posed to the States, and were not ratified by the
States, in the Just and true sense Of the Consti-
tuition, and we're not ratified by the full and fair
consent Of the people Of three-fourths Of the
States, but were foully gotten up, and their rati
loation forced upon eleven of the States, by
pains penalties, and military power, and the
State OF Delaware having rejected them, as q
sovereign State, is not morally bound by them. "

INCIDENTs OF THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TALK
FEELING AMONG THE MASSES. &c, &c.
Buttonholng was the order OF the day. and
inc USUAL qubbtOnb pfOpOunueu were 'dOW
about Greeley" "Do you think there IL any
danger of the Baltimore Convention nominating
him 2" and il assured the prospect was favora-
BILE to his being nominated, the general reply
was. We'll wont vote for him;" or II will
vote for Grant, or wont vote at all"
1t was noticeable, that more than the usual
number OF the rank and file Of the party were
present yesterday, and were deeply interested
in the proceedings, one excited individual
from the Forest" saying that he thought he
on1d hlfv,oa a,,1 NHafN
did not adopt Greeley"
" Boss Given" when the motion was adopted
to allow each county an increased representa-
tion Of members, was we'll pleased, and ex-
claimed There that saves Wilmington" docs
1t, though p
William Dean, on the train to Dover yesterday,
was earnest and outspoken against the action
Of tho County Convention in regard to Represen
tation according to Population, and would not
be quiet even after being advised by some of his
Democratic colleagues that there were - Repub-
lican reporters in the cars. William cannot be
scared.
The general feeling of the Wilmington dele
gates on the way up from Dover was that, they
went, they saw but didn't conquer yet in the
face OF such utter failure to get represents
tion according to population, some of the dele
gates seemed profoundly thankful for what they
did gain, but Dean and his followers maintained
that they were less OF men now than ever.
There was larger representation of the press
present yesterday than ever before, at State
Convention. Amongst the State papers repre-
sented were the COMMERCIAL, EUery Euening,
Daily Gazette and Aduertiser, of Wilmington
the Middletown Transcript Smyrna Times, Del
d,odre Intelhgenoer, Deldwdrean, Peninsula
Ne,os and Advertiser, and the SUSSEX journal,
and although the reporters all sat at the same
table and interchanged notes, it was amusing to
to see how careful many of the delegates were
to avoid coming in contact with the reporters
for Republican papers this feeling even extend
ed to the Eoery EUeRing.
The presence Of 80 many editors and re-
porters was particularly obnoxious to Sam.
Townsend, who when a certain commit
tee was about to be appointed, suggested that
the delegation appoint, and not let parcel OF
editors and reporters control the Convention.
