That German Convention.

The German Convention, about which there has been some unnecessary fume, in view of the fact that it was to be held at the same time and place with the National Republican Convention, met in a quiet room yesterday morning, and after a short consultation voted that there was no business before the meeting and adjourned. It was attended by less than a dozen persons, and these were quite agreed that the Massachusetts Amendment (concerning which the convention was first mooted) was a defunct issue so far as the Republican party is concerned.
