Great enthusiasm was exhibited all along the route; at every point crowds of people thronged the depots. Bands of music, the booming of cannon, and numberless cheers, testified the great interest felt by the masses touching the objects of the Convention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">At this point an immense procession was formed at the depot. A brass band led off, and the immense concourse escorted the delegates through Lake-street, which was brilliantly illuminated. It is estimated that at least twenty thousand people joined in the welcome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">Among the arrivals by the Southern route are Gen. WEBB and Hon. HENRY RAYMOND, of New-York, Mr. TRASK, of Massachusetts, and many of the Eastern delegations. The New-Yorkers mostly came by the other route. The feeling is strong for Mr. SEWARD, but the main question seems to be who can be elected? Can Mr. SEWARD? If so, then he is the first choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">The opinion of the Pennsylvania, New-Jersey, Illinois and Indiana Delegations will have great weight in deciding this point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-190ncxp\">\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">BANKS has many friends. He has six in the Massachusetts Delegation. Nineteen from that State are for SEWARD, and the other is doubtful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">The Rhode Island Delegation was originally half Republican and half American. Since the Baltimore nomination the Americans have bolted, and some trouble is experienced in filling the vacancies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">Maine and Vermont are openly for FESSENDEN. One-third of the Ohians are for CHASE; the balance incline to WADE. CHASE&#8217;s free trade record hurts him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">The hotels are crowded; the streets are alive with enthusiastic shouters, and the spirit of 1840 seems to have revived and broken out afresh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">The Seward men are very confident. The Chase and Wade men work together. The Banks men are quiet, but expect a rally will be made in his favor at an early period. Illinois alone works hard for LINCOLN.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\" style=\"text-align: center;\">HOWARD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Times, May 15, 1860 Special Dispatch to the New-York Times.
