The delegates bave heard so mach talk that they are hardly willing to listen to suggestions, except from in- fuential persons whom they respect. A few of these are exercising a marked influence, The Pendleion forces preserve their enthusi. asm and confidence, The managers are busy and their labors are sysiematic, and tell visibly upon the delegations heretofore uncommiiied, They claim that their condidate is the only one for whom popular demonsiratious have been made, and thelrarguments toshow Prndle.on’s Availability have removed the impress.ovs of many Southersers who were inclincd for a militsry nomination.
