' Intelligence by the River. IN ADVANCE UF THE MAIL. 4 . - LOCOFOCO NATIONAL CONVEN

TION. . . The Locofoco National convention,for the nomination of candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, met at Baltimore in the Egyptian Saloon on Monday the 27th. The convention was temporarily organized by appointing, on motion of Mr. Romulus M. "Saunders, of North Carolina, Mr. II. B. Wright, of Pennsylvania, to the chair, and Mr. Thos. F.Ritchie, of Richmond Va. secretary. Considerable debate followed as to the rules and regulations which should govern the convention. A resolution was finally offered by Mr. Walker, of Mississippi,and subsequently modified, authorizing the appointment or a committee of twenty six,consisting of one delegate from each State, whose duty it should be to ascertain the names,number, and qualifications of the several delegates in attendance at the convention, and that said committee report the result of their investigations to the chairman of the convention at 4 o'clock, to which hour, upon motion,the convention adjourned. At 4 o'clock, P. M., the convention reassembler?. Mr. Ilnmmet. of MississinnL moved that all persons not : "members of tbe convention should be politely requested to withdraw. The motion was' finally with drawn. The chairman of thp committee of 26 now came forward and reported the result of their deliberations. He stated that all the States were fully and justly represented, except Louisiana, which had but two, and South Carolina which was altogether unrepresented. On their investigation they had discovered but one gentleman claiming lo be a delegate, whose credentials they had seen fit to reject. It appeared by the report that the following were the numbers in at tendance from the several States, viz: Maine 9; New Hampshire 6; Massachusetts "12; Vermont 6; Rhode Island 4; Connecticut 6; New York 35; New Jersey 7; Pennsylvania 26; Delaware 2; Maryland 8; Virginia 53; Georgia 10; Alabama 5; Mississippi 14; Louisiana 2; Tennessee 13; Kentucky 29; Ohio 23; Indiana 12; Illinois 9; Michigan 5; Missouri 8; Arkansas 3. Total 308. The report was then unanimously adopted. The convention was then permanently or ganized by the election of II. B. Wright, of! Pennsylvania, as presidentand a large num ber of vice presidents arid secretaries. A resolution was now offered by Mr. Saunders, of North Carolina, that the convention be governed by the rules and regulations which controlled and governed the deliberations of the Locofoco JNational conventions of 1832 and 1835, exceptingso tar as they related to the appointment of officers for the organization of the convention. An amendment of the above was submitted by Mr. Butler, of New York, and accepted the two-thirds rule, as it is termed, or that particular rule in those of 1832 and 1835, requiring a vote of two-thirds of the delegates present to secure a nomination. The question on this great and aU-importanVslurabIing-bl6cli,beirig now fairly before the convention, Senator Walker, of Mississippi, went into an argument, and contended in strong and emphatic terms for retaining the the two-thirds rule. He be came very warm upon the subject, and at certain moments was applauded by the audience, which applause was followed by loud, continued hissing and much excited feeling, The president was compelled to command order, and request that no more significations ot approbation be made whilst gentlemen were speaking,in order that the ou;breakings of disapprobation might also be avoided. Mr. Butler, of New York, the Ex-Attorney General, rose and announced his intention of replying, wfien Mr. Saunders, or North Carolina, resumed the floor in a very warm speech of considerable length, in which he contended most strenuously for the adop tion of the two-thirds rule, and made some severe references to the course pursued by the Globe relative to the rule in question, Mr. Butler, of New York, now took the floor and made a speech of over a hour in length , in reply. During the course of his observa tions he exposed some caucus secrets ex ceedingly ominous, and, to all segments of Locofocoism, rather alarming. He had been appointed a delegate to the. Convention,and accepted his credential.-), as were and did his colleagues, with instructions to support and do all in their power to secure the nomination of a certain person,(meaning, of course, Van Buren,) and in consenting to the adoption of the two-thirds rule, he with them would prove unfaithful to their trust and their honor. He knew well that in voting by simple majority, the friend he was pledged to support, and others with him likewise pledged, would receive ten to fifteen majority, and consequently the nomination. If, however, two-thirds should be required lo make a choice, that friend (Mr. Van Bureu) must inevitably be defeated, and that defeat caused by the action of states which could not be claimed as Democratic. He further predicted, if the rule should be carried,dismembermeutand final breaking up of the party. If people persisted in going for men and not measures, a black flag would be raised over them the pall of death would shrtfud their hopes, and a funeral dirge might be sung. Mr. B. was also fully of opinion, if the twothirds rule should prevail, the convention would have to adjourn tine die without ef fecting a nomination at all, as he believed neither himself nor those who thought with him would advance one jot towards making conciliations. , After concluding his remarks, a motion was made to postpone tte further discussion of this topic until the next day, which was carried. The convention then adjourned to meet on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. We copy an abstract ot tne proceedings of Tuesday, from the Baltimore Sun of Wednesday: "Mr. Tibbatts, of Kentucky, rose to respond to the remarks of Mr. Butler, of New York. He had understood that gentlemen to express his determination to adhere to bis p eference for a particular individual in any event. He regretted if he had understood the gentleman aright. Mr. T. then briefly advocated the two-thirds rule; and further remarked that if his favorite candidate for the nomination (Colonel Johnson) failed to

obtain the unanimous vote ol the convention, the Kentucky delegation would sacrifice him with a ready will. Great applause. It was said that Mr. Van Buren could not obrain a vote of two-thirds of this con vention ;

and if the fact was true with reference of Colonel Johnson, and his friends should adhere to him with the same tenacity as that manifested for Mr. Van Buren by his friends, the slaughter of Tecumseh and the common enemy in the battle in which he fell,' would not behalf so great as that which would fall upon the Democracy of the country. "The Hon. Marcus Morton, of Massachusetts, then obtained the floor, and proceeded to a discussion of the question before the House. He advocated the doctrine of the majority as equally sustained by precedent with the two-third rule. "He was followed by Mr. Walker, of Mississippi, who referred to the speech of Mr. Butler, of New York. The delegation from New York, he understood, had -come here with instructions to vote for the rescisionsof the two-third rule, not to secure the success that is impossible but the empty honor ol a nomination of a particular individual. Thus according to his own argument, if the nomination of Mr. Van Buren could only be accomplished by the adoption of the twothird rule, we should find him the warm ad vocate ol that principle. X bus it appears that rules are to be taken up or put down, twisted, and turned to secure the empty glory of a nomination by a mere majority. If New York has sent her delegates here with such instructions, she has not done it in a spirit of Democratic brotherhood and good faith. New York, it has been shown, voted for the two-third rule in the conventions of 1832 and 1835, and is this a time to ' abandon such a principle? Is the hour when darkness aud gloom overhung our heads to retreat from the principles which have been adopted as vital to success? When the flag of the enemy has been thrown vauntingly to. the winds in all the pride of anticipated victory ? And when a campaign has been projected which, by the means to be used in their application to the passions of people, threatens a more disasterous result to the Democratic party than that of 1840, with its log cabins, hard cider, and coon skins? And in referring to which,- said Mr. W., 1 thought the gentlemen from New York had been touched in the sympathetic cord, when I saw him give three or four jumps from the flocr, laughter, and the finest specimen of tallvautingl ever saw. Roars of laughter.! Really I never saw him cut such a prank be fore. Laughter. Mr. Walker continued his remarks, directing them chiefly to .the Democratic character of the two-third rule. "Lt. Gov. Dickinson, of New York, then took the floor and engaged the undivided attention of the convention, to a well contended argument against the amendment. He had no objection to members giving Mr. Van Buren a vote of two-thirds; he should rejoice to see it but that gentleman was entitled to a nomination at the hands of a majority. He had come here instructed to vote by New York, to vote for her favorkeson, as the most efficient candidate for the Presi dency. "At this period the attention of the presi dent was invited to a splendid boquet,which a gentleman stated he had been requested to present to the president of the convention by a democratic lady of this city. "Mr. Saunders, of North Carolina, propos ed that the president leturn the thanks of the convention to the fair lady who had mani fested her interest in the cause of Democ racy in this elegant and appropriate man ner. The motion was carried with a regular round of applause, and an amendment at tached that the thanks of the president be presented in person. Mr. Saunders then continued his remarks in reply to the speech of Mr. Butler. Mr. Walker asked permission to request his friend, Mr. Saunders, to - withdraw his amendmeut, and let the vote be taken on the motion of Clifford, of Maine, to refer the subject of rules to a committee from the States, The house refused to grant it. Af ter some further debate, the vote was taken on Mr. Saunder's substitute, which propos ed the adoption of the two-third rule, which resulted as follows: Yeas 148, Nays 116 1 he convention then adjourned to meet again at half-past 3, when it was resolved to proceed with the balloting. , Afternoon Session. The Convention met pursuant to adjourn raent, when it va3 called lo order by the president, and the balloting proceeded at once, as follows, the States votiug as they - . i ii i -i i. were respecuveiy cauea trom tne chair: ihe results of 7 ballotings were as fol lows : 1st. 2d. 127 94 33 9 0 1 I 3d. 121 92 88 11 2 2 0 4th lit 105 32 17 0 I 0 5th 103 107, 29 26 0 1 0 6th 101 IIS 23 25' ,0 I 0 7th Van Buren, 146 Cats, 83 99 123 Johnson, 24 Buchanan, 4 Woodbury, 2 21 22 Calhoun, 6 Stewart I The particulars of the seventh vote were as follows: New Hampshire gave 3 for Van Buren and 3 for Buchanan: Rhode Island gave 2 for Van Buren, 1 for Cass, and 1 for Johnson Massachusetts gave 6 for Van Buren, 5 for Cass, and 1 lor Johnson: Pennsylvania eav 12 for Van Buren, 4 for Cass, 1 for Johnson aud 9 for Buchanan; Maryland gave 8 for Uass: fMorth Carolina gave for Van Buren 6 for Cass, and 2 for Johnson; Illinois gave 1 for V an Buren, 5 lor Cass, and 3 for John son. Total, 99 for Van Buren ; 123 for Cass 22 for Buchanan; 21 for Johnson, and 1 for Calhoun. There were 286 votes cast on each ballot, 177 being necessary to a choice. Neither candidate having at any time received that number of votes,of course no nomination was effected. After tbe result of the seventh ballot had been declared, Mr. John K. Miller, of Ohio, rose and asked to be permitted to submit a motion to the convention, on which, in view of the position which he occupied, he should demand the yeas and nays, and if decided in the negative it would probably dissolve his connection with the convention. Some objection having been manifested, Mr. Miller declared with much vehemence, that he was entitled to, and would demand as his right, a

respectful hearing. He represented 10,000 ot the Democracy of Ohio, and in the name of that 10,000, he demanded it. He would read his motion. It was as follows : Resolved, That Martin Van Buren, having received the vote of a majority of the delegates in this convention, on the' first ballot,

is elected as the nominee for the office of President of the United States. A number of gentlemen instantly rose to a point of order, when Mr. Miller leaped upon the bench and continued, amidst the general din, to speak with violent gesture and loud vociferation, though it was impossible to hear what he said. Mr. Hickman, of Pennsylvania, who occupied a front seat, rose, and above the confusion, suddenly proposed a resolution, that Gen. Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, receive the unanimous vote of this convention as a candidate for the office of President of the United States. This was received with mingled applause and goodhumored laughter. The President decided that the resolution was out of order. Mr. But ler, of New York, offered a motion to adjourn which was lost by acclamation. In the meantime, the confusion increased, several of the Ohio delegation being upon their feet, in an effort to sustain their colleage. Cries of 'order,' 'order,' 'Mr. President,' 'I have the floor,' &c, made 'confusion worse confound ed,' and nearly the whole convention had risen, all eyes being attracted to thai part of tie room occupied by the Ohio delegation. At length Mr. Medary commanded the at tention of the convention, and by a strenu ous effort made himself heard; he said he could explain the matter instantlv. All that was desired, was an appeal from the decision ot the chair to the convention. 1 he presi dent said the appeal must be reduced to wri ting, or it could not be entertained. Mr. Me dary was then permitted, by consent, to speak to the appeal. He then proceded to a discussion of the right of the convention to rescind an inoperative rule, and continued in a desul tory argument to speaK against the decision of the chair. The scene was thereafter one of incessant confusion, though the violence which had previously characterized it had abated. Mr. Butler asked permission, when Mr. Medary took his seat, to address a few remarks to the gentleman from. Ohio, and proceded with a few sentences, when he was inter rupted by a call to order, and a denial that le had the unanimous consent of the covention. Mr. Bartley, acting Governor ofOhio, quite young man, then succeded in obtaining the floor by first talking to the benches. He assailed at some length the decision of the chair, and discussed the right of the convention to recind a rule which interfered with the accomplishment of the object for which they had met. He contended that the can didate who had received the majority of voles on the first ballot, was better entitled to a nomination than that candidate who had been, on the first choice of the convention, n a small minority. He continued at some ength, in the same spirit, and at length re signed the floor, but a small portion of what he said having been heard beyond his immediate vicinity. Mr. McNulty, of the Ohio delegation, then succeeded in obtaining the floor, from the elevation of the benches, and was speaking on the appeal when the president decided that it must be reduced to writing. This was accordingly done declaring as follows: 1 he president having decided that it re quires a vote of two-thirds to suspend or re scind a rule for the government of this con vention, I appeal trom that decision. lie then spoke on the question, but. was requently called to order. He investigated the usage of parliament, and contended in favor of his appeal. He was speaking up to about 7 o'clock, when a motion was made to adjourn until 9 o clock to-morrow morning, which, after a division, prevailed. LATER. Wednesday's proceedings, From the Balti more. Clipper. The convention was called to order at 9 o'clock, and after some debate proceeded to an 8th ballot, which resulted, Van Buren 104, Cass 114, Buchanan 2, Polk 44. Mr. But ler, of New York, then asked permission for the delegation from his State to retire for con sultation, which was granted. Mr. Hubbord, from NewIIampshiie,made a brief speech, putting forth the name of Jas. K. Polk, and appealing in favor of calm and conciliatory action. Mr. Medary of Ohio, spoke of conciliation, went the whole figure ior tne annexation ot i exas. lie was congratulating h'mself upon being surrounded by . many members of the pre S3, and was proceeding when a gentleman from Massachu setts asked what was before the Convention The Chair said a motion to proceed to a 9th ballot.

Besides the above, there were two voles

given for Mr. Van Buren, by Ohio ten for Mr. Calhoun, and one for Mr. Morton, by Mass. " Mr. Butler, ofN.Y., then produced a letter from Mr. Van Buren authorizing him to withdraw his name,!f it interposed any obstacle in the way of an unanimous selection. The delegates who had cast their votes for various others, immediately changed them, and the result was an unanimous vote for -MR. POLK. The convention took recess to 4 o'clock. Re-assembled and was called to order. Mr. Walker, of Mississippi, in a very happy speecb,put forth the name of Silas Wright, of N. York, as a candidate for the, Vice Presidency. Mr. Droomgoole addressed the Convention, applauding Mr. Van Buren, and noting the sacrifice New York had mode in yielding her favorite son, &c. The convention then proceeded to ballot for Vice President, which resulted as follows: For Silas Wright, of N. Y. 258 For Levi Woodbcky, of N. H. 8 Hon. Silas Wright was accordingly de

clared duly nominated as candidate for the office of Vice President of the United States. After giving a vote of thanks to Mr. Hubbard, Pres. pro tem, and lo the "Odd Fellows' Society" for the use of their Hall, the Convention adjourned until half-past 7 o'clock Thursday morning." STILL LATER. From tho Louisville Journal of Tuesday. In the convention on Wednesday morn ing, seven ballotings having taken place on the preceding day, a strong effort was made by several of the delegates to induce the convention to make a unanimous declara tion that Mr. Van Buren had been nominated to all intents and purposes on the first bollotjinasmuchashe had received a majority of all the votes. The convention, however, adhered to the two-thirds rule. The eighth ballot then took place & resulted as follows: Van Buren 104, Cass 114, Calhoun 2, Polk 44, Bucharan 2. After this ballot great confusion ensued. Crimination and recriminatioa followed. The whole proceedings of tho convention seemed on the point of coming to a violeat end. Mr. Butler, of New York, asked permission for the New York delegation to retire, but It was not granted. The New York delegation, how ever, finally did retire, and when they returned their chairman, Mr. Butler, stated that he had been authorized to withdraw Mr Van Buren, and in the course of his speech he mentioned that he had received a letter within a day or two from Gen. Jackson, expressing the hope that the convention would be enabled to unite on Mf. Van Buren as the candidate for President. After the announcement of "the determination of New York to give up Mr. Van Buren, the delegations all finally united on James K. Polk, of Tennessee. On the ninth ballot, the State proceeded to vote in their regular or der, and several votes had been given for Van Buren till they came to New York. The delegates from this State asked time for consideration, and in about half an hour decided that ihey would vote for Mr. Polk. This changed the whole thing, and then, after considerable delay, the delegates from the other States proceeded to cast their voles for Mr. Polk. The votes that had already been cast against him were changed, and an unanimous vote recorded for him. The convention then adjourned to 4, P. M. At 3, the convention re-assembled, and proceeded to the nomination of a candidate for the Vice Presidency. Mr. Nutall,of Ky. said he was directed by the Kentucky delegation to withdraw the name ofR. M. John son as a candidate. After a number of speeches, the convention proceeded to ballot, and on the first ballot it appeared that Silas Wright, of N. Y., had 259 votes, and Levi Woodbury, of N. H., 8 votes, the latter from the State of Georgia, that State having also given two votes for Mr. Wright. The convention then adjourned to the following morning. The account of the nomination of Silas Wright was communicated as soon as made,to Washington, by Morse's Telegraph. Thereupon an answer was returned from Washington, that Mr. Wright was then in the Capitol, and wished it to be said to the conven tion that "he declined the nomination." When this answer was received, a number of Mr. W.'s friends, who were at the telegraph, sent on a request that he would reconsider his declination, and accept the nomination. Word was immediately returned, that ilr. W. was then preparing an - answer and would respond in a few minutes. In a short time the response came, saying "that under no cirevmstances could Mi- W. consent to accept the nomination for the Vice Presidency." The next morning the convention re-as-scmbled, and Geo. M. Dallas received the nomination for the Vice Presidency.

Ekd of The "Mob Convention." Immediately upon the nomination of Dallas on the fourth day of its agony, the Convention adjourned and thua prevented that gentleman from declining, as every body else had As soon as the vote of adjournment had pass

ed, Mr. McGinnis, one of the delegates from Missouri, took the chair just vacated by tbe president, and addressed the convention: He said that h e took that opport uuit y to proclaim that he bore no part in the responsibility of what the convention had done. '-It has," he said, "committed a gross fraud a fraud upon the Democratic party a fraud upon thecountry. I go against it; Missouri will go against it 1 denounce it. I know that it is useless to spend more breath upon the subject here, but the people will see it, and treat it as it deseives to be treated. Mr. McGinnis is, we understand,' one of the Locofoco electoral candidates of the Slate ol Missouri, and a man of great influence in that State, among the party, as his selectiou'as a delegate to the convention and as an elector fur President is positive evidence. George M. Dallas, the Locofoco candidate for Vice President, wus always in favorof a Protective Tariff! and was the author of the Bill to re-charter the U. S. Bank, which Gen. Jackson vetoed!! We suppose that Polk will run on tbe Free trade and anti-Bank hobby in the Sou:h, and Dallas for Bank and Protection in the North and West. It won't do however the latter measures Lave already candidates for the whole country. The Vice Presidential nomination upon the Poke Ticket, actua'ly went a begging. Silas Wright repelled the idea that he could, "cnder ART CIRCUMSTANCES BE 1KDCCKO to UCCeptof it," with indignation Mr. Buchanan, and Col. Johnson severally refused it, and it was even scorned by Gov. Morton, of Mass., who has run more desperate heats than any other broken down political hack in the country. This was too desperate even for him. ' (&-IIIGHLY IMPORTANT. Joux Tvler has accepted the nomination for the Presidency. SCREWS LOOSE IN OLD BERKS. We observe in the last number of the Berks and Schuylkill Journal, says tbe Harrisburg, Pa., Clay Bugle, the proceedings of a meeting held in Lower Heidelberg township, composed of a portion of the disaffected ''democracy" of Old Berks, Tbe President ol the meeting waa one of the leading spirits in the ranks of Locofoism a year or two ago, and a majority of those who participated have heretofore been identified with Locofocoism. Col. Hugh Lindsay, whose renunciation of Locofocoism is fresh in the memory of our readers, delivered an address in German which was enthusiastically applauded. The following expressive resolutions were unanimously adopted. - t Resolved, That we hail wiih much satisfaction the evidence in all parts of the country and in this county that the people are awakemins to a sense of the importance ol- the coming crisis, and are preparing to give an united support to Clat, Fbelingduysen and Markle. Resolved, That the nomination of Clay and Frelinghuysen meets our cordial approbation, believing as we do that they will sustain sound democratic principles, we will give them our hearty supcort. Resolved, That we go heart and hand for the soldier and farmer of Westmoreland, Gen. Joseph Markle, as our candidate for Governor, Sc that we view with contempt the assertions ol our opponents that he is ''incompetent" believing that a Farmer i just as fit for a governor as a Parson. Resolved, That we are in favor of Tariff and the party which supports a tariff believing that it is right our wormngmen ana laoorers should be protected against the cheap labor of Europe. Resolved, That the nomination of the Rev. Henry A. Mublenburg, having been obtained through his money, contrary to the wishes of the People, no thus Democrat can sustain six. Resolved, That whereas Henry A Muhlenburw was nominated through the aid ofGov. Porter aud is now in the hands of the tools of Gov. Porter, we believe his election would be Gov. Porter's corrupt administration over again a thin we NEVER CAN CONSENT TO. CAPTAIN TYLER THE SPOILS. Mr. Spencer resigned the office of Secretary of the Treasury, because having declined to transfer $100,000 to a confidential agent on secret service,at the request of the President, without authority of law. that officer sent him a peremptory order to make the transfer, law or no law. This Mr. S. refused to do, resigned, and left the olhce in 24 hours. But the money is said to be gone and much more confidentially applied. Here is a nother scrap of history, which mat shed some light on the other. It is from the Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Evening Post. About the time of the meeting oi Congress, there were loud complaints of Mr. Henshaw, for dismissing the laborers at the Navy Yards, and turning off these poor men with half finished jobs. An act was passed appropriating $120,000 with provisions lor reinstating these men, at least until their jobs were finished. Well, the men have not been set to work ; but the money is gone; that and much more has vanished! The use to which it has been applied unknown. The poor workingmen remain without employment, or the President's sympathy, and the unfinished jobs,slationary. An item of $120,000 in an account so limited as that of the Navy repairs, to be utterly wasted Si wholly unaccounted for in the short space of three months, ought to attract some little public attention ! But Congress is too busy in manufacturing subterranean political capital, to attend to the concerns of the Nation.
