A Washington correspondent of the New York Daily Advertiser, under date of May 8, says: Several of the members of the Young Men's Convention waited on the President yesterday, with a friend. The President's curiosity led him to enquire how so many young men from the same State happened to be in the city at the same time? The answer was, they came to consult about the Presidential election, with other young men from other States. The President supposing they met to advance his election, treated them with marked attention. When his inquiry was answered, he said he was so busy that he did not pretend to read the newspapers much, and that he only looked into them to see what was the progress of the Cholera.
