Every Southern State is represented ex-
cept Florida, whose delegates are on the way.
There are over 1000 delegates from the South
here nearly all the leading Radicals Of the
free States are here or on the way. 1t is re-
ported that the tone Of the delegates from the
South proper. is in favor OF equal suffrage
but the border Statesmen are as usual COM
promising in their policy.
There arc no colored delegates. The Nir-
ginisns are very radical against the rebels,
but not 30 radical for the negro.

Convention; they will meet afterwards in
independent assembly, and perhaps ratify he
action Of the Southern white loyalists.

Michigan, and New Jersey are here to well
come the hfe-tfied patriots Of The South

vast audience was deeply affected and tears
coufsed their way down the cheeks of the
old and young.
There are delegates here from Shenandoah
Valley. They held their meeting in barn,
and had their pickets out in order to give
warning, lest the friends of the President
should deter them. They are bitter on john
son.

National Union Club Rooms at $40 from
which they will be escorted to independence

the assault on Fort Sumter.
