B.1r1soRr. Tuesday AN.


Nonominton yet and the Convention has just
,diourned. We have done nothing the whole
aay but examine the credentials Of Delegates and
choose the officers Of the meeting. Still we are
oo, fully organized, for we have as yet no rules
adopted for the government oi the BODY.


You will be amused to learn that MIR. Hen
,,,cvs p WRIGHT of Penn. has been made per.
nanent Chairman. This is with a view to get
the vote of Pennsylvania in favor Of adopting the
two third rule


We'll, Sir, this Committee (ei twenty. five TO
nominate officers of the Loco Convention, there
being no delegates for South Carolina there
stood on the first ballot:


For Dromrooe 2; Hopkins Va 9: W:;gh, =


They stood so twice. Well, among the we're
TaoMpsoN, FRENCH, Cross and CoLarrrT, all
four Congressman violently opposed to Van Bu-
rem had they chosen they could have cast their
votes for Hopkins (s,rong ant;-ven Buren, on
the ID ballot and so elected him but they stuck
10 Wright. The anti-Vans say that they consid-
er PENNSYLVANIA pledged therefore 10 vote tomor-
row morning in favor OF the two-thlrd rule. II
PENNSYLVANIA does this, OF coutse The rule will be
adopted, and Mr.. Van Buren cannot get two
thirds OF the votes If this is done, the Van Bu-
rem men declare they will not touch Cass, but
take up Buchanan, Com. Stewart, or some one
else.


There was quite smart discussion in this eve-
ning's Session between Ben. BUTLER and Senator
WALKER and Hon. Mr.. SAUNDERS of N. C.-,he
former against the adoption Of the two-third rule,
which he candidly admitted would destroy the
hopes of Mr.. Van Buren; and the latter IN favor
of the rule. Walker said it was a democratic
rule and was used in 1910. Butter dared up at this
and said he could not think OF lS40 without think
ing of hard cider, coons, and og.cabins and
beasty orgies, and he stamped and jumped about
very unnily, amid loud applause Gen. Saunders
and Walker however were, either OF them, more
than match for him in the argument.


Mr. JEwErr of Maine proposed TO choose a
Committee lone from each State who should
prepare set Of rules for the Convention.


Mr.. SAUNDERS moved to strike out this resoln-
tion and adopt the rules Of former Conventions
fMr. BUTLER moved TO adopt all except the two
third rule. This he withdrew, and then the Com
rnittee on Officers made their report, which was
adopted unanimously, and the Convention ad-
iourned till 9 tomorrow without any discussion
On the rules at all.


The following is the number of the delegates
in attendance:


Rhode island Connecticut s. NewYork sc, wJersey
Pennsy & Delaware Mary yand 8. Virginia 3d. ,nIca
tuck M "a Ono g Indiana L. Illinois g Michigan s. Missouri
