It is designed to the republicans nd war democrats on somo basis; but uo one appears to know exactly what that basis will be. It is the gooeral understandios that come mode cf politica action to be determined upon for the conduct of State and home affairs in future. Many of the leading republicons opposed the calling of the convention, on the ground that there was no cleet ion pending, and, with the exception of the war und its con. dnet,no political issues on which the people were di. vided. They feared that the party might be committed to acertain’ fine of policy that it might be necessary to change as time moved on. Most of these men have with- drawn their opposition, but are still insisting that the resolutions all refer only to the prosent cecasion, | and not be mece to cover anything ia the future.

Yesterday thore was high wiod and the dust awept ta huge clouds all over the level country where Springfield is located, The sky was dark and promised rain. The faces of the lead- ing republicans were much darker than thosky. They had boen ronsed to a becoming serenity in the early morn by the knowledge that tho Presiffent’s letter was firm and unequivocal on the war question, The dust and the lowering heavens in "the afternoon drove away their cheerfulness, and some of them wero much more gavage than the rugsod Russian bear would dare to be with a gore head. Thov had speaking. in the evening, fer the wind had subsided and the evening trains ar- rived, 8 that their happiness partially returned. Thonca- forth the clements wore to afford them no canse for grief. ‘The crowd last night was mainly from the more distant points, and completely filled the town. Every hotel was full, aad most of the private houses contained as many people a# could be HEvoviontly accommodated. This Morning's trains cimo in with crowd®l cars. From ali direction’—East, Weat, North and South— they wore equally filled. A considerable dole gation cams up from St. Louis, and there was quite a eprinkting trem Indiana and Iowa. By eight o'clock the people from the country began to pour in In all sorts of conveyances—mang on foot and more on horseback. ‘Towns within a radiva of thirty miles sent delegations in. wagons, and with bands of music aud with ft Fating alike horses, vehicles and men. By noon they wore stitt pouring in from all quarters, but the stream had considerably diminished. By sunset the ebb com monced, aud to morrow at this hour will see the vast crowd diasipated to the four winds Many of the visitors are already showing signa of dissipation, though they manifest no dozire to go home At the Fair Grounds is the epol selected for the apeak- » all conaty and State tatr grounds, those at mmodation of a large multitude, Tt was filled to ils capacity on tho occasion of he demoeratic gathoring on the 17th of June, and it is again filled today.

The crowd was consiforod too lar lisien to four speakers at once, ant a fifth stand was im- provived. To the regular stands the speaxera had baen provioualy asaigned, nnd the improvised stand was filled by vol nteers. It was a noticordie fact that thore was no tack of vaiuable apeakers.

Whothor the canal is now forgotten in other parts of the country Iam unable to say. Itis not forgotten in Chi- cago, The people of the Garden City are talking of it as enthusiastically as they did in the days of the Convea- tion, Chicago is (be only city in the West that has not euf- fered from the war, In St. Louis more than threo-fourths the trade has been completely lost, and in Cincinnati the suffering in businoas circles has besa severe. Before the war the trade of Chioag. was mainly with the Northwest, and this bas never been interfored with. The trade of Knnsag, Nebraska and tho plains formorly went chiefly to St. Louis, The disturbed condition of affairs in Contral Missouri and along the Mirsou:i river transfor- red much of this Far Wostern trafic to Chi- cago, The Hennibal and St. Joseph Railway, lead- ing directly across Missouri, afforded a ready lino of communication from the¥arge towns on the frontier, and inured wonderfully to the bsnefit of Chicago. 1 cannot Perceive that the business of Chicago has suffered in the slightest degree by the war, Outward indications are (hat it is much increased. Never in tho history of the country has there beon such an immense travei over the steamboat and railroad lines as during the present season. Every road and every boat is taxed to its utmost capacity in froight as well as in passenger traasportation. Three or four years ago Chicrgo had a sufilcient num- ber of hotels to accommoda:e all (he travel of that time. Enterprising parties undertock the experi- ment of erecting a hotel on more magnificent proportions. than any of which the city could boast, and which shonid rivai anything of the kind in the Kast. Such a botel—the Sherman Houas—was completed and opened just before the war broke out. Many persons shook their heads and Predicted a failure, They have been happily disappoint- ed. The Sherman House has been almost constantly full from the day it was openod, and has achiev- ed. an enviable popularity. On reat occasions, Ike the Ship Canat Convention, it accommodates people enough to stock a respectablo town. This ccevrring at the same lime that the other hotels were flourishing fuely, shows that Chicazo is suffering in no degree by the war, The immonse numbers of her citt- zens who are now indulging in pleasure trips evince thoir Azancial success, The Republican Convention at Springfield attracted much of the attention of Chicago, In fact, much of the wire working for the affair was performed by Chicago politicians “The republicans appear complacent enough over the result of the gathering, but many qf them are heartily ashimed thit tha Convention was ever beld at all. Fora wonder, none of the speakers managed to. put hs foot in it, and bring the party to grief by lying down propositions that tt would bo necessary 10 retract or involve the concern in unpleasant compli- cations.
