SEYMOUR'S SPEECH, SCENES IN THE CONVENTION, FACES AND SPECULATIONS, From our special dispatches of last evening, (Published in our third edition of yesterday,) and trom other sources, we compile a very Tull account of iast evening's session of the New York Convention, with many interest. ing iacts and speeulations connected with this great gathering of the Democracy. The Convention reassembled yesterday af- ternoon, end was eiled to order at twenty minutes after four o'elock. The Ball was cTowded and the gaslight ready for an anticie pated evening session. ~ On taking the chair, Mr. Seymour was greeted with cheers, ‘The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Convention, beaded by the fig borne by Sergeant Bates, was received with loud cheers, Mr. Woodward, of Pa., presented the com- mittee from the Convention of the Soldiers and Sailors. They were req aested to take position upon the platform. The President—The Chair bas the honor to introduce to the Convention General Frank- lin, as one who represents here now the Gon- servative goldsers and tailors of our country, who desire peace, anion, and fraternal regard. General Frapklin—I ‘have been depuiated by the Gomervative Soldiers’ and Satiors’ Convention, sitting in this place, to present to on the committee. This committee has for ie hepa | sGeneral H.

Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: Weare instructed by the unanimous vote of the Convention ot Uniom Soldiers and Suilors Bow ip session at Cooper Institute to return to ‘ou our thanks for extending to us the privi- es of the floor of your Convention. The od- jects for which we &re assembled are clearly set forth in the address of our presiding officer. Our Convention is composed of two thousand delegates, elected to represent every State and Territory in the Union army er navy, every one of whem firmly believe that in cd-opera- ting at this time with the Conservative party of the country he is still engaged in the same cause for which he risked his life during the war, (cheers,] viz: to preserve the Union and Maintain the supremacy of the Consutution. (Cheers.] We believe that the crimes now be- ing perpetrated in the name of republicanism and loyalty are not less alarming tuau were those committed by foes of the Govern- ment during the war. The Bei now im power has destroyed the equality of the States, has forced the Southern States to submit to bave their constitutions and laws framed by ignorant negroes just released from a condi- on of servitude, while atthe North it has dc. nied the ‘0, although ean sige well educated, even the right of suffrage: as At- tempted to influence the decision of the hi, tribunal of the land by calling public mee! of excited partisans to co n, in advaner, all membersof the court who might refuse ‘ act in sccoruapee with their dictation, the leadtng journalists of the party, since the close of the iinpeachment tral, have denounced and vilified, in the most unmeasured terms, the once cho.ex lwaders of their purty, going so tar as to threaten them with personal violence, for no other reson than that they were unwilling to perjure themselves at the belest of party. (Cheers.] Ithas freely removed politfcal dis- abilities irom men at the South who, before amd during the war, were the most violent and ma- lignant rebels, but who have since become the sycophants of the party in power, while it con- nues to persecute those in the same localities who have always been true to the Union. but are now unwilling to be ruled by their | emancipated slaves. [Cheers.} In the North it hus denied official positions to bundreds ot the veterans of the war, most of whom are dis- abled by wounds received in battle, while it has foisted into place partisans of its own, hev- ing no claims uron the Government, many of whom, jortunately for the country, have, during the past few montt = become inmates of our penitentiaries, It tas placed the General of our armies beyond the control of the Presi- dent of the United States, to whom the Federal Constitution makes him subordinate; has nom- inated him for the Presidency. and the everts of che last 1¢w months indicate that by the use of the army, thus under bis supreme control. thereisa imation to cause the electoral ‘votes of the Southern States to be cast for hir- self through force aud frand. {Hiss:s.) We solemnly declare our conviction that the free institutions of our country have never been in greater jeopardy than at this time. We look to the deliberations of the Democratic party now assembled in Convention with the deepest an xi- ety, feeling that upon it depends the fature prosperity of our nation. earnestly trast And believe that no devotion fo men or adhe- Tence to past issues will be permitted to en- danger the success of the great party to which the country looks with anxious eyes for per- manent peace and the perpetuity of our tree institutions. [Cheers.} We believe that there are living balf a million of men who served in the Union army and navy who are in sympa- thy and judgment opposed to the acts of the arty in power, and at least another half mil- ion of Mem, Who have heretofore acted with the Ri ica® party, but who, viewing with alarm recent acts of party, are now anxious fora of administration. -[Ap- ause.} With a platform of principles reviving Bo dead ‘and looking only to the arrest of existing evils, and with candidates whose fidelity to the Constitution and devotion to the country cannot be questioned, we shall co- operate with you in this campaign with « degree of enthusiasm and confidence that will bring victory to our standard and salvation to our cow [appl ase. } ‘The reatfing of the names ef Franklin, Mc- Clellan, W. T. Smith, and other well known soldiers, which were attached to the address, elicited further enthusiasm. The Chair then introduced General Thomas | Ewing, Jr., of Kansas, who proceeded to ad- dress the Con vention SPERCH OF GENERAL EWING. General Ewing said:—If it were appropriat= for me, it would be impossible for lack of Yoice, to express to this Con vention the thank- fulness which I and the members of the Con- vention feel for the cordial and egthusinstic manner of this reception. We feel that the members of the two Conventions, however widely separated their paths may have been in the past, will march henceforth in one line. {Applause.) Weearnestly wish to accomplish the purposes of the war as we understand them—{applause}—the traly cordial, uncordi- onal restoration of this Union. [Applanse.| We have no sraepees tor those purpos which have bean sey and epoxies iy ‘snb- stututed by the Republican party for the avow- ed objects of the war. (Applause.] We care not for the dogmas of negro suffrage. We ab- hor their measure of white disfranchisement (Applause.) We look upon them as ene- mies to the Republic when we see them endeavoring. by means of that power which a great, confiding people entrasted to them, to undermine and overthrow the settled foandation of our Government. (Applausc.| We cannot, we shall them any longer. [Applause.| We earnestly wish tw associate with the great body of the Democracy, North and South. (Applause) With thousands agninst whom’ we fougtit during the war. {applaw *] With thousands who felt, perhaps, coldly im the North towards the Union cause, while the war weut on: with all of those who now cordially accept as the estal of the Constitution that the Union is unseverable, and who will stand by and defend the lution as interpreted bi the Government and the Su Uonrt, [Applause ) Since our meeting here we have the pleasure of friendly intercourse with many of the most prominent of the generais of the Confederatearmy. {Applause.| Knowing them to be men of honor, comparing views with them, and feeling that their views and our views asto the present and future policy ot the Government coincide, we will take them ae hand as brothers. [Appiause.} Forgetting past issues and passions, we will recognize political enemies only in those who’ are plotting to overthrow the Union of the States and ovr constitutional form of govern- ment, and we will recognize political friends ip 811 of thove who will sustain us in endeavor. ing to overthrow that party. (Applause.) I thank you, gentlemen ot the doutten jon, for bonor of being called the very une: upon to address you, and will wa die cate ana Tad as on” When Mr. Ewing concluded, the Uonven- jon, and the vast crowd in the galleries, rose © their feet and gave the Soldiers and Sailors bree cheers. Om motion, the addresses and resolutions of the latter were made a part of the proceedings of the Con vention. FAILURE OF AN ATTEMPT TO TAKE A BALLOT.

GOVERNOR SEYMOUR'S SPEECH. Governor Seymour, in taking the chair as the Permaneut President of the Gon vention, at the morning session yesterday, delivered an which was referred to in our special dispatchys last evening. He said that b thanked them for the honor done him: they hod met in order to deliberate upon a question of great interest: they had not met under sim- ilnr circumstances ever before, and no preju- dices should be allowed to interfere with their dAiberstions. He proceeded to review at some length the assertions in the resolutions put forth by the late Republican Convention, say- ing “In the first place they congratulate the per- plexed man of business, the burdened tax- r, the Iaborer whose hoars of toi! are i out by the growing costs of the Jes of life, upon the success of that ree contruction policy which has bronght all these evils upon them by the cost of its mili- tary despotism and corruption of its bureau agencies. In one resolution they denounce all forms of repudiation as a national crime. Then why did they put upon the statute books of the nation, the laws which invite the citi- sus Who borrow coin to force their creditors to take debased paper, and thus wrong him out of a large share of his claim, in violation of the mostcolemn compact! [Louu cheering.] ‘They also declare the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is so to improve our credit that capitalits will seek to lozn as money at lower rates of interest than we now pay, and must continue to so long as repudi ‘par- Lal, total, open, or eovert, is threatened or sus- |. Then, why have they used full (WW 014) Of the taxes drawn from the peopie of this country to uphold a despotic military authority, and to crush out the life of the when if this mouey had been used to ay olf our debts, capitalists would now seek to tend us money at lower rates of interest? But for this covert repudiation, our national credit Would not be tainted in the markets of the world. [Applause.] Again, they declare of all who were faithful inthe trials of the late war there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of campaign and cruise, and imperiled their lives in the service of the country. The bounties and pensions provided by the iawsare obligations never to be 1orgot- ten, The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people—a sacred trust bequeathed to the nation’s cars. How have the sacred trusts been performed? They pay to the maimed man, to the widow, or to the orphan, a currency which they have sunk one. quarter below its rightful value by their policy othate, of waste, and of military despotism, the pittances paid eo the wounded soldiers, And pinched down 25 per cent. below the value of that coin which he had a right to expect (Loud cheering } Is there no covert repudiation in this ? [Appianse.| Again, they ay, forvign immigration, which in the past has Added #0 much to the wealth, development, and resources, and increase of power to this Re- Ppublic—the asylum of the oppressed of all nations— should be fostered and enc by liberal and just policy. Is this foreign im- migration. fostered by a policy which, in cruel mockery of laws jast past deciaring eight hours to be a legal day's labor ? But the cost of Gov- erament and of swarms of officials su swells the cost of living that men must toil on to meet these exactions. [Cheers.] But he would not go through the indictment which they bave inadeagaanst themselves. There are still ten Siates where the Declaration of Innependence capnot be read with safety. Having declared that the principles of the Declaration of Inde- pendence should be made a living reality on every inch of American soil, they put in nom- inguon a military chieftain who stands at the ‘bead of that system of despotisms thatcrashed beorath its feet the greatest principle of the Declaranon of Independence. (Cheers. } Contnuing in the same strain at some iength, he closed by saying: “In the spirit thea of George Washington and of the patriots of the Tevolution, let us take the steps to inaugurate ourGoyernment, to start itonee again on its © to greatness and prosperity. [Loud cheers.) May Almighty God give us the wis- dom to carry out our purposes, to give every State of our Union the blessings ef peace, Sood order, and fraternal affection.” Mr. Seymour closed amid great cheering.

The following in- cadents, speculations, &c., are taken from the New York papers: The Commercial Adrrt.ser of lastevening has the following RESOLUTION ON THE REDEMITION OF THE BONDS, When Mr, Seymour hid concluded his re- marks the Secretary read & resolution offered by some delegate from Michigan to the effect that the national bonds issued 1a pursnaace of the various acts of Congress, should be paid oft yn the legal currency of the country, unless ‘be law creating them especially provided that they were to be paid in coin. As soon as the purport of this resolution was ‘arly understood, the Ubio and other West- ern del gates, without waiting to hear it out, set upa deafening applause, which was caught up by those outside of the railing and in the galleries, and re-echoed with an enthusiasm Which did not abate until it was again and gain repeated. The reception it met seemed to fill the Pendietonians with a delight which they could not conceal, and for the Grst time the quiet which reigned was broken by the congratulations and hobmobbing of the admi- rers of George H. Some members of the Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Convention who sat next to us pooh pooled” the whole thing, aud said that it could not be taken as an evidence of the strength of Mr. Pendleton, inasmuch as the Democratic party ‘were all im tavor of the Govers- ment obi; ions according to the term: of the contrat. They thought when the principle here enunciated came to be Incorporated in the platiorm, it would be so worded as to suit equally well the views of those whte did not feel the same interest in the nomination of Hen- @leton. FEMALE scryRaGE. Mr. Perrin then rose to say that he had just received @ commuuication trom the “Women's League” in this city, addressed to the Uonven- tion by Mrs. Susan B. Anthony, and accom. ing & series of resolutions which that Tespectinily requested might be read Convention. "He proceeded ve tracts {rom this communication, and. ther it down, when cries of « Read! read, A <i on!” Xc., arose from every part of My. Perrin resumed the teading of the maa. script amid great lauguter aad applause. The sentiments were, many of them, warmly ap- pinuded, eepecially ‘where Mize.

A periect volley of affirmatives followed this —— And it was carried amid tumultaous cheers. EXCITRMENT OVER THE RESOLUTIONS Urox THE CHIBY JUSTICE. When the enthusinsm bad subsided, the Hon. A. Oak+y Hall, of this city, sent up to the chairman a resolution with the request that it might be read to the Convention. Mr. Perrin adjusted his eyeglasses, as if conscious of the importance of the document be heid in his band. and ina stentoran voice proceeded to give is contents to the Gonven- tion, The resolution declared that it was the serse of this Cony: ntion that the Chief Just ce of the Supreme Court of the United Staves bad, in ‘he judgments rendered by him, ia the impar- tality be bad exhibitea, in the dignity he had sbown, and in the disposiixon be evince 4 to uphold bis judicial character while presiding at the recent High Court of Impeachment, en- deared bim.elf to the American je and furnished a bright example ol persoual cour- age aud official rectitude, The reading of this resolution fell like a bomb- shell upon the Convention. Its conclusion was greeted by @ torrent of apptause, such as nad not previously distinguished the s°ssion, ‘The whole lobbly seemed to have just waited for this chance to express their preterenc» for Chase. Two-thirds at least of the delegates caught the fever. The iriends of the different candidates outside turned to the right abd left, looked at each other in dismay, whispered t > gether mysteriously, and seemed utterly at a loss to comprehend the enthusiasm. 1t was the most marked event of the moraing. SOUTHERN MEN LN THE CONVENTION. The New York Post says:—“A number of prominent Southern men are ts be seen in the Convention; men whose names became famous during the ‘late war. Their presence in the Convention, whatever that boty may deter- mine on, is a sign of good; and we believe the influence of such men as Wade Hampton aad Forrest upon the action of the meeting will bo beneficial. They are practical men; and Gen. Hampton is probably satisfied by this time that the ‘one-party system,’ which he lauded two or three years ago, is mot any longer pox:'ble, eveu in Sguth Carolina. We hope be will see ~0on that 1t is Lot wholesome any w ABBIAGES. ABBIAGES, Cc ae CARRIAGES: On hand a large pamber of tirst-class Oarria-es, at reduces prices.
