DAILY COMMERCIAL This spirited and spright-
ly daily, published at Wilmington, Del, by Jen-
kins Il Atkinson, has now entered upon its sixth
volume. When the publishers first launched
their little bark upon the tide Of popular favor
we have no doubt, it was with misgiyings and
fears az to ultimate success. But boldly they
committed the enterprise to the untried future.
Success crowned their efforts almost from the
beginning, and to-day the COMMERCIAL Ia a per-
manont Institution in Delaware. The people OF
Wilmington, in fact the whole Peninsula, have
taken hold OF 1t and it is becoming great favor
ite with all classes. Indeed, this is not to be
wondered at when we remember that it so ably
and fearlessly advocates the material prosperity
and the solid interests Of the people who dwell
between two great inland seas. Its articles on
the peach culture, subject OF the greatest in-
terest to onr citizens with fund of other infor-
nation on this and kindred subjects is more
than worth its subscription price, Then its neat
Typography; its choice selections; its compa-
on of the current news of the day and it's great
{, are to find out and publish all the incidents of
the peninsula, is a feature in this paper to be
found nowhere else.

speakers were two members Of the Ways and Means
Committee-Messrs Kerr and Maynard. In the
cloak -rOoms and Hobbies, however, there were

Yesterday that the Convention would break
up IN a row had entirely ebbed away. There was no
longer any jesting or ridicule about the Liberal
movement The faces Of the Administration men
showed plainly that they considered it about the
most solemn and portentous affair that they had
ever encountered IN their political experience. The
only men who looked happy on the Republican side
were a few members who have all along secretly
sympathized with the Cincinnati movement. They
went about their business with a smile and 81

CINCINNATI, May 2.-The proceedings Of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, of which Horace White Of
The Chicago Tribune was made Chairman, have been
strenuOusly kept secret.
1t may be safely said, however that their sub
stance was follows: On the Tariff question. they
first presented the language CT tho Missouri call,
which was warmly pressed as inality by Judge
Hoadley Of Ohio COL Grosyenor Edward Atkinson,
and David A. Wells.
Several Of these gentlemen threatened to bolt the
nomination of the Convention, unless this much
was conceded them. The discussion was warm
throughout, though rarely angry.
They soon found themselves outnumbered. and
finally. on a vote for resolution offered by Mr..
Defrees, substantially embOdying the proposition Of
NewYor for a reference TO Congress Districts, two
thirds Of the States positively instructed the said
Committee to report plank embodying thai prin-
cipls.
The plane which they finally adopted was in
tended t. convey tho idea that it was
. concession to Ney-Yock; but it adroitly
used part of the hngusCe Of one Of David Dudley
Fields resolution. and was drBwn by J1dge Hoadly

it may be safely stated to be aboat as follows:

The programme agreed on toni ut for tO-mor-
rows action on the subject is asfOlloTs On the pre-
sentation of the majority report the representatives
on the Committee from New-York, Pennsylvania,
tho District of ColumbIaaad other State VIII pse
sent q minority report, simply announcing their
non-eoncurrence on the Tariff resolution. Col.
Alexander Mcclure viii thereupon present a resolu-
ton embodyiDg substantially the NewYoVk principle
and on this the fight VIII be thrown iutO the Con-
venti0n. Il its temper remains as decided as shown
in the late votes tonight, the triumph is secuae.
The Free Traders, however, threaten uespeIdOo
contest and unlimited speech-making.
In consequence OF this struggle the talk about
nominations has attracted less attention, and al
though the scheming and working for rival candi-
dates is az lively as little definite conclu
sions can be reached.
The belief however is that tho Trumbull strength
will be transferred as far possible, to Adams, and
that the contest will ultimately be narrowed to
Adams on the one hand and Greeley and Davis on
the other.
