TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1884. The Convention at Baltimore. The meeting of the Convention of Union bicu, to 1)0 held in Baltimore ..to-day, at noon, will suggest to the reader something more than the mere political reflections that such occasions invariably produce. The interest of the Presidential year is lost in the all-pervading interest that attends the army and navy. We are busier in our thoughts and fears with the.'good and bravo men now arrayed against Lee on the Chickahominyy and Joiinston on the Chattahoochie, than with the keen and busy gentlemen who meet to-day to dispose of the presidency for the next four years. We do not go beyond the hounds of proper speculation when wo say that the decision of the Baltimore Convention will anticipate the decision of the nation in November, and.that whoever will be se lected as the loader of. the Union party will be accepted .as- the President 'of the United States. When we think of these things, of the battles now being fought .in Virginia, and the great battles to be still decided, it seems to us that no easier duty can he performed than flie duty of the gen-, tlemeu composing the Baltimore Conven tion. Abraham Lincoln will be renomina jed for the Presidency. We do not state this Til a spirit of prophecy, for the people have decided it, and any change or combination leading to another result would be a viola tion of the popular will. There are many good and respected Union men who oppose Mr. Lincoln, and their opposition will, possibly, he manifested in this Convention; hut the nation has tried this man—-it lias seen hint surrounded, by embarrassments that no ruler has. ever, encountered: foes' abroad and foes at home—and he has so performed his high and awful duty that men trust him, and believe that under his leadership wo shall have a happy, free, and undivided country. We do not care to ex periment in this time of trouble. We can trust the servants we have, and, when peace conics hack, we may welcome and test a new race of statesmen. The great task is the suppression of the rebellion. Abra ham Lincoln has done so well that we can * trust him to finish the job. This is the sentiment of the country, and we believe it will he the sentiment of the Convention. The nomination of Mr, Lincoln accomplished, wo . shall . have . to “adopt a platform and select a candi date lor tlio Vice Presidency. So far as the platform is concerned, we think there can be no difficulty. We ask on the- part of this Convention tlie most ra dical expression of opinion consistent with common sense , and practical statesmanship. We desire that every act of the Administration for the vigorous pro secution of the war shall be endorsed ; that it shall have credit for honesty, candor, energy, and patriotism; and that,- not withstanding mistakes have been:made, the Convention is willing to believe that the controlling idea of the. Administration has. been a desire to put down the rebellion and establish peace and union. When this is done, we wish our friends to proclaim the most .decided and ; unambiguous. policy. The ’friends of the Union, and of those who wish to see Mr. Lincoln re elect od President, are anxious' that we should fight this battle on the: boldest and most decided ground. Let it. bo proclaimed that the. war has destroyed slavery, and in the eye of the Constitution it no longer exists ; that, the flag ■of the Union army floats it floats, over free men ; that peace can never come until there is an utter extermination of the rebel lion and the .causes of the rebellion, arid that wo ask no conciliation but that which tire and steel place in. the hanchlof. con querors. We have purchased the right to •do this by three long years of war and debt and death, and the Convention will only answer the wishes of the country by affirm ing this fact and taking the boldest and highest ground. We want conscience and ■courage—neither compromise nor conserva tism. The Convention cannot speak too boldly for the country. . ..: The question of the Tice Presidency is purely a personal one, and does hot come within the scope of our discussion. What we want is a representative man—one wiiose record is as clear as that of Mr. Lincoln— who has served the country faithfully, and deserves a proper reward. If the Conven tion think that in continuing the President it would be prudent and proper to continue Mr. Hamlin as Vice President, the country will be satisfied. It is possible that, some distinguished soldier or seaman may he se lected —as a compliment to our gal lant. army and navy—although the diffi culty of selection in this case will .im pose on the Convention an arduous and ■embarrassing duty. Wo want a repre sentative man. It is not. possible, for the Convention'to strengthen the ticket by any of those expedients so often; used . by political Conventions, for the name of Mr. Lincoln has too. much . power and . strength.tp require adventitious means for increasing it. Wo should like to see, on the part of the Convention, a recognition of the great "Democratic element which has done so much to strengthen and sustain the hands ofthe Administration. This Conven tion could do no more gracious thing than to recognize the men who have sustained the country in. its time of danger and trial, especially at a sacrifice that none can feel who have not felt the power of this once great and mighty organization. These rea sons would control us if we were called upon to advise the Convention. They have a difficult and responsible duty; and we. trust that wisdom and- patriotism may so ■control their councils that our victory in November will be worthy of our cause and its glorious leader. / ■ 'Marshal Pellssier. Tlie death of such a mere soldier as Amabde Jean Jacques Pebissieb is not descrying of any extended notice. Born in 1794, lie wanted some months of comple ting his seventieth year. At the age of twenty-one he was transferred from the military college of St. Cyr to the artillery, with commission as a ■ sous-lieutenant; served during the. glorious but fatal Hun dred Days j obtained promotion and em ployment in Spain in 1833; served in Greece in 1829; and in 1830 was sent to Africa, serving in Algiers, under General . Bout.mont, ' until the failure of: his health compelled him to return to France. In 1840 lie went back to Algiers, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, won ano ther step at the Battle of Isly, and on the eighteenth of June, 1845, tar nished his name by a foul deed—the destruction of six hundred Arabs in a ca vem to which they had retreated, by burn ing fagots at the mouth. Europe cried “Shame!’’ hut the French Government took hip part, (tliongh Soui/r protested,) and tlie offleiar paper at Algiers declared that Colonel Pki.issibk had hut obeyed the orders of Marshal Bugeaud, the Com mandcr-in-Ohief. He continued to rise in rank, always displaying great physical courage, and was General of Division and Governor of Algiers at the time of JTapo leoh’s coup d’etat of December, 1851, which he at once accepted. In the Crimean Afar he displayed great bravery, and even tually succeeded Canbobebt, as Com mander-in-Chief, taking tlie .Malakoff, on September 0, 1855, and with it’ Sebastopol. For this he received a Marshal’s baton, was created Due de Malakoff and Senator, (with a pension, of $30,000,) and retired -into private life. In March, 1858, he ac cepted tlic French Embassy to England, succeeding M. Pebbignx, but displayed no ■diplomatic talent. He did not hold this •office long, hut married a handsome Spa nish lady, certainly young enough to have ■been his grand-daughter, and, soon after, in April, 1859, was sent to command the army 6f observation at Nancy, which pre vented his participating in the Italian war. Since 1801, ho was Governor-General ©f Algeria, and died “in harness." He was a hold sabrew , and thiß Bcems to haye been his chief merit. Even as a Duke, ho re tained the. rough manners of the French camp. .„ Touching, If, True. The Govrt Journal, a London paper which professes to chronicle the leading incidents of fashionable life, relates a little anecdote of Garibaldi, which, as the Ita lian proverb says, jf not true, deserves to be true. There is an abominable custom in England of giving money-presents (com monly called mils) to servants in private liousds where you take a meal or sloop. When Garibaldi / was leaving Stafford House, the residence of the Duke of Sutherland, whose guest he had been, he handed twenty pounds ($100) to the at tendant who had been appointed to wait upon him particularly, and begged that lie would do him the favor of distributing it among the servants of the house, adding an especial gratuity for the man himself. This last was respectfully but firmly de clined, with a how, and the man took the twenty golden coins down to his fellows in the servants’ hall. Presently lie returned, and laying the money down on the table before Garibaldi, assured him that all the servants wore unanimous in declining to receive money from him, as they wished him to believe that their services had been rendered out of respect and admiration, and not with the ordinary pecuniary ex pectation. What could Garibaldi do but feel that this was as high a compliment— though it emanated front what a cynic might call flunkyism—as he had been paid, in England by prince, peer, or commoner ? Commenting on General Fremont’s let ter, and its assertion that the liberty of the country is. threatened by the present Ad ministration, the Evening Post very sensi bly inquires; “ What has become of the Senate!—what of tho House of Representatives I—what or the Judiciary 1 Are they all gone, swallowed up, destroyed by the /Executive Department! Are Mr. ijlncoln, Mr. Seward, and Mr. Ohase, the grand triumvirate who have absorbed tho entire powers of the State Into themselves, as the Roman triumvirate did in the last days of the republic % It is on ly neccssary to ask such a question to show its absurdity ; such a result, so far from being actual, is not oven possible \vith a peo ple like ours, trained as they have been and anima ted as they still are, Inaideathless loveof Individual freedom. If Jefferson Davis, with an immense and infernal crew at his heels, with the resources of half the continent, will not be as we sincerely be lieve, to overturn our fundamental laws, we have little fear of Mr. /Lincoln and those of his adherents whom Gen. Fremont has eonjured into such frightful spectres. Should he be renominated at Baltimore, and a large number of people give him their votes, as they unquestionably will, we shall nevertheless expect to see the United Stated in' full career, and the inhabitants of them still enjoying the many benefactions of freedom, justice,-ana prosperity which they now possess in unexampled measure.” If the Opposition were content to oppose the usual party arguments to the Union movement, they would unquestionably be received with more respect than the mon strous. and .self-evident absurdities upon which it depends, and of which this cry of freedom ruined is an example. Theirs is the vaulting ambition which o’ericaps itself; . the accusation is too palpably false to find acceptance with the most cre dulous. The President is not a tyrant; nor can all the sophistry in the world force eveipa small part of the people to believe hira.one. .: The Pennsylvania Reserves will march iiito'Philaclelpllia this afternoon/ They re turn as conquerors. Let them have a grand reception, anti we trust some one will be found to repeat the noble welcome with which Governor Curtin , met them, yester day, at Harrisburg. THE NATIONAL UNION CONVENTION. THE PBESIDENCYL CAMIMTES FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT. THE ACTION OF DELEGATES, Secretary Chase will not Permit his Blame to he Brought Before the Convention. PREPARATIONS FOR THE MEETING [Special Despatch to The Press. 3 ■ . ■ /■■■■.’■■ B axtimorr, June 6- THE TEMPER OF THE CONVENTION. Tho Interest appears to centre around the Vice Presidency, ■ The friends of General Cameron are here in large numbers, and have been exceedingly busy in urging the claims of that statesman. It was thought that the delegation from Ohio; would favor his nomination. ,We understand that no: decision has been reached by the delegates : from that State. If .Ohio sustains General Cameron his name will be presented; if not, it is hardly possible that hisjfrlends will place hts name before , the Conven ■'tion merely for the purpose of obtaining the compli mentary vote, of Pennsylvania. Gov. Johnson, of Tennessee, is-possihly the strongest candidate, and it is very certain that.if he and Mr, Lincoln. Were not from the same section of the country, he would be nominated on the first ballot. A large body of delegates, particularly .from New England, urge the claims of Mr. .Hamlin on tho ■ground that it would be invidious to renominate Mr. Lincoln and not his Vice President. / General Dix and Hon. D. S. Dickinson are urged by friends.ixom New York and someof/theWest crh States, The real contest will be between the delegates of the East, and,the far-Western.dele gates will nominate whoever the East desires for the Vice Presidency. The name of /Major General Butler is, mentioned on the ground that it is policy do please the radi cals, by nominating a representative radical man. MISSOURI. There, are two delegations here from the State of Missouri—one represents' what is . called the conser vative, or “Claybnnk” element composed of tho friends of Gen. Blair. This delegation has, the meri of being chosen within the machinery of the Republi can party organization, and will urge their admission : on that ground. The other is composed of tlic radical or “charcoal faction,” and is said by their friends to represent more completely the wishes of the Repub lican party of the State of Missouri. Ido not know * what course the Convention will take. If the radi cals are displeased they, may go to Cleveland, and it will be difficult to reject the “ elaybanks,” without doing/ injustice to the discipline , of the party. This is'the only unpleasant issue before the Con vention. //-.'■ THE CHAIRMANSHIP. ■ Ex-Governor Dennison, of Ohio, seems to have the preference for the position of chairman of the Con vention. •• The Hon. Galuslia A./Grow’is brought forward by his friends as a candidate for chairman. REGENT ARRIVALS. Parson. Brownlow, Thurlow Weod, George W. Curtis, and William Whiting are among tho arri vals’this evening.- - SECRETARY CHASE NOT TO BE A CANDI DATE. Mr. Chase, wo are Informed, has instructed his friends not to permit his numo, under any condition, to be brought before tho Convention. This’ I have from a high delegate. .... V’-- THE THEATRE.: The 'Front-street Theatre, where the Convention is to bo held, is now fully for the accom modation of the Convention. Tho'stago.prescnts an extensive canopy of American flags, arranged in' the form of a tent, thus presenting quite a patriotic appearance, and, considering - the times, quite ap propriate. The fronts of tho boxes . are also em bellished with the old flag, in sections of two, the Union-jack being, connected and adorned with the national shield. On the centre of the upper tier is an oil painting of the. Goddess of Liberty, ; The Dress circle will be appropriated to the delegates cxelnslvely; the second tier to ladies, and the upper one to the citizens generally. That the place will be ovorerowded.ls very evident. THE OHIO DELEGATION AND THE 7th OHIO NATIONAL GUA,RD. Four o’clock this afternoon was the time fixed for the review of the 7th Regiment National Guard of Ohio. It was to have taken place in front of Bar num’s Hotel. Tho balcony was graced with a beautiful silk flag upon which the ‘following ap peared in golden letters: "Ohio is true to the Union.” On. tho. other side, wo observed the following:, “Ohio has sont 291,052 of hor gallant Eons to.the.field.” The regiment, under command dfOol. Harris, filed.up Calvert street, tho famous hand of Professor Mentor playing in admirable 6tyle that excellent marching tune, the “Soldiers’ Chorus,” so well known from tho flue performance of Blrgfeld’s Band in the opera of 11 Faust.” Tho regiment halted around the monument erected to the memory of the gallant men who fell at the bat tle of North Point, in 1812. Tito regiment wont through a few military evolutions in a truly ad mirable manner, so much so as to elicit tho plaudits of tho spectators.. SUDDEN. STORM. But just at this moment an immense array of black clouds darkened tho west, which soon burst upon tho city,'anil, after clouds of dust, a heavy and grateful shower of rain fell. This somewhat inter rupted the programme of arrangements. The Hon. Columbuß Delano, chairman of the Ohio delegation, called tho delegates together and stated that the body would move to a hall on Baltimore street, whore a repast was in waiting for the soldiers. The lino of march was takon. up, and theratooom merieed falling in torrents. It was expected that tho speech-making would take place after the storm had passed over. The lightningat times was vivid. PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION. The Pennsylvania delegation held a meeting at half past five o’clock this evening. . It Is a unit for Lincoln and Hamlin. If, liowovor, Sir. Hamlin Is not in the field, then the entire delegation will go for General Cameron. CONCLUSION. A meeting is now being hold torrent of thoGU more House, at which the Ohio Regiment is in at tendance. Speeches are being: made by distin guished gontlomon. The rain is-yet falling fast. Tbq mooting is enthusiastic. Altogether, Baltimore Is an exceedingly lively plaeo.

The cor respondence was taken from the American journals and published in the English ones as dona Th e Daily Netos, In its editorial on the advices re ceived by the steamship Cily of Washington, thinks thatthe Northhas atlastfound a general. It says: “Grant possesses military skill and moral power 4 which have hitherto been unknown on the Federal side. Even the brilliancy of Lee’s achievements does not surpass the masterly skill with which Grant has arranged the combined movement of troops from the frontifr of Georgia to the banks of the Potomac. The crushing vigor which has idirected h!s blows in the field, and the dogged tenacity which refuses to admit the necessity of retreat or the possibility of disaster, prove him to be of the right stamp. In fact, Grant has fixed his teeth in his adversary, aad with sleepless tenacity he clings to him; nor have all the efforts of Southern skiliv and all the desperate'courage of South ern chivalry, been able to shake off the sturdy North erner, or even make him relax his bold. ” ; The London Times again dwells on the increasing difficulties and dangers incurred by Grant the farther he advances, and Lee falls back on his resources. It adds: “However the war may go in Virginia, it is perfectly clear.that the hold of the Federals is loosening in the Southwest, and that even their great resources are Insufficient for the permanent occupation of a terri tory so vast as.that belonging to ihe Confederacy. ” I FRANCS, The session of the Corps Legislate will be prorogued until the 28th of May.

This system wonld be the constitution of Holstein and the, Gorman portion of Schleswig in a single State, the people to decide by universal suffrage upon the interior government they would prefer. The remainder of Schleswig would be united to the Danish monarch.” The Ducbyiof-Lunenburg was demanding a separation from Denmark, equally with Schleswig and Holstein. It wae asserted that a more warlike tone prevailed at Copenhagen, and that the Government of Deumark had resolved to recall its plenipotentiaries if the German Powers did not modify their demands. .•V' ITALY, -r 1 ■ ■ ■ Thebudgetbf last year shows a deficit of 245 millions ofllre. • Jn the debate on the war budget the strength of the Italian anny was stated Ht3SO,OOO infantry, SO batteries of artillery, and 19 regimenb* of cavalry. - LONDON MONEY MARKET.—The funds were firm; money easy, and the supply abundant.

Christian Commis sion, 11 Bank Street, Philadelphia, • Juno 6, 1864. To the Public: In this morning’s papers and in street-posters, an nouncement is made of Gift Concerts at the Assem bly Buildings, and a statement is made that “ a por tion of the proceeds is to be donated to the United States Christian Commission.” The United States Christian Commission has uni formly protested against lotteries, raffling, and every kindred thing in its name. As this “ Gift Concert” scheme appears to be essentially a lottery, the Com mission must and does earnestly protest against the use of its name to promote its success. W. 33, Boabdman, Secretary, U.
