The proceedings of the Baltimore Convention, which we give in our columns to-day, up to last evening, are extremely interesting in the present position of parties throughout the country, in refe- rence to the Presidency, The character of the de- bates during the first day, and, no doubt yesterday also, appears to have been exciting and picturesque, to an extent almost as great as the first day’s pro- -ceedings of the National Assembly of France. There was probably about as much order and re- gularity in the one asin the other. Certainly, the Baltumore Convention, composed of delegates of the omnipotent democratic party of the United States, has not much advantage in point of order, regularity and decorum, over that of any conven- tion that ever met, be it Fourier or Mormon. The proceedings thus far, indicate the chance that we may have a revolution in parties before next November, throughout this Union. On the firet day, they with some tact, avoided the knotty difficulty between the two nets of delegates from New York, and threw the responsibility upon a committee of their own body, only requiring that both sets should please themselves to agree to such nomination as the Convention should grind out, after the proper voting. It appears from the report which we received last night, by telegraph, from Baltimore, that this committee was engaged all day, yesterday, without coming to any positive determination, other than what would be highly offensive to the barnbumers, and cause them to secede entirely from the Convention. The chances, therefore, according to all appearancesare, that the barnburners will secede and erect a separate and independent standard of their own. The intima- tion thrown out, that Mr. Polk had written a let- ter favorable to their principles and policy, in or- der to defeat Mr. Buchanan’s nomination, will hardly mend the big rent in the breeches of the democracy. Some of the features presented by the conven- tionare amusing and picturesque in the highest degree. Not the least of these characteristics, is the eplendid and graphic prayer, pronounced at the opening of this venerable Convention, by the cele- brated and reverend Theophilus Fisk, an ultra radical clergyman of the church of God. This prayer is the most original thing of the present day; but the most curious part of the affair, is to see a body of politicians, who care far more for the spoils and plunder of office—for the division of the one huudred millions of taxes, that will be die- tributed during the next four years, than for all the prayers, and all the sermons, and all the invocations that could occupy time from now to the last day. A Convention of political bro- kers, invoking the blessings of Heaven on their doings, is very much like a meeting of the inmates of the highly respectable State pnson ateSing Sing, | deputing one of their mem ers to pray for the suc- cess of their unconverted brethren beyond the lim- its of that respectable establishment, and who have | not been yet incarcerated, by order of the judge, for their sins here below. On the whole, the convention, its proceedings, its prayers, and its principles, are all interesting | The prospect now is, of a complete and irrevoca- | ble separation of the barnburners of New York and elsewhere, from the old hunkers of the democratic party. If the leaders of the barnburners are men | of principle and integrity, and mean what they say, | there will be a revolution, and nothing less. We | wait for the denowement. | Foreign Correspondence of the Herald. We give in our columnsto-day, numerous inte- | Teating letters which were crowded out yesterday, | and which we received from our various foreign | correspondents in Europe, by both the Caledonia at Boston, and the Hermann at this port. ‘These letters embrace a variety of interesting and graphic intelligence from Paris, and other parts of Europe. In Paris we have four correspondents who observe the varying scenes in that capital, and in that re- Public, from different points of view, and who give us their impressions and the facts, without | Prejudice, and untainted with foregone conclu- | sions. We believe that the foreign correspondence of the New York journals is the best in this country. | Before the breaking out of the revolution in France two or three of the newspapers of this city had | employed correspondents in England and on the Continent, to furnish them with | more graphic and intelligible sketches of the movements there, than sometimes could be pro- cured through the English or continental papers.— At this moment, the foreign correspondence of any importance, from the old world, is confined inthis city, to three or four journals. We may name the | Herald, the Courter and Enquirer, the Journal of Commerce, the Commercial Advertiser, and the | Tribune, as the only journals of any importance, | which employ or pay for foreign correspondence. | | But, the character of this correspondence, and the mode in which the several correspondents collect and serve up the news to each of those newspapers, are very different, and very opposite to each other, | in some respects. | The correspondents of the Courier § Enquirer and Commercial Advertiser, are evidently persons imbued with English notions of political freedom, government, and human rights. The views fur- nished by those writers, of the movements in Franoe and England, are altogether of a different charac- ter from those which would be given by intelligent Americans, from either of those countries. With- out any intention to misrepresent the progress of republicanism in France, the correspondents of these two journals natarally present an incorrect and unexact picture of the movements in that in- teresting country. Every event that takes place there, is understood in the worst sense, and those incidents that seem favorable to the cause of demo- | eracy or republicanism, are passed over in silence, or distorted from their proper meaning. The | spirit of their correspondence is against republi- | canism, either practical or theoretical, and in fi favor of the government of the few, to a very remarkable extent. The correspondence of the Tribune is altope- ther of a different character, Imbued with all the wild notions of the wildest socialism, whether it be called Fourierism, socialism, communism, or any other iam, the Paris correspondent of that Jona | idea ofthe matural diffiultién which e¥ery | by m majority of 647, weer to have ad Rogunte oF comeet lic, and every popular government must experi ence, even in the midst of intelligence and favor- able tendencies; in developing its priociples. The defeat of tras in France, instead of being at- ' t t 1 t ne to how xis ainoug Uy " vple as a nation, Is attributed to the worst motives, and de- | nounced in the worst language, becausé their de- | feat was hostile to the establishment of the wildest theories sanctioned under the general name of so- cialism. Such persons cannot be entrusted with the management of any practical matter, either in government or in any thing else. They are entire- ly unfitted for so doing, because they are par- tially allied to madness and insanity. We will venture to say, that in the foreign cor- | respondence of the Herald, there is more good sense, and more sober and correct views of the march of affairs in France and throughout Eu- rope, than in any of those to which we have allu- ded. Our correspondents are practical men, who see things from an American and practical point of view. They describe events, without anticipa- ting too much, or doubting their consequences or tendencies. We find that a sensible and practical view also pervades the foreign correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. We give to-day a whole batch of our correspondence; and as soon as possible, we shall endeavor to satisfy the public, by extracts from the foreign correspondence of our cotemporaries, of the correctness of the views we have put forth, in regard to the character of all the foreign correspondence that we have alluded to. GerneraL Scorr’s Movements.—a great deal of interest is beginning to be manifested in the move- ments of General Scott in this city. He has ac- cepted the invitation of the Corporation, and will make his grand entrance here to-morrow, at Cas- tle Garden, at two o’clock. We have no doubt that he will be received by the whole population of New York, provided it be a fine day. It is true that the sun of the White House does not shine on the General. The President of the United States is rather displeased with some of his correspon- dence, and particularly with the length of his let- ters. General Scott has been rather touchy and hasty, as he always has been; but we do not be- heve that the displeasure of the President will cast him down much, or prevent the people of New York from giving a hearty welcome to the distin- guished military commander who has evinced a capacity for his position equal to that of any mili- tary man in the old world or the new. We do not belong to the catagory of the gene- ral’s flatterers, nor shall we ever rank ourselves in the list of his rivals. General Scott has great and manifold merits, that almost overlook, outnumber, and outweigh his imbecilities of temper and mind, a part of which belong to human nature, and con- stitute the birth-right of every human being. His old political friends in this city, and in this region of country, are now determined to rally under his name, and tomake alast effort to procure for him a nomination by the whig convention of Philadel- phia. The menin Wall street, who have been making such prodigious efforts for the last six months in favor of General Taylor, having now warmed the place and taken their hasty plate of soup, will be ready to adopt their original candi- date, General Scott—with what success we shall soon Bee. Cave Jounson’s Mam, ARRAN GEMENTS.—Cave Johnson’s term of office must be drawing to a close, if we are to judge from the increase of the derangements of the mails, and the multitude of failures of all kinds, with which the country is af- flicted. Scarcely a day passes that we do not re- ceive letters complaining of failures or irregulan- ties of some kind, and there is scarcely one of those occasions on which we have not put the papers into the post office of New York, and trans- mitted them through the mails with perfect accu- racy. We have to complain of derangements, and stoppages, and irregularities, in the transmission of our journal in the mails towards the east, the north, the west, and the south. The following is a sam- ple:— Usirep States Navat Station, ? i Pensacota, May 11, 1848, |§ 1m | beg leave to inform you that I so seldom receive your valuable paper, (to which | am. daily sub-criber.) that my subscription is utterly useless to we, As theso irregularities oceur so much more frequently in the case of the Herald than any other Northern paper, | cxanot resist the conviction that it must be in some degree attributable to the negligence of your employé-x At any rate, it is entirely disgusting not to reesive a | single copy per week of a daily paper, e-proially during these very stirring times. while other papers are coming to their subscribers with «uch comparative regularity. ‘The Baltimore Sun, for instance. bas come to this office every day for the last week. during which I have not received « single number of the Herald. Respectfully, your ob't serv’t. James Gorvon Bexnerr. Ex Editor and Proprietor New York Herald. After a full and correct examination of this par- ticular case, there is no doubt that the paper ad- dressed to our subscriber at Pensacola, has been | regularly deposited in the post office of this city, | and regularly transmitted on its journey to the | | South. This we have ascertained in a variety of instances. The arrangements in the post office of this city, are made with such discrimination and exactitude that no mistake can be perpetrated. We will bear witness to their integrity, their promptness, and their regularity. How comes it, then, that our subscribers at a distance do not re- ceive theirepaper regularly 2. We very much fear that some of Cave Johnson’s postmasters in dis- tant parts of the country, when the Herald passes through their offices, detain it for the purpose of reading its news, studying its philosophy, and laughing over its sarcasm, in the present stirring times. In fact, tHere are too many of Cave Johnson's | employées utterly unfit, either in intelligenee, rec- titude or honesty, to occupy the places which they fill. We have no hope of a remedy until a new Postmaster General and a new regime come into power. The post office department was never so completely sunk as it has been during the last few years. Berrixe.—Since the accounts received from Baltimore, in relation to the proceedings of the democratic convention, the sanguine friends of General Cass appear to be a good deal down in the mouth, and the oyster-suppers and hats that have been wagered on the great western statesman, a)- pear to be in jeopardy. A presidential election is a good affair always for the hatters, and we should not wonder, in the heat of party polities, as they now run and ferment, to see the locofoco shape | put forward on the on side, and the whig shape on the other, by some of our well skilled hatters. ‘This would be properly carrying out the game of | betting hats, in our good city of Gotham, and en- able the politicians to distinguish their adherents, during the hard work that is before them, until November next. We have no doubt that some of our hatters willtake the hint, and thus try the strength of their friends and party. This will en- able us, if adopted, the more easily to “count heads.” Oxe Day Later rrom THe Sourn.—The South- erner, true to her character for punctuality and speed, came in yesterday morniug early, from | Charleston, with papers from that city, and through | to New Orleans, one day in advanee of Cave John- son’s mail.

Bautiatoxr, Sunpay Nic, 12 o'clock, May 21, 1848. The democratic wisdom of the nation is concentrated at tho Monumental City, Baltimore is, just at this time, the most important locality inthe republic. The hotels have been swarming, since last evening, like bee- hives, and still at each the swarm increases. Bar- num’s and the Exchange are the great points of fu- sion, Between them a constant stream of intercom- munication has been going on all day. At the Ex- change, under ity skilfal administration, a thousand people took dinner to-day; and at Barnum’s there ‘tionat jount of business transacted, in Aydrostatics, and segars. All the other hotels in the central purt of the city are filled to th brim, and many private houses have become ex: ingly aequiows on the heels of this great locofoco monstration. It is a great demonstration—grei numbers, ges in talent, great in experience. g) politios—the greatest, in every particular, in the of these preliminary confederated unterrified and indomitable democracy. The agony is great—the enthusiasiasm is great—the spirit of the whole mass is exuberant of hope and hopeful anticipations. The two-third rule has been discussed among the thousands here assembled, with- out abatement, for the last two days, and Cambreling, John Van Buren, andthe barnburners—the very be- ginning of the sport to-morrow—have been most amply considered, without any definite conclusion. Some propose to send Dr. Brandreth and the hunkers, and Churchill C. C. and the barnbur: all home, to make up. or fight it out among themselves. The bari burners deny the right of Dr. Brandreth to administer his pills to them without their consent—and the doc- tor persists in his determination to purge the conven- tion of all the bile and phiegmatic materials of “the white man’s resolution.”” Others propose to take the hunkers and the stable-consumers all in, provided they assent to the nominations, the address.and the resolu- tions that may be adopted. Others propose that they all decide by lot which ofthe two factions shall be mitted, each to agree, as a preliminary condition, to abide by the results of the convention. The barn- burners aro at Barnum's, the hunkers at the Exchange, and a most potent anxiety and con- dolence is felt by the rest of the delegations, for these contending branches of the family from the Empire State. Most of the State delegations have conferred upon their course respectively, in regard of the Prince John deputation. and the detachment of Dr. Brandreth. Gen the pills have operated handsomely; but in some cases they have beeu incompetent to budge the proviso, There are delegates even from the southern States, who are costive in favor of the Prince—not be- cause of the proviso, but in spite of it, They think his case is entitled to a consultation, and a fair judgment of all the doctors, before they undertake to administer the pills. Heisina high fever; his stomach is out of tone; his pulse is wiry, quick and irregular; his skin ix dry and harsh; his feet are cold; his tongue is rough and coated witha peculiar mucus. indicative of the black vomit; his eyes are full, heavy, and distended; and it isheld by many to be extremely doubtful wh ther the pills are sufficient for the symptoms. Dr. Brandreth thinks they are—that John requires a dras- tic eathartic,and nothing else—and the keuker pills, administered in the convention to the recusants of the proviso, will eradicate their alarming intestinal extra- vasation, and restore a diaphragmatic and orthodox eonvalescence. Who shall decide wnen doctors disa- gree, or who shall gainsay ¢he conservative properties of these pills? We leave this matter, therefore, in doubt. We have been consulted, but confess our inability to prescribe igre competent for the decided secondary phas! of the case, We havea whole phalanx of the leaders from all parts—from the Arostook to the Brasos ; from Little Egg Harbor to Des Moin from Big Sodus to the Tombighbee ; from the St. down East, tothe San Juan of the evorgiades ; from the ice venders of Boston to the rice tenders of Carolina ; from the maple sugar regions of Mount gs tage to the cane planters of the Plaquemines ; from the clam-catchers of Cape Cod to the Buffalo hunters of Texas—ample delegations from every State of this federal and resplendent republican constellation.

It is said the barnburners are in correspondence with Hon. Simon Cameron, of Pa , who is here. and that it is their object to get up a separate nomination of Go- vernor Shunk a+ an exclusive Northern candidate. But this seoms too preposterous for belief.

The Universalist Church, in Calvert street, waa pro- bably selected, owing to its boing the largest in the city capable of seating about two thousand porsons. ‘The several delegations were assigned particular pows,where | each conld consult without fear of being overhoard by | thetr neighbors, Notices were posted on the outer door frames, stating that citizens and st™ngers must occupy the galleries ; and only such as had previously procured tickets were admitted. A platform was erect- | ed over the pulpit, and on it were placed sents for the officers and distinguished visiters, as well as for the re- porters of the press, The table and chair of the presi- ding officer were covered with the star spangled banner, At aquarter of eleven o'clock, the delegates began todrop in, and were directed to the pews assigned to them. Something like the following took place: — “Alabama, take the right side; “ Pennsylvania, mid die aisle, right hand side;" “ Vermont, left aisle. ut the | end;” * Massachusetts. middle aisle," * Ohio, right up, | on left hand sid ;" and all this was sang out in very loud tone. At a quarter to twelve, there was « thun- dering tramping of feet.

In temporarily eet the duties assigned to me,! shall endeavor to full them as promptly as I can—if not efficiently, to you satisfactorily. “Order is Heaven's first law.” (Ap- plause.) Mr. Samurt Sweet, of Missouri, was selected as se- cretary pro tempore. A member of the Ohio delegation suggested that the seat of the chairman be placed in front of the platform, so that they and others may have a better view of the presiding officer. A BLESSING INVOKED, The Cuainman—t! would suggest to the assembled de- mocracy, that on such an occasion as this, it is usual to enter upon our deliberations af er invoking the blessings of Almighty God for ourselves and our core- mon country.

Amen VALIDITY OF OREDENTIALS—THE NEW YORK DIFFICULTY. Mr. Wuescer, of North Carolina, offered for the ee ‘ion of the convention the following resolu- jon, Resolved, That a committee of one from each State be appointed by the di each State, to re- pect’ te wamben of delegates in attendance, and to examine the validity of credenti Mr. Cone, of Georgia, said that he desired to offer a substitute, such a one #8 was passed in the convention of 1844, and with a view to provide for circumstances with which all were familiar. It was read, as follow: Resolved, That a committee be appointed to examine dential nd to report to this body the number of its to which each State is entitled, andthe names of the delegates. And resolved further, That said committee be ap- pointed from each State, except New York; the dele- gates from each State to appoint one member, and each of the two sets of delegates from New York to appoint one. Resolved, That the States be now called, for the pur- pose of making selections and appointments. Mr. Cone—It is @ fact, of which all are apprized, that there are two sets of delogates from New York— (-louder”)—both of whom claim to be the delegates of the democracy of New York. I have therefore drawn. the resolutions with reference to that difficulty. Before any deliberative body can act, the first thing is to as- certain who are entitled to seats, and who can par- ticipate in the proceedings. Something must always be taken for granted, and I have therefore framed a resolution according to that of 1844. The reason, I repeat, why [ have drawn up the resolution, is owing to the diffculty in New York. It seemed to me, there being two sets of delegates, that cach of them should have a member on the committee, in order to explain the ground on which they take their seats in this con- vention, and that we may act advisedly in the whole matter. The Cuarnmax—The question is on the adoption of the substitute. Senator Haxxroan, of Indiana—I ask again for the reading of the-resolution. The resolution of Mr, Wheeler having been read, Mr. Haxweoan remarked—‘ No objection to that.” A delegate inquired whether it was proposed that the Committee to be appointed shall pass on the rival claims? Mr. Coxe—They can report that one or the other. or both, or none. are entitled to seats. They-will have all the evidence before them. Mr. R. P. THomrson—May not this prevent organi- zution for some days to come? (“We can’t hear ;” “louder.") We might organise now, and send the case of the contestants from New York to # Com- mittee, Mr. Camansiix (on the part of the barnburnors) proposed a modidication of the resolutions; but there was too much confusion on his side of the church to hear what it was. Mr. Cong. however, said that he had no objection to it. It ey ay that the report must be received and acted on before the convention can adopt rules for its overnment. It was within the recollection of all that in the convention of 1844 one important question was that of the two-thirds rule; and it certainly will be pro- er for New York to vote on it again, if It comes up. ut the question before the convention is, who are ¢ titled tothe seats? [* That's it.”’] Senator Dicxixsox (old hunker.) arose, and com- monced speaking. [A voice, “ Speak loud get my voice up in a moment. [Ha! ha!) that the resolution of the gentleman from Georgia will answer the purpose of all interested parties ganization of the convention need not be delayed. If the committee find that the subject cannot be imme- diately disposed of, they can report in part, as is allowed in legislative bodies. and then we will be as well off in that committee as — the subject were confined to aselect committee. The less machinery the better. ‘The resolut‘on of the gentleman from Georgia raises n0 invidious distinction. It treats both sides with the liberality they deserve, and bestows upon each conflict- ing interest equal consideration.

Mr, Tovcey, of Counecticut, said it was very obvi ous that there was no diversity of opinion in the co! yention ontwo propositions which had been submit- tu The gentteman from Ohio, arose and proposed an amendment to the chair, and without having an opportunity to put it to vote, the question was taken on the resolution, It is proper, Far sng to movea reconsideration. and he hoped it would be done with- out any question. A Meramaer—A number of gentlemen did not under- stand the state of the case when the question was put, else they might have defeated the vote. Mr. Yancry declared himself opposed to the resolu- tion of the gentleman from Georgia, (Mr. Cone) be- cause by ithe recognized two conflicting delega' who have now seats in this body, and select thelr members to be put upon the commit makes thom judges in their own case. Mr. Yance: eived that the proper course to be taken was Let the delegates, whose seats undisputed, organ- ize,and the delegates, whose seats are disputed, come forward and presont their claims, To let them both go upon the committee, would be the right of both sets.— One must be right, and the other wrong. Mr. Hannecan said that he was authorized, by both delegations, to say that neither wished nor would they consent toserve on the committee. The Utica convention delegates desired to be heard atthe bar after the organization. The vote by which Mr. Cone's resolution was adopt- ed, was reconsidered. Mr. Cow remarked that he drew up his resolution in a way which he thought would best facilitate business. If there was any disposition on the he of the conven- tion to have it modified, he was willing to adopt the 8 ion of Mr. Yancey. @ amendments and rosolutions got mixed up among points of order, which were briefly discussed. Mr. ‘Tiupex, (Barnburner,) arose and commenced speaking. The Ciarnman reminded the gentleman that he was not speaking to the question. Mr. Titpen—We desire to have the substitute so far modified as to confine the committve to an investiga- tion of the facts. As to thejudgment to be presented in this case, it is of deep interest not only to New York, but to the democracy in all parts of the Union. We desire the judgment of assembly, not to be confined—— (* Question,” “question.”) I have the floor, (To a member.) if the Secretary will have the goodness to read the substitute again, I be- lieve I can make an amendment which will answer the purpose. I believe that all the delegates from New York will assentto it. Ikmow no reasonto the contrary. Mr. Cone’s substitute was again read. Mr. Titpex—I wish to amend it, (“ Hear him,”) s0 that the facts may be ascertained by the committee, but without the committee expressing any determi- nation on the facts. ‘A delegate here arose and asked a question. “ How (Ha ! ‘ha! con- long will it take to make a President ?”” Mr. Ticpxn resumed his remar! (A voice from the left: “ We can’t hear you over there, come into the middle of the houre.”) Mr. Cone, (whose position was nearto the scaffold- ing.) Yos, the speaking does us on this side no good.

(No, “no.”") Senator Dickixsox, (Old Hunker)—We would ha’ no objection to be he at the bar, in case we are re- jected by the committee. 1 would suggest the gentle- man to alter the form of his amendment, so that we can get somebody else to speak. ha i Mr. Cone—The gentleman seems to think that they are not to be heard atthe bar. The committee may report what States are entitled to vote. Mr. Parston Kino was understood to say that his delegation would not serve upon the committee. Mr. Cone accepted the m jeation of Mr. Toucey, as he had no disposition to rly. Mr. Kinc.—We are unw: “‘ Come to jew York, to do ro.

Believing that the resolution of the gen- tleman from Georgia covers all the ground, I move to lay the gentleman's (Mr. Tilden’s) amendment on the table,and call for the previous question. [“Agreed, agreed.""] My object in making the motion is to see the body organized. Mr. Parstox Kino took the floor, or rather the seat (for he got upon it). Mr nt called him to order. The Caiman decided that he was out of order. Mr. Kixo.—QOn what point. The Cnarnmax.—The previous question has beon moved, and it is not debateable. Mr. Kixa.—But I had the floor before the gentle- man from Indiana made his motion. Mr. Briaut.—My object was to get organized; but as the gentleman is sensitive, I will withdraw the mo- tion. y taking up the Mr. Kivo—I believe that, to arrive at the facts, will | not occupy one hour.

I will not however, make such imputations until I have reason to doso. (“Order,” “order.") We claim to be the right- ful delegates from New York.

(Laughter.) There- fore, we will not arrogate the right to repre- rent tho democracy. Let the committee de- cide this. (Applause) That is proper. If we are admitted to seats in this convention, we will render you our beat services. If not, we will give ou what is extremely desirable—a little more room.— Applause.] Let ushave the report in the usual man- ner. Let the committee report according to its own discretion, and that report can be discussed here. I trust our friends will be required to give a pledge to support the convention. In order to make headway against infidelity, thoy will insist on applying tho test. [Apptause.] Its not improper, too, in the offvet, that bh delegations can appear before the sub-committee, ‘as shall seem best. and although the committee will be seoret. the room will be open’ to all interested partios. We hope to be heard at the bar. Let us first have or- ganization. Mr. Bricut—As both sections have been heard through their leading organs, 1 move the previous question. This was seconded, and under its operation, the substitute of Mr. Cone, as amended, was passed—pro- ing that cach delegation select one member.exelud- ing New York, to compose a committeo, to inquire into and report the facts in relation to the New York Hun- ker and Barnburner diMeulties, &c, DELEGATES FROM THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The chairman laid before the convention a commu- nication from the District of Columbia, Mr, Bayuy asked lonve for tho Virginia delegation to retire to seloct their committee-men. [“Honr the com- munieation first.’"] The communication was road, stating that, at n meeting of the Jackson Association on Friday even- ing, Amos Kendall, J. C. Rives, D. Rateliffe. J. G. Dow, and H. 8. Davis, werd appainted delegates to the con- vention ‘A motion was mado to lay the communication on the table. (Question, question.”) Mr. Camenon, of Ponnrylvania, said that the object was not to give votes, but to take seats in the convon- tion, Mr, Dicxinson expressed his dosire that the commu- nication would Iie on the table. and that the gentle- me named would be considered as honorary mem- Tho communication wns referred to the Committee on Credentials. Mr. Barty again asked permission for the delegates from Virginia to retire for the purpose of consultation. Permission was given, and about sixty gentlemen retired accordingly. Tho call of the Committeo on Credentials was then commenced by States, some one rising as his State was called, and designating the choice of his delegation, The election of the committee proceeded by States, as follows ;— Maine~ Charles Andrews, Ma N.

It may be of mo mat- ter of consequence. We may have no objection. I ask it—that’s all. He may answer me or not, as he pleases. (Order, order’?.) A Detraatr—The committee on credentials desire to know what room has been assigned them. The President, on being informed, stated that it was the basement room of this building. Mr. Moses asked to withdraw from the committee; but by a vote of the convention, his request was re- ‘used. ‘At8 o'clock, the Senate took a recess 6. AFTERNOON Session, Mr. Rzeprr, of Virginia, moved that a committee of one from each State be appointed to report the perma- nent organisation of the convention, and after some conversation the convention proceeded to elect bi States, a committee for the reguar organization, whio! is as follows : Maine—Charles Holden.

Mr. Yancey spoke handsome- ly of Wisconsin, as having just come ‘blushingly into the Union with the dust of a recent democratic victory upon her laurels. He spoke of the peculiar majesty of this Convention, collected from the whole Union—with virtue and moderation in its councils, it would go forth again to victory. The democracy were like the Ame- rican armies in Mexico; they could not be defeated. Shields, according to all the rules laid down by loctors, ought to have been killed over and over again; and we cannot tell why the Mexicans failed to kill him, unless it is that he Is an American democrat. ‘True, we were defeated in 1840. and in the election of the present House of Representatives. But it does us good at times to bite the dust. We bless our mothep earth, and she, God bless her, blesses us. Mr. Yanoey coneluded with a humorous anecdote of Pat editing saw logs on the side of ahill. They kept rolltng to tho bottom. Finally he tied one fast to his leg, to hold it, but when it was sawed off, it rowled down, carrying Pat with it, over and over to the bottom of the hill; and yet when it stopped, Pat was again uppermost, with hix teeth fixed in the bark. (Laughter and applause.) Gen. Sam Hovsron was next called out by the peoplo in the galleries, and when he mounted the rostenes they gave him three hearty cheers. Gon. Houston spoke of the importance of this convention in its de- Lberations. because the democracy would have to fight upon new ins Old party lines were ngarly oblitera- ted, the opposition having one by one abandoned them, ‘The great issue now was the jxstice or injustice of this war. He believed the war just, (cheers,) and that the Almighty had prospered our arms, for never before had such victories been achieved. He was in favor of the extension of the arva of freedom, and did not dread even the annexation of Mexico, though he had not a proved it. He expatiated upon the advantages of C fornia to the poor but enterprising men of the East, and was in favor of “indemnity for the past and security tor the future.”* Judge Bryce, President pro tem., was next called out, and was enlarging in a most elcquent stra.n upon tho glorious attributes of democracy, when the Committee on Credentials came in, and he immediately gave way. Gen. Howann, of Maryland, reported that the com- mittee hadin part accomplished the duties assigned them, They had decided upon the credentials of the delegates of all the States except those of New Yorks and with regard to them, the committeo asked leave to sit during the sittings of the convention. Mr. Mrapr, said the Committee on Organization dig not feel themselves at liberty to report the nece: rules. Upon this point, they desired instructions. Some conversation followed upon a point of ander, when the list of approved delogates was read over from All the States, excepting New York. "(They have ie tofore been publinied I the Heratd Soa Rardndg Mr. Eaenron, of io, asked that the crod the delegates from South Carolina be read. gunasted The Cua decided the question out of order. Mr. Ecerron then made a statement, that althou, the delogate from South Carolina claimed to pean the whole State, he was clected as the delegate of ono istrlet, and would, therefore, be entitled to but one vote. This led to some discussion, and soveral motions to lay on the table, when i rae Gen. Howanv said the committee had had two things first, to ascertain how many votes cach Stato had, and, secondly, what number of dolegates were en. titled to seats on this floor They found that Soutl Carolina had nine votes, and found that Gen.
