The National Democratic Convention assembled at the usual hour in Tammany Hall yesterday. Prayer and the reading of the minutes of Tuesday were diapensed with, and after the reading of the names of the National Executive Committee the balloting commenced in earnest. On the seventh ballot (six having been taken yes- terday) there were nine candidates voted for, Pen- dieton standing highest with 137}, votes, Hancock neXt With 4245, and the rest coming in the following rotation:—Hendricks, Church, Packer, Andrew John- son, Doolittle, Parker and Blair. The New York delegation was then permitted to retire for consulta- tion, and on the next or eighth ballot they cast their entire vote for Hendricks, which placed him second on the list with 15 votes, Pendieton having 156}; and Hancock 2. On the ninth baliot Pendleton numberea 144, Hendricks 803¢ and Hancock 3. The tenth and eleventh ballots showed Hendricks still gaining, Pendleton dog- gedly holding his own and Hancock retrograding slightly. On the twelfth ballot Chase received @ one- half vote from a California delegate and McClellan a whole one from Tennessee. At the mention of their names great applause followed, that of Chase being ceeted with cheers that have not been equalled in enthusiasm — the proceedings. A recess was here taken for thirty minutes, On the thirteenth ballot Pendieton retrograded heavily, pumbering 1245¢ votes; Hancock gained Virginia, making him 484, votes, and Hendricks lost ground. On the fifteenth bailot the Pennsylvania delegation went over bodily to Hancock, who was now but three or four votes behind Hendricks. On the sixteenth ballot, by the aid of the Southern delegates, he topped Pendieton and took the lead, the vote standing, Hancock, 11344; Pendleton, 107}4; Henaricks, 70‘, and the rest scattering. On the seventeenth, Hendricks topped Pendleton, and fell in next to Hancock, who now Bumbered 137}. On the eighteenth valiot Hancock and Hendricks continued to gain and Pendleton to jose, the latter being reduced to 56% votes. The Convention then, without further balloting, ad- jJourned until this morning. The candidates now in Wasbington, President Johnson, General Hancock, Chief Justice Chase, and Senator Hendricks are all taking affairs quite Jewurely, although of course deeply interested, Chief Justice Chase in conversation last night stated that the platform adopted Ly the Convention is un- exceptionabie.

The Convention has lost another day in bal- loting, without any result, for email politicians | of the party, no one of whom, if nominated, | would stand the slightest chance of election. | Inthe méantiine the country is growing as thoroughly disgusted with the narrow-minded — obstinacy of the democratic leaders as they | have long been with the violence, usurpations and follies of the radicals. With remarkable unanimity the peeple have indicated their de- | sire that Chief Justice Chase, the most promi- | nent representative of constitutional civil gov- ernment, should head the conservative opposi- | tion against the military dictators and Jacobins | of Congress; and here is the Democratic Con- vention squabbling and fighting over such men as Pendleton, Hendricks, Hancock and | Church, day after day, and entirely ignoring { the popular sentiment. This absurd and dis- graceful exhibition should cease at once. | While the people, weary of misrule and in- | censed at the attempt of the radicals to reduce | an important portion of the Union to African | barbarism, are anxious to make a sweeping | political revolution next November, they are | not prepared nor will they consent to allow their honest indignation to be used to promote | the selfish schemes of corrupt partisans or to | galvanize the corpse of copperheadism. They | will prefer to trust to Grant and his no party professions, and to confine their efforts in the | approaching election to securing the return of | conservative members to the popular branch of Congress. The nomination of Chief Justice Chase by the Democratic Convention would be the signal | for an outburst of enthusiasm all over the Union which would entirely sweep away the last hope of Grant and the radicals. Woe should insist in that event upon the resignation | of General Grant and his abandonment of the | field, to spare him the mortification of an over- — whelming defeat. But the nomination of any other candidate, no matter who, would dis- appoint and outrage public sentiment, would be a virtual yielding of the contest by the democracy and would render certain Grant's election. These are undeniable facts, and should decide the action of the Convention if the delegates really desire to succeed at the polls. Ifsome such State as Ohio will come | out this morning unanimously for Chase, and | | if some such orator as Vallandigham or Pugh | | will boldly take the floor in support of his | ' nomination, the movement will assuredly be | snecessful, and the great honor of outting the | Gordian knot and making the next President of | the United States will fall to the lot of those | who thus take the lead in carrying out the wishes of the millions. The friends of Pendle- , ton who have adhered to him honorably up to | the last moment are the men who should exe- | cute this coup d'état, and it should be done to- | day. The Convention may as well adjourn and go home as to nominate any such hope- lessly unavailable man as the jailer of Mrs. | Surratt, or any such political nonentity and small edition of poor Pierce as Senator Hen- dricks, They must make their ohoice to-day between Judge Chase and ignominious defeat. Tae Next Goverxon.—Senator Henry C. Murphy, of Kings, has shown himself head and shoulders above all the ward and town | politicians of the State in his action in the | Democratic Convention, and will now beyond | question carry off the prize of the democratic | nomination for Governor, at which a number | of the smaller fry are greedily nilebling. Upon the same ticket with Chase he would offec- tually yse up Griswold, id would garry the State by seventy-five thousand majority.

Talleyrand said the use of language waa to conceal the thoughts, and the poli- ticlans of both our parties evidently think the same. When men are ignorant of the sub- jects they write or speak upon they cannot be clear, and that is the case with most of these Platform makers, particularly on the questions of finance and currency. Besides, it has be- come the habit of those even who have some knowledge to use language that may be con- veniently interpreted to mean one thing or the other, 80 a8 to confuse and humbug the people. Only statesmen grasp great politi- cal and financial gubjects and express their meaning clearly. Unfortunately, we have few such. Politicians everywhere resort to chicanery and double dealing, but nowhere is it 30 much their stock in trade as in this country. Our politiciana, having few ideas and 4 want of breadth and comprehen- | Siveness of mind, would have nothing to say if they did not leave political questions open for the purpose merely of bandying words and ventilating stale platitudes. This is exempli- | fied every day in the repetition of their dull | harangues. Itis the same with these party platforms, Apart from the recrimination and abuse of each party in the platforms there are but two ideas—negro suffrage and the finances. With regard to the finances and what is popularly termed the greenback issue the platforms are nearly alike. Both denounce repudiation and say that the debt shall be paid according to law. True, the republicans aay ‘not only ac- cording to the letter, but the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted ;” while the | demecrats say that ‘‘where the obligations of | the government do not expressly state upon their face, or the law under which they were iasued does not provide that they shall be paid | in coin, they ought in right and justice to be | paid in the lawful money of the United States.” Now this is evidently an attempt to make a distinction where there is little or no differ- ence. Both parties will act according to circumstances and interpret their plat- forms to suit oases as they arise. If we should arrive at specie payments when the five-twenties are paid payment will be made in coin by the one party as well as the other that may happen to be in power. If we should not be om a specie paying basis , when the five-twenties are redeemed no party in power would venture to pay a hundred in gold for what in the market might be worth only seventy-five. Besides, the government, like an individual, can buy up its bonds at any time at the market value without doing injus- tice to any one. This, then, is not a practical issue. The twaddle about it by the politicians ignorance and the muddle they are in on the subject. Congress is just as ignorant. A question might arise, however, in this way: the bonds having run five years and the according to law, suppose it had one or two hundred millions in the Treasury to apply to to do with the coming elections. It is the his- torical record of the two parties for the past few years, together with the character of the nominees, that will decide them, If the demo- crats should be wise in the selection of their nominees they have a fair chanée of auccess ; if not the odious record of the radicals may not prevent the perpetuation of radical rule. The New York Republican State Conyon- tien. The proceedings of the radical convention of this State which assembled at Syracuse yesterday were not calculated to inspire its party with confidence. The irrepressible row between the rival factions of this city was the principal cause for contention, and during a stormy debate which arose from a resolution being offered to appoint a committee of inves- tigation into the source of trouble two of the delegates indulged in recriminations which quite upset all dignity and decorum. They gave each other the lie and received the insult in a sweet spirit of radicalism, it is true. But their partisans on either side cheered to the echo, and spurred on, as it were, the wordy comba- tants to further exhibitions of animosity. The wind up of the whole affair was that a com- mittee was appointed, with instructions to report to the next State convention, which will be held some time during the next year. In the meantime we presume that the two radical factions in our immediate midst will continue their cat and dog fight, to the jeopardy of their party should the opposition be wise and pru- dent in presenting acceptable candidates to the people. The nominee of the convention for the office of Governor of this great State is the Hon. John A. Griswold, of Rensselaer county, a gentleman of large wealth and a member of Congress from the Fifteenth district, which he, is now representing for the third term. If the democracy should nominate a proper candidate against him he will be defeated by as large, if not a larger, majority than that by which the radicals were beaten last year. The result depends entirely upon who he will be opposed by. In most respects the entire ticket nomi- nated by the convention yesterday is ‘one whose success or defeat depends entirely upon the course to be pursued by the opposition. Negre Outbreak in the Georgia Legisiatare. The notorious mulatto lawyer from Boston named Bradley, whose incendiary harangues in Georgia have caused his arrest on more than one occasion, exhibited another proof of that purpose and gold should be at a hundred and forty, as now, would the government pay more than a hundred in legal tenders for every hundred dollar five-twenty bond? Would it pay a hundred and forty, the coin value? Or would it redeem them at the market value, say one hundred and ten, thus giving ten per cent more than the face demands if they be payable in lawful money? This question may arise; | but the politicians and would-be financiers have not understood it nor touched it. In that case the party in power, whether radical or democratic, would act according to the letter of the law and the face of the bonds. Both would act in the same way, for they could act in no other way. Both platforms are silent on forcing specie payments, which, after all, is the real question at the bottom of this issue about paying the bonds in coin or greenbacks. In fact, both parties, in and out of Congress, have found it necessary to leave the currency and specie paymente to be regulated by the laws of trade, and we are satisfied neither will venture to disturb these laws. Mr. McCulloch tried his hand at this dangerous performance, but the voice of the country and the votes of Congress stopped him. Both parties stand upon the same platform in this respect. As to taxing the bonds or the interest on them, the democrats are more explicit in favor of such a measure, while the Chicago platform rather squints the other way, but at the same time says ‘‘it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon whenever it can be done honestly.” It would require a very sharp- sighted individual to see much difference here between taxing the interest of the bonds and reducing the rate of interest thereon, notwith- standing the saving clap-trap clause about doing it honestly. But if the republican framers of the Chicago platform ever intended to express disapprobation of taxing the bonds, the republicans in Congress have abolished this plank, for they voted for taxing the in- terest ten per cent. The two platforms are singularly alike in denouncing frauds in the government and in declaring that taxation must be reduced and equalized. Both are right so far, but neither | tells us how this is to be done—neither grasps the subject nor gives us any plan—while both parties in Congress are increasing the burdens upon the people aad king taxation most unequal. On the negro question one Convention (the Democratic) thinks right and the other wrong ; but both are silent or vague in expression as to the fundamental constitutional law—the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the | constitution—which is to regulate the suffrage. The people will decide this for themselves. The democratic platform is right on the attempts of the radicals to force negro su- premacy, on the outrageoud conduct of our radical Gongresa, on the establishment of mili- tary despotism in times of peace, and on the other atrocious measures of the party; but the democrats are not blameless, for they indi- reotly and stupidly sided the radicals in many negro capacity for self-government in the Georgia Legislature yesterday. He is a “Senator” from the First district of the State, and during a debate caused by the introduc-. tion of a resolution relative to the eligibility of negroes to hold office he was unusually blasphemous and violent. This insolent mmu- latto declared that if the doctrine of ineligibility of negroes for office holding came from the “spiritual mind of God” himself his race would not submit to it. He farther warned his hearers that if the negroes were not given full and equal privileges with the whites there would be another rebellion within the next ten years, and that it would be a greater and more successful one than the last. Here, then, we .| have another outcropping of the animus of those negroes who possess sufficient influence over the masses of their race to be elected to office. It is certainly a pretty commentary upon the age we live in when the representa- tives of a half barbarous people can thus threaten their superiors. Spain in a Revolvtiouary Ferment. From Madrid we learn that Generals Dulce | and Serrano, with five other officers of equal rank, were placed under arrest a few days since, charged with conspiring with other well known military men to revolutionize the gov- ernment and place the Duke de Montpensier, brother-in-law of the Queen, on the throne. The royal duke has been “‘requested” to leave the country. It is said that the ‘4 ie" has been effectually baffled by the prompt action of Isabella’s Cabinet. ‘The truth is, they have too many military off- cers in Spain—the ‘‘ins and the outs”—for the peace and good of the country, as they manu- facture plots against and spring counterplots on each other, to the alarm of the people and detriment of the public interests. The late Marshal Narvaes is said to have declared on his deathbed, in reply to the exhortation of his confessor, that he had ‘‘no enemies to for- give,” for he “had had the last of them shot some time before.” This mode of universal reconciliation is popular with Spanish officers. A Gotpsn Opportunity Lost—In the tabling of the memorial of Miss Susan B. An- thony to the National Democratic Convention in behalf of women’s rights as an essential ele- mont of equal rights. Had the Convention boldly taken ground in behalf of suffrage to the intelligent white women of all the United States against the radical policy of universal suffrage tothe ignorant negro men of the South, they might have swept the country trom Connecticut to California upon that issue alone. The only alternative left to the Women's Rights Asso- ciation is an independent Presidential women's rights ticket. Let them try it, and they will teach both the republicans and democrats a lesson to be remembered. Muppyine THe Warer.—Marshal Niel hav- ing declared the French army in a state of complete organization for war, the Paris news- papers complain of ‘‘the menacing tone of the German press.” Where is the wolf? ‘where the lamb? In Paris or Berlin? One of them is likely to muddy the Rhine. Tae Mave Repusnoan Convention, — Governor Chamberlain, of Maine, was nomi- nated for re-election by the radical Convention which met at Portland yesterday. The State is so largely republican that it seems almost impossible for an election to go other than one way. If, however, the democratic candidate for the Presidency be the right man, we have no doubt that the radical majority will be re- duced to very small figures if not entirely overcome. The Convention passed resolutions supporting the Chicago ticket and platform and denouncing the opposition as repudia- tioniste and with endeavoring to revive the re- bellion, Grviva Ur tar Fient.—The Democratic Convention virtually gives up the fight, in playing hide and seek with the Chicago Con- gention, on the money queation and negro guf- frage, The Great Event of the Nineteenth Ceu- tury. . The war of the rebellion was a. great illus- tration of the possibilities of a political system in which the people are.theoretically and prac- tically the primary ‘power. If the time had come for setting before the world by unequivo- cal example the state and strength of a nation that had fairly made the experiment of popular institutions; Ifthe world was at last ripe to be taught the great lessons—what system of gov- ernment bes developed the wealth and power of s country end a people in peace, what sys- tem could best endure the violence of war, what system offered the greatest promise to meet every requirement of government in the Present state of civilization and knowledge— nothing could have taught it so well or have enforced the teaching with such startling ex- amples as the rebellion and the terrible war by which it was crushed out. In the history of this war we suddenly come before the Old World asa new people stepping forth from the obscurity of transatlantic isolation and im- pressing the age with new facts and new princi- ples in war and in political philosophy that spread, as the lightning moves, to the remotest and dimmest corners of Europe and of Asia, enlightening, changing, renewing the vitality of the world, lifting up the spirit of the people and giving the impulse that moves to freedom the most dissimilar races from Turkey to Japan. Very properly, in view of the effect it was to have upon the world, this war was in literal fact a contest between the past and the present—between force and thought —between the never resting progress from whigp all good must come and reactionary effort. A moiety of our social system conspired to seize the government and make it a machine to warp and pervert the growth of the nation, or, failing that, to establish a new government and or- ganize a republic based upon African slavery. For this cause the men who stood by it fought with a gallantry’ that will win the applause of aggs, indescribably splendid in all the heroic virtues of courage, energy, fortitude, resolute, unconquerable will. They also displayed the highest types of intellectual power in the genius of their generals, and the military skill, the calm reason, the ready perception, and the magnetic power of leaders like Lee, Jackson, Johnston, Hampton and the rest, found fit employment in marshalling to battle a hardy and daring people that counted no cost of blood or suffering in the struggle to win the battle they believed to be for the right. But they failed—failed only because they had to struggle against a people the same in race and spirit with themselves, but in greater numbers and better array. The North had more men and more money, Its men were of the same ancestry and the same breed, and there were more of them. Animated with the same manly virtues, the same courage, the same generous enthusiasm for the oause that was dear to their hearts, the same readiness to endure and to die for the grand idea, and led by men like Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Scho- field—men of high intellectual capacity and bred in the same school with the men who led the Southern soldiers. The Northern soldiers. finally crushed their opponents by the mere weight and succession of assault. Beaten down in such a struggle, though the Southern men lost their cause, they lost no honor as soldiers, and they made for their achievements aheroic history at which no man of generous sentiments can point the finger of reproach. And at this all should rejoice, for it is this faet of all others that now enables Southern men to come into Northern cities and stand side by side with the Northern men who sympa- thize with them on questions that now agitate the country without any feeling of, inequality or any painful sense of their failure. This is & guarantee that the anion of North and South will be as hearty, as earnest, as true in the future as ever it was in the past. Happily now these men have given up their false ideas, have renounced their error and, acting with the Northern people on all our great social and public questions, we may see the double power of the two sections, the accumu- lated energy and force of the whole American people, pushing to their solution the great great political parties that divide the country understand the true historical import of the war. Tho republicans see in it only a fact that gave votes to the negroes and in these new voters gave them a sleans to secure future power—the pitiful party view; the democrats ignore it—are afraid and ashamed to hear ite ogame. That they should feel thus is the greater pity; for did they look at it rightly— did they contemplate its full signiticance—they might rise to the true dignity of statesmen and present to the nation in the name of their candidate a rallying ground on whioh the | 'tone; Richmond, H. whole massa of the people, animated by deamo- cratic thoughts and hopes for purity and progress, could meet and act together, This would be a grander thing than to go on with their wretched little games to secure a candi- date whom they can manage but whom they cannot elect, for not a candidat of those most in favor has the remotest chance to stand up before the people against the immense popularity of General Grant. Candidates must have some other recommendation before the people besides being pledged to give all the fat offices to this or that clique of political sharpers, ALEXANDER H. Sraragys Too Precise. — The conatibutional abstractions submitted to the Demecratic Convention from Mr. A. H.

Two Platforme—Platitudes and Bus- of ahelr-ecte: Mike glatioems will have Mite ‘Tho Recent Rebéliion in the United Mtates— | " " Cémptimente “add Conttestes, On the threshold of this Presidential eon- test, which will doubtless be hotly contested, we desire our writers, reporters and corre- Spondents to remember that the Heracp plam of Aghting the campaign is not that of the party press—that offensive personalities against this man or that man, republican or demo- Crat, are not @ part of the Hera. system of ped the case on either side. There were, however, the other day, in our reportera’ reports of the Democratic Convention, some allusions to Mr. Vallandigham which were doubtless intended to be witty, but which were simply offensive. And why the reporter con- cerned should have singled out Mr, Vallan- digham of all the members of the Convention, for his pointless joke we are at a loss to imagine, inasmuch as the unoffending delegate from Ohio is everywhere the affable, conside- rate and modest gentleman. We trust that our reporters will not go out of their way to com- mit such witticisms hereafter. Again, if we are not mistaken, there have been some dis- paraging hints recently thrown out through our columns against Mr. Belmont as a politician, when, from his opening speech to this Demo- cratic Convention, it was apparent that he clearly comprehended the political situation. We dare say, too; that had he been on the Platform Committee as the member from New York he would have given us a much more explicit and satisfactory platform en the finan- cial question than has been given by Mr. Mur- phy, who is more of the strategical lawyer than the skiltul financier. But we wish it to be understood by all concerned that when dealing with individuals we prefer compliments and courtesies to personal detractions, unless the provocation be beyond all reasonable limite of forbearance, It has, indeed, been long our fixed policy to avoid the scandalous personal warfare of the party press and to teach them, by our example, the wiser course of discuss- ing the merits of opposing candidates and politicians on the great principles and political issues of the day. “Taat .Sweet Irish Brogvg.”"—By the Atlantic cable we learn that Secretary Seward has written a ‘‘sort of stiff” despatch to the British Cabinet on the subject of Fenianism ; that John Bright has landed at Limerick, Ireland, where he enjoyed an enthusiastic reception, and posted off to the interior on a visit to George Peabody, who has been on the ‘‘ould sod” for some time. Ireland is looming up and her people are likely to have ‘‘rale fun” at the next election. Mr. Peabody, who does not write as much as Mr. Seward, or talk as much as John Bright, may prove her best friend in the end. The main cause of quarrel with England has been for the reason, ‘‘The old woman had money and I had none,” and .no person can rectify that so completely as the great American philanthropist.
