The interior of the Opera-house, where the
convention will meet, has been decorated In a
handsome manner. The circles have been
beautifully festooned with flags and ever
green's, while suspended betweeXbe gayly-
painted columns which support the galleries
are the coats of arms Of each State. On The
private box facing The east ls placed fine
portrait Of General Washington, on the box
facing the west Is the portrait Of General
Jackson, and over this box is the portrait of
Van Buren, and on the. opposite side that of
Henry Clay. The stage has been divested OF
It's scenery, and Will be enclosed on two sides
and the rear with wood, which some facetious
persons declare is Intended to represent the
forest OF Chappaqua. 1t will be necessary to
use the dome lights and reflector In order
to throw sufficient. light upon the body
Of the house, and the chandeliers under
the balcony circle will also be used as well as
the gas jets over the stage. With 30 much
artificial light, and aided by the front win
doWs, it Is supposed there will be no trouble
on this score, while the mellowlng effect of
combined sunlight and gaslight, mingled with
the rich hnes OF the. trimmings, will have q
beautiful effect. sc.nic representation In
keeping with the character OF Mr.. Greeley has
been prepared, and will be presented to the
convention as soon as the endorsement OF Mr..
Greeley has been made by the convention.

great profuslon of potted plants and flowers
and small cypress trees, and alarge number
Of valuable oil paintings. The grand trlumphal
arch in front of the 0pera-House is almost
completed, and will be counterpart OF the
triumphal arch once the pride OF
Paris; It will be: tlaVishly adorned with
flags and evergreens, and have upon its
face'the famous words OF McMahon, "Every
mountain has sent forth Its rlll, and every
valley It's stream, and 10! the avalanche is
here" On The east end, west side Of the arch,
will be the words, democratic National Con-
ventlon, 1871" Over the main entrance Of
the theatre, nearest Eutaw street, is the DEM

Above the irst story are iour quotations from
washington's address: 81 have already inti-
mated 10. you the dangers of parties 10 the
State, founded on geographical discrimlns-
tIons. Let me now warn you against the
baneful effects of the spirit oil party generally"
tsYhe spirit Of encroachment tend to consoli.
date the powers of all the departments in one,
and thus create, under whatever form Of gov
ernment, real despotl.m." "Likewise avoid
the necessity Of those overgrown military es-
tablishments, which, under any form of gov
ernment, are to be regarded as particularly
hostile to Republican liberty" THAT your
union aud brotherly affection may be per-
petual. that the free constitution, which Is the
work of your hands, may be. saoredly main
tanned, that Its administrations In every de-.
partment may be stamped with wisdom and
virtue"
