New-York daily tribune., 1858-06-29


ties, especially the pewly pro-eIyted converts, wao
have not untl lGt,ly been willing to believe them
selves capL5ic Oi reforming Il creation in thirty
minutes, are 1ot present. The absence Of certain
literary men Ct some note, who were confidently
expected il especially regretted. There are pre.-
ent certain men ond women, ThO are always knOwn
az prominent leaders in Spritualstic, Temperance,
AbOllti n and other &" Reform" denominations,
and nauy of whom are popularity supposed to III Ike
their several lsings by the mysterious practice Of
the -aid occult Grs but ia point OF talent ana sohd
ability us yet developed i'll the actiOn Of the meeting,
this COnveutiOn is very weak.
Aside from the speakers aud active DartcipatOrs
in the exercises, the men who lounge into the big
tent, and lqzIy stretch themselves on the grass and
chew straws while they istrn with benevolent pa
terce 10 the Trades from tbe PLATFORM are a. list
less, lazy, uD.bOrn and " shlitl.ss looking as any
set Of ulfUrtunates ever gathered into crowd "ita
the the TmOmeter In q torrld humor.
As for the ladies who grace the assembly with
their fair presence aside from the publicly s-kno@n
female advocates Of Wonens Rights and other
UtOpian luz uries, and who would not thank Us to
praise their beauty and accomplishments, single
remark will suffice. If any one OF them should ever
be accused of being what people OF carna minds
sometimes call "gOOd.O"kbg," not jury in the
land but would instantly acqu her OF that unfounded
charge, even though that jury were composed
of dozen very old bachelors with vie aad faiSe
eth, who would be naturally enthusiastic on the
subject of female beauty.
The ladies' of the town of Rutland are very few
of them visible in the Convention. Indeed. 1t IS
asserted that when their prudent papas heard that
the Free Love" Convention was inevitable IN
their vicinity, the good-looking young ladies' were
all sent out of town, for fear Of accidents. A
number of "roughs" from the village occasionally
stray into the tent, but there have been as yet no
symptoms of any sort of an outside row. The peo-
pie have opened none of their houses to the unwei
come strangers, but refrain from displaying any
violent indignation.
The tent is q big one; there is no bar in it, but
several booths outside dispense lemonade root-beer
and ginger pop TO tine Thirsty crowd.
It will be readily seen by the tone of the resOu
tiops published yesterday that there is strong and
even solictous and teyerish anxiety that the subject
of Free Love" be kept down. There will be
strenuous outside exerlions made, By certain ones
who desire To have their shirts clear from inc
Free Love" heresy, to kill down tho whole sub
iect. though they will not dare to gag down al
speaker who NAV insist on introducing the forbidden
theme Although the Free Lovers are IN minority
most disastrous to their hope OF making great
public impression and securing the Endorsement oil
this Convention it is not feasible that they be tied
hand ard foot by the overwhelming majority, on
account of the pretenti0us guaranty OF Z" free
speech to every body on every subject 1t L
mistake not there will be one or t@O rac iOus men,
bers: one or two who viii have the pluck to under
take the Free Love fight, and who have the Will
and the power to make themselves heard or to up
set the entire Convention, and mcontnently break
il up in grand row. The discussion OF the reso.
lut0ns is to be STAYED off long as possible, and
debate is to be as much as possible avoided, unless
the fractious ones insist it, until the hour OF nd-
j0urnment draws nigh, when they will probably De
rushed through; the programme looks at present.
NotbjnQ of great Importance has been yet done.
The speeches this afternoon amounted to very little,
the speakers having been all arranged beforehand,
aud allowed 30 minutes each, In which 70 unburden
| themselves.
Mr.. II. c. Wright made short speech.
TIE Rev. WIN. GOOdcil followed.

gelic society is manifested by thorough organiz l.
| ton. "
Taking this lucid proposition ostensiby for his text
he talked for half an hour, but ddut say anything.
At the end of this time he was gong on iOr another
hour OF sO when he was interf upted by the Chair,
who told him time was up; aud a man IN the back
part of the meeting also objected TO haVrS the time
| of the meeting thus employed.
| Dr. A. ID. Gardner was highly indignant at the
interruption, and moved that Tiffany go on for the
| 90 minutes vet remaining before adjournment.
| The Chair refused to entertain the motion.
| MIR. Gardner wanted to know why the motion
could not be entertained, and wanted the Chairman
TO understand that other people hsd rgots there aS
well AS the Chairmsn and he renewed his notion

| Chair) Was u gcntl.man. ana hoeW now W uea'

stood the motion to be that Mr.. fany be required
| TO fill up the twenty minutes and not that he oe
n,r,iu,d 40 TO do Ii he was only to be permitted,
| aud not required, he would put the motion.
MIR. Gardner expressed himself satisfied with the
ap,osetc statement of the President, aud after this
| truly Pickwicklan demonstration, Mr.. Tiffany went
| on. lie concluded, and the Chairman delivered
| himself Of another Pickwickian explanation OF his
ruling i'll the Gardner case, aud waited the Conyen-
tion to help him make rule tor the government OF
| unruly speaheIs who want more than their own
| time The Convention concluded to abide by pres
ent rules and refused 10 help the Chairman pass the
| vicious ones.
