THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION

SEIRAIISHING.

| IL seems 10 nave DeeU DECIDED llat Inc
Wood allandigham element shall bt
forced out of the Convention. On the
other hand, leading men of this elias:
manifest the greatest obstinacy, and de-
clare that if they are refused admission
the Convention will be broken up. The
effort to exclude them will certainly be
made, and the prospect of trouble arising
from it is admitted by all to be threaten
ing.
One matter under discussion in the eau
Gus to-day has been the form of resolu-
tion which it is proposed to offer, exclud-
ing both those who opposed the war at
the North and original secessionists Of the
South. If offered it will probably be
presented by Southern man, though it
seems to have originated with the Ohio
delegation.
In point of numbers, the Convention
will be an imposing body. The Demo
cratic element is very strong, and also
very defiant. The Conservative leaders
are determined to cut down debate to the
lowest possible limit, and TO rush the
measures they agree upon through with
the greatest dispatch, and Immediately ad-
journ. Tho Copperheads viii, however,
endeavor to secure a hearing, and failing
in that, will break up the Convention.

vALLANDIGHAM.
1 called on Yallandigham this afternoon
to ascetain what were his views on the
subject. found his room filed with
friends who appeared to be extremely
glad to see him, and many who had never
seen him before were assuring him how
glad they were to met him. Judging from
the number of delegates who honored
him in this way it will be hard work to
exclude him from tho Convention. l
asked him about this talk against him.
He replied that it was clamor, and would
amount to nothing.
- bHJ,2 said L, slasJ Say they -rill nut
out out
"They can't do it" said he My ere
dentials are in.my pocket, and they are
certified to Just as others are Whoever
attempts to put me out will find hard
work of it. If they rule me out, they
will have to rule out majority of the
Democrats from Ohio, all from Missouri,
all from Maryland, and all from Ken
lucky. OF course their resolution could
not mention names, but would have to
apply to class"
then todd him that I had heard of a
resolution being suggested in the Ohio
delegation that no man from Ohio
should speak without the consent of q
majority of the delegates He said he
had heard of this, too; but it wouldn't
do any good. If he wanted to speak he
should speak; but he did not come here
to make speeches and probably should not
have word to say in the convention.
As left him, he said to me, "You can
say that l will be in the Convention, and
that all attempts to keep me out will
fail"

OH!
1t has been discovered that the l4th Of
August is the anniversary of JEFF. Davis
proclamation of 1861, banishing Union
men from the South, and the formal dedi-
cation of the wigwam has been post
pOned till the 18th, in consequence.
THE wIGWAM
The wigwam is located near the corner
of Girard avenue and Twentieth street.
The front is two stories high, and has
twelve windows and five doors. In the
center of the front there is flagstaff one
hundred feet high, from which the flag of
the Union wing of the Convention will
float There are seats for about thirteen
hundred delegates one hundred and thirty
newspaper men, and nine thousand spec
tators. The back seats designed for trail
tors have not yet been erected.
Gazette Correspondence
The wigwam is far from being compile
ted, no part of the roof as yet been put on
A large body of workmen have been busy
upon it all day, much to the disgust of the |
who are, perhaps, more particu- |
lar in regard to the observance of the Sab |
bath than those of any of the large citi- |
zens of the land. Some of the delegates |
severely condemn this disregard Of the |
and of the public opinion of the |
city. The feeling in the city against the |
Convention is very strong. Indeed, al |
though no violence isanticipated from any |
citizens, the great influx of |
ex-Tebels happening so soon after the |
of the Louisiana Convention,
is the theme of constant and excited re-
mark. The city authorities have taken
every precaution against riot, and State |
troops are under orders for any emergency.
THE PRESS.
The press of the country is very numer-
ously represented, and over 400 applica-
tions for desks have already been received.
4 large number OF telegraph wires have
been stretched to the Wigwam, and every
facility is to be extended to members of /
the press.
