l. said the members of : the Con-
Veatioa were staid, middls-aged and sober
.leokiug men who knew what they were
about. AlloY me 10 qualify the assertions
The most of them are thus, but some sre
decidedly otherwise. There are some glo-
riousIy ridiculous specimens Of the ola Viz.
giuis families, which remind you Of Porte
Crayon's sksseHes and his mnngFel team driv,
en- BY a nns-eyed darkey, witha Het skunk
in the wagon. They wear leng hair; il it is
straight and coarse 70 mnch the bstseF7-
i'whO wants girls hair2" This hair Is is not
only straight and coarse, but Of a peculiar
tow color, sHggestiys. of carrots and egg
yOlks. These are young men With large ex-
pectstions, and old ones With no expectations
lat all. They have lazy air, and are more
fond Of sitting upon a dry goods box than Of
going up stairs to get chair. They talk big
oalhs and chew big plugs Of tobacco. In
short, they are The tiIne-honOred specimens Of
what you haze read in all bOoksof tsaVel in
the Southern States. They are here to repu-
diate the confederacy, and yet they disoWn
any fraternity with the "Yankees.p fiasn j
But there are men Of mark in the O1nven-
ton; men VIII would make Their mark any
where. 1t is evident to the observer who
has kept his eyes open these two days,
that there are two wings or schools in that,
body. Thess are led by Hon. John S. Car
| lie and giGen. JguJ. gacksoR. The
former ismu6h the strongest in the Con-
ventloh, but the latter has men who
are resolute and captious, and who are not to
be wearied out. Let me touch briefly upon

assembly, A-s''l s''A i''g -
