Especial Dispatches to the Times.l

The Democratic Convention will assem-
BILE at noon at the Front Street Theater.
The number of strangers in the city
is full twenty thousand, two-thirds of
whom are for Douglas. Tie city has been
in whirl of excitement since yesterday
morning. The hotels are crowded, and
heated discussions can be heard at all points.
The breach between the two divisions is
wider now than il was at Charleston. 1t has
resulted already in a number of fights, and
Il serious disturbance is threatened. Last
night the Douglas men were much excited
declaring everywhere that Douglas should
be nominated, no matter what the conse-
quences. They are very bitter against the
Seceders. ~
The seceders are more calm. They say
but little. They have evidently agreed upon
their programme, and will carry it out firm
ly. They are not in the least affected by the
enthusiastic pressure for Douglas.
There are many calculations as to Doug
las loss and gain of strength. l think he
has probably gained several votes in the
non-seceding States. New York promises 10
stand by the little Giant as a unit to the
end. She cannot, however. he relied on, ex-
cept as to tie mere balloting. She will not
stand up to the Douglas programme
The issue Of tickets OF admission has
caused great deal of excitement. Many
contradictory IuHlOIs "SIc put aHoaI Us 10
Cushing's intentions, and he seemed To be
cursed by everybody. He soon settled them,
however, on his arrival.
No tickets of admission viii be given to
the contesting delegates. This rules out the
Seceders from the preliminary proceedings,
and in my opinion they viii stay out.
The Douglas men threaten a resolution
requiring each delegation to pledge itself to
support the nominee. II will be bad policy
for them to do so. 1t will drive Virginia,
and probably all the Amt Douglas Southern
delegates, ever to the Seceders.
The breach this morning is wider than
ever. l see no prospect of harmony. In
fact the Seceders express the opinion that a
secession at this time would prove bene-
fetal to future harmony. The Douglas men
don't deny this. So both parties seem to
concede that division at present is inev.
liable. EMS.

ALBERT SMTTH-nove list, essayist, wit
traveller, vocalist, and actor-who lately died
in England, leaving behind him fortune oil
S200,G00 accumulated in few years from
his Mont Blanc expedition, was decently
buried at a cost of not less than one hundred
dollars, having fixed that amount SIS the max
imum of expenditure in placing his remains
in the bosom of his great mother, the Earth
No doubt his common sense revolted from
the tawdry and costly display which too of
ten makes funeral obsequies mere matters OF
vain and silly display
This example will not be lost, it is to be
hoped, on either side of the water. Fune-
rails are far too expensive-almost criminal
ly so when the party so s'honored" dies
poor. The expense then comes out of the
scanty means remaining to the family of the
deceased-comes. too, at the period when
they can least afford it. Not only is the
burial costly, but SO is the mourning. Two
suits for each member of the immediate fam
lily is the lowest average to start with, and
there is further expense, let the affair be
managed as economically as possible
under the present systsna-for second mourning
and so on.
There ought to be some mortuary rule
which the wealthy Gas in Albert Smiths
case) can bring into operation, for keeping
down the excessive cost of funerals, and of
mourning attire. The rich alone can COM
mence this let them do it, and less wealthy
will follow, and thereby be greatly relieved
The middle and poorer classes dare not ex-
hibit economy in this matter, for fear that
their neighbors and friends should call them
mean and shabby, The depth of peoples
grief is not to be measured, surely, by ex-
travagant outlay on burals or costly clothes
for mourning.
We earnestly recommend the clergy. of
various persuasiOns. to give this subject their
serious consideration, in order to speak-if
necessary to preach 10 their focks upon it.
They must know that vanity, display, and
extravaganza lie at the bottom OF the evil,
and they should endeavor to uproot it,

The Massachusetts Legislature anu



The following are the resolutions which
were adopted by the Massachusetts Legisla-
tnre. The vote of the lower house, in which
they originated, was, yeas 81; nays Al; of
the upper house, yeas 10; nays 3.
:. Resolued. That the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts. in the name of her free and en-
liohtened people. demands for her representa-
tives in the National Legislature entire free
dom of speech; and will uphold them in the
proper exercise of that essential right of
American citizens.
Resolred, That the thanks of the people of
this Commonwealth are due ard are hereby
rendered to the Hon. Charles Sumner for his
recent manly and earnest assertion of the
right of free discussion on the floor of the
United States Senate, and we repeat the
well-considered words of our predecessors in
these seats in approval of ''Mr. Summers
manliness and courage in his fearless declar-
alton of free principles. and bis defense of
human rights and free institutions"
ResolUed, That We approve the thorough.
truthful and comprehensive examination of
the institution of slavery embraced in Mr..
Summers recent speech; that the stern NOR
ality of that speech, its Logic and its power
command our entire admiration; and that it
expresses with fidelity the sentiments of Mass
SachuseiIs upon the questions therein dis
cussed.
= Resolred. That His Excellency the Govern
or be requested 10 transmit copy of the
foregoing resolves 70 the President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House Of Repre-
sentatives and TO each of the Senators and
Members of the House of Representatives
from this Commonwealth in the Congress of
the United States.

prepayment of Postage by stamps.

The recent order of the Postmaster Gener-
al requiring the prepayment of postage 10 De
made in all cases, by United States postage
s,a,gDs. is said TO have been misunderstood oy
some postniasters, as compelling the prepay
uent of postage upon all letters and otner
mail matter addressed to foreign countries.
We are. therefore. requested to correct any
misapprehension on this subject by stating
that the purpose Of the new regulation as Is
therein clearly expressed, is simply to require

letters for Canada or other British North
American provinces, Great Britain, Prussia.
France. Belgium and the German States, by
the Brennan or Hamburg mails: as our postal
arrangements with each of those countries
have adopted the principle of optional prepay
Taega.
The new regulation referred to is in the
following words:
"From and after the LIST of June, 1860, the
postage upon all transient printed matter,
foreign and domestic, and upon all letters,
foreign and domestic, must be fully prepaid
by United States postage stamps, s1c1pt m

c I- We. notice that our friend, Col JOHN

New Orleans, on Saturday night in advocacy
of the claims of Gen. Houston Tor the Presl-

that he is on mission through the country
with the view of presenting the character
and morris of the Hero of San Jacinto" to
the people. Gen. Houston could not nave a
more earnest. eloquent and gallant advocate,
