ec ———————— EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union says, in reference tojthe Brooks and Sumner affair, that— ~‘ Every mail from the North brings evi- dence that good citizens are being awakened to the pereeption of the fact that political jug- glers are using the recent sffair in the Senate chamber between Mr. Brooks and Mr. Sum- ner for their own personal and political ad- vancement.’’ The Intelligencer, in speculating upon the probable nominee of the Cincinnati Conven- tion, says: “Whoever the fortunate individual may be, we sincerely hope he may bea man of ebaracter and virtue, and, if he should reach the chair of State, t be may prove his sense by transferring, as his very first act, all the absurd planks of his platform to the lumber of his garret.”” Both Union and Intelligencer sre devoted mainly to the proceedings of the Convention. —_—_—_—_—_— oe THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION. [ BDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. ] Cincinnati, June 4, 1856. This morning finds the Convention but fair- ly organized and prepared to proceed to busi- ness, if, indeed, it can be called organized until the New York question has been de- cided ; that being yet in abeyance. The sessions of the Committee on Creden- tials, before which, as in 1852, the New York question has been argued, have been most in- teresting—the four orators (two on a side) speaking before it, being gentlemen of great forensic ability. Gov. Seymour and L. B. Shephard, Esq., of New York city, are the orators for the Softs, and —— Beardsley and a gentleman who:e name I have forgotten, those for the Hards. It is undeniably true that the result of this discussion has been to create a very unani- mous public opinion in behalf of the Softs. Perhaps this has been, in some measure, owing to the discretion of their conduct in the pub- lic places of the city, and the frankness with which they have, from the beginning, pro- claimed a willingness to bow to any decision of the Convention in their case, and their deter- mination to sustain heartily the action of the Convention, be that what it may. Tho last argument before this committee tovk place last night. It is rumored this morning that the report of the committee will be in favor of admitting the Softs. Yet I am inclined to be- lieve that the decision of the Convention will be in favor of excluding both—the question of the nomination being in part at the bottom of that policy. The discussions upon various points in the meetings of the Virginia delegation have been exceedingly interesting and able, the nomina- tion question being really at the bottom of al- most everything considered. The bare record of the propositions offered therein, and the votes upon them, will astound the Democracy of Virginia when duly spread before them. The speeches never can be, as they were not reported. I shall probably have more to say on this subject dn my return home. The dis- cussions in the Tennessee delegation have also been animated and earnest. A very determined effort has been made to Secure the Vice Presidential nomination for Ex-Gov. Aaron V. Brown, which has been the subject of very general comment here. I have no idea that Mr. Brown can succeed. At present, opinion here runs strongly in favor of General Quitman, because he has in- dignantly spurned every approach that looked to getting him to bargain for the nomination. With all my indisposition to his peculiar views upon the subject of our foreign relations, bis course here has been so manly and high toned that I trust he will be the Vice Presidential nominee. Such aman in such times is, deed, valuable to the public service, not what may be the peculiarities of tics. in- Tecare his poli- W. D. W—da. ——————~—~re -__ Book Notices.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Mr Buchanan Nominated.—By reference to our telegraphic news in snother column, it will be seen thatin the Cincinnati Conven- tion, this morning, on the/seventeenth ballot, the Hon. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, was nowinated as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, having received 296 votes. Frightened by their Falsehoods —The Black Republicans are evidently becoming alarmed by the indications of the forthcoming reaction which never fails to follow upon the heels of misrepresentations such as have been made in relation to the Sumner whip- ping. The New York Times snuffs the danger afar off, and in its Wednesday's issue attempts to retract some of its untruthful statements. It says: “The testimony taken by the committee, while establishing conclusively the leading features of the assault, tends, in some inciden- tal particulars, to relieve Mr. Brooks froin censure which the reports of the case elicited and justiied.’’ The leading ‘‘ features of the assault’’ are made up of the single fact that Mr. Brooks chastised Mr. Sumner with a hollow gutta perch walking stick. Again the Times says: «But in another particular the testimony corrects statements that have been current to the discredit of Mr. Brooks. It has been re- rted generally that his first blow prostrated r. Sumner, and that the subsequent blows were inflicted while he wasdown. This is disproved by the evidence.’’ - The Times then goes on to make an admig, sion which is more important than all. It is in these words : ‘* His fall, so far as appears, was caused by Mr. Brooks’ jerking him down ; and after the fall, it seems clear that no blows were struck.”’ So that Sumner, instead of being knocked down, was, as Senator Iverson testifies, pulled down by the lappel of the coat, and was not struck after he was down. In another part of the article in the Times, it is intimated that, had it not been for “a desk between Brooks and Sumner,’’ another head than Sumner’s would have been cut and bruised. This is the portion to which we allude : ‘Mr. Iverson omits all mention of an im- portant fact etated by every other witness, and quite essential to the truth of the case, namely: that a desk was between Brooks id Sumner at the outset, and that this, of itself, would very greatly impede any effort that Mr. S. might make to defend himself.” So that, at last, in this whipping business we have these conspicuous facts : First. Brooks did not disable, or paralyze, or blind Sumner by the first blow, and thus the latter was left in condition to use his pro- digious muscular strength to the extent his manhood and courage prompted. Second. Sumner did defend himself, and was whipped instead of whipping his antago- nist. Conviction. —Information has been re- ceived at the Pension Office of the conviction, at St. Louis, Missouri, on the 4th inst., of Marcus A. Wolf, for the forging of land war- rants. He is said to be a wealthy banker in that city. In the House, to-day, about fifteen mem- bers were present. After a minute's session, an adjournment till to-morrow took place.

[SY TeELEGRapPd.| FOURTH DAY. Cincinnati, June 5.—The Convention reas sembled at 10 o'clock this morning. Mr Stevenson, of Kentucky, rose to make a report from the Committee on Credentials The Committee had not agreed, but repre- senting the majority of it, us he did, he was ready to read the same if the Convention pleased, when order was restored. He claimed the indulgence of the Convention while he spoke the sentiments by which the majority had been actuated. They had given three days attention to the case, and had heard both parties claiming the seats; after the able arguments from both sections, and that party had agreed to stand upon the noble platform of the Convention, and pet a ip the honor of both sections to unite and make common battle for the nomi- nee of the Convention, it was lamentable that the great Democracy should be rent by dis- sensions, but they have passed away, and both have agreed to bury the past in oblivien, uni- ting on the last two platforms adopted in New York State. Mr Stevenson then read the report and pre- amble, as modified, reco; ising the Softs as a regularly organized portion of the Democratic party and the Hards as an organized body— Resolving, That the two sections be now consolidated ; that the Softs have twenty-four delegates and the Hards twenty-six delegater, and that the minority shall not be overruled by the majority. Also resolved, That the delegates be allow- ed to register their votes on the platform. Senator Bayard, of Delaware, as chairman of the committee, was bound to make a mi- nority report. The minority felt that they had uo right to make the distinction between the delegations, but admit both with equal Tepresentations |lmmense applause.] It the committee had been forced to make the state- ment which leads them to this conclusion they regretted it, but could not flinch from the duty. he report reviews the action of the commit- tee, and goes into an argument to show that the Hards are the regular Democracy and the Softs seceders, sometimes acting together and atothertimesseparate. The report concludes with the following resolution : ‘ Resolved, That the two delegations from New York be authorized to select each thirty- five delegates, and that the seventy delegates thus elected be admitted as the delegations of the two sections of the New York Demoorac: to this Convention, and that they be allowed one hour to report their selection; the two delegations to vote separately ; each party to be entitled to seventeen votes; the vote of the State to be cast by each alternately by the two delegations, the Softs casting the vote [Immense cheerin, Senator Bayard said that in the resolution proposed by the minority, as before the Con- vention, not one word was said to create any bad feeling in either section, but to put them on an equal footing. The Softshad thusonly since last January stood on the national plat- form, and the only claim to ‘ive them supe- riority over the Hards was at they hada larger vote on the Abolition platform and when local matters favored their ticket.

Florida declined voting. On the announcement of the vote the wild- est enthusiasm was manifested, and deafening cheers resounded in the Convention and gal- leries. Mr. Preston, of Ky , moved a reconsidera- tion of the vote and to lay that motion on the table. A committee of five was then appointed to inform the New York delegations of the action of the Convention. The Convention then adjourned till 2 0’clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. « At 2o0’olock the Convention reassembled; when Col. Preston, from the committee ap- pointed tp inform the New York delegation of the action of the Convention, reported that they had performed that duty, and that the New York delegates were in the hall. Mr. Halit, of Louisiana, entered the protest of his delegation against the majority and minority reports of the committee on creden- tials. Mr. Mead, of Va , moved that New York be now allowed to vote onthe platform. Carried unanimously When the vote was called, Mr. Ludlow rose and cast 17 votes for the ‘* Softs”” for peor 2 form: entire. |Cheers] Judge Beardsley then rose and cast 18 votes for the platform entire.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE Gzorgetown, June 6, 1856. A heavy thunder storm passed over our city yesterday afternoon from northeast, ac- companied by one of the most drenching rains weever saw. For more than an hour, our streets in may places were completely covered by a perfect sheet of water. Severe as the storm was with us, we learn from persons from Virginia that it did not extend further west than the Little Falls bridge. The Sabbath school excursion of the West Georgetown church to Fort Washington yes- terday, was a very delightful affair. The fine steamer Alice C. Price, Capt. Baker, which conveyed them down, was crowded, and every thing connected with the trip was of the most agreeable character The hand- some present of the school to W. H. Edes, Esq., was presented by one of the teachers— Miss Troy—in a very neat address, and re- ceived by Mr. Edes in a very appropriate manner. We learn that the beautiful residence on our heights, belonging to Mrs. Col. Carter, and latel occupied by Mr. Crampton, the British Minister, bas been rented by Mr. Sar- tiges, the French Minister, as his future resi- dence during his sojourn in the District. We can assure the public, on the authority of Dr Isaac 8. Lauk, the health officer of our port that the rumor which has got into cir- culation that the patient who was taken from on board the barque Wm. Chase, lying in the stream below cur city, yesterday, was suffer- ing from the yellow fever, is false. The Doc- tor assured us this morning that he found no case of any kind of malignant fever on board. Merely as a matter of caution, however, the vessel will be kept at quarantine several days. We are not yet able to tell what effect the foreign news by the Niagara will have upon the flour and grain markets. Doubtless it will tend somewhat to unsettle, and somewhat depress them. The former was held yester- day at $6 for good shipping brands, and the latter at $1 35a$t 40 for and $1.45a$1 47 for white wheat of good qualities Corn 45c. white and yellow Spectator. i> Fresh Congress Wa received this day, direet from the Spring.
