CuicaGo, August 29.— At poon the Conven- tion was called to order by Augast Beimunt, Chairman of the Nativnal Commitee, who said: «We are assembled here to-day as ® National Democratic Convention, und-r the call of the National Democratic Committee, for tae par- }ose of nommating candidates for the Presi- gency and Vice Presidency. “This task, at all times a most difficult and arducue one, bas, by the sad events of our civil War, assumed an importance and responsinility of the most feartul nature. Never, since the tormation of our Government, has there been Ab @sermblage the proceedings of which were fraught with more momentous and vital results at those which must flow from your action ere. “In your hands rests, ander tha rulings of an all wise Providence, the future of this R-puo- lic. Four years of rule by a sectional fau it- ical, ana corrupt party warns us of the disas- trous consequences which would befall us if Mr. Linculn’s re-election thoald pe made pus- sible. « The inevitable results of such a calamity Must be utter disintegration of our whole po- hnueal and social system, amid bloodshed aud anarchy, with the great proniems of lideral progress and self-government jeopardized tor gentrations tocome. Let us at the very outzet of our proceedings bear in mind that the dis- sensicns of the last National Demecratic Co vention were oneof the principal causes which gave tbe reins of goverument into the hinds of our opponents, and le! us beware not to fall again ito the sume fatal error.

Let pure and disinterested patriotism, tempered by moderation and for- bearance, preside over our delib-rations; and under the blessings of Almighty God, the sacred cause of the Union, Vonstitution and laws must preyailover tauaticisin and tres- sons,” Rev. Dr. Clarkson, of Chicago, offered a prayer for the epeedy return of peace, aud for the permanent happiness of the country. A list of delegates was called by S’ates, and as euch chairmau presented bis credentiais he was welcomed with loud applause. Mr. Tilden moved that on+ delegata be ap- yointed from each delegation to report resolu tious for the consideration of the Convention, aud thatall resolotions be referred to a com- Wittee without debate. This was carried. Mr. Powell, ot Kentucky, stated that the contesting delegates from that State had agreed, tnd werr harmonious 1m this convention. He Moved that a member from each delegation b+ »ppoipted & committee on resolutions, they to bave out one vote. This was carried.

Who will be the nominee tor President is still in doubt. The mo+t prom- mentnamesare Governor Seymoar, McUiellan, Pendleton, of Obio, and Senator Allen, of the same State, The Western delegations are di- vided, with an anti-McUlellan preponderance. Prominent Western men maintain that McUiel- lap could not carry a Western State. His in- uvgnration of the system of arbitrary arrests, by seizing the Maryland Legislatare, and his Ww yee speech hang around bim as a dead Weight Delegates from localities that have suffered from arbitrary arrests aud tyranny are partic- ularly bitter. One thousand doliars was offered last ¢vening that be could not carry Onio, In- diana, or Illinois. Governor Seymour is strovgly urged as a candidate.

Mm —An immense crowd hes pour+d in from ail quarters. Mc- Clean and anti-McClelian feeling rans very bigh. McOlelian men may endeavor to abolish the two-third rule, but the success of euch a course would break up the Convention. Onio is strong against him. Indiana and IMinois are divided. He will have a majori‘y in the Convention, and will probably be nominated on the first ballot. If ominated as of Obio, Amasa J. Parker, itis said, will be proposed by the McClellaa parry tor Vice President. It is not probable tnat Governor Parker will be nominated it General McUlellan he pat for- ward 6s a citizen ot New Jersey. Mr. Pen ‘le. ton, of Ohio, or Vorhees, of Indiana, wiil Probably be placed on the ticket with him, 'o conciliate the West. If a Peace platform be adopt d, the Peace party will accept (teneral McOlellan. Ifary other is agreed upon, there will be an explosion. But it is almost positive certainty that tne platform will be the correct exposition of Democratic sentiments. The Vice Presidency is bardly thought of. All interest centers in the nomination fur Chief Magistrate and the platform. The New York delegation held a caucus last evening. They will vote as a unit for Mc- Clelian and favor an armistice and con vention. They meet at nine to-morrow morning. A large concourse of friend» trom every State in the Unton called on Vailandizham thisevening. The Von vention mets to-morre 7 noon. There will be no nomination defore Toesday or Wednesday, most likely the latter.
