pondent of the New York Herald, writing from
Cincinnati on the Goth inst, says:
Within a fortnight the sessions of the Democrat
ic National Convention are to be commenced in
this city. The history of the Cincinnati Conven
tioE will probably fill an important chapter in the
annals of our country. Theha wherein this con-
vention is to be held, is Smith & Nixon's Concert
Hail. situated on the north side of Fourth street,
between Main and Walnut Streets a place very
convenient from all the hotels, being in the heart
of the business portion of the city, and near the
Post Office and the telegraph offices.
The difficulty with the hall is that it will not
hold comfortably or uncomfortably more than six
teen hundred persons The main portion of the
hall seats about one thousand persons. and here
will be Systematically and centrally arranged seats
for the delegates, leaving lobby capable of ac-
commodating a crowd of three or four hundred
outsiders The gallery will hold. perhaps, six
hundred This very handsomely overlooks the
stage which, with its little green and blue rooms,
will barely suffice to hold the officers of the meet
ing and the reporters. The arrangement for the
benefit of the newspapers will be very complete.
