Women’s Suffrage Association in the Convention. HARMONY IN THE PROCEEDINGS. An Immense Assemblage and Great Enthusiasm. The Convention, after a somewhat sharp debate and heavy flank firing, on Saturday afternoon ad- journed to ten o’clock yesterday morning. Long before this hour there were streams of people to be seen making their way to Fourteenth street, in the Vicinity of the new Tammany wigwam. In front of the building back to the line of the street there were eager knots of persons discussing the probable ac- tion of the Convention during the day. Ardent democrats were there, all warm and excited on the ereat interesting topic of the hour—the political situ- ation from a democratic point of view. There was expressed on every side almost but one opinion— that the nomination of Pendleton would ren- der the Convention and its proceedings nothing more than a Grant and Colfax ratification meeting. Chase was the favorite on all hands, and not a few of those who urged the propriety and expediency of taking him up in the Convention emphatically deciared themselves democrats dyed in the wool. This was the general fecling on the steeet. What feelings will predominate with the Convention is an- other matter, At an early hour there was a general rush to the doors of the building, butas none but members of the prets and delegates were admitted before ten o'clock there was a good deal of confusion in front, with pushing and elbowing to a most unpleasant ex- tent, The police regulations were not as compiete a3 on the previous day, and this led no doubt to some of the disturbance on the street. ‘here wasja larger number of ladies present than on Saturday, the seats reserved ior their accommo- dation being on either side of the hail, The heat of the day was tempered by a cool breeze, which was allowed free ingress through open windows and | gratefully inhaled by all who on the previous day suffered so much from the intense heat. From ten | o'clock the hall began to fll with delegates, but it was some time after when the general public were | admitted on their tickets, Outside Tammany Hall, s'ret Fourth avenue along Fourtec mass of humanity congregated came to a dead- lock immediately in front of the democratic temple. Talk of the crash at the box office of a theatre on the benefit night of some grea! hisirionic artist or | the terrifle crush for dinner of a crowd | of New York excursionisis, all such pale into insig- nificance before the tremendous pressure of the great wave of democratic humanity that beat upon the | breakwater of metropolitan police that guarded the portals of Tammany. One of these ponderous | coaches that our modern hotels delight in, con- | stracted for the torture of their visitors, happened to | enter Fourteenth street, just at the time when the | aforesaid wave was moving in a! its majestic mo- mentum down the thoroughfare from Union square, ng from Third to Li steect, a surging and waa instantly engulfed, raised bodily, | incredible to relate, of the ground and cast | to one side. This feat was as naturally as it | ‘was marvellously performed, anid then followed a scene which New York has had tew such instonces | j\ of since the days of the grand rising in defence of the | flag, when the railings in Union square succumbed | to the tremendous pressure of patriotic democracy. | Inside the building the noise from the street found its way in a low rumbling sound iike the premoni- tions of an earthquake, occasionally rising in volume | and conveying the impression to the mind of the hearer of a fearful contention among the waves of ‘the sea and the rocky frontier of the land. It was more than the vor populi, it was the might and ma- jesty of the people coming like the crested billows and with both voice and strength asserting its presence and its power. BUSINESS OF THE CONVENTION. | The Convention was called to order by the temporary chairman at a quarter before eleven | o'clock, PRAYER. ‘The following prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Quinn, of Barclay street church:— O, Almighty and Eternal God—Creator of heaven and earth and of all things therein, who art infinite in knowledge and wisdom, and by whom just laws are adminisiered by those high in authority, and by whom wholesome laws are enacted, #o that they may ‘ve administered with clemency and mercy,eustaining and ucperagine. all men in good works—we pray ‘Thee, Aim ighty God, that our brethren and our fei- low citizens throughout the United may be bieased with the knowledge and sanctified in the ob- servance of Thy holy aw; that they may be united to- gether more and more in union #nd in thee! ent of that peace whieh the world cannot that to je | the vainge ‘of this life they may become partakers of joys t are eternal. We pray Thee also, Almighty God, for those who are now here as- sembied in convention from the different and most remote parts of our country that their deliberations may be conducted in the spirit of harmony, of peace of charity; that their deliberations may have reference chiefly to the public good and the well being of society and the peace, happiness and pros- perity of our beloved land. We pray Thee also, Al- mighty God, that these Thy children who are assem- bied, while devoting their best facuities to the great and exalted interests, may not be unmindful of Thy presence and of the high and responsible duties that they owe to Thee. These, Almighty God, and other precious gifts and blessi we pray Thee to shower down upon us this day thro the merits of Thy Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who reigns with Thee tn the unity of the Holy Ghost, worid without end, THE JOURNAL. The PRESIDENT announced that the business In order was the reading of the journal of Saturday. Mr. TILDEN, of New York, moved to dispense with the reading of the journal, which was agreed to. Mr. RICHARDSON, of Tlinols, presented to the Com- mittee on Resolutions a series of resolutions, which were referred without reading. WORKINGMEN’S CONVENTION. General MorGas, of Ohio, moved that a delegation from the Workingmen‘’s Convention be invited to | seats on the floor, which was agreed to. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.

RULES AND REGULATIONS, OF THs CONVENTION OF The committee recommend that the rules and regulations of the Democratic Convention of 1864 be adopted by this Convention for the government of its proceedings ¥ iis HEISTER CLYMER, Ohairman. Wiuttam R. Morrison, Secretary, QUESTION OF ORDER, Genera! McCook, of Ohio—I move the acceptance of the report and the discharge of the committee. Mr. Wairs, of Maryland—I desire to ask the chalr- man of the committee whether the adoption of their report will require for the nomination of the candi- dates for President and Vice President two-thirds of the votes that must be cast in the electoral college, or whether two-thirds of the votes cast in this Con- vention will be sufficient to nominate the candidates ? The reason I make for this interrogatory is this:—I observed on Saturday last that some of the States represented on this floor cast no votes on the ques- tion which arose in our temporary organization. When we come to vote for candidates for President and Vice President the same States may with- hold thelr votes, and consequently it will take a@ much larger vote to make two-thirds of the votes in the electoral college than if the rule applied to the votes cast in this Convention. In 1832 the rule was that it required two-thirds of the votes cast in the Convention; but, if I remember correctly, at Charleston the rule was qualified so as to require two-thirds of the votes cast in the electoral college. I want to know, therefore, so that we can vote intel- ligently, whether, if we adopt in their entirety the rules of the Chicago Convention m 1865, the candi- dates must receive two-thirds of the electoral vote or only two-thirds of the vote cast in the Convention? The CnamrMan—Phe~ Chair is of opinion that the merits of the report are not now under considera- tion, ‘The question is whether the report shall be accepted and the committee discharged. The question was put on accepting the report and discharging the Committee, and it was declared carried. ‘The CHAIRMAN announced the question to be upon the adoption of the report of the Committee on Or- ganization. CONFUSION IN THE HALL, A DELEGATE from Wiscousin—Before the vote is taken i desire to say that we can see nothing and hear nothing. Will the Chair have the goodness to request that everybody be kept in his seat? ‘The CuarmmMaN—The Chair will direct the Sergeant- at-Armas to see that the aisles be kept clear, that the members of the Convention remain in their seats and that order is preserved, ‘The question was put on the adoption of the re- COMMITTRE ON RESOLUTIONS.

(Cheers.) to meet assertions in the resolutions put forth by the late Republican Convention. 1 aver there is not m this body one man who has it in his heart to excite go much of angry feeling against the republican party as must be stirred up in the minds of those who read these deciarations in the light of recent events an‘ m view of the condition of our country, In the first place they congratulate the perplexed man of jusiness, the burdeaed taxpayer, the laborer, whose hours of toil are lengthened out by the grow- ing costs of the necessaries of life, ee success of that reconstruction policy which brought all these evils upon them i the cost of its military des- potism and the ion of its bureau agen- cies, In one resolution they denounce all forms of dination a8 ® national crime, Then why did they pot a the statnte books of the nation the laws which Invite the citi- zens who borrow — to force oe are to take debased paper and thus wrong him @ large shage of ins claim, in violation of the most solemn compact?

(Applause.) Again they say, ft is due to the laborers of the nation that taxation should be equalized, ‘Then why did they make taxation unequal? Beyond the Injustice of making one class of citizens pay for another the shares of costs of schools, of roads and of the local laws, whieh protected their lives and property, itwas an unwise and hurtful thing. (Cheers.) It sunk the credit of the country, as un- usual terms, always hurtfal to the credit of the borrower, do. They also declare the best policy to diminish our burden of debt 18 so to improve our credit that capitalists wiil seek to loan us money at jower rates of interest than we now pay, and must continue to pay so tong as repudia- tion—partial, total, open or covert—ts threat. ened or suspected.

(Applause.)

The time was when we could not only invite Europeans to share with us the materia! bless- ings of our great country, but could tell are i ae ton more than that—we ‘We only marked out the powers of government, but with anxious care se- | cared to the humbicst man the rights of property, of ; Person and of conscience, Is ‘ation encour- aged by trampling that constitution in the dust, treating it with contempt, shackling the judiciary, bey poms: or yd Executive and giving the world to understand that the it tees of political and social rights are ed? (Great lause>) But the crowning indictment against the follies and crimes of those in power 1s in these words:—“That we re the great princi laid down in the immortal Declaration of Independence as the true foundation of democratic government, and we hail with gladness every effort towards making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil.” If, within the limits of ten tes of this Union, an American citizen, stung by a sense of his wron; should publicly and truthfully denounce the men in power because in the very language of this Declara- ion of Independence they have erected a multiiude of new oitices and sent hither a swarm of officers to Imrass our pene and eat out their substance, he would in all human probability be dragyed to a pri- son, or if, in the indignant lal age of our fathers, he should exclaim, “they have affected to render the military lependent of or superior to the civil power, they abotished the free system of Eng- ish laws and established there an arbitrary govern- ment’’—for the offence of asserting these principles he would be tried and punished by a military tribunal, (Great cheering.) Having declared that the princi- pies of the Declaration of Independence should be made a “living reality on every thch of American soil they put in nomination a milltary chieftain who stands at the head of that system of despotism that | crushed bencati its fect the principle of the Declara- tion of Independence. (Cheers,) ‘fo-day, in some States, it is Meld by military orders to be a crime to speak out the indignation and contempt which burn within the bosoms of patriotic men, If to morrow a military order sould be put forth in that state where the ashes of Wasiington are entombed that it should | be an offence to declare that (he military should ever | be subordinate to the civil autiority, to speak out tie sentiment that it was a disgrace to our country to let hordes of officials eat up the sub- stance of the people, he who uttered these words could be aragged to prison from the very grave where lie the remains of the author of the Declaration of Independence. (Loud cheers.) From this outrage there could be no appeal to the courts, and the republican candidate for the Prest- dency has accepted a position which makes the rights and liberties of a large share of our people dependent upon his will, (Applause.) In view of these things cau there be one man in this Conven- tion who can let a personal ambition, a passion, a prejudice turn him aside one hair's breadth in his efforts to wipe off the wrongs and outrages which disgrace our country? (Cheer Can there be one man whose heart is so dead to all that is great and noble in patriotism that be will not giadly sacrifice all other things for the sake of bis country, its liberties and its greatness? Can we sufler any prejudices growing out of past differen of opinion to hinder us wWuting now with all wh will act with us to save our couatry? (Cheers) We meet to-day to see what measures can be taken to avert the dangers which threaten our country and to relieve it from the evils and burdens resulting from bad government and unwise counsels, [ thank God that the strife of arms has ceased, and that once more in the great conventions of our party we can call through the whole roll of states and find men to answer to cach. Time and events in the great cycles have brought us to this spot to renew and reinvi- gorate that constitutional government which nearly eighty years ago was inaugurated in this city. (Loud cheers.) It was here that George Washington, the first President, swore to “preserve, protect and defend’? the constitution these United States, (Cheers.) And here, this day, we as solemply pledge ouracives to uphold the rights and liberties of ihe American people. Then, as now, a great war which had desolatca our land had ceased. Then, as now, there was in every patriotic breayt a longing for the biessi: of good government, for the protection of la and for sen- tunents of fraternal regard and aMiction among the inhabitants of all the states of this Union, When our government, in 1789, was inaugurated in this city there were glad processions of inen, and those manifestations of great joy which a people show when they fcel that an event has happened which is to give lasting biess:ngs to the land.
