WASHINGTON, May 24.-Some time ago
a movement was inaugurated to nominate
a man from PENNSYLVANIA on the ticket
with Gen. Grant for the Vice Presidency.
This nomination was to be compromise
among all the other candidates, whereby
the differences existing between the several
factions of the Republican party OF that
State were to be consolidated and brought
together. 1t was argued that this would
assist materially in carrying the Keystone
State for Grant. When the matter was
bloached to Cameron and other leading
Pennsylyanians, they regarded it favorably,
and named Senator Scott as their choice
for the place. Col. FOrneS is said to have
demurred to Scott, on the ground that,
while he had no national strength, his
nomination would not unite the party In
PENNSYLVANIA. He urged that Gov. Curtin
be taken up; first, because he represents
the main faction Of the Republican party
in PENNSYLVANIA, and second, because he
has great strength with the people Of the
State. Cameron OPPOSED Curtin; and said
he could not support him. Forney declared
that he would not support Scott, Whereup-
on the whole project was abandoned;
Cameron now says he will support forhey
If the latter agrees to have nothing TO 90
with the Curtin faction.
Forney says he don't want the place, ,es-
pecialy if there are conditions attached TO
his acceptance of it. The Pennsylvania
delegation to the Philadelphia Convention
is not instructed on the Vice Presidency,
and an effort will be made to divide 1t be-
tween Wilson and Colfax. 1t is understood,
howev, r, that no candidate will be presented
from Pennsylvania.
Dan. voorhees, Speech.
So much has been said lately regarding
the propriety of the speech delivered in the
House recently by Mr.. voorhees,, ofIndiana
! il behalf of the Administration, and sc
much has been claimed for it on the GROUND
of its effect upon his party and the country
| that some pains have Been taken to ascer-
tain the number of copies printed, and by
| whom they were sent ont. 1t is usual WheI
a strong speech is made in Congress for th'
partisans whose principles are advocated u
| purchase large numbers, frequently amount
! ing to many thousands, foT the purpose o.
sending them to their constituents. From
the parade on the part Of the loyal Admins
tration editors and Representatives,and by
small number of the Democracy, it wa
thought that Mr.. Voorhees, speech mus
have had an extraordinary circulation. In
facts are that only three thousand sever
hundred copies ofthe speech were ordered
and they were divided up as follows: Rel
resentative Van Trump, of Ohio, two thou
sand COPIES: Representative Sypher, OF Lou
isiana, Administration Republican, on
thousand copies; and Representative DAME
w. Voorhees,, of the Sixth District OF II
diana, seven hundred copies.
