RUW -DE-DOW.
The Convention of lunatics did not 90 home
yesterday afternoon as we had anticipated. Tho
fact was, that after passing set of resolutions
twice over they got into snarl, and remained to
pass them third time in order to make all sure.
Mr.. Watkins, q colored brother who didn't quite
"go the whole animal" caused considerable trou-
BILE in the camp by his malapropos romarks. The
"bretheren and sisteren" kept popping off around
him like bad eggs on hot day, but Brother Wat
kns wouldn't be quiet. lie thought the dissolu'
ton of the Union cry ridiculous. This caused a
terrible hutter among the faithful, and the whole
crowd, headed by the nondescript Burleigh, tried
to gag him by unseemly Interruptions. Watkins
farther said that the man is a contemplate cow
ard who attempts to throw the blame of the slave
ry Of 1857 on the shoulders of the trainers of the
constitution, who cnlln Washington and his
compeers-as ne had heard the Garrison party
style them--diabolical villains. This caused an.
other squirming. He then said that after dissolv.
ing the Union, we had no right to interfere in the
institutions Of what would then be foreign coun
try, lie asked Burleigh if this was not so. Bur.

looms, and amid general row. stated that if they
were going to do nothing bat talk, the women had

their household duties Sensible woman!) She far.
ther said "the convention hao nothing to do but
pass resolution dissolving the Union and uhen
that resolution ,cas passed the Union could be dis.
soired" The resolution either was passed, or not
passed, we could not discover, which, neither could
the convention, So for the life of us we can't say
if the Union is in existence at this hour or not.
Just at this time copy of the Herald of last
evening found its way to the platform. There was
general rush for it, and, after reading the notice
of the Conventions doings-n putting of heads to-

full of wrath and cabbage, e,-denounced the HER
ALD---said that instead of recommending the
slaughter of the tyrants in the South, we should
begin with cutting the Threats of the tyrants in
Cleveland, beginning With those arch tyrauts, the
editors of the HERALD. We should do thi, to-day,
and talk of farther proceedings tomorrow. Sew
era other cut throat speeches were made, and the
Convention went home to Graham bread and
| water.
The interesting crowd gathered again in the
evening. There were about seventy-fve disunion-
lists, men, women, nondescripts, negroes and AL i;
with about the same number of outsiders who had
come to see the fun. Three or four of the profes-
sonal spouters did their best to tire the audience,
and succeeded to charm. A female delivered a
set speech in sing song style An infde appeal

guments on the hopes of the hereafter he did not
recognize. Two negroes who had The misfortune

them most.

have any homes. After vilifying and threat
