WASHINGTON CITY:
.......-June A, 1872
The Philadelphia Convention.

The national republican convention will meet
in Philadelphia to- morrow 10 nominate candi-
dates for President and Vice President of the
United States. The delegation from each state
will be equal 10 twice the number OF Senators
and Representatives of such state in Congress;
and each Orgsni zed territory, including the Dis
trict Of Columbia, Is to have two delegates in
the convention with the right to vote. This
will give, if all the states and territories are
fully represented, lis senatorial, 56S represent
alive, and % territorial delegates total of
Ijl, making 500 votes necessary to effect q nom
nation Livery state has elected full delega-
ton. with alternates. The territories concern
ing whose delegations no mention has yet been
made are Arizona, Dakota, and Idaho; but it Is
possible that delegations from these sections of
the country may yet put in an appearance.
There are among the delegates to the conven-
ton one United States Senator-Powell Clayton
OF Arkansas-4 ex-United States Senators, Is
members of the present Congress, 20 ex-mem-
bers OF Congress, 2ex-Attorney Generals of the
United States. 2 Governors and Lieutenant
Governors of states, IA ex-Governors of states,
one United States Judge, and nearly 20 promi-
nent colored men.
The conventions in all the states except three
either formally endorsed the denomination OF
General Grant, or in set terms instructed their
delegates to vote for him in the convention
The delegations unfettered by instructions are
those from Connecticut, Missouri ana South
Carolina. 1t was understood, at the time the
convention was held in Connecticut, in January
last, that the delegation was almost unanimously
in favor Of Grant; and the Missouri convention
pledged the party of the state to support the
nominee OF the convention, which was about
equivalent to endorsing Grant. In South Caro-
lima only was there any discernible lukewarm-
the mi Int 4 haSh aar
that the dissatisfaction was directed against
Senator Sawyer rather than against the Presi-
dent.
AS regards the Vice Presidency it seems
certain that Mr.. COlfaS will go into the conven-
ton with decided preponderance of votes over
any other candidate, but perhaps with not a
majority on the first ballot. There seems to be
quite disposition, however, to renominste the

By the following letter, it will be seen

casion, will be compensated in a measure

MY DEAR SIR: on the 18th inst- while
in New York city learned that had been
placed upon the Greeley Electoral Ticket
and telegraphed at once to friend here that
imperative private duties forced me TO de-
cline the position, and requested him to give
immediate notice of the fact to the Commit
tee authorized to fill vacancies. On reach
ing home last night, after months ao-
sence from the State, learned that my tel
egram had never been received, and write
now TO say that business engagements form
ed before my selection as elector, and from
which l cannot now be released, render u
impossible for me to make thorough can
vass of my district, and therefore, l must
decline to serve. l am sensible OF the honor
done me in my selection for this important
position, and would certainly accept it If
could perform its duties fully. This can
not do, situated as | am now, and therefore
| decline to be elector; but viii work for
the ticket to the extent of my ability.
Yours, very truly,

We have from time to time In the in
terest of producer and merchant, buyer
and eonsumer-indeed, all classes concern
ed in the cotton culture-collected the
most reliable information accessible in
regard TO the prospects of the growing
crop. We would direct especial atten-
ton to the reports which are contained
In another column. They are gloomy
beyond the apprehensions of those who
were least hopeful several weeks ago; but
it is worse than folly to disguise the truth
from ourselves and frem those who have
a common interest with us in the produc-
ton of our chief staple. Heretofore the
New York Herald, World, St. Louis
Republican and other newspapers pub
hshed at the great commercial centres
have done our people the favor to pub
fish the reports which we have presented
in THE CLARION in reference to the crop,
and we trust they will continue to do so.
We are well aware that persons interest
ed IN keeping down prices will combat
the estimates of short crop by the fact
of the early picking and preparation for
market, but observant persons know that
this itself is one of the strongest eviden-
ces of short crop. The drouth and hot
sun have withered the plant and caused
the bolls to open prematurely. In many
fields two thirds of the crop is already
open.
