After suspension OF the rules In the Convention
tonight the speeches Of Cassius NJ. Clay ana Judge
Mathews were listened to with interest, In quiet ;
but when the question OF proceeding to the nomi-
nations again suggested the Convention
once more plunged prccipitatcly into noisy de-
mOnstratons ana partial confusion, various
speakers endcavorng vocilerousy to obtain
the floor nj the same moment. Discussion took
the reins OF control In It's teeth and followed Its own
wilful course. In vain did the gavel OF the pre-
siding officer clatter out its orders upon the table.
There was % spirit abroad IN the Convention re-
solved to manifest itself ana be heard IL was plain
that body was divided into two strong sections
one anxious to prccipilate the immediate presenta-
ton of candidates, without regard to what the plat
form is 10 be; the other equally and deter
mined to stave OF such action until the report OF
the Committee on Resolutions could be definitely
acted upon. 10 effect the latter object all the ma
chincry Of delay, resolutions, motions, speeches

itself IN interruption OF Edward AtkinsOn's
remarks explanatory of the action in the Commit
tee ON Resolutions, raising the point OF
order that the Speaker could not consistently make
n report of scmi-ofical character concerning the
dOings not officially communicated To the Conyen-
tion. Finally, worn out with the unavailing strug-
gle Of parliamentary tactics the body voted to
adjourn until ten O'Clock Friday morning convinced
that nothing but dissension ana vehement discus
sion could result from further continuance Of the
session.
rHE TARIFF PLANK.
" may be concluded from information received from
a member OF the Committee Resolutions that the
resolution on the tariff question which had been
agreed upon In committee contained the spirit OF
the Missouri plank; though 10 avoided what had
seemed TO he most objectionable to prOtectiOnstY,
owing tn the overwhelming vote In the Convcn-
ton suspending the rules IL, Indicated that the

ably he shaped 50 as to meet the views expressed
In the Convention tonight. This twO-thirds vote,
1t Is claimed, shows the strength OfMr. Greeley. The
Southern States voted almost unanimously In favor
Of snspending the rules and the New England
states largely: New YORK voted 60 yeas to 3 nays;
