The rooms OF the dinerents delegations, especially
the apartments occupied % headquarters Of each,
are literally strewn with all sorts Of campaign docu-
ments, views OF wiseacres on the subject Of what
the platform ought to be, antecedents Of the
candidates and the like. Newspapers from the
home States OF the delegates are also visible, very
pentifully distributed over the tables. The life Of
George II. Pendeton, in formidable pamphlet,
garnishes almost every pertaining to the friends
OF that gentleman, who, II the numbers thereof may
be any criterion. has certainly existences than

STICKING TO PRINCIPLES WITH VENGEANCE.
One delegate, o Massachusetts, man, who made his
boast that he had been q delegate to several pre-
vious democratic national conventions, was inju-

assertion OF his longer headed co,vreres, who IN
