The building will be of gigantic proportions, meek/ring 628 feet in eircumference and 200 feet in diame ter, and planned to afford arepleroom for . 15,000 people. Externally there will be little to attract, the eye.—The national colors displayed in prelusion from numerous staffs rising around the roof will be the only ornament, visible. The immense size of the structure and its perfect proportions in every detail will, however, exeite -universal amazement. E .ln'''lSet it will be tt mutter of-just surprise that, the arrangements for the accommodatiem of the countless tb rots of the peo ple who will attend the forth-coming convention should have been'reade so adequate and satisfactory. At the same time the Democratic people of 'Chicago, by *hese liberality thiti mammoth structure is to be erected, will have the pride arid pleasure, of knowing that this undertaking rivals by far anything of' tbe kind ever be fore attempted. The inclosure of the amphitheater will,hee twenty-two feet high. The roof at RS highest or eentral point will be elevated thirty-seven feet, a have the ground.
