tr6E 10 O'CLOCK, P. NJ.
The Yancey crowd in Monument Square is
| the biggest aud the noisiest. 1ancey made
a great speech. He denounced the Douglas
| faction as small men with small, selfish meas
ures He said they are like the ostrich with
| its head in the sand, and didn't know that its
ugly. ragged body was exposed. He said
| whoever charged him with being disorgan-
izer and disunionist Eied He boldly de-
bounced the Douglas speakers ut the other
stand as pettifoggers and towards. The
crowd gave him nine cheers.
Gov. Tod, of Ohio. will preside over the
Douglas Convention after the retirement of
| Cushing.
l08 M.-The speeches before the rival
mass meetings were bitter beyond express
| sion. Yancey's speech was one of the mild
est. Many eXasperating personalities were
uttered on both sides. A Douglas delegate
| from Pennsy lvania. said if any delegates Sc
coded from that State, they would no. dare
return to their hOmes.-He said too. that if
| the Convention did not nominate Douglas,
| Lincoln would be President. The Douglas
| caucus has decided that Stuart, of Michigan.
| Cessna, of Pennsylvania. and Church, of New
| York, shall make their fight tomorrow. No
| possible Reconciliation can be effected. The
hostility is intensified every hour. The par
| ty is irrevocably divided. ul
IL p. M.--The Douglas meeting is played
| ont. The SOutherners still going on-two
thousand strong. Hunter, of Louisiana, has
just made an awful speech He said there
| were members of the Committee on Creden-
| tials who should not cross his threshold; a
| lady of his family should not speak to them.
| They were without honor or decency. The
| Douglas men had Dragged continually, and
in Dragging lied and knew they lied.
| They talked of Douglas carrying the Sc
| ceding States. The Louisiana delegation
would bet million of dollars that Douglas
couldn't carry one Southern State. He
| dared Douglas mer to bet. He said Douglas
and his followers were bankrupts in pocket,
and i'll principles, that they were profiigates
and ImpoSters, and their mask should be
| torn from them, and their black deformity
exposed. He spoke of fighting, and his read
| mess for it. In short he made the bitterest
speech l ever heard. II. II.

outsiders. Yesterday z. NJ, after the Con-
