rb. meeting was then adjourned to the

The meeting was then adjourned to the
Common. H..
I should say that the hall contained about
twelve hundred people, and it is calculated 10
hold at least two thousand. 1t was MOI by
anv means crowded and the galleries did not
contain a third that they could hold.
The President was conducted to the stand
nv D. w. Alvord of Greenfield, and MIR.
Hipoinson of Lowell. The proceedings were
one1ed with a prayer by Rev. Mr.. Smith of
this civ Mr. Hoar then made a long speech
expressing the views of the opponents Of Gen.
Taylor
/ should have stated that Mr.. Reyes, in his
speech at the hall, stated that the motto of the
sgners to the call for this meeting was era
te,nity," and that they expected to bring to
their standard every body who was opposed
to slavery and its extension.
Previous, too, to going to the hall, Mr.. am am
asa Walker, who has long been an act'e aOor
litionist, and who was, believe, menoer Vi
last wears Loco Foco Convention, MADE Il
speech from the balcony of the American
Tomnor,nce House, in which he congratulated
the pcrsons assembled on their great number,
and ,;Lcnrd them to the men who erected bar
~;ooJcs in Paris and dethroned Lonis Philip
A committee was appointed to draft resou-
t;ons Immediately after MIR. Hoar concluded.
Soon after, resolution was offered comph-
,nentary to Messrs. Wilson and Allen Judge
Allen came forward and made short speech.
Mr.. Sumner then read a letter from Mr. Pal-
frcy, which was received rather coldly. Mr..
Wilson then appeared and repeated the same
story he has told in private and public since
he started for Philadelphia, saying the same
things he said before the Convention mctand
Misunderstanding the same things he predicted
after the Philadelphia Convention made Its
nomination.
Mr.. Paine, Of Rhode Island, made very
good speech. A MIR. Woodman Of Maine, al
so made a speech, and so, also, did Amasa
Walker.
Mr.. Lot Poole denounced the Boston news
papers. lie was dreadfully severe on the Bos-
ton Advertiser and the Boston Atlas, but he
entirely cxterminated the Boston Courier. In
the first place, he had stopped his subscription
in the second place, he had never given it his
hearty support, ercept in so far as Its editor
had concurrcd in his views.
Next came Mr.. Joshua Lcayitt, editor OF
the Emancipation, who made speech abusive
Of the Wings and Democrats. lie complained
that no Liberty man was admitted IN the or
ganizatiou.
There has been considerable complaint,
here, by the by, that as this was convention
of "Eraicrnify," no Liberty man was put on
the list of officers. Much threat WIS made
this morning of boiling, and considerable tao
ties have been used TO prevent an outbreak
Every thing is not so cordial and unanimous
as the managers would have the world sup
nose. Toconciate the diSailcctcd, Mr.. Leav
1T was added to the committee to draft reso-
lutions and then the Convention adjourned
for dinncr-to meet opposite the American
Temperance House, and march in procession
&c the grove, where there was expected to be
much more shade.
This is the smallest Convention | ever at
tended, and half the persons present do not
appear to be interested, except as spectators,
The getters up Of it. if may use such an ex-
preston, are enthusiastic, and predict that
they will do wonders. Mr.. Wilson tells me
that the nominee of the Buffalo Convention
will carry the State of Massachusetts,, and
that Gen. Taylsr cannot even get majority
in Boston.
This Convention will not nominate a new
candidate for President but II will probably
90 for a Convention to be held at Buffalo,
and its officers will 90 for that nominee.
The Convention has adjourned to meet a.
gain in half an hour. d. H. h.
\ telcgraphir despatch from our cores
rondent received last evening says" he
Convention adjourned TO meet in the City
Hall. and after few speeches dissolved. i
