The first subject that engaged the attention ofthe Convention on tin fourth day (Thursday) was the contested case from New York. Re ports were read both from the majority and mi nority of the Committee ou l Credentials. Mr. Stephenson,of Kentucky, iu presenting that of the majority, stated that the Committee had heard ablo arguments from both, sets, in which they had agreed to stand upon the noble plat form of the Convention, and pledged their hon or that both suctions would unite and make a common battle lor the nominee of the Conven tion. He then read the majority report recog- uizlng the Suits as a regularly organized por tion of the Democratic party, uud the Hards as au organized body, resolving that the two sec tions be now consolidated; tlmt the Softs have 44 delegates, and the Hurds 2d, and that the minority should not be overridden by the ma jority. Very slight applause followed. Senator Bayard of Delaware, on taking the stand, was greeted with immense applause. He said that ns Chairmau of the Committee on Credentials he wus bound to mah * t minority report. Tim minority felt tUatlhe) „..d ao right to make a distinction between the delegations, but tlmt each section should lie admitted to an equal representation, Ho regretted the neces sity for a minority report, but would nut flinch from hfa duty. The minority report concluded with the fol lowing resolution: Resolved, That the two delegations from New York be authorized to select each thirty-five delegates, uud that the seventy delegates thus selected bo admitted as the ik-legations of the two sections ofthe New York Democracy to this Convention, and that they be allowed one hour to report their selection. The two delega tions are to vote separately in the Convention ; each party to be entitled to seventeen votes, to be cast alternately by tbe two delegations—the Solts casting the odd vote on tlie first ballot. The reading of the resolution was received with immense cheering. The quest.on being the resolution of the mi nority of the committee admitting the delega tion on an equal basis, was then put, resulting as follows : Maine, ayes 0, nays 2; New Hampshire, nays 5 ; Vermont, nays 5 Massachusetts, ayes 3 nays 10; Rhode Island, aye 1, nays 3; Connec ticut, ayes 6; New Jersey, ayes 0, nays 1; Penn sylvania, ayes 27: Delawure, ayes 3 : Maryland, ayes 6, nays 2; Virginia, ayes 15; North Caro lina, nays 10; .South Carolinia, nays 8; Georgia ayes 4, imyes 6; Alabama, nays 0 ; Missisippi, nays 7; Louisiana, nays 0; Ohio, ayes 10, nays 13; Keutucky, ayes 0, nays 6; Tennessee, ayes 10, nays 2: Indiana, uyes 13; Illinois, nays 11; Missouri,myes 6, nays 3: Arkansas, ayes 2, nays 2; Michigan, nays 0 ; Florida, nays 3; Texas- ayes 4; Iowa, nays4; Wisconsin,ayes 5; Caiifor, nia. ayes 4. During the calling of the States, every vote in the affirmative was greeted wiih thunders of applause. A slight applause only attending the negative. The outsiders being evidently with the Hurds. Florida decliued voting. Ou the announcement of the vote, the wil dest enthusiasm was manifested, and deafen ing cheers resounded iu the Convention and galleries. Mr. Preston then moved that a committee of five be appointed to inform the delegates from New York of the action of the Convention. The following gentlemen were appointed a committee under Mr. Preston’s resolution: Mr. Gardner, of Georgia; Mr. Lake, of Virginia, and Mr. Perkens, ot South Carolina. Mr. J. M. Cook, of Ohio, moved that at two o’clock to-dov, the Convention proceed to ballot fora candidate for the Presidency. Adopted unanimously. Afternoon Session. Cincinnati, June 5.—At 2 o’clock the Con vention reassembled, when Col. Preston, from the committee to luform the delagation from New York of the action of the Convention, re- ported that they bad attended to the duty, and that the New York delegates were in tho Hall. Mr. Meade, of Virginia, moved that New York tje now allowed to vote on the platform. Car ried unanimously. When tho vote wos called Mr. Ludlow rose and cast 17 votes for the “ Softs” for the plat form entire—of the “Hards" [Cheers.] Judge Beardsley then rose and cast 18 votes for. the platform entire. [Loud applause and ories for the order of tho day.] Amidst the most intense excitement. Mr. Meade, of Virginia, rose and nominated that able statesman and uncompromising Democrat, Hon. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Harry Hibbard, or New Hampshire nomi nated General‘Frank, Pierce. Mr. Inge, of California, nominated Hon. Lewis Cass, , Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, nominated Hon. Stephen A. Douglas. Much applause succeeded the nomination of Mr. Buchanan and Mr, Douglas, but President Pierce’s name was received coldly.

Buchanan of Pennsylvania was then de clared to be the nominee ofthe Convention for President of the United States. This announce ment was received with the wildest excitement and cheers were given in the galleries and on the floor of the ball. The convention theu adjourned. After the adjournment the city was the sceue ofthe most conBtautexcitement. Various clubs from Pennsylvania headed by a band from Philadelphia, and bearing huge banners, paraded the streets. The Young Men’s Union Club from New York fired a salute. The Missouri delegation waited on the Illinois delegation, and through Mr. Shields presented Hon. W. A. Richardson of Illinois with a hickory stick, as a gift from Horace Stringfellow, of Kansas. VICE PRESIDENT.

A dispatch to the Charleston Standard says Speeches were made by Messrs. Breckenridge, Preston and others, and the Convention having fixed upon Charleston, S. 0., as the place oi meeting for the next Convention, adjourned «tn« die. The President of the Convention after wards spoke. We find the following in the dispatcher for. warded to Nashville. They embrace some items which have not reached us through any other channel. Cincinnati, June 6.—Convention—This morn ing New Hampshire, North and South Carolina. Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Te*as votet lor Douglas—Tennessee for Bachanan. Pierce dwinled down to 3. On the 16th ballot, Maine went entirely for Bachanan—Kentucky all for Douglas. After the announcement of the re sult, Preston, of Kentucky, said that he had stood firmly by Douglas to this point, and he now felt confident that the sense of the Conven tion demanded the nomination of Bachanan. (Immense disorder and cries of no I no!) He was confident the friends of Douglas would best consult his wishes by yielding at once and cheer ingly to the wish ot the Convention. (Cries of Illinois.) Richardson, of Illinois, without advi sing any gentleman what was ms duty to his constituents, said lie felt ue had a duty to per form to bis constituents and the candidate he re presented.

Vexatioue—Surmitee at to Ut Nomination- Judge McLton and the Black Republicans - True Pottey qf the Democrat.. You can but faintly comprehend the vexation all Washington la to-day experiencing because of an interruption to the telegraphic communi cation. Taking advantage of this snspenso, some benevolent persona arc putting facts to gether and deducing Inferences all Beamingly adequate to establish the conviction that Ur. Buchanan la the man for the times. Comforting as these assurances are to some, there are quar ters In thla city In which their author, are look- ed,upon as some of Job's comforters, and as prophets ofthe raven hoe I If the managers of the Republican party in thla city know anything of tho purposes of that isrty, McLean la surely their man. F. P. Blair aa steadfast Mend or Van Buren, as well ae of Benton and Fremont; bat, viewing the iab|eet .radically, he goes for McLean. Clephame. be Republican delegate flora this city, Is hearti ly for McLean. I have also heard old line Whig, and devoted Know-Nothings of this me ridian, express their preference for him, and some of the latter believe Ur. Fillmore will with draw In his fovor. I think that, while he 1. lam objectionable to the nation at large than any of the other probable candidate* of the Republicans be Is also the strongest In that party. While, therefore, I have full confidence In the success ofthe Democratic party, I at the same time regard it aa important that they ahould not do that unwise thing of undervaluing the prowess of their enemy. They can only ano- ceed by energetto and united action. The 8outh must stand In solid phalanx with a little northern aid by their side. Will the convention, reasoning thus, ask who can carry Pennsylva nia, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa? and who oan certainly cany the larger of three? may the response to thla not rule their action, if they can take a Northern man at all? Yon will pro bably have learned by telegraph ere thla anall reach the eyes of your readers: nevertheless, a record or the conjectures passing through the mind of one temporarily shut off from the source of knowledge by the breaking of a wire may have interest to some. tap artial.

Douglas last evening expressed his con viction that thla would M the result and Us satisfaction at tho prospect. Tho Prealdoot has all along communicated with few per sona on tho subject; but, whether true or not, it was yesterday reported that his anxiety in regard to the progress of tho bal lots was almost painfully intense. To-day, however, aa I learn from one who has just left him, he la rejoicing In the completion of his anxieties and In tne7remoral from his mind of a great weight of care. Ex cepting aa It baa been the wish of hie Mends, the President la declared by these who know him best to have long since been perfectly sat isfied with a single term In this high office; bnt “the voice for the succession” la, unfortunately to some extent, the delicate prerogative of eve ry President, while to contloue in office for the gratification of those who placed Um there, la another duty foam which he may not shrink. The “ Union ” and the “Star,” of this city, have, of course, ahown moat decided preferen ces for the President aa a candidate for re-elec tion; and there are not wanting those who nre exultant in the hope that they will find less fo vor with the real nominee la consequence, l ut he to whom has been so cheerfully given the unanimous nomination of a Convention, compos ing ao many men whose first choice was for one ofthese gentlemen, la not likely to make dlvie- lone in the ranks of hla supporters on grounds like these. Some talk has been had of removing the seat of government from Whaahlngton, because of the assault recently made by Southern up on Northern men. In Cincinnati Southern men are rdoin for expressing their opinions. Whither shall the Capitol be takenf It la hoped a safe place may he found before the at tempted removal. Ur.

But he was not the man to contend with a foe whose taotica lead Mm to go beMnd the enemy he would assail. Hla mode of warfare la differ ent.

John E. Ward, of Georgia. This is a well-merited compli ment to the State from whence the selec tion is made, as well os to the distinguish ed gentleman himself. Mr. Warrfia a statesman of high reputation at home, a favorite with his political friends, and en joying the confidence of the whole State. “He has frequently been a member of the legislature, was speaker of the house of representatives of Georgia of 1853 and 1854, and in that capacity attained: the •highest eminence as a parliamentary officer. In the late canvass against knownothingism he did effective service in preserving the State of Georgia from the rule of that odious organization. It is, therefore, satisfactory that such a popular statesman, snch a reliable and consistent national democrat, has been elevated to this high position."

The parents and femliy friends of the erring girl are plunged in the deepest distress in consequence of her conduct; therefore we forbear from giving her name or that of the individual with whom she has fled the country.
