DECORATION OF 'PIE HALL First Day's Proceedings The largphall of the Cooper Institute was densely packed/this morning In an ticipation of the meeting of the Soldiery' and Sailors' Convention tot thwhcrenina lion of candidates for President and Vice President of the Unit& States. A. large number of ladies were present mid manifested considerable Interest in the proceedings. They were admitted, together with the members of the press and delegates; by the entrance on Seventh street. The hall was handsomely and elabo rately deoorated. The platform Was hung with Anferlcan flags, and the busts of Washington, Franklin, and other rm..-monages Wers• appropriately e .. is the Mune colors. A oared the ball were representations •e badges Inflected as distinguishing marks by the different corps which par ticipated In the late war, together with the arms of the several States of the Union. Around -the walls were dia. piliyedthe "red, white and !Atari:ink:Mr, spangled' with golden stars, and- the pil lars were oovered with blue, bespangled with •white stare, while .four miniature flags floated front each to theforM of a croft,.

Etch delegation carried the bullet holed and blood stained tlaga which were borne *by them on the battle field. At this moment the appearance from the platform was grand. Each delega tion being in its appropriate place, with the American flag and the coluis of their regiments in their midst, the band play ing stirring national and other airs, awl an occasional uniform looming np and dotting the. surface, looked very hand some indeed; the heat of the we.ither, bewever, caused the boys to peel off, and soon the middle of the ball appeared a mass of coatless men, stripped to the work which was on band. And now the work began In earnest. Cheers were given with a will for M'• (Wien, Andrew Johnson, and the Union and the Constitution. The name of Sal mob P. Chase was also loudly cheered, and some groans were heard. A voice from the platform—Have yen done cheering ? . • Voloe—"No; three cheers for Horatio Seymour " Three were given with li will, and then three cheers were given each for the rank and die of the Union army, and for Cleo. B. M'Clellan. Oen. Jamie M'Quade, chairman of the NtHICIMIt Executive Committee, called the meeting to order. We come here (he said) to co-operate with the great Demo cratic party In their effort to put down the Radicalism that is now ruluing_the btuntry. He moved to nothlnate Major Oeueral John A. M'Clernand, of Illinois, es temporary chairman. (Cheering.) MAJ. MIN, JOHN A. MCLeRNAND then presented himself, and was received with most vociferous cheering. When quiet was restored, he said the honor conferred on him WEIS far above any humble merit of his, but he would en deavor to do his duty faithfully. We have met (he said) under the panoply of the Constitution, and wrier such pro tection he hotbed a ronlident presenti ment that success would attend their ef forts. To all, no matter what their pond. cal antecedents, the hatid of friendship was now presented by the Democratic soldh.rs and sailors. All are welcome to the same privileges and immunities that we claim for ograelers—even though they, might have been once oppo nents in the.. political arena or in the bloody field, We stand now where we stood du ring the war. AB we put down rebellion in the South, so will we put down despotism in the North. The seven years rule of the Radicals waa marked by war, exorbi tant taxation, unblushing corruption, Internal dopotism, suppression of civil justice, white citizetie disfranchised in the interest of black men, the allies of Radicals, lexislative bodies diVersed or alleticed, high courts muzzled, and, in a word the ocootry was on the yerge of ruin. Was this what we fought for on the bloody Heide, in the long enlist., to the weary march, that our dead bodies and mangled limbs fattened the field ? Shall this continue? (no, no.) How can we prevent It? By uniting with the De mocracy in carrying into effect the de cision they arrive at in the interest of Justice, equity and wisdom. (Loud cheers,) • Temporary secretaries were' then elected. 11VN LE , ‘ k p of Ohio, male some remarks, in which he spoke of the objects of the convention to bring about harmony between it and the Democratic Convention at Tammany 11 I r L (Cheers.) It had been said that the came there to dictate to Tammany Ha l, (no! no!) and that this Convention was a sort of side show which had no business there. With a view to disabuse the mindif of these who harbored such an opinion, he offered a preamble and resolutions which, if passed, he would move should be sent, with the oomph meats of the Convention, to that august body. He then offered the following : Whereas, During the late rebellion we took up arms on the call of our National Government. relying on the integrity of Congress in its solemn and unanimous declerstUon that the object of the war was "to defend and maintain the su premacy of the Constitution and to pre serve the Union with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several States uaimpaired, and not In any spirit of op• presaton or for any purpose of conquest or subjugation ;" and Wherein', Since the rebellion was sub dued, and the war terminated, the •itad ical party ham, by a fraudulent use of its power, end by the force of arms, in vio lation Of the Constitution, perverted the objects,for which the great battles were nought and. the victories won by the army and navy of the Union; and Because it has fraudulently and forci bly kept States out of the Union, which the army and navy fought and hooks of our comrade bled and died to keep in.

We desire only an honor able participation in the achieveMent of that -great victory of Peace, that is•to heallbe grievous wounds of war. (Great applause.) Resoltuid, That a committee of thirteen be appointed by the chair to present the foregoing preamble and resolution to the Democratic Isfation.si,Convention. A delegate suggested that the resolu— tions were premature, and that the Con vention should first permanently organ ize, and moved to table the resolutions until a permanent organization was ef fected. The motion was, after much ar gument, withdrawn, on the suggestion of other delegates, who urged that to delay adopting the preamble and resolutions 1 until permanent organization was per fected would be to postpone them until after the adoption of the platform by the Democratic National Convention. Gen. Slocum spoke of referring this and all other resolutions without de bate to a committee on resolutions. - After some desultory remarks, a reso lution prevailed that a committee of one from each State be appointed as a pet- manent organization on rules, resolu tions, credentials and finances, and one from each State to form a National exec utive oommlttee. In-the meantime the preamble and resolutions were tempo rarily withdrawn by the mover thereof. A motion was then made and adopted unanimously Inviting General Thomas Ewing, Jr., of Kansas, to address the meeting. TbaGeneral in preeentinclgunalf greeted with three cheers. He congratu lated the meeting on being the largest assemblage of soldiers ever congregated since the great Washington review. Th : war was over three years ago, the coo, federate flag Clew over neither fort or ship, the confederate uniform covered none except maimed soldiers flying un mixed to their desolate ltomeswnever was a rebellion more effectually crushed, or a cause so effectually destroyed. The rebel leaders had submitted in a spirit an .a 1An1 1 ,111 , 111, ...J nought giveneas and amnesty from a President who was a good type of he loyal Sou rh erners. (A voice—three cheers fOr An drew Johnson. Great cheering.) And what was the spirit in which the Radi cal party met this? Not with a deS;ro to restore peace, but in a spirit of pereecu lion. That party had not the wisdom or the patriotism to restore the Union. It took counsel from its fears. Knowing that It was always a minority which bad crept Into power only through a division in the Democratic party, it resolved to keep out, for party purposes, the intelli gent white, and admitted the uneducated barbarous negro,not alone to suffrage but to supremacy. The speaker then described the career of the Radical party, which he said had brought more rplu on the country them the Confederate armies, and had kept till anarchy and sup:wee:turd civil Justice longer than even the rebels did, and did more in its own acts to destroy and dis rupt the Union slid abrogate the Consti tution, than all the other planes togeth er to which the destinies of the Union had been cern unitted, had ever done. jt bed suppressed , and keeps suppressed, the right of habeas corpus, without which a republic becomett a d espotism. This moral idea party Was red by such moralists and Solons as Dan Sickles— (laughter)—and always acted upon the golden rule that it were better ninety nine innocent should be punished than that one guilty person should escape. (Laughter.) The speaker next treated of the usur pations of Congtess. -ft was a moat ri diculous argument to say that Congress had power to alter or amend the consti tution; It was the creature of the coned-. tattoo, and had 'power only under and not *beiorid or above the constitution. The General •prooestied, and In the coOrse °Ms remarks mentioned what he called the thrice. illwitrious name of - Hancock. This was the signal Itor a tremendous burst of cheering, Which was again repeated, until the s or sat down, completely overpowerederldlrthe heat. After a-few moments be prooeeded. lie Was at a lose to understand how any Americanproud of his race and'of his name could behold the process of recon struction unmoved.

One would BUppol34i from the resolutions of that Chicago Con vention that the Radical; were the true friends of the soldiers dad sailors, But the Radical rec ird for the last three years tells a different story. (Applause.) With very few exceptions, it ham been the rule with the Radical Senate to re ject all soldiers' and sailors' nominations to dill offices. Thus as foreigu Minis ters, Generale M'Clellan and Blair (cheers) have been rejected. As Collor- Lore of the Cuatoms, Generals Slocum _ ('ouch, and Curtis (cheep.) have been re jested. General Pratt was rejected as collector of internal revenee. Theme are a 'few instances the merits of which knock - personally. The officers named commanded armies, corps and divisions. ' Not a word has ever been said against the ability, integrity, bravery, or loy alty of these men. Notwithstanding -their merits, they were Ignominiously rejec)ed, and in most MP, politicians till the places which they ought to have had. In one of the cases a general Alcor ewho to-daY carries a rebel bulletin his bead, was rejected to give place to a politician who Is now in Slug Sing ,laughter and applause) antler sentence for cnmailt tins outrageous fronds In his office. It is exasperating - that men like these I have menttoned (and the Het could he much extended) should be rejected by the honorable Senate, and immaculate Callicotta (hisses) confirmed in their, stead. And yet, if I ant correctly in formed, no leas a number than over 2,0(N) soldiers and sailors of all ranks have been nominated to the Senate for civil offices and have been rejected by it. Wheri'eny soldier has been saved In this ordeal, it was "as it were bytire." The conservative men of this country to-del recogolae the fact teat the war to pre serve the Union has bad results which must be acknowledged. They alaterecog- Mee the fact that there Is now, or ought to be now, peace between the two hostile sections. (Prolonged apple tow.) The Conservatives of both parties have, since the war, acted Ina kind and conciliatory manner towards their old enemies, to whom kindness and coucilliation are as necessary as the air they breathe. On the other hand, the course of the Rauh cats has been revengeful and insulting. The dearest rights of man have been trampled upon In all their dealings with the conquered rebels, anti fudging of the future by the past, the reign of terror will last as long as,,,the Radicals rule this country. (Applause.) It is therefore our duty, fellow soldiers, to hold up the hands of the Conservatives who go into Political Convention to-day, and to bid them God-apeed in their good work. (Cheers.) They have before them the most responsible teak which has ever fallen to the lot of a vditical couventioo in this country. They are to devise means to defeat the Radical party in thy coming election. I believe that it is In their power to attain this end. (Great applause.) Let it be our part to honesty assist them to achieve success, bellevieg as we do that a continuance of Radical rule Is death to the iruitltutions of this country. Let us not be exacting or dictatorial, but ready to make Peasonable sacrifices for peace and union, and we will separate with the consciousness that we have done a good work, and that at any rate ws have Hone what- war in our power to avert or-post pone the oriels which will sooner or later Arrive If the Radical party succeed, *blob end may God avert. (A voice— " Amen." Applause.) I do not think that se,tl ought to pay much attention to mere notate" In our ussolutions. Two hundred years ago Admit* Blake said : "I{_ is not our business tJr Weddle with State affairs, but to keep foreigners from fooling us." (Laughter.) So, to-day, it is pot our business to meddle with State affairs, but to keep Bedioal politicians from fooling us. (Latighter andoheers.) The political Convention Is fully compe tent to meet all such Issues: We wish to see nominated a man Whose name will assure all r:Adler* and sailors by Its mere mention that the Nominating Con vention Is alive to all the issues presented at this day to the country, and that its , nominee is and, has been a friend to those who have imperilled their lives for the 'Union. Such a name this Convention will, as one man) indorse, W ithout such. a name we will as surely go to defeat, as with that Dame we will certainly march on to an easy victory.

Own Penni& General Franklin was then escorted to the chair by a committee and addressed the Convention as follows : Fellow Soldiers and Sailors: I thank you for this high and undeserved com pliment. Never having presided in any body regulated by parlimentary law, I shall have to claim your indulgence for • any mistakes which I may make. But I hope that no serious questions of order wilt arise. If thar do I shall decide e.om as Impartiallras l cau, and I look confidently to the fairness and Justice of the Convention loran indorsement of the decision of the chair. (Applause.) It Is, I hope, not amiss for me to give in a few words what are my ideas of the uses and dutlei of this Convention., Since the commenceinent , of this Government, se cret societies of military men who have served, have been viewed by the people with intetfee Jealousy. This view ii a natural and proper one. It is the duty • of military men in a free country, when no longer in service, to return to their I peaceful avocations (applause), and if they desire to be beard JD the civil councils of the nation, to take their places with other civitians, and by legal and usual means exert the lull uence which their positions as 'citizens give them. They have no right (anal I mean it in the broadest sense of the term) to attempt to to exercise influence or gain power from their positions as military men. (Prolonged applause.) The exer cise of such influence will in the end be. subversive of free Institutions, and will surely prepare the grave of liberty, pav ing the way for a military detpot, who will rule. this whole country wit h the sword, just as one-third of it has been ruled for the butt three years. Under the intluenoe of secret military societies, elections will in a short time become the merest farce, and Prtatortan bands will designate our Mayors, Governors rind Presidents. ( Voices—" That's so." If I am 'correct in these assertions. and I believe that history and good sense will bear cue out in them, it may be properly ahked whit we are doing here in Convention, and are not we acting precisely in the manner which I have deprecated. The question Is pertinent and must be answered. In the first place our Convention is no se cret sasociation. Next, there is now ex • luting in the Northern and Western States, and for aught I know, in die Southern States, a secret military organ ization which" LUIS • its ramifications In every corner of the laud. It is unmet ousand powerful, assumes to itself all of the patriotism which carried men into the field on our side during the rebel lion, and its objects are unknown to any outside of Lts ranks, unless we pan j edge of them by its acts. I refer to the self styled Grand-Army of the Raptlblio. ( Hisses.) Whatever may have boon the object of_the originators or this organi ..zation, and 1 will admit that it may have been a good one, I hold it to be danger. ouar to civil liberty at present, for wher ever it is.(eit !Chas for its ohdect to gain Mutest .firbr One aide indol f it t l i zi. tause pa .)
