LOUISVILLE, September Large
accessions to the delegations arrived by
trains to-day, so that it now looks as il
the convention would be composed OF
four or five hundred delegates. The
/ delegates are fine-loOking men, but are,
! generally, not well known as politicians.
| Senator Bayard, Of New jersey; Judge
| Woodward, Of Tennessee; Hon. J. Proc
tor Knott, of Kentucky; Chauncey G.
Burr, of New jersey; and Hon. w. NJ.
4 Cory, of Ohio, are perhaps best known.
/ Nearly all the States will be repre-
sented. There is an absence from the
South of men of prominence. a good
deal of excitement was created among
the friends of this movement by the
discovery of a scheme to force the nOm-
ination Of Greeley by taking possession
of the convention, or through the ju-
diciOus application of force, by such
confusion as to prevent the nomination
Of O'COnOr. 1t is alleged that a large
number of Greeley men will make
an attempt to get into the convention
as representatives from States not
formally organized, and attempt to force
the convention into the policy Of refrain
ing from a nomination altogether, or, if
possible, press Greeley on the conven-
tion; in which effort aid is to be received
from a well-paeked lobby. III this plan
does not work, through the vigilance of
the COMMITTEES ON Credentials, then the
convention is to be broken up in row,
and the movement in effect destroyed.
There is no doubt that some such
scheme has been canvassed, but whether
any have seriously thought to attempt
to put il into force is not known. How
ever, great excitement and indignation
prevails at the headquarters of the DEM
0crats over the discovery of the scheme
of the Greeley men to take possession.
They have determined to resist, and
make straight nominations. There is a
large number of Greeley Liberals in the
city, and, as far as Louisville is con-
cerned, little sympathy is shown for the
straight movement
Senator Bayard is to be permanent
Chairman. The ticket that has been
most favorably canvassed is: Charles
O'COnor, for President, and John
Quincy Adams, for Vice-President.
There is a letter from the latter in the
hands of a friend in which he declines
the honor. The convention will meet
at one o'clock.
The purport of the letter from John
Quincy Adams has not been made pub
lie, but it is known that a dispatch
was sent to Charles O'Conor this even
ing, informing him that if he would
take the first place Adams would the
second place. No reply has yet been
received, but it is understood that if
Adams should not be nominated, Ex-
Senator Fitch. of Indiana, will pToba-
bly, be the man for Vice-President.
The New York delegation numbers
forty men, representing thirty Congress
sional districts, and more are expected.
The delegates here represent twenty
million dollars worth of property. The
delegation being displeased with the
courthouse, appointed a committee to-
night to procure a hail for the c0nven-
ton,
