THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 7121. THE PRESIDENCY. THE AMERICAN CONVENTION AT PHILADELPHIA, Clouing up the Record. Analysis and Full Statement of the Vete. ; ‘The Test Votes on Adjournment and the Kansas Question, Keo The whole number of delegates elected to the Iste Know Nothing National Convention at Philadelphis was two hundred and ninety-six, being one from each Congres- sional district, and two Senatorial delegates, or delegates at large, as they ars termed, from each State, viz :— Ker ke. of the States were not represented. viously known tha‘ such would be the case, as the State Conventicns of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and some others instructed their delegates not to go to the Conven- tion, they being in favor of a postponement of tho In fact it was pre- nomination for President. Alabama was, however re- presented. The number of delegates, therefore, pre- sent at the organization was only two hundred and nine, After the resolution stating that no person should be nominated who was not in favor of the prohibition of stavery North of 36 30, was lafd upon the table, and auo- ther resolution to proceed to the nomination of candi, dates, was adopted, a number of the Northern nigger worshipping Seward celegstes withdrew in a body, which reduced the number to one hundred and seventy-two. The Convention then went into an informal ballot for President, which resulted as follows: — 5 1 - 6 2 al a 70 1 Fillmore’s mojority........... f It was then decided that a regular ballot fora candidate for President should be had, and that the whole two hundred and ninety-six votes should be cast. They failed, however, in securing the wholo number, no:with«tanding they gave the privilege to outsiders who bad not beea elected delegates, as in the case of Waiker, of Alabama, to cast the entire vote of a State. first regular ballot was as follows :— Fillmore, eereeell6 Houston, 40 Raynor.. 22 Stocston,.. 16 The result on the se eeeeeseccerccsscees woee Re ‘The above vote was cast by the following States :— Mossachusetts—John McLean, 5 votes; Garrett Davis, 5 ‘votes; Robert F.

After the vote had been taken by States, and it was ascertained that Filmore had received a mvjority of the ‘votes cast, and would therefore be the nominee of the Convention, a number of the delegations changed their ‘votes, and swelled the whole number for Fillmore to one hundred and seventy-nine.

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR—OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND— PROBABLE DIPLOMATIC RUPTURE— CKA4MPTON ABOUT TO BE DISMISSED—MEEFrING FO THE CABINET—TEXAS CLAIMS—THE FILLMORE NOMINATION, ETC., ETC. Wasuinaton, Fed. 26, 1856. The enlistment correspondence was not finished ia time for the Senate to-day. This {a regretted, as the govera- ment was anxious it should go out ta the European tteamer to-morrow. ‘The message of the President, recommending an appro. Priation of three millions to brighton up our armor, is regarced here as emphatically @ war messege, wheo taken in coprection witn Mr. Mailory’s official proporition to construct ten additional war steamers, It is clear that the government is preparing for sometbiog extraordinary. Mr. Mershell moved to refer the message to the Commit- mittee of the Whole, and bave {t discussed at once. He wished to know if we were to bave peace or war. Two- thirds of our people, including the Great West, are always benefitted hy war, and Congress will cast a cor. responding vote. Thecheracter of the foreign despatches may be judged of by the President's message to-day. The Cabinet hed quite » protracted session yesterday. ‘The subject before them was, { understand, our relations with Eogiand. Itis understood this evening that Crampton will be dismisced. In that case intercourse between Engisnd and the United States will be suspended, as England will, as acon as she learns that her Minister has been dismissed, siso retuse to reccive our Minister. Thus there will be no diplowatic intercourse, for some tame at least, between the countries, uutil there is an aticanie settlement of our difficulties, Jucging from the debate in the Senate yesterday on the resolution of Mr. Mason, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, calling for the correspondence in refer- ence to the enlistment dificulty, which was participated in Fy @ large number of Senators, there are serious ap- prehensions entertained of a rupture between the two governments. General Casa spoke with great feeling and earnestness and cec'ared emphatically that Crampton should have been dismisied menths ago. ‘The correspondence called for by Senator Mason will net be sent in to the Senate before Thursday. It is very voluminous, Marcy’s letters cover one hundred pages foolseap. Senator Jones’ speech in reply to Mr. Wilson was very dilter, and cccupied about three hours in its delivery. The Senate ther went inte executive session and dis- posed of a large batch of appointments. ‘The Seoretary of the Treasury bas, I understand, de- ciéed to pay seven millions five hundred thousand dol- iars Texas claims, notwithstanding the proviso attached to the bill when it passed the Texas Legislature. Mr. Inge, of Californis, has been appointed Consul at Havara. The announcement that Fi!lmore had been nominated for Pre:ident by the Philadelphia American Convention, created the most intense exci‘ement. The democrats are Gelighted, as all the States carried by Fillmore, if any, will be Northern ones, thus reducing the nigger wor- shippers’ strength. BE MR. BUCHANAN’S LAST DESPATOHES—THE OFFICIAL PAPERS ON THE ENLISTMENT QUESTION—LORD CLAKENDON IN A PIX—OUR POSITION MAINTAINED. Wasuinaton, Feb. 26, 1856. ‘The despatches from Mr. Buchanan by the Atlantic and Asia did not reach Washington until last evening. It is easy to conjecture something of their character. But you can do that about as well in New York as we can here. L have the best reasons for saying that nothing authen- tie on the subject has yet transpired or will transpire to- night. In compliance with the resolution adopted by the Senate yesterdsy, a large quancity ot correspondence on the e:g stment matter will be vent in, probably to-morrow & next day, as soon as it can be prepared. This correspon- dence will produce a sensation here aad in England. It will place Lord Ciarendcn in a position where he will need be'p werse than the British army did recruits, The general confidence already entertained that our government is in the rigat will be fully confirmed by the documents, On the two questions now menacing the friendly un. derstanding between the two countries there {s no per- ceptible difference of opinion here, Ii may be confident- ly asserted that om the eniistment difficulty, as soon as the documen's shall bave been published, we shall also have the preponderance of eulightuned opinion in Great Britain in our favo. I apprehend that preponderance will weigh too heavily for Lord Clarendon to stand up egainst it, Lock out for the documents, It i not true, as was reported in England previous to the departure of the Atlantic and the Asis, that there had been s rupture of friendly relations between Mr. Puchanan and Lord Clarendon, and, of course, no cewa- tion of diplomatic relations had occurred. You will soon have an opportunity to judge whether I was right in stating that the recall of fr. Crampton had been apeciti cally requested in terms by Mr. Marcy, or whether the correspondents cf certain other New York Journala, wh. have recently been contradicting this statement, and who get their information from Kuglish and bigh aboll tion authority, are correct. B. DESPATOHES BY THE ATLANTIC—MR. DALLAS’ DE PARTURE DELAYED—POSITION OF THE CABINET— ACCOUNT OF COMMODORE ABBOT’S DEATH. Wasitiseron, Feb. 26, 1856. Important despatches by the Atlan‘ic were recviv- ed jast evening, and the departure of Mr. Dallas for Eng)and depends on thelr character, It may, porhaps, be acefistitely postponed. Mr. Marcy says, that in spite of the swaggering and biustering ot John Ball, we must remain firm, dignified and positive, ‘The deupatchen will be before the Cabinet in a day or two. The Navy Department is in receipt «f late advices from he East Indies, giving the particulars of the death of Commodore Aobot, commanding on that station, Serator Beil spoke upwards of three hours to-day on ‘he Central American question, It was one of his best efforis. One hundred guns are now being fired in honor of the com cation of Fillmore, by the Souch Amerionas, Groat erohy ‘ato prevails, * b'ng of importance was done in (he House to-day. o. ‘THE ENLISTMENT DIFFIOULTY, BTO-, BTC. Wasuincros, Feb. 26, 1656. This morn'ng’s Union states that Lord Clarendon’s as- sertion in the House of Lords concersing the ea'istment difficulty is substantially incorrect—no apology for the ‘wrong Cone having been wade. ‘The ihtense excitement oceasione by telegraphic des- patches on Sunday last, is allayed by the assurance that there is nothing in the government despatches, since re- ceived, onloulated to diminish the hope that our differ. ences with England may be pacifically srranged, although our relations with that country are not materially changed since the advices by the Canada. Mr. Buchanen probably left Exgland on the 20th for a tour on the Contivent. Mr. Dallas will roon receive bis written instructions, his intercourse with the State Department heretofore being ot a verbal character. The government despatches show that many of the speculations and assertions of the British press and statesmen are untrue, nor is there ground for the ramor of an angry altercation having taken place between Lord Clarendon and Mr. Buchanan, Tumay be as confidently asserted that no formal pro position has been made by Gr+at Britain to arbitrate the pending differevces. Unier present circumstances it is believed our government would not accept that mode of adjustment. ‘The response of the Executive to the senate resolu. tion, calling for the documents re ating to the British en ‘istmente, will probably be sent in morrow, and will show that gross ipaccuractes have been indulged in by the foreign press and pudiic men rejative to the true WHARTY-cOUn «et CONUS, FIRST SESSION.

PROPOSED INCREASE OF THE NAVY, Mr, Matzory, (dem.) of Florida, from the Naval Com- mittee, reporied a bill authorizing the construction of ten sieam sloops of war, and would ask its consideration on Monday. CENTRAL AMERICA AFFAIRS, Mr. BELL, (naional,) of Tenn., said the subject of Cen\xe) American affairs deserves tne serious attention of not only every mewber of the Senaie, but every citiz-n who cesires to Kee the peace of the country mafutained, and, at the same time, the national honor proiecied. Although not sufficiently inferwed to speak with much defini'eness on the British enlistment question, his opl- pion was that to suppose any serious controveray was likely to grow out of that dubject wax to supposs that common renee and reason had taken their ture trom those who have tbe management of public affairs in both countries.

The British were not required to abandon that proteciora'e, while, at the aame time every - preraution had been takea by the American negotistor to attain that substantial object ~prevenising Great Britain from exercising any domiuion there uniter auy form or pretext whn‘ever, He would not deny that Great Britefu might now be disposed to avail herselt or ‘the forbearance ou our part to defeat entirely the onjact of the treaty, but be cid not think 1! expedient ai present ‘or thir government to take aay step whisn mignt pring on # cenilict, not with Engisnd slove, but her allies, in- cluding the whole cf Weanera Europe.

QUORUM IN BOTH HOUBES—PAYING MONEYS FOR LOOKWOOD'S DEFICIENOIES—NEW HAT CONTRACT FOR WATGON—NEW POLITICAL BOARD OF STATE OFFICERS—PROVIDING AGAINST ERECTING MORE UNSAFE BUILDINGS IN THE CITY OF NEW YORE— BFFECTS OF FILLMOBE’S NOMINATION, TC. Aumasr, Feb. 26, 1856. Both houses proceeded to business this morning, each having a quorum pressnt. Members were improved in health, and came together, after having visited Phiiadel- phia, Pittsburg and their homes, in a spirit of pleasantry and conciliation. ‘The Senate spent a portion of the day upon the bill paying the Fishkili Bank some three thousand doilars, diseounted for Mr. J. Lockwood, agent of Sing Sing pri- son. The debate was quite eisborate on the question whether the bank should surrender to the State certain secarities deposited im the bank by said Lockwood. It ‘was finally decided to psy the bank out of the State trea- sury without the securities, The Chatham Bank has also a claim, but doubts hang over it. We again ask the question, what kind of justice does the Legislature desl out by paying Lockwood's bank debts, and refusing pay- ment to thore persons whe have furnished provisions to the prisoners ? The House bed under consideration a bill aunulling the Watson hat contract at Sing Sing. His mackinery jwas destroyed by fire, fully insured, and his con:ract has yet three years to run. Now he wants to be discnarged from his obligations, and have his contract closed, and the egent be suthorized to enter into a new contract, fora long period ot years. The hatters have become aroussd atthe msnutacture of hats in the prisop, aad Cie tioning that Watson’s contract be not renewed. the bill pares, a new lease of tue services of ove hundred and fifty men will be given the contractor tor many years, The bith~creating a new board of State officers, to be known as tax commission-ra, came up in the Sonate. Mr. Noxon wanted them appointed by the Governor and 3e- wate. An smendment provided making the commission cunsist of eight, one from each judicial district. Mr. J. A. Smith, Know Nothing, wanted these officers selected by Sepators frum thote districis, but the original propo- sition prevailed. This Senator indicated that bill was a mere pohtical machine, and that certain gentlemen were t: be provided with snug official stations. A mx- jority of the Senate, and the Governor, will agree mpon the men, and they will be politicians, and nothiog else. The House paered a dill fo provide agains: unsafe buiid- ings in the city of New ‘York. It contains thirty seven svotions, and is [very specific as to the quality of mate. riais used, the thickness and height of walls, partition walle, quality of mortar to ve used, size of guttera and corn ces, planking and sheathing of rests, openings for doorr ana windows, &. The whole provisions of the bill are oi interest to ‘cwnors and builders; but why the Common Council of New York doea not posseca the power to -egulate the construction ct builcings in the city by ordinance, is matter of inquiry. If the city authorities do not posers the power, they ought to have it. What do the rural members of the Legisiature know about the construction of buildings in New York, especially as the Ten Governors have refauced to ask the Logislature to visit Bis ckweil’s Island? The Know Nothings are not, by any means, united Upon Fillmore’s nomination. The old allver gray whigs lone exult. and, unver al the circumstances, way the porination was the best that could be made. The de- moerats, who have carried the dark lantern for a twelve month. would have supported George Law with enthu. sisem; but they will not throw up their caps for “our own dear Fillmore.” A rupture ia inevitable, and Sam will be laid in an early grave. fhe negro worshippers and soft Cemocrata are chuckling at the resul’, each exulting in the prospect of carrying the State against the soft gray Know Nothinge. Dr. John Van Buren, an eminent and skilful physician, of this city, was buried this afternoon. SEW YORK LuvisLaTURE. Senate. Aunany, Fob. 26, 1856.
