neither the friends of Gen. Huutou nor Of MIR.

nominate for that position.
The convention will probably remain IN SEES

It's supposed that the committee on ere
dcntials cannot flush their laborS short of one
day. The nomination will, therefore, hardly
be made before Thursday.
Caucussts will be the order Of the day from
this time out.
The friends OF both Mr.. Neale and General
Hunjou are firm and enthusiastic, and there IS
