Especial Dispatch TO the Cincinnati Commercial ]
M.-The city swarms like bee hive.
All parties know that the fight comes in the
morning. Immense crowds fill monument
Square. The usual rival mass meetings are
simultaneously roaring. Two sets OF speak
ers are ding dong-ing and playing the same
old rub-a-d dub tune for and against Douglas
"a thousand voices keep necessarily crying
ssYancy Yancy !"-bands playing--Roman
candles exploding walks thronged ey
erywhere.
10 O'CLOCK, P. k.--Thc Yancv crowd in
Monument Square is the biggest and the
noisiest. Yancey made great speech. lie
denounced the Douglas Faction as small men,
with small, selfish measures. lie said they
are like the ostrich with his head in the sand,
and didn't know that it's ugly, ragged body
was exposed. He said whoever charged him
with being disorganizer and dsuniouist,
lied. He boldly denounced the Douglas
speakers at the other stand as pettifoggers
and towards. The crowd gave him nine
cheers.
Gov. Todd, OF Ohio, will preside over the
Douglas Convention after the retirement OF
MIR. Gushing.
HALr-PAsr TEN, P. M.-The speeches be-
fore the rival mass meeting were bitter be-
yond expression. Yancey's speech was one
Of the ,miidest. Many exaspsrating person
aiities were uttered on both sides. Doug
las delegate from Pennsylvania said ii any
delegates seeded from that State, they should
not dare return to their homes. He said, TOO,
that If the Convention did not nominate
Douglas, Lincoln would be President. No
possible reconciliation can be effected. The
hostility is intensified every hour. The party
is irrevocably divided.
ELEVEN, r. M.-The Douglas meeting if
played out. The Southerners still going on
1000 strong. Hunter, of Louisiana, has
just made an awful speech. he said there
we're members of the Committee on Creden-
tals who should not cross bis threshold; d
lady of his family should not speak to them.
Douglas men had Dragged continually, and
in Dragging, lied, and they knew they lied.
They talked of Douglas carrying the South.
The Louisiana delegation would bet million
Of dollars that Douglas couidn't carry one
Southern State. He dared Douglas men to
bet. He said Douglas and his followers
were bankrupts in pocket and in principles
that they were profigates and imposters, and
their mask should be torn from them and
their black deformity exposed. He spoke OF
fighting, aud bis readiness for it. La short,
be made the bitterest speech ever heard.
A delegate from each State waited on the
New York delegation to.night, TO see what
they would do. Ii was found that ma ioritv
Of Two, only, of the delegation was in fay or
OF the majority report on credentials. So
the whole matter hangs on two New York.
