The place Of The meeting is central and plea
,ant-in the Park, directly opposite the Court
House, beneath a spacious Tent, capable Of ac-
cOmmodating 5000 persons. Two sessions have
been held during the day, and while / write, the
third is in full blast. cannot tell you with pre-
cision how many Delegates arc il attendance,
bn have heard ii estimated at thousand. Be
This as it may, the Great Tent has been throngcd
during the day with an eagerly attentive anditory
listening to the able and eloquent debates which
have, during the day, constituted the greater part
or the business of the Convention. Among the
sneakers. recognised AIvAN STEWART, Esq,
Rev. CHARLES r. IoRREY, Rev. II II. GARRETT,
"a full.boodcsl black, but certainly ono OF the
ablest speakers havc ever listened to- Rev. Mr..
Neyly President Of Athens College, Ohio, and
others. STEPHEN S. FOSTER and ABBY KELLEY,
though non.reslstants and Of course opposed 10
ali voting, asked the privilege OF addressing tho
Convention, which was given them, and To do
Foster Justice, his remarks betrayed moro good
sense than he has been generally given credit for

10 produce very good impression, though SAY
that several gentlemen present whom she attacked
yery vigorously, either from g;ti!an;ry or some
other reason, did not deem 1t expedient To make
any reply.
A large amount Of talent, as well az zeal. is
undoubtedly embodied in the Convention, and The
various speeches to which have listened to-day
would certainly suffer nothing III comparison
with the speeches of any Mass or Delegate Con
rcniion | have ever attended, and this is saying
q GOOD deal Cor one who was often listener at
the mutitudinous gatherings Of 1910 when the
Why's made their mighty rally under the potent
cr$ Of "Harrison and Reform =; You may put
