Previous to announcement Of the vote of
the ballot, Guthrie, Alleghany. changed his
vote from his cousin, Col. Guthrie, to Davis,
of Philadelphia, when the Allegheny dele
CATION followed, with one or two exceptions,
in the same course. The Philadelphians
cheered. The cheering increased when
Beamlsh, OF backawanna, and McMullin,
of Lycoming, changed from Bogert TO Da
Wis. For the next ten minutes, amidst con-
siderable confusion; the delegates rapidly
changed their votes to Noble aud Davis,
while the greatest enthusiasm existed.
AS it became evident that one Of the two
must speedily be nominated, the excitement
became intense, when Andrew Parker of
the Fifteenth Ward of Philadelphia, chang.
ed his vote from Davis to Noble; and it was
increased when George McGuwan, of the
Second Ward of Philadelphia, changed his
vote from Davis to Andw. II. Dill, of Union.
THIS did not create the stampede in the
Philadelphia delegation which was expect
ed, as John M. Calnbell, OF the Fifth Ward,
and James I. Larkns, of the Eighth Ward,
quickly changed from Davis tn Noble.
