would have driven out the rest of the Massachusetts,
delegation and portions of those OF other States. Ar
kansas too was eased of. Ohio was kept out I'LL near
10 o'clock, but then rather grudgingly let in. The
objection in her was that thirteen delegates were
lectod, though but seven the rghtful numbcrl were

the Mississippi delegation, who were let In by vote

reaching Philadelphia in order to sweeten the admn'
sion which their Pro-Slayery friends were determined
upon but have not yet taken either the first or second
DEGREES. Had Massachusetts sent such delegation
the last trump would sound before their adm ssion
would be granted
The Louisiana case remains undisposed OF, but Is
re,t in order. Alabama occupies a similar position
but her delegation is in under protest or explanation
In those States the Organization has disregarded tho
Protestant test laid down in the Constitution of the
Order. This Constitution expressly declares thai
nobody shall be a member Of The party rho IS nos
Protestant. Another provision expressly states
chief object of its formation TO be the couneracton OF
the influence of the Catholic Church. Yet in tho two
States named the State Councils have "spit upon"
and crushed out these provisions. In Louisiana
great proportion of the Organization Is Catholics
and one Of the abest of the able delegates from that
State TO this National Council il himself sthoIc
and openly avows it. There will be an earnest effort
to admit them, nevertheless; and though the Com
mittee ON Credentials has unanimously reported
against it, it is possible the vote this afternoon will
carry it, The ultra-Slavery interest, headed by Neil
q. Brown of Tennessee, demands their admission
because they are sound" on the great questions
of nationality" that affect the interests of the South.
The vote Of admission is substantially vote Of disso-
luton for il uproots the fundamental doctrine Of the
Organization After that the Northern members may
go or stay, without let or hinderance and who shall
blame theml This vote if given in the case Of
Louisiana, or practically the Same, by the continued
retention Of the Alabama delegation, will strip the
mask from the Order, and exhibit it TO the world %
only another continuance to help the OF slavery
against freedom. Whatever its name whateverin
pretended objects, the real purposes of those who con-
troll its machinery and direct its ends, 10 make
an efficient ally of slavery, they call it here 10
Save the Union.
As vet the Council has not numbered moro than 10
members, and the vacancies are mostly from the
North and West Two-thirds OF the whole are the
merest nobodes in character, position and talents

faithful representatives. Connecticut and Rhode Island
are altogether belied in their representations Dough

Among the late arrivals are George NJ Sanders
the leader Of the interests of George Law; Hammond
Of The AJany Register; james Brooks of The Wy
Express; and Mr.. Sheart of TIE Mirror. NewYoh
too furnishes two candidates for the Cerksbp of The
next House Of Representatives, here laying pipe fa
December next. Their names are Bryce and RuggIes.
George Laws runners numerous. The story goo
that he oubds Com. Stockton's standing offor Of
10000 for tie Presidency by $50, 900. The Ulmam

Of Law, and Law is fatal to Mr.. ullmanns Interior

The Council seems in DO hurry to get through, and
may last into next week unless there opea
breach when the construction Of the platform opens.
