A Raging Storm.

During the greater part of the last session ol tho convention a torrtlto thunderstorm rugefl. It seemed as If tho elemonts lmd conspired to disturb the great democratic parliament. Aaln beat down on thq roof until the speitluin) could not be heard 10 foot from the 'platform. Frequent loud peals of thundor shook the .building and frlghteued lu ooeupants. Oaok In the galleries everything was InUy blaok. Tlie gloom, was appalling. Nearly all the lights were grouped In the center of the enormous hull, ilcyond tho llrst row of seats behind the delegates nothing was rlslblo. Occasionally tlx scene would ohonge, a.flash of lightning would show through the canvass curtains of tho root and brighten up'the gallerlos, showing rows ol pale facos with eyes fastened on tho platform.' When the orowd in tho galleries shouted—and It was shouting all the time—the sound seemed to come from a monster cava

Tho secretary then called the states of I^ouisiana, Ma4ne, Maryland and Massachusetts. Neither of them had a name to present fJr tho vice presidential nomination. When Miehlwin was called Don M. Dickinson said that his state WQUld present a candidate through Hon. Kdwiu Uhl. Mr. Uhl took the platform and placed in nomination the name of Hon. Allen II.

At the conclusion of the nominating speeches the roll of stales was called. Chairman Wilson announced the candidates as Isaac P. Gray, of Indiana Adlai K, Stevenson, of lllinots A. H. Morse, of Michigan, and J. L. Mitchell, of Wisconsin. The result of the ballot is shown in the table printed above. Stevenson's election was not opposed owing to the operation of the twothirds rule.

Th© r*nal Wild Scene.

The announcement of Gen. Stever:rn's noW nation was followed by a repotition of the scenes of wild disorder and enthusiasm which have become so common in conventions of late years. Tho delegates cheered and the crowd howled. Above the heads of the Tumumny delegates swung a big arc light. Some one loosened the roQe and it fell between Gov. Flower and Edward Murphy. A general panic ensued. People fled toward the doors and a number of people climbed on'thedesks'of the reporters. The chairman and the officers finally obtained order, and what might huvo proved a dangerous panic passed ofl without serious injury.

Wants the Public llnrred.

When order had been secured Gon. Collins offered a resolution, which was referred to the new national ^committee, with a recommendation thai It be udopted: .Resolved, That the national committee be instructed to provide for its n*xt convention ac commodations for the delegates, alternates, national committee and the press, and that all others bo excludod."

Gen. Collins made an ^.oquont speech in favor of the resolution, saying that the proceedings of such conventions ought to bo deliberative and great crowds should not be admitted to in terfero with the deliberations. The accident near the Tammany delegation proved a clincher to the Collins resolution and it was admitted that it had reason and common sense iu its favor.

Adjournment.

Votes of thanks were tendered to the committees, the chairman and the city of Chicago, and then amid the music of the band and the oheerlng of the delegates the democratic con ventlon adjourned. It wustttft:20 o'clock that the democratic national convention of. 1832 passed into history.
