THE CONVENTION. When the political history of the Administra tion of Andrew Jfhnon comes to be written calmly and dispassionately, the measures and principles by the adoption of whbh he and the Nutional Conrc-a were curried in opposite ani conflicting directions will form a subiect of absorbing and almost romantic interest. At the present day, however, it is almost impossible to deal with this grave subject without viewing it from one's individual stand-point of bias and prejudice. Yet in the following article we purpone to make a simple and can iid statement of the facts, the prime object of which .-hall be to impart to the public gome slight knowledge ot the character and object of the men who are to assemble in our midst on Tuesday next. THE ORIGIN OF TUB CONVENTION is involved in no mystery, altuoueh it Is embar rassed by a great deal of confusion. It had Its inception far back in the recent session ot Congress, Almost from the opening of the session it became evident that there would be a disagreement between the controlling malonty and the President upon most of the questions ailecting the vi'al Interests of the country. The speech of the22d of February, and the successive vetoes of the greedmen'e Bureau and Civil Bights bills widened and confirmed the breach. Mr. Johnson succeeded, even in Congress, In carrying with him or retaining with htm. If that comes nearer the truth, as is claimed a number ot Republican members of decided ability and unquestioned patrlo im. These nieu were naturally thrown into each othr's coun sel.' For ibe purpose of bring ng system Into their deliberations, and to make an energetic attempt at prosely ism, they formed themselves info an association which assumed the name of the "National Union Club." The Hon. A. W RuuohII, of Wisconsin, th' n the Assistant Post 11 aster General, became it Presi Jen1, and re cognized leadtr ou'Hlile the hulls of Cousjre's. About the same time another association was foimcd in Wafhln"ton under the title of the " National Union Johnson Club," in which the leading spirits wete Montgomery Hlalr: the lion. Charles Miison, of Ohio; Charles Kuap an 1 Ward II. Lamon, of Washington; aud Colonel Thomas B. Florence, of Plula lelpbia. Most of the mtmbers of this new asociation were of Democratic antecedents, although there was a sliuht sprinkliLg ot Republicans among their number. These two associations worked together in harmony, but without any special attempt a co-operation, for so.iie months. The lending object ot both, as a matter of cotir;e, was to gain a controlling iulluenco In the political pu'ronaee of the Admirl-trai 'on, and at the same time to prepare the way for the founda tion 4 of a nt-w nation 'i 1 organization, which shou'd, through this pat'onage and the support of the masses or the people, henceforth control the destinies of the rcucUc. For the better and more speedy accoranlisb ment of these grand objects, they dually deter mined to unite their numbers and energies. The name of ''National Uniou Club" belug that of tbt association first organize.', it wa retained as the title of the new one. The following gen tlemen were elected: (tflictrn of the National Uulon Clalt. TRKFI DENT. Hon. Alexunder W. Itandull, of Wisconsin. VICE PRESIDENTS. Hon. W. F. Johnston, of Pennsylvania. l.on. L. S.

It being necessary for the object iu vi;-w that they should tiiKe an unequivocal and undis guised position belore tne world, the lollOAiug series ol resolutions were adopted as the PLATFORM OP THE NATIuNAL UNION CLUB. 1. Iiesolwd, That we ure now, as heretofore, aruentlj attached to the uniou of the Siutea ui.uer the Constitution of cue United 8 ates; thai we tieuy the rifiht ol auy Siato to recede, ami hulu unit a'l attempts at secession are null uud void; that all the Stale are now S!aie9 oi thi-. Union, as betoie the Rebellion, and wedeuv the powei of tne General Government, under the Constitution, to exclude a State from the lln.oii, or govern it as a Teintorv. 2. hmotvtd, That our couudcLeo in the ability, miefiiity, putiiolism, and statesmanship oi President Johuson is undiminished, aud wo cor dially npiuove the general policy ol hisadramis trat.on. 3. Jitso'vi'il, That we indorse the resolution oi Congress ot July, 18U1, declaring the ohiect ol the war on our part 10 be the defense and ma.iiiciiai'ce ot the supremacy ot the Constitu tion ai.d the preservation ol the Uuiou, with the difiuity, equality, aud ilghti of the several 8iatcb uijiuipuiteo. 4. Jitsoimd, That in the lunguage of the Clu cneo Plat orm ol 18ti0, and as quoted by the late President Lincoln in his tirst in tuuural address "Tne maintenance inviolate of the riguts ot the States, aud especially of the right of tach btate to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own tudj; nient exclusively, subject only to th Constitu tion of the United States, is essential to that balance of power on which the perlection and eniiuiunce ol our political tabnu depend". 6. Ixesolved, That under the Constitu'ion of the United States is reserved to the several States the light to prescribe the qualifications of elec tors therein, aud that it would be stioversive ol the principles of our Government for Congres9 to torce universal sutlrage upon auy poitiou of the country in opposition to tiie known wishes ol the ciii.eus thereof. 6 Besoived, "l'hut the Union must be and remain one and imlivisible for ever;" that the war lor its preservation having been brought to a triumphant close, and ton supremacy of the Constitution vindicated, the rights' of the Sta'es under the Constitution are to be maintained inviolate; and that loyal citizens within the States and districts lately overrun by rebellion are entitled to all the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution. 7. Hesolved, That all the States of the Union are entitled by tne Constitution of the United States to representation in thp councils ot tin nation, and that all loal members duly elected anureturned, haviuu the reqiii.skequalitloations as prescribed by law. should be admitted to their scuts in Congress without any unnecessary delay by their respective Houses, each House being the judge of the election returns and qualifications or its members. 8. Kesoiced, That treason is a crime which should be punished, aud that we arc opposed to compromising with traitors by bartering "iinivertai amnrst.y" lor "universal 'sutlrage." tt. Jiesolved, That the payinput of the national debt is a sacred oMieation never to be repu It ated; aim that no debt or obligation incurred in anv manuer whatever iu aid of treason or rehellion should ever be assumed or paid. 10. htsoifd. That we cordially endorse tbt restoration policy of President JohiiBon as wise, patriotic, const tutioiial. aud iu hannony. with the loyal sentiment aud purpose of the people in the suppression ot the Rebellion; with the plaiiorir. uponwhich he was elected, with the declared uolicv ot the la'e President Lincoln. the action of Congress, and the pledge given durmg the war. 11. henolved, That the nation owes a lasting debt of pratitude to the soldiers and Bailors or the late war, tor the suppression ot the Rebel lion, and that the lamdios ot the fallen heroes who died that the country might live, are the wards of the people, and should do cared lor by tne uovernment. The machinery having thus been brought into good working order, the Executive Committee of the Club on the 25th of June isducd THB CALL FOR THE CONVENTION, which was to lay the foundation and perfect the structure of the now Na tional party. The call thus Issued read as follows: A National Union Convention, of at least two delegates from each Congressional district of all the. States, two irom eaen Territory, iwo iroin the District of Columbia, and tour delegates at laig" irom each Stat", will be held at the city of Philadelphia, on the second Tuesday (Htojot August next. Si.ch delegates wiu bo chosen by the electors ol the fcveral States who sustain the Ad:nin'strn t on in maintaining unbroken the Union of the 8 ates, under the Constitution wnic- our fathers established, and who agree in the lollowing propositions, viz.: The Union of the 8Nt"H is, in ever? case, indissoluble, and is perpetual; and the Consti tution ot ihe United p a ts, and tue lis passed bv CongTess in pursuance thereot, supreme and constaut, and universal in their obligations The riffhK the olguitv. and the etiunlltv of the States in the Union, including the right of repre enlation in Congress, ate solemnly guarantied bv that Constitution, to save viiich irom overthrow "-o ranch blood and treasure were expended In the late civil war. There is no rieht. anywhere, to dissolve Ihe Union, or to separate State.i from the Union, either by voluntary withdrawal, bv "orco of arms, or oy i;onarefioiiai action, nenner oy the secession ot the States, nor bv the exclusion oi their loyal and qualttied representatives, nor by the Natioual Government in auy other torm. Slavery is abolished, and neithe" can nor ou,iht to be re esiabllshed in anv tde o: Terri tory wittdii our juris lic.ion. tnch State has the undoubted right to pre senile the quiiliticaiions ot its ou electors, and no external power riirhtfully can, or ought to, dictate, coutrol. or lnlluence the tree ana volun tary action ot the States iu iho exercise ol that riuht. The n.aintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially ot the riht of each State to ord r and coutrol its own domestic coucerns, according to its own ludgiueni exclusively, sub lect only to the Constitution of the United Mates, is essential to that balance ot power uu wli.ch the perfection aud endurance of our pilitcal la'oric depend, aud the over.hrov of that sjeteni by the usurpation and centraliza tion oi power in Congress would be a revolution, i.anperous to republican government aud de stiiii tivi of liberty. huch House ol Congress is made, by the Con stitution, the sole judge ol the election returns, and qualification.-o' its members; but the exclu sion ol 10 al Senators and Representatives, pro perly chnsen and qualified, under the Constitu tion and las, is unjust and revolutionary. Every patriot should iron upon ail those acts ami proceedings, everywhere, which serve no other purpose than to rekindle the uniinosi lies ot wai, and the eti'ec ot which upon our moral, so'-lal, and material interests at home, and upon our standing abroad, dillcriug ouly iu ueuree, is injurious 1 ke war itself. The purpose of the war having been to pre serve the Union and the Constitution by putting down the Rebellion, and the Kebell.on having been suppressed, all resistance to the authority ot the General Government being at an eud. and the war having ceased, war measures should iilso cease, and should be followed by measures ot peacetul administration, so that union, har mony, and concord may be encouraged, and industry, commerce, and' the arts of peuee re vived aud pruu-oted; and the early restoration ol all the States to the exercise of their consn nit oual powers iu the National Go em inent is indispensably necessary to t:io strength and the dc'cusu of tlio republic, and iO the maintenance ot the public credit. All such electors in the thirty-six states and ine Territones of the Uui'ed' Stutes, and in lie District of Columbia, who in a spirit ot patriotism and love lor the Union can rise above personal aud sectioual considera tions, and who acsire to see a truly Na t'onal Convention', which shall represent all the States uud Territories ol the Union, assemble as tiiends and brothers, under the na ioual tlaer, to hold counsel together upon the state ottl.e Union, and to take nica-ures to avert possible danger Irom the same, are spe c daily requested to take part iu tne ch ico of such delegates. But no delegate will take a peat in such Con vention who does not loyally accupt the national situa ion and cordially endor-'e the principles above feet forth, aud who is not at tached in true allegiance to the Constitution, the Union, aud the Government ot the United states. vAsniNUT0N, June 25, 1RGG. A. W. Randall, Prest.,1 J; R; Doolittlh, Execntive O. II. RROWMNO, U omuiiuee oi th UDUAR COWAN, Nutioual Union Cbart.es Knap, I c'lub- Samuel' Fowler. j When the call had been made public, the work ot preparing the country for tue proper response to it was commenced in thorough earnestness. Mr. Randall was the leader in this par. of the labor, his position as a superio officer iu the general Post Office affor ling him unusual opportunities in this respect. At his bidding the whole country wa9 deluged with ciiculars aud platforms, aud nearly every ollice-holder under the Federal Govern ment was in this way urged to take part in the new movement. "National Union John son Clubs" sprang up almost iu every county iu the jQnion. The Democratic party, as a party, nl-o went into the movement with all Its re viving energy, its leaders tondly hoping that the day1 of their resurrection from the political grave was near at hand. j THE PART TAKEN BY PHILADELPHIA has not been a secondary one. Inasmuch as the Convention itsell was to assemble in our midst, the hiends of Mr. Johnson, whether Democratic or Republican, thought it behooved them to make special efforts ia the cause of their adop tion. The Democratic Ofuanlzations of this city and State went over to the Convention with out a moment's parleying. The fiiends of the President who have not kept them company for the past few year-, organized themselves into "Natioual Union Johnson Clubs." The Club, of which Heury Simons, Esq., is President, has taken tne lead among the city organizations. Its Executive Committee con pists ot the following: Chairman J. R. Flanigen. Secretary S. S. Leldy. Treasurer W, Eckfeldt. Chairman of the Finance Committee II. R. gshalL These gentlemen, a'fer mature deliberation aud a careful examination of the dlifercnt pub lic buildings In the citv, came to tho conclusion that there was not a single audience room whtch was capable of seating the multitude of dele gates and spectators who would wish to attend the sittincs of the Convention. Under tneie circumstances, they determined upon the erec tion of a building for the espec'.al accommoda tion of this monstrous gathering of the political claus. They went to work with a will, and ty diligent labor h ave succeeded to raising enough money to dot ray the expenses of the undertaking. THE WIGWAM. The building in which the Convention is to assemble Is termed a "Wigwam." Since 18G0 political wigwams have beon all the rage. In that year the first one ot this description was erected In Chicago for the accommodation of the convention which first placed Mr. Llncola in nomination. It was and is a homely locking structure, although, unlike the wigwa ns of later days, It was built with a view to permanence, and still remains Intact. It has since been turned into stores and warehouses, and is ued for every imaginable purpose. Such is tb. fate of permanent wigwams. The second Chicago Wigwam, in which Gene ral McClellan received his nomination to the Presidency, was somewhat larger In proportion; but having been constructed of material in the rough, it was demolished about the time that the great master ol inactivity himself suffered a similar fate. The Philadelphia Wigwam is intended to be THE WIGWAM PAR EXCELLENCE. It is located on the south side of Girard ave nue, between Twentieth street and Corinthian avenue, extend ug back to a small thoruuchtirc which rejoice9 In the high-sounding title of Cambridge street. The neighborhood Is, un questionably, a bad one that is, bad for the Wigwam.' Itiuort the ou'skirta of the city, and, for nil practical purposes, uilsht as well have ben at Biddesburg or South Laurel Hill. In justice to the committee. who selected the site, however, wc will say that they did not inteud oiigiually to locate it just there. The place WHERE THE WIGWAM WAS TO HAVE UEEN wa more central, and easy of access. On the corner of Broad and Wallace streets there Is a vucant block which forms a part of the Wistar estate. Dr. Jauscn, of skiting fame, is the lessee of this eligible piece of ground. Iu the winter season he uses it as a skating park. During the summer he sub-lets it to a base-ball club. The Committee on the Wigwam reconnoitred the skating park in force, and concluded to bidH their Wigwam upon it. The decision was a wise one, and had the Committee been equally wise in their negotiations, all would have been well. But instead of consulting Dr. Jansen on the subiect, they consulted the officials of the base-ball club. These youths were highly Hat tered by such a show of deference, and struck the bargain without a moment's hesitation. So the contract having beeu awarded for the con si ruction of the building, the agent of the con tractor visited the spot ou the morning of the 2(ithofJuly. He was accompanied by several laborers, who, with hatchet and shovel, were picpared to inaugurate the great work. A crowd, .as is customary on such momentous occasions, was prcsont to witness the ceremony, In the meantime Dr. Jansen bad made a li covery. He had discovered that his skating park was to bo honored by the presence of the great Wigwam. After daliberat.ng upon the siibiect. he concluded that he bad inaur.uouut aid" objcctioDS to this high distinction. So he sin d out a warrant, upon which iho contractor's aeent and two or three oi his laborers were taken bnfore Alderman Massey, uud by him were required togivo bonds in the sum of eigut hundred dollars each that they would hence- Ion h koep the p-.'acc. Dr. Jauscn having fully determined that under no circumstances what- e er should the lgwam be erected ai Broad and Wallace streets, he waited upon Chief ot Police Rutrtles aud demanded protection. The Chief phieed Lieutenant l.ovaire and Qiteen policemen at bis disposal, and these officials thereupon took possession of the contested ground. THE WIGWAM UNDER WAY AT LAST. It was under these trying circumstances, and iu deference to the old proverb that "time flies," that the committee fixed upjn the present location. The contract had been awarded to Mr. J. W, Colladay, who has the benefit of experience in this business. It was be that constructed the staging in Independence Square on which five thousand people were comfortably aud safely seated on the memorable Fourth of July last piist. This fact will tend greatly to assure the qualms of nervous people who are inclined to attend the sittings of the Convention. On the 30th ot July, after four invaluable day had been utterly lost to the Wigwam, the work was again commenced. From that day to this some Bixty men have been steadily hammering away at it, ai d it is confidently expected that the monstrous Btructure will be entirely com pleted by the morniug of the 14th. THE ASPECT OP THE WIGWAM is grand and imposing majestic almost. It is the largest wigwam that was ever seen or heard o), in this or any other land. It has a frontage on (iirard avenue of one hundred and lorty-slx lei t, and a depth of one hundred and sxty feet, This gives a superficial area of 23,.HiO square feet. The central portion of the roof is seventy feet iu width, and has an altitude of fifty teei, while the roof over the wings, whtch contain the galleries, Is forty feet from the pround. The Stars and Stripes will be furled from a loity flagstaff, which surmounts the highest point. The main entrance U in the centre ol the li-ont, and Is twelve feet In width. Ou either sido of this, and again at either corner, are other and narrower entrances. There are. Ave lol.y windows immediately above the muin enhance, with twelve smaller ones six on either side, six above and six below. Tne Con vention will have as miich sunlight as they can conveniently dispose of. AN INSIDE VIEW. On entering the Wigwam, the spectator will be saluted by strains of martial music. On looking about him, he will di-cover that they proceed from a platform Immediately over his head. At each hand he will dicqvcr a stair way leading to the galleries, and likewise at each of the corner entrances. The main floor has a length of one hundred and thirty feet, and a width or seventy feet. The root above all this Is supported by heavy rafters, extending from side to side. The view is thus entirely unobstructed, save by the solitary flag staff in the centre. It ts on this floor that the delegates will be seated. An effort was made to procure settees for their accommodation, but the city of Philadelphia could not furnlsa tie immense number required on such tbort notice. ror this reason the delegates will sit upon Dim benches, smoothly plained. They will not suffer from the splinters which will make rents in tbs pantaloons of the less fortunate spectators. The remainder of the building is filled up by. the galleries, the seats of which rise one above the other, in aruphithcatncal fashion, to tae number ol sixteen. It Is calculated that tho enllerics and benches toaether will afford com fortable sitting room tor at least twelve thou sand persons. At the rear of the building, ani immediately opposite the main entrance, is a raised platform for the accommodation of the President, with lower ones at either side tor the use ot the secre taiies and reporters. Un!er the galleries are several large conimittee-rooins, aud loDg open spaces tor restaurants. Thero will be plenty of lieht from the windows at the front, and a few hlu rays will, perhaps, struggle In between the boards. These chinks will likewise assist iu the matter of ventilat ou, for which purpose there are numerous apertures directly under the roof.
