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.
