On TuesiliiY next. the I'tnla lelphiu Coim-ntlon, calK-d bv the National Union Club of Washing ton cit, will muot In our city. Tlio Uandall call, w.hicta is the occasion of the ga-uerin;:, HubMantially Invited all who were In favor of the President's policy, no matter what mihti be tbclr record, to chot.c delegates to act as their if'prt'siDtarivcs. Iu acootannro with, this re iuG.it, a vaa. uuinoor of parties of diil'cror.t political complexions have appointed gentle men to ait as the expounders ot their vieivs In many State there are no less th in five di tinct dcl?2utio.is. Ttio consequence of thl multiplicity is, that the Cunveution cannot fin to be one of t'e largest, in tact the largest, lu point of numb jrj, ever called to-tuur in our CJuntiy. It i, in fact, an anomaly in our politiivil Lis tory. Wc have never belorc had a representa tive aHHcmoly, the ob)cct of which was not to make a uouiiiiution, but only to sho-v their htrongth. ltd design appears to be solely to hIiow to tlie country the number of supporters the rresideni's policy las. But we can luinlly judge from the number, as the mins-lins of dele gate will preclude ad poss-ib.!it.y of calculating the extent ot ilieir constituency. With jrre.it care and ut a (rreut cxpen-e of time nnd labjr, we have compiled a full list of the delegates into n briel biographical sketch of the record of . mich as are in uuy way k iowii. Our reaJers will appreciate ihe dikiculty when, withjut any data, two thousaud unmcs, niivnv of them perfectly unknown, arc pro sentcd, and we 8-t o it to llnd what they have done. Not only is this diversity ot names a means ot coniumnf: us, but the similarity ol names would naturally have led us to attribute aetions to sou for which they were not respon sible. We have exercised the greatest carp aa(j believe that, us far as practicable, we lay before our readtis a full list. When the Convention nit-ets the difficulty ot deciding what party will rule will be se:tled. Uutil it does we would only watc time to specu late. It Eceins impossible that Vali.anihgiiam d id Dvi, Ewiko and Vooriibes, Stei'iikn's and Vaniiwidilt, can come to a common platform on which tLey will all be willintr to stand. The eleotion of the temporary chairman rll, how ever, enabb us to speak uuderstaudingly. . Whatever maybe the influence ot this Con vention In the political world, of one thing wo' may rest perfectly well assured. It is to bo composed ot u sec of mcrr ho arc anything but neDcieut in menial calibre. The delegates whose names have lulleii uudcr our notice are niont ol ilictn men of cred'taiile reputation, and who are noted for tU"ir intelligence. We will therefore have iu our city u collection ol t.vo thousand able men, leading spirits in our coun try, and we will endeavor so to icport their doilies as will be appropriate to their n ambers and their reputation. M ho Ilnte tbe Democratic Idea t "Tub radical jarty oi ttie country is simply a congregation oi men bound together by hatred . ol the DemociHiic ideaol government, and greed lor poll iicu' honors uud emolument". .Not one ot their lender has ever enunciate,! a ne v idea that was uoi intended to uVur ule the Stales en clave i he people, and change the I oral of oar isoverument irom u republic to a dc'-poilsm. They arc e-6rniiall.y sec.ioual in all tueir aims and purposes." The abjve is decidedly cool for a pro slavery paper like the A;e. Tbe iruih is, the Republican party is the only party thut pretends even to endorse "the democratic idea of government.' Jefferson set lortu that idea in the Djclant tiou ol Independence. Let us, therefore, bring the4f,eaud its paity to the test of that doc j uicnt. "All nicn aie created cental," ws the declaration. Do the Aye and its crowd believe that? Is; they hate it with a perfect hatred. The ltcpubl cans believe it, and are labor. ng to realize it. "Aud are endowed by their Creator wUh certain inalienable rights, among wtiicb are lite, liberty, aud the pursuit ot haipiuess." Does the Age believe thut ? Does it preend to believe it? No; ou the coutray it beueves in slavery-bdieves it to be a good thing, a Divine institution. The Republicans, on the other band, believe, with Jefiekso.m, that all men have an inalienable right to iiberty. No v, a? to sectionalism, that party is national whic'a supports the tiuly national idea, and Uul pail; is sectional which supports Ideas that aro only of local or purtiul application. Our national idea is the true democratic idea of freedom aud equal rights. Tni the Republicans believe in and suppon. Tbe sectional i.ea is that of slavery and unequal ilaliN, and this the Ate aud it party believes in and Mipport. We have thus demonstrated that il is tlie party to which theJiye belongs which is bound tO' uother bv "ftuti-ed ot the democratic idea" o1 goverumeut, that desire to "eu-davo the peo' nle." aud that is "reetionul in us iiims and liurposes. Th.' mission ol the Republican party, nn the other hand, is to realize the democratic idea of government, to secure the freedom o the people, and to ptoiuote the growth of a true national leeiiug. The trouble wrb oir politicians of the Age school is that tbey aro not dem jcra.'ji at all they are aristocrats. Tuey do not believe.ln govern' nient by Vie peop'e, but simply b.v certain favored dittoes. They do not believe in the equal rurhu ot all, but merely riphts of the prioi'ecied classes. They start buck with a'aiui. wlih horror eveu, from the true democratic idea of government. Their argument- in lavor of privileged clusjeH, and of a clai-s rule, are precvely those of aris tocracy the world over. They are arraid to trust Uie j eot'te. Why the Age couldn't live a week, its whole itock in trade would be g ne, were it to cease making war upon this funda mental Idea of democratic equality. Let H have some dcoency then, and ceas to prate of demo cracy until it' has inme faith In the essential riludples of democracy, and can give them an Intelligent and unwavprtng support. ' Grauiying rrogrest ot the Pdoiflo Rail road. It is gratifying to observe the rapidity with which the tw eastern branches ot the Pacific Railroad nre being cons ructed. 80" the paisaie ot the actot CoDgiess allowing the Kansas branch to run directly west from Fort R ley, by way of the Smoky Hill valley, a generous rivalry has sprung up between that and the Nebraska branch, which bids fair to ma'erially hasten tto building of both. The Nebraska branch runs directly west from Omaha, and Is already in working order for one hundred and sixty-three n'lles Irom that point, reaching now to within twenty-debt miles ol Fort Kearney. This line is prosecuted by the Ne York, Uoston, arid Chicaco ratlroud interest, and has some of the shrewdest and most energetic railroad men in the country connected wnh it. It3 construction lias been very tapid, and the line will be com pleted to Fort Kearney by the 1st of September. The Kansas line, running west from Kansas City, at the mouth ot the Kansas river, where it connects with the Tad ,ic Railroad of Missouri, is hbeady completed to within a short distance ot Foit Riley. This 1 ne is coutr dled by the St. Loui9, Cincinnati, IUtaburg, and Philadelphia ruihoad interests. It h is the adva itase of the Ncbi w-ka line in having a more central and direct route, enabling it to control the Colorado and New Mexican trade, and iu having a tliro.igh couur ctiou with the railroad routrs east of the Missouri aud Mississippi. The Nebraska route is, as jet, without eastern lailroad connection, poods und passengers lor that route having to go uj. the Missouri river by steamboat from 3t. Joseph, or having to cross the western part of Iowa by stage. A railroad is, however, being rapidly constructed from Des Moines through western Iowa, to connect at Omaha with the Pacilic line, and when that fhall have been com pleted, the NetHMtka branch will have a full Eastern connection. The rapid progress of these lines is bringing Colorado, New Mexico, U ab, etc., daily nearer and nearer to Eastern civilization. Bivakd Taylor save, In a recent letter trom Denver, that the trip between thai place and Fort Riley will soon be male iu three da.s, and betveen Denver nnd St. Louis iu tour. The saving, too, in time and expense in the transportation of machinery lor tne mines, gooj's for the merchant-, and the wliote vast trade of the plains, will constantly oecome greater aud grpaler. There railroads are uio extruding the settle ments ot the liouticr further west. The "great American desert," winch u;ed to fig ire so largely on our school maps, has for years baoa growing less and less extensive. Over its "arid wastes" millions ot butlalo, antelope, and Other wild game are constantly roaming, aud tinding abundant pusturane. Now an ox or a cow can live wherever a bull'alo run; and we look to see, at no (lia.a'it day, the whole vast interior, Irom the Missouri river to the Rocky Mouuttin', occupied by civilized men. It will constitute the great past ral recrion of the United Sutcs, over which will roam Hocks and herds rivalling in number those ot ine ancient East. Radroads are the meat civdizei of our' day. Common schools, c'aurcties, settled and orJerly communities, all follow in their train. The 'acilic Railroad will not only connect the Atlantic and the I'acitlc Oceans, and subserve the interests ot a continental commerce, b it it willulso found vilhisres ;iud cities and Stite3 hroiiL'hout the hiiherto silent and unpeopled wastes ol the interior of our national doina'n. Long before it Is finished, Nebraska aud Colo rado aud Utnu will have been admitted; aj States into the Unioi., and will thu bind in more enduring bouds the Wet to the Eat. Hasten ou the cood work, then, aud mav the siii ill screech oi the locomotive soon startle the solitudes ol tbe great lnounta nsl Who Shall Hale? This out-and-out Copoerhead element in the ap- pioachlng Convention Is bocom ing obstreperous. It declares tbt Vallandioiiam shall attend the Convention, and that the Rebel party in Ken tucky, which has Just beiten a man rnuning on be Johnson platform, will have its representa tives there also. Read the New York Daily JTr on this topic: "Ths Rational Republican, the Washiniton city orsau of conservative republicans, savs iu i's yitteroays issue mat tne tact that Vallan rjiuiiAii hns been iab inna in Kentucky tor tbe cite ion oi Duv all makes liiin 'unfit and un qimlitied to bold a seat in the Philadelphia Convention.'

We see tnat tho Praidfnt of the Mpxican Republic bos wifely decided to retct tbe proflered si rvices of the preat 8anta Anna. It is bui a a'e and Just doc:roe never to trut a renceade. Ho mav be boneHt. but th ta should be more proof ot the lact thnu mere pro- JWJHIOU. Commencing Eaily. Tdb Conservatives aro eiideaorlng, at rather an early day, to fulBl Montoombbt Blair's throat ot civil war. A party of them on the evening of the 9th, attacked the excursion train con talning tbe IIarributg delegation, returning from tbe great republican gathering at York, as ailing It with stones and pistol shots from a corn-field. The car containing Governor Ccrtix, General Ghaut, and the ladles was Bred at repeatadlv, some of the bullets dtill rema ning in the Irame-work. Fiilna Into railroad trains was a favorite rtetbod ot warfare with the Missouri bush wht chers during the Rebellion, but we doubt its proving a very remunerative stjle of political campaigning in Pennsylvania.
