4. THE PRESIDENCY. Notes of the Democratic Na- tional Convention. Delegates Pouring In from All Parts of the Union. Chase and Victory the Rally- ing Cry. Beyond peradventure this Democratic Convention which assembles here on Saturday next, and takes possession of the Tammany wigwam, will be, in the classic language of the poct Terentius, magnus ricus—which. translated into the vernacular of Billy Patterson, means ‘‘a big thing.’ The greatest gather- ing of the clans that New York or any place else has ever seen has begun. From the East and from the West, from the land of Dixie and from the land of wooden nutmegs, and humbugs generally, they have winged their way to the hospitable shelter of New York, and for a week av least we shall be honored with the company of the representa- tive men of the country, democratically speak- ing. Some fifty thousand strangers, at the low- eat estimate, will be provided with board and lodging during the session of this Convention whose busi- neas will be directly or otherwise involved in its proceedings. This enormous addition of democrats to the democratic population of Manhattan cannot but create a stir—an excitement to which even this restless, palpitating human beehive cannot be in- sensible. And then to add to the flame we have the Fourth of July thrown in with its hot and thirsty atmosphere, its powder and brimstone, its exhilarat- ing associations so conducive of headaches and soda cocktails, and above all its everlasting and gaseous oratory, /Murrah for Chase! hurrah for Pendleton or John Morrissey or any other man! will be the delightful | chorus our jaded ears will be saluted with in a few days hence. All aglow with patriotic fervor, the magnificent host of our democratic visitors will cele- ‘brate the Fourth right jo: YY, With a due apprect- ation of that royal holiday when the nation casts off its cares and beguiles the time in merriment, Almost every train to this city yesterday brought aclegates from some point of the compass—from the Gulf States or from the New England region. The tout ensemble of these democratic gentlemen is e@x- cellent. TAF SOUTHER N DELEGATIONS. Few types of “the flerce democracie” are among them. .The Southern fire-eaters, 30 called, don’t look as if they ever could or would eat fire. They are a mild mannered set of people, very genial, with alight tinge of sadness, which might be easily ac- counted for in the fact that “ihe lost cause,’’ with- out meaning to be paradoxical, was decided and lamentable failure. These Southern men are the most interesting study of the whole crowd of dele- gations, It is a subject of interest to learn their views on the great issues of the day. They have been shut out from intercourse with us sach a length of time that we meet them as long lost acquaintances, whom we formerly knew as holding very peculiar views which are now about as much fossilized as some of these interesting objects which antiquarians pick up from time to time and write speculative theories upon. Then it is instructive to know how they look upon the negro suffrage question, as it threatens to bea vital tsaue of the forthcOming cam- paign, and it Is no /ess interesting to ascertain their feelings towards Chas. who lias certainly contrib- ated in some degree to deprive them of what they tered the profita ble boon of slavery. change can be observed as having come over the spirit of their dreams. Some, it is true, still cing obstinately to the old fashtoned pro- slavery doctrine thai the nigger ts an exaggerated representative of the monkey family, but goo d sense and discretion are not Wanting among the majority. ‘They come here in a spirit of uabounded confidence in their Northern brethren relying upon them with a faith which is almost childlike in its simplicity, ready to stand by whatever candidate the West and the North in their wisdom may see {it to nominate and totaily surrendering that ence proud prerogative of the South to dictate the policy of its party. Itis a noticeable feature among these Southern men, ‘who certainly cannot be supposed to be evrerbrrdened with this world’s wealih, that their appearance and manner of livin, are very little short of that to which we were accustomed, especially at Saratoga, before the war, and which made a Southern planter the synonym for extravagance and sumptuous living. And now what everybody wants to know is the pri- vate views of these men in regard to the Presidentia! nomination, and when we say that they prefer Chase to the whole fleld we tell | their precise sentiment. Their preference for Cha 14 not an artificial feeling; it is based upon the record of the Chief Justice, which is that of the constant assertion of the gt phe of the civil power in the | government over the military, the subordmation of the latter to the former in such a way that the establishment of law and order shall not seem to be effected by the use of the bayonet, and that De Tocqueville's observation of the government of the United States being of such a character that it was neither seen nor felt may be again realized, The Western delegations are very different from the Southern. Asa general rule they are bravely but stupidly obstinate in the support of exploded ideas, and they represent that pachydermatous party of the West which has suifered such terrible punish- ment in the political prize ring without being able to realize w its weakness rests, Those from the Re nical centre of the country taik wildly about jeton, and with equal wildness about the financial issue, They have planted themselves F-- = entirely upon the question of paying the in invacks, and talk with an unreason- enth jm about sweeping the country from M to California on that plank. When they re- ceive another staggering blow which will send them “feeling to earth, to grovel there®for all time, they may in to see the folly of their ways. For tn- stance, here we have a delegation from onto, Soong at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, talking Pendie- ton from morning tl! night; talking of greenbacks and bondholders until not a shred of either is left as a subject of discourse. A gentleman of this delega- tion and another from Maryland fell tnto our com- pany yesterday, and we were regaled with the views Which Ohio is supposed to hold on national questions and public men. Said Maryland to Ohio, “See here, colon talked wit! good many prominent democ conservatives since Larrived here believe the secret desire of the that Chase may be nominated.” “Ali ied Olio; “Chase has no more nee than’ a stump-tatied bull in fy time.” This very elegant expression was intended to annihilate all further ar. gument. Everybody acquainted with poltticiar will readily recognize in the intellectual effort w have just quoted that style of detivery, off-hand and ast Saturday uur delegates 18 oppycock,"” utterly inapplicable, but conveying @ something full of oddity, signifying nothing, which poil- ticians elaploy to dazzle the senses of thetr hearers.

The terse- between the chances of the py character of the ant- ination in warm, wicked so entirely new and be- nce to whom it was adl- weather, Was somethit widering that the aud bowed an acknowledgment of its terride force and surrendered their convictions for the nonce. It is needless to sar that Ohio is hopelessly Pendie- ton, and this is a subject worthy of commiseration; for there are many good and worthy men in the Buckeye jon, aad their mistaken enthastasin for one who im himself may be very excelient and admirabie but inexpedient and inappropriate for a national issue, must be rearded by true conservative patriots with @ feeling of unaffected sorrow. of tmportanes thie delegation stands next point woe a} -, ¥ and is, of course, the object of much attention. the dashing Murat of the war, talked of among this crowd ‘ing @ Ot and sen- ivte man for the tomtnation WOT there ts a feevie- mest ve’ allowed favor the disemth {and cufranch'seuent of Classes and races of nen.

Bi a few have a6 t arrived, only about three or four, who occupy comfortable quar- ters at the St. Julien, The SS. comes without instructions, but is unequl in its preference for Chase, as the strongest candidate. They do not, however, aa has been said before con- ae other Southern delegations, calculate (a very Yankee expression to use tn talking of a South- ern delegation) to exercise any pressure upon the Convention in favor of any canii- date. They como here, as wa express it, with full confidence in e wisdom of the assembled democracy of the North, and all they ask ia that they wi!l nominate a man whocan be elected; this and nothing more, After Chase as an availapie candidate they take Henderson or Pendieyon, with Hoffman—whom they say ta very popular down South—for the second place ticket. John Quincy Adams, of Mass, or Governor English, of Coun., would be equally as acceptable.

This conimitéee is engaged in the task of dis- tributing democratic literature through the country, m enlightening the masses on the horrors of radical rule, and doing excellent service outside of the | formidable labors of the HERALD, DELEGATES FROM TENNESSER, MISSOURI AND KBN- TUCKY, The majority of the delegates to the Democratic | Convention from Tennessee, Missouri and Kentucky, who have their headguariers at the New York Hotel, appeared to be more interested yesterday in the rac- ing at Jerome Park and in visiting the various places: of amusement in the metropolis than in the great na- tional event which 13 to occupy the attention of the people from the Fourth until November, Open car- riages were in great demand, and those of tae dele- gates who happened to have friends in New York with leisure and inclination to assist them in nding the elephant esteemed thomselves peculiarly fortu- nate and were the envy of their fellows. A few, however, of the older members of the dcleg@tions from the: ates hung around the parlors and bar- room of the hotel and engaged eagerly in conversa- tion with the stovk actors of the Gemocratic machine and the scouts and yrirepuilers of the different Presi- lal aspirants. 1b was announced that a caucus of delegates from the Southern States would be held in one of the rooms of the hotel at one o'clock, but whether heat, apathy or Jerome Park was the cause, the meeting did not take place, Quite a number of peopie, delegates and others, were much disap- pointed in consequence, for it was fully expected that something wouid transpire to indicate how the Southern votes would be cast a* the nomination, Groups of excited people crowded the hall and tilled the barroom, and an immense deal of private cau- cusing was carried on by interested parties. Some affected a good deal of mystery, and when appealed to for their opinion of the poiitical situation gravely shook their heads, a/a Lord Burleigh, not meaning to tudicate that there was nothing in them, but to show their exceeding profundity, Others, on the other hand, without waiting to be questioned, proclaimed joudiy that they saw but one way out of the dull- raha was placed, and that was tu the nomination o . CHASE FOR PRESIDENT. These were in the imajority, and the argnments they put forward in support of them cand.date and the nation’s were either acquiesved in or uvoied, sven the admirers of Pendleton could not get over the arguments presented by a stanch McClellan democrat, who insisted that although it might be very creditabie to maintain party discipline, 1 was idiotic, or worse, fo run a man for President whom the cominon sense of the country rejected and who Was sure to be detcated. Pendleton was a good man, avery good may, and deserved well of hts party; but he was young and could aiford to wait tora better opportunity of obtaining the highest position in the gilt of the people. Chase was a sound demo- at, and his patform dinered so very littie from what ought to be the position of the live democracy of the country that there couid be no good reason for rejecting him. He would reuntie the country, abolish military govern- ment, assist tie South: im rec a her Position in the Union, and bury the radicals beyond resurrection. The attitude of the Chief Justice dur- ing the impeachinent tria! fully entitied him to the highest honor in the gift of the party that ciaimed to be the defenders of the constitution, ‘These were the worked by a great civil | views gens es by one of the Southern delegation im 4 quiet talk in the parior, which the crowd that surrounded the speaker did not seem inclined to combat. It was very evident that the majority ot the southern delegates 1uliy recognized the Coote of lence of the fate which awaits those wio doggedly retire fo the “iast ditch’? in a national contest, will no doubt give their votes and voices for the only stand- ard bearer who is sure to win. THE PENDLETON CAUSE, being ex! to the constant attacks of the friends of Chase and the damning support of Seymour, is quite on the wane, Tt is possible that the unierritled democracy of the Brick Pomeroy stripe have entered into some sort of a Ku-Klux Klan compact by which they may hope to pack the Convention in favor of Neton; but if they have not succeeded in training ther men to ta’k one way and vote another, the dele- gates from the Southwestern States believe in Chase wud tia only, From a democratic standpoint it seems hard to have to accept the Chief Justice, who refuses /o be dragged down to the level of party and insists.on rising above it; but the coolest heads in the demogratic ranks recognize the necessity of taking hun 4t his own price. ‘The merits of the different MILITARY CANDIDATES puch discussed yesterday. Very many of appeared to be fully persuaded that ¢ make an excetient candidate, but to confess that the objections urged wid good in his case—he was ‘The friends of Generali Hancock are jibilant over the rising prospects of Chase, feel- ing apparently satisfied that the geveral will have the second place on the ticket.

TUE OPINION OF DRLROATES in the New York Hotel seemed to be that Chase would get the nomination for Presiiont and Han- cock fur Vice President. Delegates, scoutaand wite- pullers appeared all to adil this was to be the only ticket that will save tue country and restore the democratic party to its former pow er, although it was freely acknowledg d (hat the candidates in sympathy With ihe peace-at-any-p copperhead democracy would be much more accepuble, Towards eveuing the various delegates Who had been out pleasure secking returned and crowded the hhalis, eagerly inguiriug for the latest potmts in the situation; but beyond a good deal of disemssion, naturally of a@ more animated aud rious charae- | ter than tne besore-dinue there was no indication of increase and the views of Lie de! above appeared to have ¢ during the day.

MBETING OF THE CENTRAL CHASB ASSOCIATION, A meeting of the Central Chase Association was held yesterday afternoon at No. 208 Lape br. A, W. Hall presided and E, B. Blake and William W. Canin oMciated as secretaries, After some routine business the following was offered and unanimously adopted:— Resoved, That the members of the Contra! Chase Associa- tion resolyp themavives into a committee to converse with the delogates from the several States and to press upon their attentin the fact that only by the nomiastion of the Chief Justice can the democratic party be successful in the comtn, election in its candidates, and. also that in securing the next Congress mast have auch national standard bearers a3 will puil the ticket after them and not weigh it down. Dr. Hall, the Chairman of the club, being loudly called for, spoke as follows:— 1 do not intend to assert what I will do in the event of the forthcoming Democratic National Convention refusing, in open defiance of the known will of the democratic masses, to nominate the great conserva- tive representative of the nation—our distinguished Chief Juscice—but I will say that, having taken my stand a8 @ conservative republican in favor of the democratic party on condition alone of such nomi- nation, I can neither aid nor abet the party in sup- POE 0) any of the names now prominently before he community as probable candidates. 1 have im my possession the most unques- tionablg evidence, in the shape of let- ters from penaenen residing in the strongest democratic districts in Ohio, that the democracy is almost @ unit in favor of Chase, and that if nomi- nated by the National Convention the republicans will go for him almost en masse, I have *no doubt @ majority of the delegates have evidence of the same state of feeling among the masses of their constitu- ents; and if, in defiance of this unmistakable beating of the political pulse of the party, a contrary action should be decided upon by the politicai wireputlers manipulating the Convention, they need not be sur- prised to learn, immediately after adjournment, of a spontaneous rising of the people in favor of a people’s candidate that shail represent — the Intellectual greatness and political conservatism of this nation, even at the risk of a third party and a triangular fight. It is useless to say where I will be found, in such @ contingency, for my record is and must be for progression. We must not go backward nor must we stop to fight over dead issues, but keep prominently before the civilized world the real ele- ments of our national greatness by the selection of only our greatest statesmen to fill the highest offices in the people's gift. Let tie Democratic Convention be warned in time that the people are even above conventions, and that in this emergency it is unsate to shut our eyes to the handwriting on the wall, which stand out m letters of Ilving fire.

From Pittsburg, Pa., under date of yeaterday morn. ing, we were telegraphed that the “Pendleton es- cort,” three hundred strong, arrived there that morning. They were met at the depot by a number of democratic clubs, headed by a brass band and an escort of fifty of the Mayor's Police.

The attendance was very large ana the opening campaign on the part of the club promises to be a spirited one. The immediate object of the meeting last night was to complete arrangements for the re- So of the Americus and Keystone clu! of Philadelphia, and the Pennsylvania del jon. treasurer, Lafayette Harrison, reported that $300 had been collected at the last meeting and $600 moro would be added last night to defray the peoeenty expenses. Upon his suggestion Messrs, Diefendorf, Harrison and Johnson were appointed a committee to call upon the Manhattan Club and Tammany So- clety to secure pecuniary ald and to request the Mayor to join them in the reception. A managing committee, composed of Messrs. Harrison, Riordan and Tuohey, was appointed to reccive the Pennsyl- ‘ania delegation in addition to their other duties, The ciub adjourned until the same hour to-night. Seventh Ward Wm. M. Tweed National Dem- ocratic Defenders. A new democratic club under the above name was organized last evening at the Berlyn House, No. 46 East Broadway. In calling the meeting to order Mr. J.P. Solomon said that New York polled less votes in proportion to her voting population than Phila- delphia, Boston or Chicago—a fact which he at- tributed to the rowdyism that seemed inseparable from politics, To unite those whose interests were at stake in this ward—to bring the property holders and business men to the polls and destroy the tnfin- ence of rowdies and rowdyism would be the main objects and chief aim of the club, in addition to which it was intended to give a regular course of lec tures upon the litical bet of the day. After showing the glaring inconsistencies of the several reconstruction acts and disastrous effects of the un- constitutional policy of the radicals, Mr. Solomon shadowed the prosperity that would result from a return to democratic principles. In conclusion the speaker ul the members of the organization to siand by the nominees of the National Convention and the established organizations of the party. The Committee on Organization repo the fol- Jowing as Oey officers of the society :—Richard Walters, ident; J. P. Solomon, Vice President; Dennis Dunn, Treasurer; H. I. Heifman and A. ilershtield, Secretaries. After speeches from Messra. Walters, Helfinan, Moss and others the meeting ad- journed subject to the call of the Chair. Chase Stock Looking Up. {From the Brooklyn (N. Y,) Bagle (democrat), July 1. At this time, notwithstanding the heavy influx ol Pendietonians from the West, the chances are largely in favor of the Chief Justice. It is stated by those who are supposed that Mr. Chase has been in communication with the leaders of tho Convention that he met them squarely and tapeod faith, and that they are happily a pression of views as given them by the distinguished statesman named, 1s views are very nearly in en- tire accord with the democracy; he places himself in favor of law and order, as opt to republican military ascendancy and misrule, and does not hesi- tate to declare that in the present national emer- weney looks upon the democratic party as the ouly organization which rests upon the damental principles of true government. It is ciaimed that Governor Seymour Will to-morrow be put in possea- sion of documents which he will lay before the leaders of the party, and show them that Mr. Chase, if nominated and elected, will act in concord with the present conse: Valive element of the country. The t fore, is that the Chief Justice may be jamation by the Fourth of July in ‘he event of bis election, the seven dissenting Senators would undoubtedly act with him, and, with the lower House democratic the con- the government would be wrested from the hands which have #o long hetd it, a ma |. there ta no doubt expressed as to Mr. ase’s ultimate triumph. The Vice-Presidency now sto be leaning toward the Empire State, and in all probability savford B. Charch will be i as pressed for the position, He would strengthen the ticket in this State and render certain the large electoral vote for the dewocratic Prestdentiat nomt- nee. The advocates of the “new man” are still at sea, talking to rous generaliiies and citing as precedents the campaigns of Polk and Pierce. Be- fore the Convention shall open, however, they will probabiy have been persuaded that some man of ronounced views, long experience and individual Baiance is to be preferred to a comparatively un- knowncandidate, Whe friends of Senator Hendricks, never Very active, are now apparently relaxing their efforts in his behalf. The leaders are prepariny themselves to accept as standard bearers Chase an Church, against whom as little can trathfully be sata 4 Against any persons who might be nomiuated, At week will tell the story aud sound the kuell of radicaiisin, THE HANCOCK MOVEMENT, the Young Men’s Democratic President—Ad- dress by T. E. Tomlinson. Last ovening a meeting of the Hancock column was held in the Masonic Hall. bight o'clock was the hour announced for the cofmencement of the pro- ceedings, but owing to the alim attendance nothing was done until more than half an hour afterwards, when the hall began to assume a crowded appear. an Colonel T. Lynch presived, and having called the meeting to order, Mr. Tusopore E. Tomtixson came forward and sald this was an independent movem nt, originating from no party, but springing directly from the people. It presented in its aspiration an example that should b adupted by all Americans for the reason that without appointment or without direction it was an act of ual sovereignty, the right of the master to ad- and command his servant, The people were the sovereign, and every iodividual of this country had a fight to define his policy and express his purpose, Most of the public gatherings to which (hoy worg lavited had certain platforms and policies NEW YORK HERALD, THUKSDAY, JULY! 2, 1868.—TRIPLE) S 5 and addresses designed to conceal the real object of the party who aspired to power, and seldom, if ever, expressed the true designs or the true policy of the organization they represented. But as they ap- proached the election the sublimest spectacle that could be presented to a people whereby the ballot, the thought of the nation, was expressed without the necessity of revolution, it was singularly appropri- ate that the Convention should be held in the city of New York; and it waa appropriate, too, that it should be held on the Fourth of July, because the people hoped to have a second national deliverance, (Applauae.) Moreover, it waa appropriate that it should be held in Tammany Hall because it was born shortly after the days of the Revolution and through day and night maintained the constitution, Men had been elected to the Presidential chair by reason of their gratitude to their country, Such was the tribute: past to Washington. Splendid as his career Was no higher honor could be awarded to him, nor was, the earth broad enough to hold a monument to his momory, because tha people desired to express gratitude for the soldier and the civilian. And the nation gavo similar evidence of its gratitude in the election of Andrew Jackson—(hear, hear)—when he repolled the flower of the English army and wrung from her a glorious victory, What they wanted for the Presidential chair was an executive. They did not require & poet, an orator or a professional! states- man. ‘They desired merely au executive, a man who would listen to the vo'ce of the people and obey the Manilate of the constituiion. General Grant was selected, not because he was a poet, an orator or a statesman, but because he was @& soldier; not an executive, but as one willing to execute the radical platform. After dwell- ing at some length on the radical policy which had been persued since the war, the speaker procecded to state that it was unnecessary for him to aliude to * the career of General Hancock, for it was written on qhe records of the country. General Hancock had endeared himself to the country, for he expresacd the sentiments of the people. He nobly avowed that tie civil law that the sword shouid stand aside for the civil fune- tions. He had said so coming hot from the seat of war. Moreover, he wisely observed that although the forin of the law might be destroyed by the sword, its principles would never perish. ‘fhe speaker con- tended that General Grant of to-day was not the Grant of Fort Donelson or of Vicksburg, but he was the General Grant who struck off the epaulets of the soldier and who now stood in the sable emblom of the radical party. Hancock represented their love and affection and chivairy, He admired Grant ae a soldier—as the Roman Coriolanus—but not as the Volscian who fought against ancient Rome, He admired General Hancock, for he was brought up among the de- mocracy. And so was General Grant, but the latter turned back upon the mother of his birth, while Hancock ran to her feet and placed his laurels in his mother’s nice After some further brief remarks the speaker retired amid applause. The meeting then adjourned, GRANT MEETING AT COOPER INSTITUTE. Speeches of Senator Wilson and Mr. Van Wyck. The Union Republican Presidential Campaign Club held its second public meeting last evening in the Cooper Institute tg further the election of Grant and Colfax, The hall was tastefully festooned with patriotic bunting and the mottoes of the respective States. Over the President's chair was an oil paint- ing of General Grant, and above the stand was placed, for the first time, an illuminated jet, with the words “Grant and Colfax.’ The fair sex was well represented, front seats having been reserved for them. When the main doors.were opened there was arush for the most avaiable seats, so that in a few momenta the room was completely filled. A tine band discoursed a number of patriotic selections previous to the arrival of the orators of the evening. At cight o'clock Charles 8, Spencer, the President of the club, accompanied by Senator Wilson, ap- peared on the platform, which was the signal for applause. REMARKS OF MR. SPENCER. RADICAL LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—The hotels and atreets of the city are filled with excited, «nxtous, bi democrats, Dig, Indians, fur the great powwow of the coming Fourth are -preparing the new Tam- many Hall where they are to ther around the council fire, drink from the waters of the os spring and smoke the calumet of peace with their brethren from the South, upon the nts of some of whom Northern riot hero blood has not fet dried, (Cheers.) This club deemed this a fitt time to invite you to gather here once more, an upon the very eve of the National Democratic Oon- vention wave your flag before the face of the enemy. They are divided, uncertain, distracted, mixed. mountain will undoubtedly in due time be delivered, but whether of @ lion or a mouse remains to be seen. (Laughter and applause.) Meantime we press on the column adyocating equal political rights and justice to all men, under a brave leader, who never knew Vefeat wath a long record of victories in the past and with unwaveliog and steadiast confidence in the future. The Union Glee Club sang an ode, “The Sword of Ulysses,” which was followed by an original song entitled, “Grant, Our Great Commander,” sung by the composer, Mr. Bernard Cobert, a venerable looking radical in knee breeches, LETTER FROM THADDEUS STEVENS. The PRESIDENT read a short letter from the ‘noblest Roman of them all’’—Thaddeus Stevens. In speaking of the Ohicago Convention Mr. Stevens | said:—“No republican can hesitate to approve of the | nominations, Ido not think that a braver or more | patriotic citizen can be found than General Grant. jis wisdom in council, his moral courage and his exclusive attention to what pertains to his duties render him eminently fit to be the Chief Magistrate of the nation. I cannot doubt that a very large majority of his fellow citizens are of the same opmlee. I may say the same with equal propriety of the Hon. Schuyler Colfax." SPRECH OF SENATOR WILSON. . Sénator WILsoN, of Massachusetts, coming for- ward to address the meeting, was loudly cheered. He sald he prayed them to accept his grateful acknowledgments for the kind words and for this generous greeting. In the dark and troubled days through which the nation had and was pass- ing it was always grateiul to any of the actors in the great events to receive a kind word and a generous welcome from any portion of his countrymen who loved their country—the whole country and the liberty of all its people. (Cheers.) God in his vi- dence had given them thelr being in this magnificent continental republic of free institutions, where man could do 80 much to advance the cause of Christian — civilization. The : peo- ple of the Untted States were in sum- moned to elect a Chief Magistrate of the republic, ‘That great duty rested upon them, and in four months six millions of citizens of the United States would thi to the ballot box and elect a President of the United States, and this tleman here jpetny. ing to the gentleman who pees the praises of General Grant) had sung to them who that President would be. The republic was divided into two politi- cal organizations embracing three millions of voters «ach. They were contending to-day for the control of the policy of the republic. They would ask the | votes of the citizens of the United States. The other day the republican party assembied on the shores of Lake Michigan iy prociaim the sentiments of millions of oitizens who approved of the nomination of the greatest captain of the age as a candidate for the sidency. (Cheers). Ina day or two the Democratic Convention would assem- ble in this city. They came without any platform, and none of them knew what that platform would be, (Laughter), He challenged any man to put his han on any act of the democratic eer, for the last thir- teen years that could be called patriotic. (Cheers), Parties were to be judged by their acts, and not by their professions. The republican up of three millions of voters made up of the old anti-slavery veterans of thirty years Ca aa ro of the old fee goliers—of the old whig tion of the right of petition A ago—of the flower of the dewocratic party and three quarters of a million of enfranchised black men—(cheers)—loyal to the country—all true to liberty, all carr; the flag and keep ng step to the music of a untl Iree country, (Cheers.) That party was led by General Grant, and he would jead it to sure victory. (Cheers.) The democratic party came before them with two and @ half millions of voters, one million of them being unconverted and unrepentant traitors— neers)—who were not sorry blood they had shed and ail the tears of agony and sorrow they had caused, but who mourned only for the lost cause—made up, too, of several hundred thousands of the sons of the Knights of the Golden Circle—men who wept over all our victories and re- joiced over all our defeats, The speaker predicted the election of General Grant, a Senate to sustain him and as | ge majority in the House of Repre- sentatives as they want (Cheers.) Grant would be elected by the votes of thirty States of the Union. (Cheers.) He asked was the republican to be sot aside for Seymour—(hisses)—and the w! brood. of men who, in all the struggles now passing, er uttered a Vth sentiment, never performed a glo- rious deed for the country or for humanity. (Cheers, The men who voted for Abraham Lincoln in i in ali the trials of that bloody four years never furnished a man who was traitorous to the flag in the six hundred en ments of the war. were 350,000 dead hi but not one of those gal- bullet Ailentough the night Sf the. wa resident walle rot 0 a party, and at all Lincoln leaned upon the republican 5 times, in sentiment, me oat members. of that party sustained it Ht ir bl and carried it to the throne of God for blessing. Judged by the standard of jotism, how would the demo- cratic party bear the test? The 000 dead herves and the 400,000 wounded and maimed heroes in the land were the victims of democratic bullets, A few of the democrats had re. pented, and he would welcome them all if they would repent of their sins and pledge themseives to stand by their country and its cause tn the future. The democratic journals ana their leaders in Con- gress now openly avow that they mean to undo all that has been done in favor of reconstruction on the basis of loyalty and liberty. That only could be ac- complished by violence and by b.ood. “He told those l-aders now that he dared and defied them to the contest.

He asserted that the democratic party never did anything to alleviate the oppreased, and proceeded at length to recount their deeds in fur. therance of slavery. The democratic party voted against the second bili which Chief Justice Chase drew up. ((ireat laughter, and a voice—‘'They are ‘oing to vote for him now.) Since the morning of the creation, in no Christian or civilized land had there been a party so hostile to the rights of human nature than it. The democrats sometimes talked about the rights of our citizens abroad, forgetting the four and a half millions at home, The speaker then measured the two parties by justice and humanity. The Freedmen’s Bureau coat the country six millions of dollars; but by its organization of lnbor when the South was disorganized it had brought atgleast twélve millions of dollars into the Treasury. He believed General Grant was nouinated by the instincts of the people months ago, and that the Chicago Convention only ratitied their aation. Ho would as heartily support Mr. Colfax ay General Grant, for he foresaw two years ago that the former would be nominated as Vice President. When Grant and Colfax are elected, and ail the States come in, and the rights of all the people secured, we intend, said he in conclusion, to relieve the men of the South from their disabilities, reserving perhaps a few who have been great criminals, but letting the mass of the people know that we can forgive If we cannot forget the past. We intend to do all we can to make the country united in feeling and m sentiment, to secure the liberties of all the people, to encourage education, exeiop industries and build up our great continental republic that Almighty God has given to t..is1 people. ‘fhe election of Grant would be a pro- clamation of peace to all parts of the country, and the business men and all classes of the people should labor to that end on bended knee in invoking the blessing of God upon the effort to bring about a true anda lusting peace. (A voice on the platform— “Give us Logan now." An elfort was made to eject the impolite individual, when tue Senator requested that violent hands should not be placed upon him.) The coming battle would be fought in that spirit, and he asked the Empire State to give its electoral vote for Grant and Colfax, Senator Wilson resumed Mg | scat amid appluase. | REMARKS OF GENERAL VAN WYCK. General VAN WYCK was the next speaker. He ad- verted to the statement which he said was made by the democratic party*that if the republicans could not succeed in impeaching Andrew Johnson they | would be broken up. Were they? No, like thelr army in the field they rose to a higher and holier pur- pase The democrats did not like General Grant, ‘ause he whipped their friends down South, 2 of the colonels who fought on the renel side come: ‘to the Democratic Convention in this city. Hesapoke bere last ht, and he said he never desired to firo on the flag Of the Union, however eager he might have heen to shoot down the standard bearers. (Oh, oh.) This rebel colonel further stated that the negroes should not be permitted to go to the poils. Taough the republican party were defeated on impeachment, yet they bowed to the decision of the Senate, an they did not, like the democratic party, send an aa- sassin to puta bullet through the brain of Andrew Johnson. (Cheers.) The speaker afiverted to the speech of Governor Seymour of a few nights atnce, in which the Governor spoke of the immense national debt now due. All this debt, said the speaker, was incurred in defence of the country and in payment of the war debt. He charged thatthe democratic party had not given their sanction to the war, and that | some democrats who did nobly fight to save the life | of the country had to leave the democratic party to do so, That party had not been in favor of allowing sallors and soldiers to vote, but how they were msk- ing that there should be a Soldiers and Satlor#’ Con- vention as an adjunct to the Democratic Convention. Governer Seymour im his Fourth of July speech asked “where were the victories they were pro- mised?” and while he was uttering that treason tue lightning of the nears answered him that the works of Vicksburg crumbled -before the arms of Grant, (Cheers,) The domocrate said that they wanted to have a white man’s government. ‘That was all good; but what kind of white i? They wanted the men who saved the nation, and not the men who sought to destroy it. (Oheers.) He arguod that liberty ought to ie to all, and, with respect to the question of tion, he said that it was strange how a mass of the Irish people, feeling from justice in their ‘own country, when they came here gave their votes to that party that were not in favarof the equal rights of all men. He said to the Irish that if they were not paling, that all men should be free, they were not fit to free themselves. (A voice—‘It is their ignorance.”) The party in England that was in favor of reform tae Ki ay mvegy With the republicaus Ut Amer said to the Irish that if they hi given their adhesion to the republicans and been bound up with them by all the ties | of common principles they might depend upon it | that, in the event of a war with Great Britain, there would be oo child's play, but such an outburst that might rock the throne into the sea. (Loud cheers.) ‘the meeting was soon after closed, the chairman jae that at future meetings of the club addresses would, he expected, be delivered by General B. FP. Butler and Mr. Edwin M. Stanton.
