DECORATIONS AT The OPERA House.
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 evergreens,
while suspended between the gaily painted col
umns which support the galleries, are the coats
Ot-arms OF each state. On the private box
facing the east is placed a fine portrait OF Gen.
Washington, and 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 dvested Of its scenery and will DC en-
closed on the two sides and rear with 'odlsnd
scene, which some facetious persons t.eclare is
intended to represent the forests of Chappaqua.
| IL will be necessary 20 use the dome lishts AMI
rehectors In order 10 throw sufficient light upon
| the body Of the house, and the chandeliers I'M
der the balcony circle will also be used, As well
] as the gas jets over the stage. With that much
| artificial light, and aided by the front windows
| il is supposed there will be trouble on this
score, while the mellowing effect OF combined
sunlight and gaslight, mingled with the rich hues
! OF the trimming, will have q beautiful effect.
A scenic representation in keeping with the
character Of Mr.. Greeley has been prepared and
| will be presented 10 the Convention as soon as
| the endorsement Of Mr.. Greeley has been made
| by the Convention. In the Hobbies of the Opera
! House will be great profusion OF potted plants
and flowers and small cypress trees and a large
number OF valuable oil paintings.
THE GRAND TRIUMPHAL ARcH
in front Of the Opera House is almost completed,
and will be a counterpart of the Triumphai
Arch, once the pride of Paris. II will be Law
h,shly adorned with hsgs and eyergreens, and
have upon Its face the famous words Of Mona
hon: Every mountain has sent forth its rill
snd every valley its stream, and 10. the ava.
laDche l. here!" On the east and west side OF
the arch will be the words Democratic National
Convention, 1S12" Over the main entrance of
the theatre, nearest Eutaw street, is the demo
cratic legend, the words of General jackson.
'The constitution is still the object of our reyer-
ence, the bond OF our Union, our defense in
danger, the source Of our prosperity in peace"
over the entrance nearest Howard street is the
following motto from Thomas Je ferson: 1.-The
whole art of government consists in the art OF
being honest"
OTHER NOTICES.
On the front Of the building, above the first
| story, are four quotations from washington's
farewell address:
al have already intimated 70 YOU the dangers
of parties in the state founded on geographical
determinations; let me now warn you against
the baneful effects OF the spirit Of party gener-
ally"
1.-The spirit OF entertainment tends 10 consoli-
date the powers of all the departments in one,
and thus crea'e, under whatever form Of govern
ment, a real desPotism."
Likewise avoid the necessity of those over
grown military establishments, which under any
form OF government are 20 be regarded as par
ucularly hostile TO republican liberty"
" That your union and brOtherly affection
may be perpetual; that the free constitution
which Is the work OF your hands may be sacredly
maintained; that its administrations in every
virtue
