH.a-5al5i - Z.
