TIE SCENE N THE WIGWAM.
A Graphic Description.

When the candidates Were put IN nomina.
tion, the only names that produced "tremen-
lous applause were those of Seward and Lin
coin.
Everybody felt that tho fight was between
them, aud yielded accordingly. Mr. Seward
was first nominated, and tho applause WIS
enthusiastic. The next nomination was that
in behalf Of Mr.. Lincoln, and the response
was prodgious, rising aud raging far beyond
the Seward shrek. Presently, Caleb B..
Smith seconded the nomination of Lincoln,
aud the response was absolutely terrific. II
now became the Sewald men to make another
effort, and Blair, Of Michigan, seconded his
nomination, and,

Above. all around the galleries, hats and

the Seward outside pressure should so far
from New York, be so powerful.
Now, the Abe Lincoln men had to try it
again, and Mr.. Delapo, Of Ohio on behalf

Such are the successful results Of that ma
tional policy which Mr.. Seward pronounces to
have been failure at home and abroad. No
other nation can exhibit brighter record
Where then are to be found those evidences Of
confusion, dissatisfaction and danger which he
cites: They are to be found In the history of
the times since he and his factious coworkers
found their way into the halls Of Congress- and
his fanatical party has become power in the
North. 1t is he and his fellows who have op-
posed and endeavored to thwart at every point
the foreign policy Of the government, to defeat
treaties, to break up negotiations, and by at
lacking the personal character of the President
to destroy the moral power of government 1t
is bis party that has proclaimed domestic war,
fostered invaders of sister States, stimulated
fraud in legislation and popular commotion in
and out of Congress. 1t Is from bis demagogui-
cal example, and the revolutionary and de-
structive theories Of his party, that all these
evils have sprung. The dissatisfaction to-day
witnessed in the land is turning upon the fac
tious politicians who have created it. and the
rising tide of an honest national sentiment will
seal them with its indignant rejection in Nc

speech of Douglas In reply to Breckinrids'e'
which we published yesterday is another ex'
ample of the came error into which Breckin-
ridge fell in bis speech. ana into which Douglas
has been continually falling during the cam
paign. 1t il all one tissue Of personality, and
discussion about the claims to regularity and
support Of the rival conventions which nomi-
mated the two gentlemen. Mr. Breckinridge,
instead Of meeting the great issue raised by the
republican party wanders into irrelevant
questions touching himself, ignoring the fact
that the country does not care a fig about such
matters. Douglas commits the same blunder,
In addition to riding his squatter sovereignty
hobby to death.
BY their ordinations and recriminations
these two candidates are as effectually using
each other up as the Kilkenny cats, and
they are doing more to elect Lin
coin than all the republican presses and
republican orators In the land Why do they
not initiate the example Of Seward and speak
to the point Why do they not employ their
talents in answering his arguments Why do
they not attempt to overthrow the dangerous
positions Of the republican party, instead of
abusing each other! If they shrink from the is
tue now, what will they do when 1t assumes
q more practical FORM How would they meet
II If either of them should be elected President
and if the republicans should, during the next
four years, obtain majority in both houses OF
Congress! The precious time of the campaign
Is FILTERED away and the impression is left to q
very great extent upon the public mind that the
orators cannot grapple with the republicans.
IL is the most important election since the foun-
dation Of the government; and in the absence
of proper leaders the people will have to take
Tie matter in their own hands, More depends
upon the result than upon any previous contest.
The republican leaders have declared war
against the institution Of slavery, and threaten
its extinction in the Southern States 80 soon
rs they get the power into their bands They
denounce it as a moral, social and political
evil which is destroying the country, and must
be put an end to, soon or late. And how do
Douglas and Breckenridge face this music.
They do not face it at all. They turn their
hacks, and az if they did not hear it. launch out
into personal matters and variety of small ques
tions. which have no bearing on the issue and
no interest for the public. Let them only con.
,inue to carry on the campaign in this fashion
to the end of the chapter, and the election Of

WoMAN's RIGHTS AT A PRAYER-MEETING--
Ludicrous Scene in Chmch.-The New
York Tribune says: '..
Never since the Fulton-street meeting was
opened has it been a scene of such excite
ment as on Saturday. Women usually do
not speak. But once in while a woman
has arisen, spoke few words, made re-
quest and that is all. But on Saturday,
lady from Boston-one of Father Mason's
reformed women-a lady-like looking per-
son, young, and once handsome, arose and
asked permission to say few words. The
leader, a gentleman from Albany, very
blandly informed her that as it was against
the rules he could not grant her request.
She begged pardon and sat down. A hymn
was sung, when a woman arose, tall and
masculine, with loud, harsh voice, with a
decided Scotch accent, and with tone of
marked anger, cried out 81 will not attend
this meeting again. am converted woman
myself, and if eur sister is not allowed to
speak, the spirit of God is not here. Pm a
converted woman-I say thRt-but / will
not come here again" At the close of the
meeting the people clustered in groups, and
the excitement was great. Some indicated
woman's rights--some stood by the ruling
of the leader. ..
