Before the Meeting.
WIGwAM, August IA, l1'30 A. M-The first day
of the Convention is commencing in rather a
dlsorderly manner, consequent upon the untin-
ished state of the building. Up to the present
time the Wigwam has been crowded by gazing
loungers, and few of the leading delegates.
Senators CoWan and johnson are walking on the
floor; the reporters are talking over their seats;
the noise OF hammering is sounding; the grit of
the saw forming most unmusical obligato ac
companiments to the jar of discord; noises
which might be interpreted as ominous of future
disagreements.
Postmaster General Randall arrived early with
the leading members OF several delegations.
A large band of music is IN attendance, and is
discoursing national and spirited music previous
TO the organization OF the Convention.
HIstOrIaDs OF the Convention.
The New York papers have strong force of
reporters here. The New York Times has sent
down Mr.. Howard to take charge of It's exten-
siye corps; the New York Herald has sent Mr..
HAYS; the New York Tribune has sent Mr.. Young,
one OF Forney's old "friends." The New YORK
World has sent Mr.. Clarke; the Washington IllelIi
gencer is represented by l.. A. Whitley and Mr..
Snow; and every leading paper in the Union
has picked its men with the same care and
judgment. Ben Perley Poore is here for the
Boston Journal, and Mr.. Andrews for the Boston
Advertiser. The official report is being made
under toe supervision of Mr.. Whitley, by
Aessrs. Cayaran, Ristine, and Tooley.
The public journalists of the country are much
indebted to Mr. Whitley for his incessant indus
try and care in providing them with places, and
in lmpressng upon the committee the import
ance of making the best arrangements that cir
cumstances and limited time would allow.

The semi-official organ, the Zeitung, says that
Napoleon's absurd demand has raised hopes in
France which it is Impossible for Germany to
fulfil. The ideas of the revolution must have
taken the place OF the usual course of policy of
France. The changes which have taken place
in Germany are of national German, not an
international character, and convey no menace
or danger to France.

have read with deep emotion your letter of the

ness the erection of monument over the
remains of my daughter, at Warren White

/ do not know how to express to you my
thanks for your great kindness to her while

of her since dead.

sideration will continue through life, and my
prayers will be daily offered to the throne OF

you.
visiting the tomb of her who never gave me
aught but pleasure: but to afford me the salts
faction which crave, it must be attended with
more privacy than can hope for on the occa-
sion you propose.
But there are more controlling considerations
which will prevent my being present. Her
mother, who for years has been afflicted with a
painful disease, which has reduced her to state
OF helplessness, ls this far on her way to the
mineral springs which are considered the best
calculated to afford her relief. My attendance
is necessary to her in her Journey, and the few
weeks have now at my disposal is the only
time which can be devoted to this purpose.
But though absent in person, my heart will be
with you, and my sorrows and deVotlons will be
mingled with yours.
l hope my eldest son and daughter may be
able to be present with you; but as they are
distant from me, l cannot tell under what cir
cumstances your invitation may lind them. |
feel certain, however, that nothing but necessity
will prevent their attendance.
