cral days past tha lhlrty States OF this Union
have been pouring large portions Of their inhab.
iiants upon us. as their mountain rivulels and
the rivers of the valleys pour their streams into
ihe boundess sea. They come, too. with high
hopes and intense energy, TO commence aud
prosecute the contest for principles which they
identify with the prosperity Of the Union.
Az an early hour This morning the Chinese
Museum, in the upper saloon of which the Con.
vention is held, was the point Of attraction. and
no sooner were the doors opened than its gale.
ries, which are capable Of accommodating three
thousand persons, were densely filled, aud thou
sands on thousands were congregaled in the
streets unable to gain admission.
The floor Of the large room was set apart for
the members of the Convention and the report.
ers for the press, for whose accommodation ad.
mirable arrangements we're made by the com.
miuee appointed for that purpose.

leries is, however, productive of so much con.
fusion as TO give promise of much nconve.
nience to the Convention in the transaction of
its business.
