From the New York World

week in July, from all parts of the Union,
TO take part ia the deliberations which are
10 result in the nomination of the next
President and Vice President of the United
States on a Democratic national platform.
Tammany Hall will accommodate an i'm
mense assemblage within its capaciOus
walls, but as it is calculated that each dele
gate will be accompanied, on an average,
by at least ten friends or hackers, it will be
necessary to find quarters in other places
for this immense Goneourse when the labors
of each day = session are concluded. Irving
Hall has been engaged by the State Cen
trail Committee of Pennsylvania for the
convenience of the delegation from the
keystone State, and Masonic Hall will
furnish sleeping quarters for the Pendleton
Escort, which is to number over five hum
bred men. Fl.n.
The walls of the Academy of Music will

the elOquenee of Democratic orators, and

board and lodging to two hundred and
fifty delegates and their friends from
Maryland and other Border States. The

for delegates from the Border and Southern
States, and the denizens of those obstetrics
will once more behold the familiar faces OF
staunch Southern Democrats.
The Everett House is negotiating with
the Vermont delegation and it is probable
that the Green Mountain boys will be found
here in large numbers. The Pendletor
men will aggregate themselves at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. The irrepressible, indefati
gable and never-to-be-beaten Col. Woolley
of Cincinnati, who had the honor of kick
