So Vallandighaw, b the cleventh hour, yielded, and bas withdrawn from the Convention. He resisted all importunities vesterday, and was $rm in bis determination to participate as a delegate until this morniog about 9 o'clock. The opposition to Lim was becoming more aud wore intense until this morning, when & majority of Ris Democratic collengues from Objo urited in a request that 8¢ woud withdraw, for the eake of harmony. The Oblo Wrevet Republicans had determined on withdrawing i & body, in ocase Vallandigham iosisted on vemaining. Gen.

While there was 8 strong pressure inside of the Convention against Vailandig- esw, there was outside a stroug party in his favor.

Shortly after 11 o'clock the delegates and others began to Jook fr she wigwam, distant some two miles from the Conti- pental Hotel, and soon all the passenger cars runuing in that direction were carrying crowds, Tlere woe no pavement e wigwam, and the recent rain bad made the ground very slippery aud wuddy.

When I reached the groand, about 11} o'clock, some 200 or 00 epectators were standing in the yard, in frout of the build iug, watching the workmen, Who were as busy as bees on the roof outside, and, foside the building, men were driving nalis, and the sound of the hammer was every where heard. The wigwam is undoubtedly the safest, the most airy & a most convenient building for the accommodation of a large kari in his own room him to do this rash act. every one who saw it, a day oF two ago, was surprised to fud 1t s0 far advauced. ‘'he delegates ocoupied the floor to tle pumber of 150, when Postmaster-General Randall, Secreta: e Taterior Browuiog, Semator Doolittle, E. 0.

The reporters’ tubles were imn Qiately under the plotform, and the piess of the Eastern, M dle and Western States was well represented. A great many smart things were said by the professioual ones at the expense of the occupants of the platform, who had sumwoned spirite from the vasty deep and were now waiting for them, Senator Doolittle turned his attention to the roof over the platform, which nad not been very well covered, looked ar though the builder bad ran short of material, and the boards wide apart at the rear end of the build Wisconsin Seuator seemed to be calculating bis chances of keegang out of the rain in case of & shower. Gen. Dix took a seat noder the American flag, with which the platform was profasely decorated, and lnoked as though he would shoot avy one down on the spot who attempted to baul it down. Perrin, Cogle and Randall were busy, or tried to appear so, With the liste of the delegates and committeer, while Browning shook | bands with promisent delegates who found their way up to him, + At 10 minutes of 12 the floor was pretty well filled with dele. gotes, the galleries about half fall and sbout & doz*u ladies present, Felix McCloskey of New-York acted as Sergeant-at- Arms and maintained good arder. He was the Sergesnt at- Arms of the Charleston Presidential Convention, but could not maintain good order there. The two Conventions were com posed of the same men, with the exception of Montgomery Blair and a few others, but our Southern brethren were ou the rampage then and Felix could not holl them., He rays they are quite gentle and eesily managed now. At 12 'clock a band stationed in the hall over the main en trance made us aware of its presenco and the musie began. Mr. Pexrin in a loud volce asked, * Will the Chairman of the Georgia delegation come forward I The Chairman not making his appearance, Mr. Perrin re quested some member of tho Georgia delegation to come for ward, A reporter suggested that the delegate from Ander sonville ought to respond to this request. ‘The band now gave us the “Star Spangle] Banner,” and fol jgton and Pennsylvania, took pos sar evidently time, 2 Swo-thirds of the delegates in the Convention would admit Vallaodigham immediately, only they are sfraid of the effect '»f Lis national notoriety. While they believe in bis Joctrine, Ihey are insincere and kick him out from fear of the political ffect his presence wonld produce. They pat him, and caress biw, o promise bim a share of the loaves and fishes if bo will only keep quiet and let things get fized. Val is apparently sincere, and says it is @ swindle all through. 1 seemed last night as if the admission of Vallandigham was #he ovly possible source of discord for to-day, aud the leaders f the Convention exerted themselves to procure an amicable settlement of the vital question. Montgomery Blair endeav- #red to allay the opposition threatened from the Ohio Repub- Beavs, upon several of whom he called to argue the matter. $e was strovgly in favor of Vallandigham's admission, but found 1t Lmpossible to bring the Ohlo Republicans to his »f thinking. Finally, it became appareut this morning that Wallandigham wmust withdraw, or the barmony of the Conven- fion must be seriously threatened. A joint meetiog of the two Phio delegations was soddenly calied at 9 o'clock. All were present except Vallandighaw. The subject of Vallandighaw's adwiseion was talked over, but no defivite action was reached Wbe brevet Republicans withdrew in half an hour, leaving ihe Copperheads in session. Vallandigham entered e room, beld & Dbrief interview with a fw of bis Copperhead colleagues, and then withdrew. A resolution was then offered by Judge Nan Trump of Obio, seserting the right of Vallandigham to a seat in the Conven- ob as a delegate, and denying the right to object to his ad- miseion, bot declaring, for the sake of barmouy in the Con- yention, the Ohio Copperheads would coveent to bis with- Srawal. Tbis was adopted by an unanimous vote. Vallan- Righaw, on being informed of the notion of bis colleaguon, addressed « letter to the chairman of the Obio delegation, the porport of which is that, while he denies the right of the Con- gention to exclade him, he will not present himself as a dele- gote, fearing that to do so might disturd the peace of the pow- wow. He declines to farnish & copy of Lis letter for publication before it is read in the Convention. ‘When your reporter oalled on bim for a.copy of his letter, be 2alked wildly and loudly about his letter, and seewed to think st it was of vast importance; in fact, that on it depended the eafety of the country.

McDougal of California took his cane and went toward Tom to expostulate, first objecting to the reading of any more “calls,” but Tom explained that be only wished to viodieate bis Demoeratic friends ‘im ‘the Convention, as Vallondigham being kept out it might look as if Democrats had not been invited.

Mr. | Perrin read the eall of the Democratic membors of Congress, and also the call desired by Florence, and, after the acnounce- ment of the commitiees, the Convention adjourned until to- WOrrow.

They had been told last nicht, by Gov. Orr, that there «as no disposition on the part of the po- ple of South Carolina to rep tional debt. e nad said the same thing in a communication which be had written last Febrnary to Mr, Hi Greeley, Editor of THe TwiBuxg, He declared to-night that there was no State in the TUnion which was further from an fotention to repudiate our loaal debt than South Carolina. The people of South Caro- od taken the proper view of the subject, ational eredit must be preserved, It was like the honor an, it must always be above sufpicion. The Southern Deople say the American Government is our Government, aod although the debt was incurred in conquering us, yet we would aconer cut off our right bands than iepudiate one dollar of it. They said, and said properly, after the contest was over. we bave lost oll but our honor; that bonor uo one oan take from us, We will cling to it, and we will abide by it. ‘There was bot a rational man in South Carolina who expocted, as was alleged in Uongress, that the General Government wonkd assume the Confederate States debt. There was not a single man in South Carclina who expected or hom| for any such thing. That debt was gone. It wonld never be assumed h{ the General Government or by any State, There was no alsposition to assume it anywhere. The people of South Carolina were waiting to be - taxed their proportion with the people of Pennsilvania. New-Jersey and Vermont, to rly the great national debt now hanging over the country. That debt Lad never s him. 1t was o mere bagateile.” 1o 20 or 30 years the debt conld be paid, provided Congress woald use that economy which it was the duty of the Representatives of the people to use in all their disburseme f the public "funds. But if they spent millions lavisuly, would they be roductive of any good? Why the debt must go on heressing. It was the duty of the people to bold taeir repre- sentatives to a strict accountability on this subject. He con- gratulated the conntry on the great movemement which w now going on in Philidelphia, o great gathering of the clans from Nebraska, lowa, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Mississippi, Massachusotts, Vermont and all the States. They were as- sembled hero to-day, and he might say that a firmer aud more substantial looking body of men he had never seen assembled in his life. He had faith and hope and confidence in the work which they bad originated. He bad no doubt but that the canse of right would prevail, and that the thing would go on and the Constitution be redeemed. Gov. Perrin closed, ‘lpmllnfi‘lht hope that when he again presented himself before & Philadelphia sudience he could do 4o a8 an equal, and that all the Soutbern States would be re- stored to the Federal Union and woald manifest the zcal for that Unfon which Pennsyivania bad, and which they had in formor years, by ullym1 around the Union, protecting and defonding it, and sustaming its flag wherever I wight wave, The specch was loudly cheered throughout, sud on its con- clusion Postwaster Cleveland of Hartford, Conn., declared it 20 be the most patriotic speech Le had ever listened to, and asked the large audience to agree with him, which they obiig- ingly did.
