they pronounce the republic dead and
union gone. Despotism must follow the
failure of the effort to restore the Union
on the basis of the rights of the States.
There is much speculation as to who
will preside over the Convention. Messrs.
AshmaD, Winthrop, and Curtis, Of Massa-
chusctts, and General Dix, of New York,
are spoken of Governor Ewing, Of Ohio,
would be the man, but it is understood
that he will not be here. Some people
speak of that remarkable man Mr.. George
Francis Train for presiding officer; but
this is all fudge. Train is patriotic man,
and strongly devoted to the cause of the
country as understood by the Convention,
but presiding over such body is not at all
in his line.
The talk about rioting and mobbing the
Convention has pretty much subsidized.

thing of the kind. The authorities have
taken measures to preserve order. / met
strong police forces this morning going out
to the wigwam to guard that building.
TINS, believe, is hardly necessary. The
Philadelphlans are very DESTROYS of pre-
serving the character Of their city. The
papers OF New York have offended them
by inviting the Convention to adjourn to
the great Gotham, where they will be vel
coined with open arms, should they be
disturbed by the mob in the city of +" Bro
therly Love-" This touches their pride,
ana smartly their purse, and they assure
New York that her advice and invitation
are supererogatory.
