OUR HARRISBURG CORRESPONDENCE. seventy delegates were tn attendance. An attempt was made to form some sert of a basis to go into the Con- wention upon. Speeches were made by ex-Senstor Cooper, MeCalment, and scores ef other aspirants, who had a speesh under their shirt, and considered that upon their delivery rested the hopes of the country. No business was transacted—the entire evening was taken up by the delegates in letting off the ‘‘ gas’ which their sto- amachs seemed to be full of, The eastern and central dele- gates spoke in a conciliatory tone, whilst the members trom Witmot’s:district and those from the west were exceedingly rabid, end insisted that their peculiar negro worshipping views should be endorsed by that caucus and become the basis of the Convention. In that position, with a dare prospect before them, the caucus adjourued until uine o’clook this moruing, At 9 A.M, the caucus was called to order, H. K. Strong, cf Philadelphia, in the chair. A motion was then made and supported by the negro worshipping delegates, that the Coavention meet at 3 P.M. In supporting that resolution that branch of the Convention admitted that they wanted to know some- thing abou! the basis that Coaven ioa waa upon, and that the basis should be settled here, unless something could be ag:eed upon to suit thew they woald not go into the Convention, thus cae oaery md onca the argument that the followers of Seward and Grealey have always used—ihat is, rule or ruin. Atter @ lengthy and spirived discussion the hour of 72 ‘M. waz agreec upon to commence the work in the Con- vention. Mr. McCatmont, (nigger worshipper), of Venango county. offered the tollowing resolution as tne basw of the platform :— ‘Whereas, the presett national administration by the repeal of the Miseouri compromise ut the dictation of and gnc oral demagogues; the remove) of honest aad competent men trom cfllees of honcr and trast, that :beir places might be fied + with eorrept pi 4 incompetent acd inefficient politi- cai gamblers; by refusing to prevect oar fellow-elizeas ta Kaui as tn the enjos ment of the rights guaranteed to trem by we con: tivation of ibe United chates and laws of by ite craven yieleing to the strong, and bearuess and less, oppesition of the weak, has shown ftelf mighty for evi and powerless for good, aud bas jua-y forteited all ¢ aus to the Feepect and eoudiuence of he people of this commonwealth; refore, Rego ved, That we will use all hoporable means to prevent the evils about to be eucailed upon us by the corrupt and sec- tional policy of the present nadonal administration; that we are determinedly opposed to the admission of aay States into this contederacy formed out of terri ory from which siavery was excluded by the Missouri compromise, except a free Sttes—to the exiention of slavery over any territory now {ree belongiog to the United States, and w the taterferenos of any foreign, civil or ecclesiastical power ia the political insututions ct our country. Mr. FRraxku (whig and Attorney General of the State) said that those resclutions, amd the speeshes already made, demonstratea to his miad that the oppo- sition to the national administra!ion could not be resisved. He was satisfied that the opposition was not a homeo- enous mass, but if united they could give at least £0,000 majority against the democratic party. He was in favor of nominatiog @ ticket of one from each branch ‘of the oppositicn, and was willing to take that asa plat- form. He was not opposed to tho resolutions just offered. Mr, Wuuanson (veceder from the Pailadelphia -Con- vention) didn’t want avy resolutions. Opposivion to the Pierce dy was encugh for him. Mr. lyGHam (Wi'motite) said the resolations were not strong enough. He wanted resclutions adopted against any further extension of slarery, either in Northern or Southern territory. They could and would stand on no other platform. Mr. Pater (American) said he came exclusively as an American, That was the :a'lying ery in his county— no orber subject was spoken ot there. He considered that his position, coming as he did from the central part of the 6, was such as would enab.e him to offer the olive branch to the two extremes. He was willing to give one cardidate to each party represented, and each party might have their own plank in, provided that they put no nonsense in it; and he would go for it. He wou'd eu- doree the resolution before the caucus, as he was opposed to the further entension of slavery: but if they put in a pose saying that under no consideration sho2id Kansas ‘admitted asa slave State, he would not go for it, tor he contidered that as nonsense. E - ‘The resolutions were then adopted, without a dissent ing voice, and the esucus adjourned. ‘The general feeling manifested in the cwucus was for the ceiega‘es to meet ia esucus from time to tit and there settle all their petty quarrels, so that the opponents coud not obtain ther weal points, snd thereby avoid their attacks. Pree-edirg from the caucus afier its adjournment to the Hall of entatives, 1 at onse notice’ that it pre- sented afar different appearance from what it didon :he morning of the 4th of March, when the democracy assexn- bled there. The ball was but slimly filled, amd any per- son with halfan eye oeuld recognise a far different a; pearance from the members composing tae Democrati: Convention. There is, however, some of the best talent in the State in the Convention. At 12 o’clock the Convention was called to order by placing Jchn Covoce (nigger-worshipping Congressman) tem ly in the chair, ana Messrs. Beatty, Funk and Ingham secretaries. A list of delegates was then called, and twenty-nine Senatorial eighty-seven Representative delegates answered to their names. Oa mo ion of J. R.

Ho strongly adv seated the Repad- lican Nomivating Convention that meets in Jane next, and the support ot the nominee of that boty. Teis Convention hed, in his opinion, assembled here surrounded wich yeculiar cireumstances, such as have. perhaps, never before eurrounded aay ‘pariy, and th:t the various elements that were here was the result of the ruinous polisy of the democratio party.

He said that he would not row make a speech, but at some fature time he would be found ready to advocate and de‘en4 his po- litical principles.

The two former made bold threats of withdrawing from the Convention untess the Americans were willing to concede to their views.

A very superior progremme hee been prepare) for tne occasion. NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1856. ‘There was rather a dull mavket today. None of the leading speculative stocks were in demand, and the amount of transactions was less than we have known for many days, The tendency of prices was downward, but the decline was not near 20 much as the inactivity of the market justified. At the first board Reading Railread declined 2 per cent; Hudson Railroad, 3; Michigan Southern, 3; Galena and Chicago, }} New York Centval Railroad ‘ad- vanced @er cenf; Cleveland and Toledo, 3. It is, we believe ,the ingention of this company to declare in a few days,a semi-annual dividend of four pe cent, payable at about the usual time. This hasz given great activity to the stock and improved its market value. During the past three or four days the purchases have been unusually large. New York Central Railroad stock was more active than usual to-day, at better prices. The cause is entirely local, and cannot be otherwise than temporary. Hudson River Railroad fell off. The bridge question could not have had a contrary effect on two roads similarly interested. The construction of s bridge across the Hudson river at Albany would seriously injure that city, while it would not be of much service to either of the railroads concerned. The Hudson River Railroad never can Lea heavy freighting road. It has not facilities a its terminus in this city to dispose of or distributet vast quantities of produce and merchandise. Greater difficulties and longer delays would be experienced, in sending away freight than are now experienc ed and we doubt if merchandise coming from and going to the New York Central road, by the Hudson River road would reach the hands of owners any quicker than by the present modes of conveyance. Rail- roads terminating upon the island of New York never can do a large freighting busi- ness. If they place their depots ata distance up town, the expense of getting to and from will be too great for the competition going on be" tween the different companies. The constraction of a bridge across the Hudson river at Albany would expedite the transportation of passengers to and from Boston and New York. It would injure Albany by taking travellers immediately through that city, instead of stopping there. It would not help the passenger traffic of the railroad companies concern- ed, for that route between the East and the West gets now all the through travel it can command under any circumstances, Recent returns of the New York Central Railroad Company show no in- crease in its passenger business. The increase in the gross receipts of that company is almost entirely from its freighting business, which is known to be on all Eastern roadsa poor business at the best. The firmest stock on the list to-day was Milwaukie and Micsisaippi. A small lot of only ten shares sold at 863 percent. The stock is scarce, and a large quantity could not be obtained without putting np the mar. ket far beyond the present views of buyers. By and by they will get more used to high prices, and then they will regret the losa of present opportunities. Our duty is performed in directing the public mind to the most promising investments of the day. Chieago and Rock Island remains firm. The daily salés are small. This stock can safely be put down asa permanent ten per cent investment. The road earns much more than that, but it is carefully managed and a proper reservation made for the re- newal fund. Such a policy guarantees permanency in the payment of fair and satisfactory dividends- Michigan Southern was lower to-day, with limited transactions. Holders of this stock know that they have one of the best securities in the market, and can calculate upon annual ten per cent dividends about as confidently as they can upon the rising of the sun. Such a stock may be temporarily depressed two or three per cent, but it is sure to come up again 10 its proper level. At the second board the market was steady. The transactions in Cleveland and Toledo was large, without any material change in prices. Nicaragua Transit fell off to 13} per cent—a decline of 1} per cent within the past two days. Etie was @ quarter lower this afternoon. The market at both boards to-day was dull. There is evidently a move- ment going on in Cleveland and Toledo, and that is the only stock on the list at all active or buoyant. Spe- culators are anxiously waiting the appearance of the Erie Railroad report. All sorts of rumors are afloat relative to its points and suggestions, and we want something of an official character. It is sus- pected that between two hundred and fifty and three hundred thonsand dollars are required for expendi- tare on construction account. This will take 90 much from the net earnings. The Assistant Treasurer reports to-day as fol- lows:— Paid on Treasury Account Reesived “ Balance ag Paid for Assay office...

With importers, trade has been less animated, though not as much disposition has been manifested to press sales. The prevailing westerly winds, which have checked the arrival of vessela with cargoes of dry goods, and the total loss of others, have acted favorably in behalf of importers who had previously received ample stocks, by tending to keep up prices. Accounts from merchants of the South and Southwest speak very favorably of the state and prospects of the trade. Sales had been good and supplies materially reduced. The large crop of cotton the past season» and the increased value imparted to it by the pros- pects of a speedy peace, have placed consumers in an improved position in that section of the country. They are better able to meet maturing indebted- ness, a8 well as to purchase more freely for con- sumption hereafter. And should peace be concluded, this condition of trade in that direction must conti~ nue throughout the year. While the large stock of breadstuffs and provisions at the West, combined with the conclusion of peace, and the re-opening of the Black Sea ports, must tend to depress prices; and hence the business of the West for the coming year will not likely prove #0 large or so profitable to our dry goode dealere az that of the past year. The » in ‘peasons, and at time attended . to the inex; the oF cotton, con: * , on which im r3 are purchased for and are most consumed by the planters of the Southern collect ve been good the and even the “ raven list” of the stocks are said to be Renerally, with the exception ot heavy woollens, much reduced at the West. Do-. mestic ‘goods have continued in fair demand, at steady prices. Prints have been in good request, e demand has been, if reo deta oy in excess of the supply of desirable styles. Gi been in moderate request. The market for brown ehirtings and sheetings has been good, without change of moment in quotations. leached do. do. have been in co request, at steady priees. Drills were in good nd. Mouselin de laines were inac- tive in a general way, while new and desirable styles maintained their footing. Cloths were dull, and the trade in cassimeres and satinets limited.
