The debate upon the platform to-day was not
conducted with as much ability as had been gene
rally anticipated, and as the number of talented
men in the Oonyentlon led those present to expect
But a better spirit was manifested than was sup
posed possible in view of the great excitement pre
vailing, and the wide diversity of opinion which .
exists among the delegates.
In the speeches Of Avner of North Carolina, and
YAMS; of Alabama, in support of the slave-code
polley„no new arguments were advanced, and their
remarks consisted chiefly of a rehash of the old
charges of encroachment upon the rights of the
South, and a want of fidelity on the part of the
Northern Democracy to Southern interests.
Mr. Darner oontanded that even the platform
reported by the majority of the committee fell far
short of what` he South ehould in justice demand
and obtain ; and while he was willing to swept that
report as a compromise, he avowed his preference
for a dissolution of the Union to any further abate
ment of what he considered the just rights of his
section of the Unien.
He was evidently put forward as the leading
champion of the fire-eaters, and as the best repre
sentative man they could select to advocate their
sentiments, but his speech was not in any respect
equal to the eloquent effort of. Governor Kyle, of
Missouri, in support of the minority report. The
able defence by the latter of the Northern De
moorsey, and of the doctrine of popular sov
ereignty, excited tremendous applause. Lomax
made no attempt to reply to Kum, although he
apparently rose for that purpose. His speech had
evidently been carefully prepared, and his extreme
positions astonished almoet every one present.
In his allusions to Popular Sovereignty he ridi
culed it, and asserted that the South would never
submit to the application of such a doctrine to
the Territories. He contended that in the
North this subject could have no deep
terest, as to her people it was a mere,, ';ib
streotioa, for they had no' property upon which
it would injuriously operate, while the South had
everything at stake, and for her the whole queer
tion was invested with ineeleulsble importance.
Ile, therefore, asked the Northern Demooralq to
yield the slave cede for the protection of a cherish
ed right of the South, as well as to fully satisfy
their Southern brethren of their unswerving dove
bon to their just rights. •
When Senator Puna, of Ohio, in reply to Mr.
Yamosr, read the resolutions adopted by the Ala
bama Democracy in 1866, endorsing Popular So•
vereignty, (which were written by Yaxonv,) the
vast assembly present was convulsed with laugh
ter.
The whole debate was listened to by a crowded
gallery.
Great indignation was created in the Pennsyl
vania delegation today by the extensive circu
lation of Senator BAYARD'S resolution in print,
under the heading of Pennsylvania Proposition."
It is said that this is a scheme of Senators liftman
and• SLIDELL to create the false impression that
Pennsylvania desired each a platform..
7tiireuiposel, that the object of Sartain, of
Massachusetts, in refusing to sign the regular
minority report which was pre anted to•dsy, ' and
In making an independent report, signed only by
himself, was to damage Doi:rinse, by indicating
that ,the opponlipts of the majority report were
divided in their policy; but it bad the opposite
effect, as It showed the South that the Douglas
men were willing to concede more for the sake of
harmony than the Cushing interest, with which
Burma *sited.
It is now generally believed to be the intention
of the Alabama delegation to withdraw from the
Convention, in obedienee to their instructions, if
the minority report of the platform emoraitteels
adopted, and that the delegates, from Mississippi,
Texas, and Louisiana have promised the Alabama
delegation to withdraw with them. There are
rumors current, too, that if this done, Florida,
Georgia, and South Carolina are also expected to
weeds, and that these eeoeders will proceed to form
another Convention, which will nominate Hon. U.
M. T. Ennuis, of Virginia, for Preeident, and
Hon.. - Javransos Davie,' of Mississippi, for Via.
President, or the latter for President and the
former for Vice Preeldent.
Thee., who advocate this seclusion movement
contend that in any event the Democratic party
will fail to secure a majority of the electoral votes
of the Union for their Presidential candidate, and
that the only hope of the South is to throw the
election into the House of Representatives, where
she will have a majority of States, (inoluding
female and Oregon.)
They assert that if such a secession takes place
Denman eould not obtain the electoral vote of any
State whose delegates withdraw, and that tbey
have been induced to believe, by the - represents
dons of the office-holders here from Pennsylvania
sod other Northern States, that he cannot carry
them in consequence of their resolute and deter
mined opposition.
If Donates ie nominated, it le eupposed, from
present appearances, there will be a perfect combi
nation between the officeholders and the extremists
of the South before they leave Charleston to effect
his defeat.

ORMILEISTON April 27.—The Convention met at
the institute a t o'olook this morning.
Mr. King, of Missouri, presented a eeriest of re
solutions, favoring the admission of the delegates
from Kansas, who 'claim seats on the group d that
that Territory will be admitted into the Union be
fore the time of the eleOtion. They were referred
to the Committee on a National Committee.
The announeement was made at half past ;ten
o'clock that the Committee on'the Platform would
not be ready to report for an hour, and proposing
a temporary recess or promenade for that time.
Adopted. • •‘
The floor being crowded with ladles, as well as
the west galleries, there is a chatter of tongues
and peel after peal of merry laughter going on,
that is in strong antagonism to the suspended ex
citement of the Convention.
. During the recess printed copies of the majority
and minority platform reports were Scattered over
the Convention,
One of the minority reports is signed by B. F.
Butler, of Massachusetts, on behalf of a minority,
,which merely reaffirms the Cincinnati platform,
declares the Democratic principles unchangeable
in their nature when applied to the same subject
matter, and only recommends, in addition to the
Cincinnati platform, a resolution for the protection,
by the Government, of all its citisene, whether na
tive or naturalised. '
The principal minority report, however, is signed,
by A. M. Roberts, of Maine; Wm. seven, of Now
Hampshire • B. M. Brown, of Vermont; 0. B.
Bradley, oeßhode Island ; A. G. Hazard, of Con
neotiout; Benj. Williamson, of New Jersey ; H. B.
Payne, of Ohio; P. 0 Dunning, of Indiana; O. B.
Pioklin, of Illinois; G. A. N. Lathrop, of Miohigan ;
A. B. Palmer, of Wisoonsin ; B. M. Samuels, of
Iowa; J. M. Cavanagh, of Minnesota; Ed. Cros
well, of New York; If. B. Wright, of Pennsyl
vania.
The points of this report are as follows:
1. They affirm the Cincinnati platform.
2. Resolved, That all rights of property are
Judicial in oharaoter, and the Democracy pledges
itself to carry out ail the decisions of the Supreme
Court on each a subject.
3. Resolved, That ample protection , should be
afforded to eittsens, whether native or naturalised,
at home or abroad.
4. Resolved, That we pledge the governmental
aid In building the Pacific Railroad.
5. Resolved, That we favor the acquisition of
Cuba, on terms honorable, to ourselves and just to
Spain.
6. Resolved, That all State • resistance to the
fugitive. slave law is revolutionary and subver
sive of the Constitution.
The majority report is as follows :
Resolved, That the platform adopted at Cin
cinnati be affirmed, with' the following additional
resolutione : That the National Democracy of the
United Obit's hold these 'ordinal principles on the
subject of slavery, in the Territories: .Ist. That
Congress has no power to abolish slavery in the
Territories. 2d. That the Territorial Legislature
has no power to abolish slavery in the. Territories,
nor the introduction of slaves therein ; nor any
power to destroy by any legislation whatever.
Resolved, That It le the duty of the Federal
Government to protect, when necessary, the rights
of persons or property on the high seas, in the Ter
ritories, or wherever else its constitutional judo
diction extends. •
At half past eleven o'clock the Convention real
sembled.
The majority report ',agreed by Mr. W.V. Avery'
of North Caroline', who said he was Instructed to say
that entire unanimity did not prevail on a portion
of the resolutions, The first and third, in relation
to slavery in the Territories, and the duties of the
General Government to protect the rights of person
and property; ate adopted by a large majority of
the committee. The second resolution, in relation
to the fugitivrralave law, and the fourth, in rela-
Hon to natura li zed citizens, were adopted unani
mously. And the fifth, relative to the acquisition of
Cuba, was adopted without division.
• The two minority reports were then presented by
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts , and Mr. Payne, of
Ohio; the latter stating that hie report, although
a minority, represented one hundred and
seventy-two electoral votes, whilst the majority
only represented one hundred and twenty-seven
electoral vote,.
Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, inquired how many
of the electoral votes represented by the minority
report can be depended upon for the Democratic
nominee. (Laughter and applause.) • -
Mr. Payne could not say, nor could be speak for
Maryland, which goes with the majority. Mr.
Payne offered his.platform as a substitute far the
whole, and a Massachusetts delegate propelled
another set-
All the reports being presented, Mr. Avery ad
dressedi the Convention, claiming that. he repro
'rented the seventeen Democratic States of the
Union. Although the report was signed by the
delegates from fifteen slave States, and only two
free States, he denied that any feeling of seetterial
ism has'influeresed the majority.
Mr. Clark, of.filissouri, stated that, although be
signed the majority 'report, he did not and would
not vote for:the third reeolittion; which is . e a tol
'
lows :
ROSONed, That it is the duty of the F ed eraler
Government to protect, when necessary, the rights
of persona and property on the high seas in Terri
tories, or wherever else its authority
extends."
Mr. Avery called attention to the fact that the
majority report represents one hundred and twenty
seven certain Democratic electoral votes, whilst
the minority do not represent one electoral Meta
that can be claimed as certain. He regarded equat
ter sovereignty as subversive of the rights of the
South as Congressional interventtoa would be. He
classed It with the Wilmot proviso, and as being
equally as subversive'of Southern rights
Mr. Avery alluded to the fact that Mexico and
'Cabs would inevitably, with Central America,
form a part of the Union. and with the popular-so
vereignty doctrine as proclaimed in the minority
report, no elaveholder would dare enter any of this
new territory with his slaves. It was said that
Northern men did not like to be thrown into ease
elation with slareholders and he appealed to the
gentlemen to correct th at , ' error to prove to the
South that the Demooratio party of the North en
tertain no such sentiments. There is a distrust
among the masses of the people to their Northern
allies. We sympathise with you when you:are
called dough-faces at the North, and wo ask yoo to
give us the evidence that our sympathy is well
placed.
Mr. Payne, of Ohio, addressed the 'Converition
on behalf of the minority. He did not desire any
personal victory, but those he represented be
lieved that on the harmonious settlement of these
difficulties depend the Waterloo of the Demo
cratic party and the prosperity and perpetuity of
the Union. The Democracy of the North have
stood by the South in good faith. There never
bed been but one tonatruction put upon the
slavery clauses of the Cincinnati platform and
he challenged any man to show that it had ' ever
been differently construed, even on the doors of
Congress.
Mr. Payne read to the Convention the opinion of
Secretary Toqooy and Vice President Breokin
ridge spinet any measure to legislate slavery into
the Territories, and that the people of eaoh Terri
tory Shall settle the spatter for themsehres, ritid bet
admitted into the Union, with or without slavery,
as they may determine ; and he could show thet
every distinguished Southern statesman since 1800
has planted himself on the squatter-sovereignty
platform of non-intervention by Congress. He
*toted also from the opinions of Senators Hunter,
Toombs, and Mason, and other Southern Demo
cratic state men, maintaining the same ground of
non-intervention. He oonoluded by eayipg we
cannot recede from thiedoctrine without personal
dishonor, and so help oe God ! we never will aban
don this principle! [Sensation.' If the majority
report is adopted, you cannot expect one Northern
electoral vote or one sympathizing member of Con
gress from the free States.
Mr. Payne's concluding appeal to the South was
very powerful, and was listened to with great at
tention. fie urged them not to destroy the Demo
cratic party for a mere abstraction.
The f IIOX. JOHN-COOEIRANIe9
ollowing resolution of Mr. John Cochrane,
of New York, (which he proposes to offer as a sub
stitute for all the other prey:milieus, in addition to
the Oinoiuneti platform,) has just beta circulated :
Resolved, That the several States of the Union
ire, under the Constitution, equal, and that the
people thereof are entitled to the free and undis
turbed possession and enjoyment of their rights of
person and property In the common Territories,
and that any attempt, by Congress or a Territorial
Lealsiature, to annul, abridge, ' discriminate
against any Snot' equality or righte would bend=
wise in policy and , repugnant tp the ConstitutbM;
and that ills the duty of tbp fulioral Hnvernment,
whenever such rights are vieteted, to afford the
necessity, i:roper, and oenstitntionaVremedlee for
such vSlatione.]
Mr. Butler, of Massachneette, who reported the
Cincinnati p latform, pure and simple, addressed
the Convention, in v iew of that clause relative to
the protection of slave property on the seas. He
cautioned them that it would be regarded by their
opponents as an attempt to reopen the slave trade.
Mr. Butler, in alluding to the" remark of Mr.
Johnson, of Maryland, with regard to the non-
Democratic Stated, said it was like the kettle call
ing the pot black.
Mr. Johnson replied that Maryland had never
countenanced nor encouraged resistance to the
fugitive.slave law, and malotainera natiopal pogo
den in the Unioil. '
Mr. Butler would say that Massachusetts had
never boon under a rule that prevented a man
from voting bin sentiments, without fear of the
bludgeon or the bullet. (Loud and prolonged ap
plause 1
Mr. Johnson wished to reply, but
Mr. Butler would not yield thefloor to him. Es
would add, however, that he did not blame the
Democratio party in Maryland for this condition of
affairs. Me knew that they dld all they Mid
to resist it. Mr. Batter oonoluded with an appeal
to the Convention to 4, /et well enough alone."
On motion the Convention adjourned till four

Senator Bayard, of Delaware, presented another

sMiald vote for the minority report as a substitute.

jority platform as Janus-faced and contradictory.
no far as Missouri is concerned, they can carry the
platform even if it should be clogged with the
deadly sting, as they always go it blind for the
Demooratio nominee. But he could plainly see
that his border neighbors would be destroyed by its
vonotrii '
Gov. King alluded, in the course of his argu
ment, to “Alre distinguished statesman of Illinois,"
and each time was greeted with deafening ap
plause. The 'Northern Democracy, he said, has
been strieken down because it stood by the South,
and now they have the taunt thrown at them that
they can't promise their electoral vete to the
nominee with any certainty. This majority plat
form would nominate Seward, and would make him
the President. If a few Southern States aban
doned this Convention, its nominee will gain State
for State from the North. He would regret It if
they should leave, but they must stand by the ship
to the last. The DemoCrats will feel that they are
whipped before the battle if you force this majority
platform upon them.
SPBROIIO7 AM. 7dNbBT , OPALABANA
Mr. Yancey,' of Alabama, took the floor amid
immense appbanse and cheering. Be proceeded to
reply to Goy. King, styling his speech as remark
able and unnatural, as coming from a Southern
man.
Mr. Yanceypronounced the Charge, that there
were any dieuttionists or disruptioniste In the Ala
bama delegation, labs. lie epoke for nearly two
boars. His extreme dootrines were applauded
very weakly, even in the galleries. Hewes severe
on Douglas in connection with Kansas affairs. The
acts of the North had made many persons at the
South believe that the South and her institutions
are no longer safe within the limits of the Union.
lie denied that Alabama had attempted to dictate
to this Convention. The instructions to her dale
gatat were merely for their guidance, and if it had
not been for the omnipotent tleding.out press, no
one but her delegates would haVe known of their
existsnoe.
Mr. •k anoeleti speech was most eloquent and
powerful. He contended that the 1./moored°
party must accept defeat with cheerfulness on a
principle, rather than seek mows with its viola
tion—looking to the sober second thought of the
people for anstlibation and restoration, Ifs con
cluded by urging the Southern delegates to be true
to their constitutional duty, and not to lend them
selves to a palpable wrong to obtain a party via
tory. If they allow themselves to be thus made
tools of, they should be hung on a politloat gallows
higher than ever was built for Haman. [Great
cheering.]
SPEECH OP SENATOR PEOR,OP OHIO
Hon. George E. Pugh, of Ohio, then took the
floor to reply to Mr. Yancey, at half past seven
o'clock.
Mr. Pugh was glad to hear one Southern man
speak out plainly and boldly, and tell us what he
really does want. Ho read the resolutions adopted
by the Alabama Demoaratio Convention four years
ago, and reported by Mr. Yancey himself, which
were decidedly in favor of non-intervention, and at
the same time instructed them to leave the Cin
cinnati Convention if that doctrine was not
acceded to. Alabama did nrl then ask for what
she now asks. Nor did the gentleman from Ala
bama demand what he now demands. Mr. Pugh
then proceeded to reply to Mr. Yancey's arguments.
his remarks were of the most loathing character,
such as were never before heard in Charleston on
that side of the subject. Bold, fearless. and pow
erful, be continued for an hour to combat the views
of the Alabamian, and, at eight o'clock, gave way
for a recess of one hour.
NIGUIT AVASION
The Convention reesaembled at 9 o'olook
An attempt was made to fix the time for closing
the debate on the platform, but it was unsuccessful.
Mr. Pugh resumed his speech, going into an ar
gument to prove the constitutionality of squatter
sovereignty. Re quoted from a alumni' of senator
Hunter on the Kansas bill to sustain the 'views
which he and his friends now entertained. He
reviewed Mr. Yanoey's speech with great force
and eloquence and concluded at 3.0* o'clock, hav
ing addresse d Convention for more than two
hours.
Pugh concluded his remarks by saying to
the South that the party wanted no mutiny on
boardAthe ship ; but if the t3outh choose to go
out of it, they will repent their departure--
if part Mir must.
Mr. Coahrane, of New York, then took the floor
and proposed bis resolution (as inserted in the
morning proceedings) as a substitute for the ma
jority report. It was declared oat of order.
THY PERVIOUS QUESTION HMCO
Mr. Bishop, of Connecticut, moved the previous
question on the platform.
This motion caused a tremendous uproar and ex
citement. •
A dozen members sprung to the floor in the
moment, shouting at the top of their voices.
The Southern members demanded that the Con
vention should now adjourn, and a vote be talon en
the platform at noon to-morrow.
A vote by States was demanded on the motion to
adjourn.
During the call of the roll, the noise and confu
sion was unprecedented.
The motion to adjourn was earned—yeas 1681;

The Convention than adjourned.

with feel nge of this kind, and with no desire to advance

matins exeitementa and difficulties that prevailed
throughout the Confederacy. and no man could deafen

all over the Union, that they should calmly cousider and

the shores of the Atlentio to the gelden coast of the

Mr. BIGLER, of Pennsylvania, said he was as
anxious to despatch the business of the Convention as
any other member. He presumed there was no dela-
tuition in the Convention more anxious to proceed
with that hutment than those who represent the
State of Pennsylvania. But he was glad to see that
the original resolution hest not prevailed. The pro
position now under consideration would empty the

fitteen-minutes rule to all discusions except onthe plat
form, was adopted almost unasimously.
Mr. baM MONS, of South Carolina, offered the
following resolution:
Resolved, That such part of the south galle
ball as may be necessary for the alternates tui reserved,
and that the remainder of the galleries be open for the
publics accommodation.
Mr. SIMONS. According to the present arningauectir
the committee give oat but a very few tickets of ndmis

by the great masters of the law that portico is equality ;
and he was in favor of putting all on the same footing.
He bet brad that aficeedins to the genius of our Govern
ment, all deliberations of public political bodies should
be held with open doors, and unless they were engaged
in executive or administrative functions, there was no
occasion to exclude the me and the oritirmonof the pub

was seldom that so far South an opportunity had been
afforded to the people to witness such it gathering as
this; and he was desirous that toe people of the South
shall on this occasion see who the heads of the people
are. He would like all, in Ibis great metropolis; of the

Mr. VALLANDIGHAM, of Ohio, whined to correct a
statement of facts made by the gentleman from, South
Carolina, unintentionally, no doubt, and by mistake.
, The Committee of Arrange meet* had issued *me seven
hundred gallery tickets. They had distributed one to
each de abate, in order to secure en equal distribution.
If the galleries were thrown open to all, they who had
come one, two, or three thousand mikes. might be ex
cluded from witnessing theproceedings of the Conven
tion. The committee, in order that each State might be
represented in the galleries as well as on the floor, had
issued gallery tickets to the chairman of each delete
tion,_ equal to the number of reenteentation to which
the State wag entitled. Preference, of course, woold be
given by the delegate receiving the ticket to in della
of•the Slate he represented.
But some States were not represented by alternates or
outsiders, and, in those oases, the gallery tickets had
been distributed amongst the citiseneof Churl-ston, or
visitors from other States Betides this. some 100 extra
tickets had been issued—enough. certainty, to entirely
fill the galleries—no tickets having been issued for the

THE Gas 13mr.s.—A short time since our
Council passed a reeolution requesting the Com
mittee on Gas Works to inquire and report whether
the manufacture of gas from any materials other
than those now in use at the Philadelphia Gas
Works, is practicable, and if so, whether snoh gas
can be manufactured at less 'coat, being of equal
quality with that now in use. The committee was
also instructed to inquire why the bills of con
sumers have been of late so largely Increased.
After a thorough examination, the committee have
made a report, in which they state that the amount
of gas used has not increased as much as the
number of lights in use ; and a similar result is
exhibited by comparing the whole quantity of gas
sold in the year, with the whole number of lights
in use at the beginning of the year. For example,
the number of lights repotted to Council, as In use
in January, 3553, was 300,406, and the cubic feet
of gas sold in that year was 415,888,950, being
1,384 feet to each light. The lights reported in
use in January 1859, were 378,472. and the cable
feet of gas sold in that year was 494,128,345, being
1,305 feet to each light, or 55 per cent. less than be
fore. The table of annual reports to Councils
shows the average amount of gas used per light to
be less in 1859 than in any other of the eighteen
years elapsed since the city has owned the gas
works, exempt 1857 and 1858, when the eunstunp-
Con was so much reduced by the Suspension of
business. In the late district of Southwark the
gas.billa have been higher, which is accounted for
by the removal of the elation meter formerly used
in registering the amount of gas tarnished to the
Moyamensing and Southwark Gas Company,, and
the more perfect connections made with the mains
in the city proper. The residents of that portion
of the city, however, were very poorly supplied
under the old arrangement, there being a defi
ciency of light, but now the increased brilliancy
of the light they enjoy is a fell equivalent for the
trifling additional cost they - have to pay.
DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN TUE FIRST WARD•
—Last.evening, a meeting of the Democratic citizens of
the First ward was held in frost of the Jackson Hotel,
Christian Street, above Seventeenth. Stephen Benton
Fee. member of Select Connell from the First ward,
presided, and, upon the opening of the meeting, made a
short and appropriate address. urging upon the voters
the importance of giving a hearty support to the court
sees upon the city and ward tickets.
Mr. John Campbell was introduced, who referred to
the course of the Black Republican party in Massa
chnsette, who had added two years to the namraliza
min laws. The same party but the same ob j ects here,
and always legislated unfriendly to the naturalized citi
zens. The Bleak Itepuehoan Legislature of New York,
too, had named a law that 'melees should have the
same political Dells as wMete Ingle reMilens. He
denounced the last New fork Legislature as the
most corrupt and infamous that over met within
legislative halls In this country. The opposition to the
Denweratio party was a combination of all the fax-ends
and isms of every party, tut,lly destitute of principle,
though tie would say that there are many men in it who
wore men of principle. In the present campaign, the
opposition said they would sot hung. nationel issues into
the centeet, but when they found that Reboots and

Important Branch of onr Mann facto res.
In no one branch of productive industry is Phila.
delphia snore celebrated than in her manufactires of
Bedding and Bedding Materials. In a recent visit to
one of our leading homes inithis department—that of
Messrs. Noblit, Brown di No alit, Nos 218 and ecuth
Second street, below Dock street—We were especially
iapressed with the feet here larded. Before proceeding,
however, to notice the t pliKkthiies of thta establishment.
we may State that it embraces a. range °fall the artieles
denominated under the beads of Cabinet-matera' and
Undertaken' Findings, Upholsterers' Materials, Car
.rdriclings. Cabinet Hardware, Bedding Materials, Car
pets, and (hi Cloths. This boas° has had an existence
of twelve years, and at the present time enioye a repu
tation, in several of its departments. second to no other
house in this country. Al a natural consequence, it is
now receiving, and has for some time past, more orders
to tarnish steamboats, hotels, churches, and other
public edifices, than any similar establishment here
or elsewhere. ,Being their own importers and manu
facturers, and operating as they do on the largest Beale,
they of course possess much greater advantagea for un
dertaking large orders than bass extensive operators.
Our splendid neer hotel," The Coatipental," had all
its hair mettreasea. bolsters and pillows, fancy hair
seating. and part of the plashes and brocatelles, furnish
ed by this horse, and they are now filling several large
orders for hotela 'nether citiee la the Union. Their pre
eminence in the Pplioistery department has, in fact._
secured for them a prestige which less perfect fie:hues.
could not insure. 'The fact that for several) ears past
they have flimished nearly all the steamers built at this
port, is the best proof of what wo have here stated; and
what is to us, as nhiradelphiews, of still more signifi
cance, is that the preference of several of the most im
portant New York line& of steamers has also been given
to this Philadalpitia concern. lining anions the largest
manufacaurera of Hair Seating and Curled Hair in the

Notwithstanding that a very large proportion of their

intimated, it may be stated, nevertheless. that their
Private order, from our own cinemas would in them

no extravagant estimate to say that at the present time
they are making up more of their men celebrated spring
