Very lituls attention | was paid 0 the sddress. At one time Senator Heoaricks of Indians and Gen. MoCook applauded a seutiment ia it, aud at avother, when the applause was more general, Reverdy Jobu- w00, with an eye to effect, moved that the clanse be read over aud it wae reread and reapplacded. A sigh of relief was given over the Convention when the readivg coucloded, for the Dencbes were very bard and the address very long. At the special request of Samuel J.

The President’s reprosentatives here were anxious for the orgniza- tion of the National Union party, bat this tbe Domocratic leaders would not conseut to. ‘Lhey were careful to incorpo- vate the doctrine of State rights in the resolutions. Thoy say that thoeo resolutions will be adopted by every Democratic State Convention this Fall, and that the Conservative Republi- caus will thus be pledged to the support of their caudidates.

Trivave. PHILADELPHLA, Thursday, August 16, 1ro6. The threatened trouble of a split in the great bread- and-butter Convention was got rid of to-day after the Commit ee on Resolutions had been in coustant session until 2 o'clock Wundlo of mannsenjtn this morning. There was some dreadiul anxicty among the | members, - Vallandigham, Fernando Wood aud Chauncey Burr bad been to work among the Copperhead delegates, and 2ad excited some of them to commit mischief. Ouly the trick- ery aad able management of Cardinal Thurlow asd Dean Richmoud saved the swindle from explosion. It is game of buying aud selling. The Copperhieads were 5o very dungry thet when food from the Wite House was promised hem they “caved in.* The greatest excitement was over :::In‘lu of the name of the party from that of Democrat. wes wevveiv dvev fur the Copperbeads.

The loaves aud fishes fixed the whole matter.

It bas been Seward aud Jobuson feel relieved. Now Jwill ‘Gome tbe rewards. Tie Committee appoisted to zfln the address to Andrew Johoson will wait oo immediately.

There was quite a quarrel over who should go to Wasking. #on from New-York. All the bungry men bored Weed and Richmend for the bonor, knowing that the President. belng in good bamor, they can command sy office they wish. After wmuch trouble it was settled, Dean Richmoud naming Sanford . Church, and Weed his friend. Weed and Richmond look wud fool jolly. Raymosd was taken care of. He was | given the job of workisg down the resolutions from Seward and Weed's dictation, and to make him o prominest personage iu the great pow-wow he was scleoted to read the resolutions.
