BUtncoaa, June 19, 1800.
It is a bsanUful right toatand near the presi
dent’s desk and take aview of the'Convention
when in session. The theatre Is a very 'commodious
building, add has been arranged with e special ro
ferenoc to the sitting of this body. The aoehery
has beaa.removed, and the parquet floored so ps to
he even with the,stage. The president’s stand ii
raised ebont four feet shove the body of, the hall,
and extends along the rear ofthe stage. The vice
presidents occupy positions at his hide. Beneath
the president le a row of desks devoted to
the’ secretaries : and' the local reporters- of
Biittmore. On the Convention, floor, imme
diately In , ftont, of the secretaries, are
two -rows .- of - tables, stretching serose the
hall, and. designed for the accommodation of the
press people from , other States. The body of the
theatre, ooenpylng about one-third. oi the. stage,
and extending ,to the bsloony balustrades, is occu
pied by the delegates, Kerr York and Pennsylva
nia occupy the flrst seats on the main aisle, and
front etch other. ‘ William Byeriy and - Joshua
Taggart, of Philadelphia, > assistant Se'rgeants-at-
Artns, have their post of duty near their own dele
gation. The Western States are on the western
tide of the hall; ’ the Eastern delegates on the east
ern, slde,wMle the - Southern men are in the ex-.
treine quarter from the president’s ohair, The seats
of the Seceasloniste are still vacant,' and'are clus
tered in the soutbesstern corner. The dress circle
is devoted ’to the ladies, and the second and third
tiors to spectators .who may obtain tiokets of ad
mission.
Nothing so completely illustrates the character
of the Amerioan people! or. rather, I should say,
the combination of characteristics which is girded
by the Amerioan Union, than these National Con-,
ventions. The bearing of eaoh section—the mah
nor of its delegateswheh in the hsll—the styles of
oratory—are all id widely different and distinct as Is
the East-from tfia West, and the North .from the
South.' I ‘ can; compare the National character of
America, to. nothing but a blootof raoeaio. In
opinjons,oustoms, feelings, and prejudices, they an
as .widely dissimilar as the diamond and the ruby;
and yet, eo skilfully did the lapidaries who formed
the’ Constitution’ do their work, that in this very
dissimilarity lias the real strength and beauty of
our national jewel.
You can tell the Western man in the Convention
by hift.bruique manner, his uncouth gestures when
speaking, and iha remarkable plainness of his
English, his devotion,tp tobacco, end bis general
indifferenee.to histoilet, or the ent, of his broad-,
eloth.. Different in every respect is th* proud and,
hasgbtyEouihernor, who treads the ground like
Byroa’* Banhro, who nsec the most extravagant
rhetoric when speaking, who enforce! hi* opinions
in' the haughtiest manner, and who never rsfusesan
Invitation to the bar or Btadensbufg.' From the
Northland particularly New England, Comes the
eool, impaasable, end ingenious Yankee, who, as a,
general thing, keeps hie mouth very Shut, and his
eyes. very open,- and never forget# that Boston is
the hub of the universe, and that there is no num
ber better taken oue of than number one. The
Middle. States have no representative traits.
Soma of three are pf the Western cast, soma of the
Eastern, many of ‘the Southern, and a greataniahy
who.ere only distinguished by a general weakness
in the spin's; aad; like Felix' Featherly, a general
• desire to ba *< Everybody’s Friend.”
Look forth.npon that mutiitade in this crowded
hall.. The hues of eager voices in earnest consulta
tion—the gay and joyous smile that, passes
around the fair circle of beautiful faces—the eager
attention ef the thousand epeotators in the sky
eirclea—spectators from al! sections of the land—
shining lights In theirnatlve towns and villages,
butnothiag more than nebular when eo near the
great planets of the psriy—the asmiclrcle of busy
writers, chronicliag every word that is said and
sketching every scene that oeeure—aad surrounded
by hit vice prcsldente, the tall and imposing form,
of Mr, Cushing, arrayed fa a Wsbstertsn coat of
-bln* eloth and .brass buttons, now wielding Ms
ponderousjmaJlet, how cddromlng the Convention.
In a stately and dignified manner, in a tone that
remthde pne of E. I*. Davenport, tbo actor, and
with'# sse of words of 11 learned length aad than
dering sound.” Over all this a thousand gas jets,
around the balconies and behind the “stage
flies, li.Ii. cash, theta shadows upon the scene,.
aad , the,, painted (senary, which adorns
the' rear of the stage. / How singularly oat
of plaop those theatrical appliances appear in a
great deliberative assembly f aad yet,’on roflootioa,
how singularly appropriate! It is still a theatre,
and stiUastago. and still a drama;-bat anew,
company performs, “ form tow days only.” How
easy we might coil Up a parallel! - Here,’on this
stage of mimlo life, have boon feigned many and
many a time the very emotions, passions, plots, sad
counterplots, which, to-day arc performed with an
awful earnestness. 'Here a spangled Bichard, with
his gilded sceptre, and fijs Jewels of pasta, repulsed
and eobdetnued tb*“ high-reaching Buckingham;”
here Macbeth raved at the apparition of a mur
dered ' friend ; here an Othello, in oohre, waa vie
tiolaedby on lago Jo brown velvet i and hero a
Welsey, in canonicals, lamented the ingratitude
of , kiuge, and delivered that great lessen to polls
tioisn* in tiio speech on his fall, ft we could only
lift the drapery (hat plonks the human heart, how
many Olostcrs, and Buoklnghams, and legos, and
Woleoys/mlght we find in that Company of gentle
men in'broadcloth, who are quietly ’ conversing
together! ’ " ' - '
'■ It is a gnat drama this company is plsyiug, and
a-great “east 11 there .is playing it. There are
stars here in their respective parte; than an
“heavy” man and ”tight” men; there are high
comedians, who do np the rhetorio, and low come
dians,.who attend to the fanny parts; then are
tragic man, who never speak, without dissolving
the Union, and happy fathers, who save it; there
an prompters behind the scene, and a ataga mana
-geronihepneidmt’sohair; there are walking gen-,
tlernea, who move (he adjournments, the yeas and
nays, and other tight business; and, Anally, there
anauxiiiaries, or supernumeraries, who do nothing
hut taka their places on the stage, and follow either
Diehard or Biehmond, as, the. whistle of the Ad
ministration prompter may dictate. Would yon
want a better company ar one bsttcr apportioned ?
I venture th* old Front- »trcet Theatre had never
a hotter on* oh its stage. -■ What shall tbs play be ?
I foarmy aimila most-stop her*. It may end, like
.• tragedy, with political death ; or like a comedy,
with a political marriage ; or it may be, after the
drama Ireloaedhen, thenwill.bea “screaming
farce” at Richmond.

MONDAY’S EVENING SESSION.
The debate last night w&a a hitter and brilliant
one, and displayed unusual talent on all sides,
Seme of the participants will carry sway from the
Convention reputations for good and evil wblofc
yrffl cling io them for years, Montgomery did
; himself Immense credit; for ..the festleM eloquence;
ajsd direct energy with which he defended the pro
position that those w&o sat in the Convention
should abide by Its action. Ho oarrled the whole
auditory with him,,and was frequently swamped
by the unrestrained and unreatrainable enthusiasm
be created. West .of Oonaectlout, Gov. Kino of
Mi«onri,snd Mbbrick of Illinois, made capital
and' manly definitions' of the duties of Democratic
delegates. But you shonld have beard Boring, o<
M^sachbeetts; you shonld haye heard him throatei
that bn resign unless the seoeders were ad
mitted by a grateful Convention, upon whlol
Mhhbiok remarked that he (Loßriro) would bf
only one seeeder mere. It is, lamentable to see r
mail belle hia olimate, his oountry. and its faith, at
he did. He grovelled in the mire before place, and
the very men he sought to propitiate doubt either
hit judgment or his esrnostnees. Amen must bf
truo to himself and his section, before ho can ore
ate a oonfidenoe in othors. Losing belong t<
Mossaohusettß ? Ho, he belongs niuoh
11 Massa ” than to Massachusetts.
King, of Missouri, made a good hit when hr
doubted that the seoeders had roving commission?
in their pookeU; admitting them into and lotting
thorn out of every Convention, and allowing then
to play fast and loose.
An old man namod Hontbb, from tho samr
State, created a good deal of fan by his remarks
He said King took the “ Benton shoot,” and tba*
he (Hontbb) had always voted the Democrats
ticket for forty-four years, save once, wbon h?
voted to Wok Burton out of the United States Se
nate.
THE MASS MEETING*
The Douglas mass meeting oontlnned long ,aflo>
the hoar at which the telegraph oould get anythin;
additional over the wires—the crowd of.messagei
on file being enormous. The numbers are various!}
estimated at from fifteen to thirty thousand people
The speakers addressed the multitude from th<
steps of Bxvffsor Johnson’s house; and.after
awhile a Yaccey meeting was gotten up aroonf
the Qlliqore House, whioh is next to Johnson’s. Thi
curiosity to seo Yancey led some of the stranger
who found out he Btopped at Gilmore’s to call fw
him; his friends used the opportunity to ventilat<
themselves Yancey, In response to calls, decline?
to apeak, but by midnight he was. prevailed on ti
appear* Meanwhile, Judge Mbbk, of Alabama
M. W. CiitrsKEY, Secretary of the National Demo
oratio Committee at Washington, and others, made
ferociously sectional speeches.
A DOUGLAS NOON AT A YANCEY MIDNIGHT,
A good mistake oocurred at the Yancey balcony
There being loud calls of <( Toombs,” “ Toombs,”
Mr. Noons, editor of the Cambria (Fa.) Moun
tdinrer, who was near by, mistook the sound, and
wondering at his sudden and extensive popularity
thought he was called for..« Toombs,” ” Toombs,”
amid the clamor, was “Noons,” “Noons,” to hi'
earl With feelings which ban be imagined bet
ter than they can be described, he modt
bis way to the front of the balcony, and thank
ing his fcUofi’-oltiaens for their l wise iznpor
proceeded to make a strong Dougls?
speech- In vain did the Yancey men atriv<
to interrupt him. _ In vain was he pulled by
the coat-tail, nudged in the ribs, caught by the el
.bow. The people, equally iu the dark as himself*
cheered him, and more than overbalanced tho at
tempts of the Yancey men to cry him down. H<
continued in an emphatic Douglas vein, and thr
whispered importunities of friends and foes around
him to desist, telling him that be was in the wrong
place, oould hot convince him. So he made hi?
speech, feeling that the people knew best.
WM. 1.. YANOET.
After excusing himself and declining to speak ai
0 and 10, Yancey was induced to address the
erowdjnear midnight.' His speech was well phras
ed, bat took the mob by surprise. He did not well
know whet to say; bnt what be did say, he sail
well. 1 The expectation was that he would defim
his position, and give some idea of where ho stood
But be announced himself as neither a Union mas

addressed them was actually Yancey. “Is that
Yancey?” gay one. “H—11, no. Yan^rt goe?
tor disunion. That feller ain’t no sides, nohow,”
answers another.
HEW YORK DELEGATION* *
y, , 1
The New York delegation held a conference
after the adjournment, on U>e aotion to be pursued
touching the amendments of Sanford E. Chubcb,
of New York, and Gii.moeb, of Pennsylvania
Qilmobb was brought into consultation with some
of the New Yorkers, and it was arranged that he
should jrithdraw his amendment, and
should modify his.
BIGLER’S SHADOW.
Gilmore is the substitute of Bigler, and it i>
expected he wilUntroduce the name of Mr. Bu
chanan, for the purpose of reading “the old pub
lio functionary’s” letter declining another nomi
nation. It is'tbe age of hallucination; and, in the
melee of humbuggery, “ some people,” as Susan
Nipper sayS, “ manage to poke their fingers si
somp other people ” The vanity of one man in
power, like Mr. Buchanan, is chiefly dangerous in
tho creation ot toadies to meet the demand for flat
terers. ' Thus the President ip filtered through Big
lrr into Gilmore, and so into the Convention.
CONTESTED SEATS.
Id accordance with the arrangement last night,
Gilmore’s amendment was withdrawn, and
Church’s so modified that the test pledging the
delegates to abide by and support tho aotion of
the Convention U omitted, and tho -Contested
oaset simply referred to the Commlttee'on Creden
tials, when an adjournment took place to 6 P. M.
This is regarded as judicious, although at first
blush the withdrawal of the test gave offence to
some of the moßt ultra Douglas men. His sages*
managers, however, deem it wise, having the
power, to aot magnanimous. His Southern friends
say that now those who doslro to oppose him can
bring no Charge of desiring either to gag or course
the Convention, and that they will have to go for
the nominee.
PROBABILITIES.
A fresh rumor says that if the seoeders will no!
be admitted Cusmxo will leave the chair, and Vir
ginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and a
portion of Pennsylvania, wilt leave'the Convention
I have reason to bolleve that there Is not a word o!
truth in it. It is gotten up to frighten the timid.
FABRICATIONS IN THE HERALD.
The statement in the Herald , that there was a
caucus at Judge Douglas’ house, at Washington/
on last Friday night, and that Governor Riciiabd
son, of Illinois, suggested the secession of the
Northwestern States, is utterly unfounded. Gov.
Richardson was not in Washington on Friday
night, he wac here.
JOHN O. BRECKINRIDGE.
There are some friends'of Mr. Breckinridge
here privately diffusing their advocacy of him as
tba man for the party and the time. The Ken
tuckians, however, claim that his election to the
United States Senate was msde on tho understand
ing that he should be satisfied with that distinc
tion. Peter G. Washington is here, • and
Guthrie’s friends consider him safo in his hands,
should Kentucky have any chance for tbe Presi
dency. I learn that Breckinridge holds himself
ready to make a ratification speech should Dora
lab be nominated.
PIERRE SOULE;
This distinguished gentleman was announced to
speak the mass meeting last night, bnt, his
throat being weak, he reserves himself for the
floor of the Convention. He. is stopping at the
Kutaw House. He says it would be an insult to the
Democratic party to allow the seoeders to come in,
as they are merely on leave of absemee from Rich
mond, and will go baok there if they • are not
suited heie.
HONEY AND MORALS.
Tho antbDouglas feeling In Massachusetts is
simply a matter of cash, and not of country. The
newspapers which keep the cauldron of sedition to
Rational Democracy seething in that State are all
supported) one way or anothor, by Federal pap.
For Instance, the editor of the Boston Past is naval
officer, and abuses Dopalas to the amount of five
thousand per annum* The editors, of several ob.
scare papers are men of letters—that is, post.'
masters. The editor of the Pittfi£eld Sun is
postmaster of that towu at the rate of two
thousand. The editor of the Lawronce
Sentinel takes charge of the post office there for
something over one thousand. The editor of the
Essex County Democrat does.llkewlse for his lo«
oality, being rated at one thousand eight hundred
a year. The editor of the Salens Advocate go ts
two thousand for bis postmastorship. Tho New
Bedford Times Is edited by the naval officer of
that whaling village; the Greenfield Democrat
has its conductor In an eighteen hundred office In
the oustom bouse, and the Jjoior.ll Advertiser baa
two thousand for something or other. Thus the
patriotic fervor of those men is easily accounted for.
They are all ready to accede..
TnE RICHMOND NOMINEE ?
It would seem that the seeedera have given up
the idea of nominating Jefferson Davis. They
now look to E. M. T. Koxtbr, of Virginia, as the
most suitable man, as he is lees open to the charge
of extremism; while he Is really equally so.

cuTTisa the gobdun knot.
The fight of yestorday was suddenly terminated
this morning, at the opening of the session, by
Hr.. Chdboh, of Hew York, withdrawing the latter
part of his amendment, whioh prescribed a test of
illegianee to the South. This was done by uni
aimous consent, &d is regarded as the tendei; of
the olive branch by the Douglas men. It was the
result of a caucus, which was held last night,
*unong tho leaders of both of the conflicting par
ties. it shows that, while the Douglas men aro
drm and sanguine, they are willing to do anything
for harmony. .
BROADSIDES I2f TUB CONVENTION.
The Oonvention is flooded with broadsides in the
shape of printed circulars. One of thorn is as
“address from the Demooraey of Louisiana” in
favor of the Secessionists; the seoond is a small
pamphlet from the Yancey men of Alabama, en
titled an “ address from the Democracy of Ala
bama' to. the Democratic National Convention at
Baltimore.” This allusion tq the lt Democracy of
Alabama” ia considered one of the . finest pieces
of Yancey’s irony. A third is a small doaumdnt
i entitled “ an appeal to tho members of the Con
vention, n signed'by “Jefferson,” whioh is fall of
Italics and capitals, and reads like an editorial in
tbe Constitution. It is a piece of harmless
rhetoric, and was uSefnl to those gentlemen fond
of smoklDg. The most singular document of them
all is one is the shape of a handbill, which reads
as follows:
" Citizen Work op Jackson, Miss —Protest.—lst,
against a Democrat bavins to obtain a Pace, like a
Southern negro, to enter tbe galleries of a so-called Da
mocratio Convention. 3d, lie protests against said Con
vention being, presided over bp Caleb Cubthno, of
tiasiaehuaetts, who has spent a long portion of hie life
in the abuse of Axdbkw Jackson and Democracy,
llarnura's Hotel, Baltimore, Jane 19th, 1860.”
This latter broadside is treated'as a piece of
*pite. v
A GAIN FOB DOBOLAS.
The declination of Hon. Andrew Johnson, of
Tennessee, whose letter of deolension I telegraphed
you yesterday, will canse a gain of three votes for
Hr. Douglas from the Tennessee delegation.
LATER.
Baltimore, Jane 19—11.401VM.
The Committee on Credentials "have been very
busily engaged in considering the various cases of
contesting .delegations.
It is reported that they have decided to admit
tho original delegation from Mississippi.
When the Arkansas case was under considera
tion, a very exciting difficulty occorred. Mr.
Hindman charged that the Convention whioh had
retorted the delegates to whom he was opposed had
been pgeked .by the people of a neighboring State.
Hr. Hopper, editor of the Madison Journal de
nounced this allegation as unqualifiedly false,
whereupon Mr. Hindman slipped Mr. Hooper's
face, and drew a pistol. Further difficulties were
prevented by the interference Of those present.
The committee have deelded to report against
the admission of the sooediog delegates from Texas
and Florida, as they hare obtained no new instruc
tions or authority frem their constituents directing
them to return to the Convention. . 1
Senators Slidbll and Fran, and Secretary Cobb,
are here, busily engaged in political operations.
Another mass meeting of the friends ofDouatAS
was held at Monument Square this evening. The
crowd was large, and their enthusiasm unabated.
