prevailed. During Sunday night the prncipa
Douglas men concluded on programme of proce
dure, which they had no doubt would lead to thciI
success and Yesterday morning they wore rather
triumuhant yisages. The anti Douglas men exhi
bited more earnestness than they had on the day
previous and were not only decided, but in somf
instances even violent in their denunciations of tbq
"Little Giant" Added to this, excitement wa.
the ncpssant camor for tickets of admission to the
Theatre by those from abroad, and the demands OF
reporters and wOudbe reporters and letter writer.
and woud.be letter writer's. The Sergeant-at-Arms
was beseged by the latter class until for self-pro
tection he compelled to leave Barnum's.
The hour for the meeting of the Convention was
ten o'clock, but long before that hour the immense
thrOng began to wind its way to the Front Street
Theatre, and at nine o'clock so densely was the
crowd packed on Front street, between Cav and
Low streets, that it was almost an impossbty to
reach the Theatre. The larger number of persons
in this crowd were without tickets and were on
the lookout, by some hook crook to gain an en-
trance to the Theatre The Committee of Arrange
ments, however, had taken every precaution to
prevent parties gaining entrance, unless they
were legitimately entitled to seats. The reg lar
police arrangements admirable and officers
were stationed to guard all the avenues, while iu
the inside the following parties were acting as
Deputy Scrgeants at "A Arms:-C Captain w. Good
rich, Joseph Mitchell, Thomas Goodrich, i. Dom
nelly, Joseph 4. Pierson, John Slater, Charles
Hannigan, and George Clacker, who, together
with the very efficient Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr.. Nc
Cuskey, did excellent service. About nine o'clock
the side entrance on Front street opened for
the admission of delegates and the representatives
of the press, and in a short time sufficient
Der OF the latter had entered to occupy all the seats
prepared for their accommodation, and those who
came in later compelled to put up with but
meagTc accommodations.
At ten o'clock, when considerable number of
the delegates had arrived, orders were given by
Mr.. McCluskey to throw open the front doors for
the admission of spectators. As soon as they

menced surgng and rolling, and it took the utmost
efforts OF the police to keep them from the doors.
The officers behaved well, not roughly, but firmly
and soon cleared a way, which enabled those
having tickets to enter. 1t was found that but a
small minority of those who thrOnged the streets
were in possession Of the proper credentials for
crossing the threshold.
The dress circle had been reserved for the occu-
pancy of the ladies. 1t was not well filed there
not being more than one hundred present. The
family circle was crowded with men, but there
we're very few in the third tier. OF both SEXES,
there were not more than six eight hundred
present In the earl Y part of the proceedings it
became evident that the dress circle was filled with
material which was anxious to give expression of
favor or disapprova of the sentiments uttered by
the speakers. The first violent manifestation of
this character was promptly checked by the Pres-
dent of the Convention, who gave the enthusiastic
to understand that repetition of the tumult would
be the occasion of clearing the gallery During
the rest Of the morning session good order pre-
vailed.
On the adjournment for recess of couple of
hours, the crowd hurried up the streets to the ho-
tells. The failure to carry the resolution to refer
the matter OF disputed seats to the Committee on
Credentials, afforded fruitful subject of conversa-
ton. The ant-DougIasites asserted that ir was
death to "Little Dug"-that he was overheard;
that the seceders would be admitted to seats and
that was an end OF it. On the contrary, the Duu-
glaS men were sure that the motion would yet pre-
vail and that their favorite had gathered strength
during the morning. On gaining Monument Square
the point OF attraction the head quarters OF the
New York delegation. A crowd of from one to
two thousand persons thrOnged the pavement and
street, and filled the porch and spacious apartments
of the delegation. The excitement was great and
the future and action of the delegation can
yassed, both the wings claiming that the action of
the delegation in the morning was to their advan-
tage. The crowd continued in front of the build
ing, with but slight dimnution, until the hour for
the reassembng of the Convention, when the mass
of people again repaired to the vicinity of the The
atre, where the same wild excitement prevailed.
Daring the sitting of the Convention, throughout
the entire afternoon and up to eight O'Clock at
night, the crowd remained in the streets adjacent
to the theatre, and the effects of bad liquors were
visible in the frequent violent disputes which arose
between the friends of the different candidates for
the nomination. And we may state that great
facilities have been created to keep the attendants
upon the Convention from getting thirsty A
number of little grOg-shOps have sprung up like
where all kinds of Intoxicating drinks are sold
One enterprisng gentlemen has converted what
once a blacksmiths shop into a drinking
saloon, which he dubbed the ''Nominee House"
wise discretion is exhibited in the selection of the
name as the friends of all the aspirants and par
ticularly the friends of those who have the least
chance for nomination, throng the ex-back-
smith shop and keep the proprietor extremely
busy.
Before the Convention adjourned a large crowd
gathered in Monument Suuarp. and several If the
bands commenced discoursing music. The mass
swayed to and fro from one point to another, now
at Barnum's, then the Gilmor House, and anon in
front of the New York headquarters. little
after eight o'clock in response to repeated calls for
speech, Mr.. Powell, of Philadelphia, ascended
the steps and commenced speech favorable to the
nomination of Judge Douglas. he was received
with great applause, and spoke long and eloquent
ly. 1t soon became apparent that large portion
of the crowd were dissatisfied with the tenor of Mr.
PowelPs remarks, and there a movement to-
wards the Gimor House. The crowd gathered
rapidly, and in few moments there deafen-
ing calls for Mr.. ancey, of Alabama. That gen
tleman did not respond Immediately, and it was
only after repeated calls that he stepped forward
on the balcony. His appearance greeted with
the most enthusiastic shouts. Cheer after cheer
fairly rent the air.
When order was restored, Mr.. Yancey thanked
the assembly for the honor they had paid him, and
expressed his qualification at meeting such number
of constitutional citizens in Baltimore. He apollo
gized for not being in condition to address them as
he desired to do, but assured them that his life and
powers whatever they might be, We're dedicated to
his country. He was followed by Judge Meek, of
Alabama, who entered into 4 defence of the course
of the seeding delegates, and claimed that their
action had no other view than to preserve intact
the Constitution of the country. The remarks of
Judge Meek were received with much warmth by
the crowd.
Hon. William S. Barry, of Mississippi, next took
the stand and delivered speech in the same vein
While these gentlemen speaking from the
steps of the Gilmor House, the Douglas wing of the
Democracy were in full blast from the steps of the
kew 7 ork headquarters. Mr. Powell was followed
by Hon. Mr.. Clay ybourn, of Missouri, who made a
violent Douglas speech Messrs. Ryan. of Louisiana,
Pryor, of kentucky, Parrin, of New York, Godur,
OF Georgia, and others, spoke from this stand;
while at the Gilmor House Mr.. Barry was followed
by several gentlemen, whose remarks were all well
received but at the close of each speech there were
loud cries for Mr. Yancey, and at a few minutes
before twelve O'Clock the honorable gentleman
again appeared on the balcony and addressed the
crowd in most eloquent strain.
The speaker was frequently interrupted by as
surances from of his auditory that the sent
ments which he uttered found a hearty response in
the hearts OF Baltimoreans. At the close of Mr..
fancey's remarks the crowd dispersed. The Doug
las meeting had spoken itself out by eleven o'clock.
But very few of that wing went to the ether meet
ing, appearing to have had enough of speech
flying.
night was very imposing, but whether it added
much to the strength of any particular aspirant is
a question yet to be determined.
