THE OLD FOGIES VICTORIOUS AT LAST, Wendell Phillips & Co. Discarded by the Cold Water Army. Fred Douglass Denied Admission into the Camp The Convention Composed of White Men. BLACK MEN AND BLOOMERS ENTIRELY EXCLUDED ALARM OF FIRE. 4N AUCTION SCBND, te, &, & At nine o'clock yesterday morning the third day’s sea sion of the World's Temperance Convention commenced. ‘The leaders of the cold water army, intent upon depriv- fog the lookers-on of the fun displayed the day before, stationed a commitiee at the door, with positive orders to admit none who hed not with them their credentials to the convention, ' All who were not taus provided with ‘the proper pass were turned into the galleries. Wendell Phillips wae admitted, but it was only to be turned out again, after he Bad taken his seat. Whether orders were given to admit only white men, we cannot say ; but a black man, ealling himeelf Frederick Douglass, presented his credentials at the door and demanded admittance asa delegate from Rochester. He didn’t get through. He wes informed this was a white man’s convention, and that the best accommodations that could be afforded to him, were to be found im the upper gallery, especially made for the use of eclored gentlemen. The Napoleoness (if we'may be allowed the word) of the day before, Miss Antoizette Brown, was not disocvered among the au dience. From the new arrangements, she was only there through her reprerentative, Wendell Phillips. The absence of the petticoats accounted for the com: parative order and coolness of yesterdsy’s deliberations. The delegates went on like men who were not afraid to act. There were about three hundred delegates ad- mitted on the lower floor, when the meeting was called to order, The gallesies were filled with ladies and gen- tlemen, who, no doubt, had come in expectation of a re. perfermsnce of the amusements cf the dsy before. The President, Neal Dow, Esq., introduced the Rev. Dr. Kennedy, of Brooklyn, who opened the proceedings with prayer. The minutes of the previous day were then read, and oppored by Wendell Phillipe, Mr. P, rose and atiempted te speak, when The Hon. Mr. Hoar, of Maesachusetts said—Mr. Pre- sident, Irise to ® point of order, (Several yeioes—" Go on the stand.” ‘‘ Take the platform.’’) “ Keep etill,”” said Judge Hoar, “and I will speak loud ‘enough for you all to hear me.”” Judge H. proceeded—I regret that Mr Phillips, powerful im oratory and intellect, and desirable aaa co-operator in any great cause in wh’ch the heart takes part, should be here reprerenting himeelf as a delegate to this con: vention upon doubtful credentials. Certain reports have ‘been made in reference to the papers which he bears, which fasten fraud upcn parties somewhere connected with his presence hei For his own sake, for the honor of this conventiqgg, and for my sake, I hope it will be referred to a committee to examine and report upon the credentials which the gentleman bears, that he may be freed from any imputation which may rest against bim.

Various motisns were made to amend, substitute, lay upon the table, &c. After some difficulty, tha yoto waa taken upon the original motion of Judge Hoar, and the convention decided to refer Mr. Phillipa’ credentials to tue committee for their examixation. ‘This was a death blow to the whols crow. No one for a moment thought that the committee would report in ‘avor of them. Mr Ph'liips hed already played too conapicuons 8 part, end become too obnoxious to the convention.
