Tae rejected members of the Exst will doubtiesa fall back upon Seward) et yeegue, and go to wark for a general sectional aati- slavery ticket. We may thus expect in '66 to have three broadly defined parties ia the fiotd, to wit :— 1, The new Nations! Americam par 2. The Democratic psrty. 8, The general Northsen Anti clavery Coalition Tocome to particulars: Among the New York mia, Barker and Ultman are rivals for the office of Grand Pre sident of this projected nations! organization, Barker will probably ve re-elected, ani Ullman will have to wait the chances of ancther nom natioa for Governor, or something else. Among the celegates im favor of expoll- jag Wilson and ali tast st, there are a oumber, par- ticularly from the South, in favor of Fillmore for their Presidential candidate; but I think that there is a larger pumber in favor of George Law. This Connsil, however, ‘will not decide upon the Presidential candidate, but upon the platform for ’56, There wil be time enough for the candidate a year. hence. Kenneth Raynor. of North Carolia, is vary busy and very ambitious. He aspires to tue White House nomi- nation; but he will be doing exceediog!y well if he can get the romination for Vice President, The delegates from the Northwestern States— Indiana, Tlinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, especially—sey that as one half the voters there are naturalized citizens, there must be some prapmg of our existing Know Nothing impediments against that class, in order to make spy headway in that quarter. Thoy way, too, that the vote of the great West is too important to be neglected. So it is. Judicious men, therefore, think that there is a chance that the national Know Nothing platform may be liberalized to something like the principles laid down ia Live Oax George’s cele- brated and segacious letter to the Pennsylvania Legisls- tare, Nous Verrons. At all events, the business before this Convention, and the issues and organization depending before it, are of the highest moment, and outof it you may look for the classification and arrangement cf this and all other parties for the grand campsiga for the next Presidency.

But one sentiment seems to pervade the minds of the members generally, aed that is, that the great American party cannot be otherwise than a pational perty, and that the period hae arrived for the full, open and exp!icit declaration of the principles by which it is guided and governed. This de- claration, rely upon it, will assuredly be made during the sesrion. The Convention bas some exciting questions to adju- dicate—not the least of which will be the action meces- sary to be taken with the “higher law’? and other ex- tremiais who may present themselves for membership; but as to the issue, no reasonab'e doubt can exist. From the general tone and temper exhibited to-day, factionists and disunionista of all grades will be made to walk the plank in short order, and the assemblage made wholly ond entirely national and conservative. The attendance, as I said before, was full and impos- ing, preeenting the general tout ensemble of a most re- spectable, dignified and intellectual body, As its pro- ceedings are strictly secret, it is quite » difficult mat- ter to get access to such details as will interest the public mind, or give a clue to the proposed action of the body in reference to the vexed sectional issues of the Gay. Ns ‘It seems to be conceded, however, that the salvation of the cause depends wholly upon the body taking the ‘most decided national ground, and in such a shape as to preclude the possibility, even, of any meun‘erstanding ‘This appears to be the fixed purpose of the large majori- ty; and I. epprehend no special pleadings—no matter how plausible soever—will divert it from this paramount ob- ject and duty, The decree has gone forth, and the work is already more than half accomplished.

In reference to the action of the Council this morning, the whole session, it is understood, was occupied in the Giseussion of the mode preper to be pursued in the per- manent organization of the House—in other words, whe- ther the House or the Chair should appoint the com mittee on credentials: the Chair having referred the question directly to the body for adjudication.

M. Since writing the above I have met one of the atiachés to the Hxmatp, whose mission, I opine, is founded under the misapprehension that the Council, after its organi_ zation, is to sit with open doors. Such an ides, { ven- tore the opinion, has not » single apologiat in the body. The veil of secresy, in so far at least aa its legislation is concerned, has not and will not bs removed. Why, ’tis rumored,and upon good authority, too, at that, that a re- solution was passed to-day interdicting even the commu- nication of its acteand doings with the members outside 0? the general assemblage. If this be the fact, and of it there seems to be no question, mere reporters, as such, of course, could mot have admission, Itwasnever the design, nor has such » proposition ever had » sup. porterin the order that I ever heard of, to throw open the door of its modus operandi to the public. The pur- pore Mmply is to make known the political principles of the party, and nothing more, I will remark, en passant, that the Americans of this elty, headed by Mayor Conrad, propose to give, on Thurs- day evening, s grand banquet to the Grand Counsil. In addition to the many good things which 8 most bounti- fal market supplies, the progrurme proposes to have additionally any quantity of good speaking. Four gene- ral topics to be elaborated by the prominent selected for the occasion have been designated, arranged, it is raid, as follows:— 1. Tax Unioy.—On this theme the Hon. Kenneth Ray- nor, of Nerth Carolina, ® man of very decided abilities end o fine orator, is to harangue. 2, Navionauity —Albert Pike, of Arkansas, a mighty man in the Eouth—a poet, a scholar, a philosopher, s leater of Southern commercial conveations—~is to figure op this theme, and he will do {t well. 2, Tax Pama.—Morton McMichael, of this city, is the chesen advocate. Of bim I cannot speak of any persons knowledge, but he is said to be a man of mark as well as of ink. 4, Reziciovs Lipsrty.--This prolifie theme is to be handled by Andrews, of New York, « chaste, logical and beautiful speaker. Besides these leacers, a sentiment in honor of each State will be proposed and responded to appropriately by the prominent members of the Council, each speaker to bail from the State proposed, SECOND DAY. ParapetPata, June 6, 1855. The Convention assembled at 10 this morning, The Credential Committee made a partial report, which, being received, the case of Ohio, which had not recogaized or acted upon the “Union,’’ or “third degree,” came up for sdjudication. Upon the delegation proffering to take the degree; (which was administered,) and giving satisfactory pledges to the Convention, they were ad- mitted and qualified. The State of Mississippi was next considered, It ap- pears that the regular Order had no legal existence in that State; but that, under the name of ‘The Stars and Stripes,’ some thirty thousand natives had enrolled themselves and appointed a delegation to this body. Being discovered to be of the right stripe, the whole Or- der was recognized and the delegation admitted, but not, however, without a severe contest—the anti- slavery interests opposing, and the nationals advo- cating their admission. The vote was a decisive one, more than three to one voting in the affirmative. Stick a pin there. Among the nationals, I learn that Lyon of your State, aman of fine promise, and one destined to fills higher porition im public life, distinguished himself by his able advocacy of national sentiments and opinions. The de- bate generally, it is stated, was characterized by much mind and earnestness. ‘The State of Louisiana was then brought before the Council. It is affirmed that two sets of delegates are in attendance, one representing a mixed constituency of Catholics and Protestants, the delegation bever owes emer ia part of Catholics ; the other, a ‘ pure’ tant atituenc: sented by anti-Catholics. The dis sit i ‘Stato will probably occupy the remainter sition of this of the day’s seesion. It is thought that a day or two will necessarily elapse before the proper ization of the body is completed, as California is also with a double set of delegates. Cee Se WSR PTE probably in the same predi- coment, Mr. Barker’s health is entirely restored. ‘The sentiment of nationality is eee eroretens, wenti- ment, and notwithstanding the in' of the slave question, the Union sentiment will be nobly vindicated. PROGRESS OF THE CONVENTION. PHapsrnta, June 6, 1855. The Know Nothing Convention had not organized up to the adjournment this afternoon. The sessions thus fer have been merely preliminary. The report that Barker was to be slaughtered of Gov- ernor Gardner bas no foundation, The substitution of the latter for the former has not been thought of. The convention will probably organize to-morrow, if it does not succeed im doing 20 at the session this eve- ning. ‘Tar Supmanme Exxormio Taurcrara.—In our article yesterday on the great submarine electric telegraph, by *ip, was remarkable, The front was covered with huge THE BARNUM BABY SHOW.

Barnum bas, however, worked on the same general pricciple, and has got up a baby show—the second ever held in the world, and the first within seven hundred milea of New York—and the novelty of the affair has Crawn a good deal of attention, Tho following is a list of the ‘“ motives’? which have induced the ‘“ mothers” to expose their children on view:— THE PRIZES. ‘The finest baby under five years of age The fineet baby uoder one year. 50 Second fiment under one year 16 Third finest under one year... 10 ‘The finest baby, of from one to three year! 5 fecond finest baby, of from one to three yo: 16 ‘Third finest baby, of from one to three years 10 The Onest baby, of trom three to five years 50 Seocnd finest baby, of from threo to five ye 15 Third finest baby, of from three to five years 10 ‘Loe finest twins, of any age under five 50 Secono finest twins, of any age under five. ib ‘Third finest twice, of any age under five .. 10 ‘The finest triplet.

To look at the crowd in front of the Museum, in Broadway, and even close up to the doors of St. Paul’s church, one would think that the contents of half a dozen country towns had suddenly been showered down upon that spot. Thore were fathers of families ceparated from their broods, calling wildly for William Francis Augustus or Hevry Clay Jones, youths who were franti- cally clutching the legs of bachelors, or wiping their digits, covered with the debris of saccharine com. pounds, upon the light apring silks of city belles— wothers torn by ruthless omnibuse: stupid police- men from the arms of their devoted offspring~young ladies with their bonrets smashed and their genera’ arrangements very much discomposed—strong-minded spinsters, who punched people with their fans and repped naughty boys with their parasols—pictpoctets who could not operate (the people in the rural districts read the Hrratp now)—verdaat youths from the coun- try—blazé boys from the Broadway clubs—delegates from the beauty and fashion of Leonard and Mercer streeta—two or three officers of the blockading squad- Tom in the East river, ashore on leave, with orders to keep a sharp eye oa the filibus. ters at the Astor House—Aldermen, Councilmen, seve- ral of the O'Keefe family—one or two ladies that Mat. sell used to flirt with, and varlous other distinguished persons—all making up @ most turbulent, detsrmined and impolite crowd, At twelve o’clock the rush was so great that a new exit fo the street was opened, and there was an imm: diate disposition on the part of the public to make it an entrance. To prevent this, a stubby looking policeman was here stationed, and, as usual, was rather more in the way than anything else. He paternally advised us not to go to the show—‘it warn’t,”’ in his opinion, ‘no kind of use;”’ and he kept up a running fire of remarks of the same character for the benefit of the young ‘women who were struggling for a chance to see Bar- num’s babies. Here we step aside for amoment to pay a deserved compliment to Du Solle, who had the gate “opposite to Saint Peter,” and handed the ladies out.
