The Strange Doings at Chicago. The proceedings in the ghleago Conven tion prove the radical division in the party it represents. There is a terrible struggle among its members, who form two fac tions, which, whatever 'compromise may be in the end effected, are now as bitterly opposed to each other as either is to their common foe, the Administration: Those who support MOCIALLAdi have no enemies more determined than the "Unconditional Peace men, led by VALLANDIGHANOIARMS and Lona, and no Union man has ever de- nounced Oeneral McCLuitau as fiercely as Nr. IlAnnrs did yesterday. < Mr. HARRIS called the, probable candidate of his party a tyrant, a slave, and an assassin, and yet— And let this be borne in mind as evidence of the .astonishing lack of principle—ad- Mitted that he would vote for this assassin, tyrant, and slave, if the Convention should ileclare him its candidate. Could the de- gradation of politics be deeper ? More than this: the faction of which Mr.. HAnure is a leader succeeded yesterday , in „postpon ing the nomination, in the hope that by delay it might defeat Mclir,Faaart and elect SET3IOI7R, and yet—let this not be forgot ten—it will sustain McOLELLArt if he is chosen. So furious is the strife between the rival parties that one delegate knocks down another, and the whole authority of the President is exercised to prevent the Convention from degenerating into a. mob. Now, let no one infer frtm this that I %vhen the nomination is made the party will le divided— This might be expected if the factions were inspired by devotion to prin ciple, but theirs are lower inspirations. Whoever may be chosen the party will as -a unit sustain. 'Self-preservation will corn pelt it to unite. But, whether MCOI;ELI4N is nominated by those who are ostensibly 'for the war, .oi• EETMOVE by those uncon ditionally for peace, will make little differ ence in the ignominy of the resulting com promise. One of the factions must inevi tably surrender the creed it professes, and the whole party must be degraded by the self-evident sacrifice of principle to expedi ency. HORATTO SEYMOUR is undoubtedly the :secret choice of the majority of the dele gates, but many of his , friends hesitate to - vote for him, in the feat that he has no chance of election in November. ildeCtat lAN, if he is nominated, will be taken up as •the more popular candidate. There is no sincerity in the Convention, and little in the party. Men who care only for political success control them, and, were it possible, they would to-day schange creeds with the National Union party, because they know it to be more popular than their own. General Meaux,- LAN himself submitted to be for years the :servant of the Administration he now op poses, and conducted the war on the prin ciples it laid down, even in accordance with its anti-slavery policy. Superseded by Gen GRANT, he is willing to become the candidate of a party which declares the whole war a blunder and a crime. Governor Seymour's Speech. The speech made by HORLTIO SEYMOUR in accepting the Presidency of the Chicago Convention is characteristic of the -man and his party—not one word in denuncia tion of the rebellion, but hundreds in ha tred of the Administration. All the blood of the war, all the miseries of the country, are declared by this unscrupulous orator to be the legitimate results of the convention which nominated ABRISTrAm LINCOLN. What I Is the constitutional nomination and election of a President just cause for rebellion ? Have we fallen so low as a nation that our safety depends upon the perpetual dominion of a single party, and the submission 'of a majority to a minority ? Governor &Taman may deny the democratic principle if he chooses, and misrepresent facts as he pleases, but he will never be able to show that the election Annarram laNcom was not strictly con stitutional and the work of a majority of the American people, and afforded no pre text-.for the war into, which the defeated politicians of the South immediately plunged the country. We are astonished at the audacity of this man, who holds up as criminals the greater number of his fellow-countrymen. His ac cusation is too broad and sweeping to be credited, save by the more ignorant of his fellow-partisans. He cannot deny that the Southern leaders began this war before a aolitary act or threat endangered the least -of their rights, or that they resisted - the lawful decision of the whole coun try that AnnarrAm LENCOLN should be its President. He knows—none better— the history of the insolence of dis appointed ambition and political re yenge, and yet dares to accuse the nation of beginning its own ruin in constitu tionally exercising its free-will, and ABRA- Luzcotar of consummating it by re -fusing to be a party to the dissolution of the Union. And, with all this bitter enmi ty to the men who have defended the Union, tionsmo SP.IIOU3I has not a single word of blatne for those who clove the continent asunder to gratify the spite of the vanquish ed, or realize the dream of despots. SENt•TOR WADE has been censured by the conventions of his own county and dis trict in Ohio for his opposition to the Pre 4a•ident in conjunction with Hnmsv WINTER - Davis. One of the resolutions declares that 4, The recent attack upon the President by WADE and DAVIS IS, in our opinion, ill -timed, ill-tempered, and .111-advised, carry ., ing great and undisguised joy to - the rebel camps in the South and rebel sympathizers in the North, and productive of 'evil, and only evil, to the Union cause ; and that we feel it a duty, no less imperative than. dis agreable, _to pronounce upon that disor ganiiing manifesto our 'Unqualified disap proval and condemnation." Senator WADE has been one of the most popular men in - Ohio, and this resolution has especial Sig nificance. HOW to End the War. The great duty and advantage of making the coming draft thoroughly fruitful of re . • sults is ably illustrated in the following re 'aks of Mr. Swtrixon the correspondent of the Times now at headquarters of the Army of the Potomac. They include the _personal judgment of the Commander-in chief of the army, and, in this respect es- Tecially, deserve attention : "I am persuaded that If our armies did no more than hole their own in their present positional with tbe grip they have on the rebel armies the rebel lion must wear fusee away and die out'from sheer lack or breath, But the duty is laid upon us, not leitis In consideration for the South itself than for the honor and Integrity of the nation, and the ma terial interests of the world at large, to use swifter 11101121111 for its suppression. We all want peace, North and South; but the shortest cut to peace iS through vigorous blows at that alone which prevents peace—the armed forces still , under con. trot of the chiefs of the rebellion. Even In point of time no ambassadors could arrange terms or peace so .quickly as the mission of a fresh bun dyed thousand muskets. It is no mere poor judg ment of mine, but the authoritative utterance of the bead of all our armies, that it is to the hands of . the people to end the rebellion at a blow. Lieut. 'Gen. Grant has declared that he had now but a hundred thousand fresh men he could in fifty days do -us ad the fighting that need be dune during the war.' 'This. Is no shallow hearsay; in the authentic de. elsration of the high name given ; and the sentiment affirmed by ever y military man I have lately met. Ball that force ad ded tc Gen. Grant's own Immelli• ate army would enable him to stretch his line across to the Danville road, and positively campel the alma <tonna/at of 'Virginia; the other half would put Hood's army into the hands of Gen. Sherman. Is -there Jiving - patriotism enough left In the country .to evoke the means for so glorious a constilumattord If there were not, it might well raise the question whether such a people deserved to be saved: "This wilt be the last draft. There will be no more calk, for there will need be no more. The rein forcements it will give our armies will end the war. Mils redaction should evoke the heartiest efforts to sake it productive of the best fruits, which will be avalked when our people, coming to view It not as in arbitrary imposition of force, but a solemn call 4 id.iinty, and its elections not as a misfortune to those on Ark* they may fail, but as a sacred saying on of hinds , 'reliporia proniptly and person ally to its demands." An Unsettled Settlement. The Danish question has been settled after a fashion. The Kingdom of Den mark loseii one-third of its whole ter ritory and about two-fifths of its entire po pulation. That is, it loses the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenbourg, the population of which is over one million. The King of Denmark may think him self fortunate that the whole of his ter ritory has not been absorbed by the ra pacity of Prussia and Austria, but will do well to bear in mind - that there. is such a thing as `making two bites of a cherry—the first-partition of Poland having taken place in 1772, and the second in 1793. ln one respect he is fortunate—he is not called upon to pay more than his own share of the expenses of the war; he is al lowed to retain his navy ; • the Duchies which he loses will be chargeable with the cost of being made independent, and will be debited with their fair share of the na tional debt. They start, therefore, if we may speak figuratively, with a millstone of indebtedness around their necks. They will have to pay for their whistle. The question of sovereignty remains to be settled, and will probably lead to a mis understanding which may end in another war: Prussia, which is very grasping, wants to. form a Protestant empire in North Ger Many. Between Prussia and Holstein lie portions of Meckletnbourg Schwerin, Mecklembourg Strelitz, and the Kingdom, of Hanover, and all three are Protestant. If Prussia could only annex these two Grand Duchies and the Hanoverian King- clam, and also the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, she would gain a desirable addition of territory, and, whichls not less important, the seaboard which she wants on the North Sea and the Baltic, with a fair chance of %becoming a maritime Power. But there are two claimants for the Duchies of Schleswigand Holstein, viz: the Duke of Auguatenbourg and the Duke of Olden bourg, the latter supported by RUssia. It will be for the Federal Diet of Germany to choose between these two claimants. If the Choice be much longer delayed, Prussia may. illustrate the fable, by sWalloiving the oyster herself, and leaving the shells to the pair .of Duchy-hunters. Do this Prussia certainly will, if ever she gets a safe chance. Snugly nestled at the foot of Holstein, and between it and Mecklembourg and Hanover, is the petty Duchy of „Lauen bourg. It is a miserably small place, with a population of about 50,000. It is about the size of Montgomery county . in this State.. Small as it is, its geographical position makes it important, and it was intended to let it go with Schleswig and Holstein. .It appears, however, that Prince FREDERICK Wltzrma of Electoral Hesse has put in a claim to this Duchy of Tanen bourg, on the plea that he surrendered all title to Lauenbourg in favor of his sister, wife of the present King of. Denmark, upon.condition of the integrity of Denmark being respected. This condition having been violated, his renunciation' is to be held no longer in force, and he has formally placed his claim before the German Diet, which took it into consideration on the 4th of the,present month. The Prince, born in November, 1832, is eldest son of the Elector . of Hesse, a somewhat important Protestant fraction of the German Con federation. It is impossible to say what complications, eventually to disturb the peace of Eprope, may arise . out of these rival claims. NV.ZcSII3INO)rOW. W.tunitrivaToN, August 30, 1694 'Y OVERLAND MAIL ROUTE - - Mr. OTIs, general superintendent of the Oierland Mail route, has reached Washington, for the pu ppet) of representing to the of f icials the condition of affairs on the plains. The Sioux, Cheyennes, Ara pahoes, and Illowas, are all hoskilp, and, according to the repirt of friendly Indians, they number from 5,000 tO 8,000 Warriors. In additionto the. indiscriminate :massacre of the whites:in the moat shocking manner, they have de stroyed at least one million dollars , worth of pro-- .perty, including ',emigrant trains, and have taken 'possession of all the ranches between Sulesburg and Fort. Kearney, a distance of 200 miles, and ISO miles this way to the Big Sandy. The'wires :to the Fa.- 'el& have been cut, and emigration rendered luso. Cure, excepting in large numbers. Denver and Other Bettlemente are at pAssent, curtailed in their supplies from the States. The Indians say the country belongs to them, and that they intend to drive out the whites. This seems to be the only ar gument for their warfare. As in view of this fast con ciliation is at present out of theAuestion t and those who base the best knowledge .of.all the attendant circumstances are suggesting that General Harney be placed In command of forces, which can be very quickly sallied under him, to carry on hostilities against the Savages.

The Mew Ttitrane of Monday, in an article noting the pTogress of sentiment among the politi cians assembled there, thus speaks of hioalellan and "the price of his stoat:" • -- • • I , The Peace men last night claimed povely that McCiellan is a 'dead cock in the iolt;' that they have got him by the throat; that he may get a majority on the first formal but that he neyer can, get the two-third vote necessary to ti choice, and that be never 'will be nominated. Seymour is the rising star. Be foiled the Peace men once On a Ume when he promised, but sub. •sequently refused, to put the State of New York In armed opposition to the Geeeral Government. They deserted him for Vallandlgham, but since his arrival in this city they have been again no qaetting with him, and will no doubt be willing, upon his again setting hitheelf right with them, to give tim their support. Falling to elect their fa vorite, the Policy men will turn to Seymour as their second choice, and It would not be at all surprising were the State of New York to get the candidate. It is in her power to do so, If she manages adroitly, and who ever scented New York politicians of want of tact and management 7 The great difficulty with the MeCiellett.men is that all the big guns in the Convention are naturally at heart against an up start politician like him.

FORTUSSB 1h10241108, AupuSt 28.—The following additional particulars of the great fight on the Weldon Railroad are froth an eye-witness: The fight was commenced on. Thursday by Col. S. R Spear, 11th Pennsylvania cavalry, by making a dashing charge on therebel advance. This rebels In turn charged him. Then both forces drew off for a final charge. lint no sooner had they made their movement known than 001. Spear, who was wailing their advance, gave the order for a Canister charge, and with a yell both forces met, but oar troops were too much for the rebels, and, charging upon their Bank, We broke their lines and captured three hundred prisoners. • Our cavalry now fell back to give liancocitis gune a chance. On came the enemy, fully confident, am parently, of capturing Hancock's position, which lay alobg the railroad, and was occupied by two divisions of the 25 Corps, with twenty:guns in posi tion. They came re.pidlyfinward, charging up c lose to OUT works, but they now met a reception which proved most bloody to them, and they fell back to try it again, and again, only to meat the same bloody welcome. . Hancock's gallant troops received four successive charges from the enemy, but each time successfully repulsed them with fearful slaughter.- Gen: Han cook now opened his centre with the view of trap ping his eager foes, but, in his hurry to receive them properly, was made to bring eight of his guns to the rear, and they thus accidently fell into their possession. - Now the rebels came rushing up, sup. poeing that we were retreating, but they Boon round their mistake by. discovering Hancock's forces on their flanks. The entire rebel force now broke and ran, our troops following them up and slaughtering them fearfully, and thus ended one of the best ego. Cuted fights around Petersburg, With only two divisions, General Hancock not only held hie position but whipped the rebels badly, as the number of theirdead lying on the field clear ly proves. Oar burying parries estimated the number of their dead at three thousand. Most of their wounded wore removed, and their loss must have been very heavy. We still hold the Weldon railroad. The glenous . old 2d Corps, and their deshing leader, have won new and unfading laurels in this engagement. The rebel loss in killed and wounded on the Weldon railroad, on Thursday and Friday, was very heavy, and they were mostly left on the field.

There was a. very spi rited eavalrylight yesterday at Smithfield, or, as it Is sometimes called, Ediddieway, about seven miles from Charlestown, which proved that the enemy had not yet retreated up the valley. General Custer's brigade of cavalry, with Captain Ransom's battery of artillery, then moved across the Opequan, about a mile beyond Smithfield, for the purpose of making a reconnoissance towards Bunker's Hill. They bad proceeded about a mile when they came on the enemy's skirmish line. A poi lion of Curlier's command were dlamounted and sent in to engage them— The skirmishing lasted un til eleven o'clock, when Custer was obliged to retire across the Opequan, where he was reinforced by BeCesnola and Gibbs' brigades of cavalry, and the skirmishing was renewed with increased vigor. The enemy now sent two brigades of Infantry SCUM the Opequan, with the view of outflanking us, and Cutting off our retreat on Smithfield. In this they wore foiled, for Gen- Merril discovered their intention, and retired on Smithfield before they could accomplish their designs. Heavy skirmishing was kept up all the time we were retreating, and we inflicted considerable loss on the enemy, as our men took advantage of every commanding position, and from behind every corer, to pick off their advancing line. In the meantime General Sheridan had Ordered Ricketts , division of Infantry of the ettt Corps to proceed towards Smithfield and support the cavalry. The infantry reached a point about a mile this side of Smithfield at 5 o'clock P. ill., where they. formed a junction with the cavalry, who had grades, ally fallen back to that place, contesting every Inch of the ground. The two forces neve - united assumed the offensive, and Gen. Ricketts deployed one bri gade of his command as skirmishers, and sent theta In advance of our cavalry. An soon as the enemy discovered that they had infantry to cOntend with they rapidly withdrew, crossing the Opequan at about a o'clock. Our forces purhed them - very drawly, mid rap tured some Prisoners. Our whole loss In the affair, including killed and wounded, will not exceed 100 1 whilst that or the enemy must listve . been =oh greater,, as ~we " had the advantage of position. amongst' the killed is Dr. Bailson, medical erect( r THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1864: on Gem.

Bailey, when he was shot by one of the rebel sharpshooters, who was Rome moments before disco•. vered by Capt. Bailey to be paying partlenlaratten• Bon to the General and his staff. The reconnoissance yesterday has developed the fact, beyond a doubt, that the enemy still has a heavy force In ourfront, and It is believed that they are ocnoentrating at Bunker Hill. Clouds of dust were distinctly seen yesterday arhing from the road between Bunker Hill and Winchester, supposed to be the enemy's wagon train going up the valley.

It is rumored that his force amounts to 8,000 or 8,000 men, with twelve guns. When last heard from, they were near McMinn ville, advancing toward Murfreesboro.

TI4IIILNITANTE, THROWN INTO A PANIC NT The Memphis Argus has a long account of an ex citement in that city on the 213 d; growing out of ap prehensions of a second and Imminent attack by Forrest. Reports organs were heard in the suburbs of the city, and immediately there was a general clearing out of everybody in the vicinity Along the main street they flew, these frightened men and women, of all colors and shades of complexion, some in hacks, others afoot, whither going they could not themselves say, only answering, when questioned, "The rebels are coming." . Quickly as the alarm was given the call for troops was made by the usual signal, and forth from stores, counting-houses and wor,itshops Sped the members of the enrolled militia to the armories of the several regiments. where little time was lost by the officers le command (on the ground. early) in forming their reglinenta., and moving them to that part of the lines supposed to be under Eire. Meanwhile all the stores, banks, and offices were closed and.preparations made by .public Officers for insuring the safety of their moneys and papers, and troops were marched hurriedly forward, to the outer-ph:kat lines, where alresollyatne - firai. note of alarm a - judicious disposition of troops had been' made by the general in command, aided by his staff. Flags were heisted on many of the hospitals, and from every one of the Convalescent camps the available men were turned out, all of thorn shoul dering muskets with an alacrity not ono -w it tau than their more fortupa,t_e nn 4 health* eying coirirsdaS. Eve&Ywrete the SW - 15nd take aof ao itti tivity were visible upon the part of our command ing officers, and nothing was left undone by them that was deemed necessary by the most Judicious to secure the safety of the city. The utmost diScipline was apparent everywhere. By ten o'clock the streets were empty. ; AB the available men had In one or other of the'regular' or Improvised organhationi gone to the i front," while the ladies, who had been out shopping, Bed fast as they could, In carriages, beggies; and carry- , „ ails, to their homes. Math street wore a holiday look. there blithe but few persons visible. and these Mostly of the class utterly unfit for =Hanky or mi: litia service. On Front street and the bluff there was yet some little excitement. Rumor had spread it that there was on the Arkansas shore a large body i f guerillas, who, attracted by the shooting, were lazily lolling en the bank of the river, in an ticipation of being sent for by General Forrest, when he had ' Memphis captured. This idea, by the time It had reached the fortifications, had grown to snob proportions as to induce' a belief in Its reliability by one of the officers commanding a gun, who determined' to teat Its accuracy and at the same time see how fast the guerillas could run by droppidg a shell in that part of the neighboring State they were supposed to occupy. Accordingly, three of the screamers were sent upon the errand, eliciting, however, no re, sponse, and awaking nothing besides the echoes of the Wrest beyond. The boats at the levee--many of them well.known packets-got up steam and pushed off into the.stream, while all of the gunboats at the navy yard were "alive" with man put in readiness for any emergency that the hour might give birth to. An hour sufficed for the enacting all v e have en deavored to describe, at the end of which .messen gers irom the supposed scene of action arrived in with the gintifying intelligence that no enemy had made his appearance ; and, what watistill more ea suring, that none was in sight. The Cease was found In the fact that a number of negro soldiers returning from picket duty in the neighborhood of the Hernando road had fired off the charges in their muskets, hearing which, and supposing an at tack, other troops in the vicinity had Bred, a few straggling to the rear with the intelligence-their own suspicions worked Into fact-that Forrest was again moving upon the city with his caralry, this time greatly augmented. A cavalry force, however, sent out for the purpose by Major General Washburne, made a detour four miles from the picket lines, from the most northern to the most southern point near the °lcy, at that dis tance and, save that they came upon a little house filled 'with eight of the Gonfederate wounded of Sunday's engagement, reported that not a rebel soldier Was to be met with or heard.of. The return of this scouting party and the news they brought settled the question of an, attack upon the city, and quieted the fears of the most timid,And by eleven o'clock the excitement was all but dead, and faces for two hours rigid in a tension of fear relaxed into smiles of joy and satisfaction that " lwas as 'twas," and no rebels were near. .. Affairs on the Arkansas-4 Steamer De- The Memphle Argun of the 24th gays We learn from the of of the steamer Corti mercial that a few days alma) the guerillas; on the banks of the Arkansas, within twenty miles of Pine Bluff, captured the steamer Miller, and, atter plun dering, burned-her. It was reported at Duvall's Bluff; when the Commercial left; that a heavy force of rebels, under the noted' Gentry's Shelby and Marmaduke, were making retul_y indeed had com menced, an attack upon Pine duff, and that rein forcements had gone iorward to the garrison there frourtittle Rock.

Rochester paper says: •"A gentleman just returned from Elmira reports Ha amusing and suggestive incident that took place In connection with the transfer of rebel prisoners to 'Elmira. Last Sunday, while a train filled With the prisoners on the way to Elmira was stopping a few minutes at Oswego, quite a num ber—tome eight or ten—sympathizers with treason in that place managed to get on the cars in order to communicate with the prisoners, and distribute among them little presents of tobacco, Sc., and prove to them that they were not without friends in the North. The sympathizers became so absorbed in their Intercourse with their Southern friends as not to notice the signal for starting the trait, and before they were aware the doors were closed and under guard, and the train In motion. When it arrived in Elmira the Oswego sympathizerS were marched out with the other rebels, and, notwithstanding their expostulations, were compelled to take their quarters at Barracks No. 3, and they were still there when our informant left yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Amos Kendall piesented. a communication stating the action Of the 004.0erTatire CORYcott9nr It was read aid referred to the COMmit.tee On ROO lutions, Governor Seymour, on taking the chair, delivered the following address: GENTLE/4EN OP TIM CoNVIO.PrrOir; I cannot fOreiriet the resolutions and action of this Conven tion; but I say that every member of it loves the Union, uesires peace, and will uphold constitutional treedom. While the resolutions "and aotion'of this, Convention are of the utmost importance, there are reasons why the Democratic, party should be restored ,to power, and they are great reasons, The Demo cratic party will restore the Union, because it loves peace; it will bring - back liberty, GS our land, be cause It loves liberty; it will put down despetism, becanse it. hates the ignoble tyranny which now de grades the'Amerlean people. • Four years ago a Convention met in. thia city, when our country was peaceful, prosperous and united. Its delegates did not, mean to destrOnour -Government, to overwhelm us -with debt, or to' drench .our land with blood ; but they- were ant.' mated by intolerance and fanaticism, and blinded by an ignorance of the spirit of our institutions, the character of our people, and, the condition of our ;lend. They thought they might safely indulge their passione, and they eonaluded to do FO. •They would not heed thewarnings Of our fathers, and they did not consider_ that meddling. begets strife. T.heir pensions have brought out their natural results. They were impelled to spurn all measures of com premise. Step by step they have marched• on to 'melte from which at the outset they would have shrunk -with horror ; and even now, when war has desolated our land, has laid its heavy bnrthens upon labor, and when bankrupbsy 'and ruin Over -Imeg us, they will not • have the Union, restored except upon conditions unknown to our Uonstitu• Mile They will not let the shedding of blood cease even a little time, to see if Christian, charity or the wisdom of statesmanship may not work out a method to save our country. Nay, more than this, they will not listen to a proposal for.peace which does not offer that which title Govan:seem has no- right to ask. This Ad ministration cannot now save the 'Union if it would. It has, by its proclamations, by vindictive legis lation, and by Its displays of bate and passion, placed obstacles in its own pathway which it can net overcoine. It has hampered Its Own freedom of action 14 unconstitutionallties. It cannot be said that the failure of its policy is due to the want •of courage and eevotion on the pent of our armies. Never in the history of the, world have soldiers given up their lives more freely than have those. of the armies which have battled for the flag of our Delon in the Southern States. The world wilt hold that they have done all that armies can do, - end had = wise statesmanship secured the fruits of their victories, today there would have been peace in our land. utwhile our soldiers have desperately etruggled to carry our banners south, to the Gulled Mexico, even , now the Government declares In - the edict of a general that rebellious discontent has worked northward to the shores of the great lakes. the guaranteed rights of the people to boar arms have been trampled under foot up to the very bor ders of Canada, so that American servitude Is put in bold contrast with British liberty. This Administration thus declares to the world ithat it has no faith in the people of the States whose .votes• placed it in power. - it also admits by such an can't that these people have no faith in the Ad ministration. .While those in -power, without re morse, sacrifice the blood end treasure of our peo ple, they will not give up their own passions for the public goad. This. Union is now held asunder by military ambition. If our political troubles could be referred to peace arbitrament,. away '.firons tits contending armies in the held, our Union would be restored. the rights of the States would: be,gueranteed, the sacredness of hornet; and, persons • be again respected,: and an upright judiciary would again administer the laws of the land. Let obt the ruin of our country be charged to our sol diers. It is not due to their teachings or their fans. tielens In constant official Intercourse with them, I have Lever heart) uttered one sentiment of hatred towards the people of the South. Beyond all other men, they value the •ble esings of peace and the -vir tues of mercy, of gentleness, and charity; while those who stay at. home demand no mercy, or cha rity, or forgiveness. The bigotry of fanaticism and the intrigues of place men have made bloody pages of history of the past three years. It was a soldier upon whom our Saviour bestowed his only commen dation when he hung upon the cross, and the Pha risees mocked his sufferings. It was a. soldier alone who discovered his divinity when he heard him pour forth prayers far mercy and forgiveness for the an thers of his sufferings. This Administration cannot save this Union, but we can. Dir. Lincoln views many things above the 'Union. We put the 'fission first of all. He thinks a proclamation worth more than peace. We think the blood of our people more precious than the edicts of a President. There are no hindrances in our pathway to Union and peace. We demand no conditions for the re storation of the Union. We are shackled with no hates, no prejudices, no passions. We wish for fra ternal relationship with the people of the Sonia. We demand for them what we clemand for ourselves— full recognition of the rights of the States. We mean tbat every State on our nation's banner shall shine with one and the same lustre. in the coining election men must decide with which of the two parties into which our people are divided, they, will act. If they wish for Union they will act with the party which will hold the Union to gether. Tbey will act with that party which does now and always did love and reverence the Union. If they wish for peace, they will, act with those who sought to avert this war, or who now seek to restore good will and harmers) , among alt sectione of our. country. If they care for their rights and the sacredness of their bemes, they will act with those who havestood up to resist arbitrary arrests, despotic legislation, arid the overthrow ot the judiciarys if, upon the other hand, they sr/swilling to con tinue she present policy of the Government and condition of affairs; let them act with that organize. tion which made the present condition of our couta try. . There .are many good - men who may be led to do this by their passions and prejudices, and our: land swarms with place men who will hold upon wer with deadly grasp. But, as for us, we are resolved that the party which has made the history of our country, since its advent to power, seem like some unnatural and ter. rible dream, shall be overthrown. Four years ago it bad its birth upon ibis spot. Let us see that by our action It shall die here, where it was born. We desire Union and peaces and the Administrae tion deny us - Union and peace; for they demand conditions and exact a price which they well know will prolong the war, and the war unduly prolonged becomes disunion. Wise statesmanship can now bring this war to a close upon the terms solemnly set Writ by the Government at the outset of the contest. We are battling for the rights of those who belong to all • political organizations. We mean by these rights that free speech shall not be impeached, ale though thatright may be used to denounce us. We intend that the rights of conscience shall be pro , tested, although mistaken views of duty may turn the temples oh religion into theatres for, partisan denunciation& - :We mean that the home rights; the sacredness of the fireside, shall be respected by, those in antheritys. no matter what political views may be held by those WILD Sit beneath their roof trees. When the Democratic, party shall have gained power we shall not be leis but more tenacious upon these subjects. We have forborne much because thotre who are now -charged with the conduct of,public strains know but little about the principles of our Gevern- Ment. We were unwilling to present an appearance of factious opposition, but when we shall have gained power that official who shall violate one prineiple of la*: one single right of the humblest man in our land, shell be punished by the fall rigors of the law; ft matters not whether he sits in, the Presidential chair or holds an humbler office under our Govern- Went. We have had upon this Boor a touching and silent. cant proof 'of the folly of this ddustnistration, who have- driven from their Support thoße upon whom they chiefly leaned at the outset of the rebellion. Then their hopes, even for their own personal safe ty, 'were upon noblemen in the border States, who, under circumstances the mosttrYiug, severed family relationship and ancient associations to uphold the Begot' our country. Many of these men are now mem bers of this Convention, and- they bear impressed upon their countenances, and manifest in their pre fence, the high and generous purpose which animates them. And yet. it Is true—great God ! that it should be true!—they are stung with a- sense °nth° Injuss tice and ingratitude of the unworthy men who have instilled anti rained them and their families, and trampled on their rights by vindictive legislation, through the agency of miserable and dishonest subordinates. Gentlemen, I do &net our proceedings here will be marked by harmony, and do earnestly believe we shall be animated by the greatness of this occasion, for, in all probability, the future destiny of our eosin• try hangs upon our action. Let this consideration inspire us with the spirit of _harmony. God of our fathers, bless us now, and lift us up ' above all personal consideration , ha' us with a just idea of time great reeponsibnitiee which rest upon us, and give again to our land its Union, its peens,. and its liberty The speech of Governor Seymour was greeted with cheers. Mr. Guthrie, chairman of the Committee on Re solutions, stated that thrineveral resolutions offered to the said committee yesterday had been referred to a sub-committee, and that there was reason to ,believe that they would , be ready to report this afternoon ; and furthergeire s that there was a fair prcspect of a harmonious txMclusion. Alter some debate the Convention took a ree ' 6B ß till 4 o'clock. VTRIMOON SZSP lON The ConVention reassembled at 4 o'arook this afternoon. ! Mr. Guthrie statedthat the Committee on BeSoln : tions bad agreed, and were ready to report. The resolutions were read, as follows : Resolved; That in the future, as in the past, we a adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union, under the Constitution, as the only solid foundation of opr strength, security, and happiness as %people, and Is the framework ot the Government, equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity of ail the States, both Northern and Southern. &lot ve d, That this Convention dots explicitly de• Clare, as the tense. Of the A. 131011024 People., that after four Tears of failure to rest.,re the Lielon_by the experiment of war, c hains er Nab, under Its pin; of military riecessity, or the war-power higher than the Conitittition;ile Constitution itself has been disregarded In every part, public liberty and , pit vale MM. alike trodden down, and the material rosperity 01 th e country essentially impaired, that justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare demand that tdomedlate efforts be made for the cessation of hostilities, with a view to the ultimate convention Of all the States, or other peaceable means to the end that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal union of the States.

Resolved, That the shameful disregard of the ATl withistratlon to its duty In respect to our citizens who tow and long have been prisoners, and are now in a Suffering condition, deserves the severest repmbation, on the score alike of public and count on humanity. Resolved, That the sympathy of the Democratle party is heartily and earnestly extended to the soldiers of our army who are and have been In the field under the flux of our cquntry, and in the event of our attaining power tiler will receive all .care, protection, regard, and k ndness that the ..brave soldiers of our republic have so nobly earned. Mr. Harris, of Maryland, seconded the nomina tion of Thomai H. Seymour, and proceeded to eulo-• gize ills party services and abilities. • Mr. Harris continued as follows: One watt nominated here today who is a tyrant. [Cheers and hisses. ] He It was who first initiated the policy by which our right!' and liberties were stricken down. That man is Grge B. McClellan. [Confusion.] Maryland, which has antlered so much St the bands of that man, will not submit to his nomination in silence. Hie offe - Mout ahairhe made kmown. iThis Convention *4,lnry appointed by ibey.tertpla to pass upcutthe.merite of the public men 'libelee name would be presented for the support of ; the great.Dernodratic.party. General McClellan, I repeat, is a. tyrant, [Gnat confusion.] I stand here to indict him. A delegate. I call him to order, Idr, ZiOngi of Ohio, offered lie aA Amnndinent to 'Softie In atter the tirit inSolatiom tho Brat Kentucky resolution of 1708, drafted by Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Long submitted that now, of all others, the resolution affirming State rights ought to be re adopted and reaffirmed. The president, under the rules, decided the resells- Hone must be submitted to the Committee on Reso lutions. Mr. S. S. Ooz, of Ohio, moved the. previous ques tion. Mr. Long hoped his colleague would withdraiv his motion, as he desired to move an amendment that would place this Convention in a position favoring peace beyord mistakes of any eqtdvocal language. We should not go for any resolutions that may be cOnetrued either way by.mon of different views in the Convention: ". Mr. Cominefated upon his motion, and the previ ous. question - being ordered the resolutions were adopted with but four dissenting voicea. Ii was then - moved that the Convention-proceed to . the nomination of a candidate for the Presidency. Mr. John P. Stockton, of New Jersey, on behalf of the delegation of that State, nominated General George B. McClellan. Mr. S. S. Cox, on, behalf of a portion of Ohio, seconded tho'nomination. I Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, nominated Governor Powell, of Kentucky. Mr. Powell returned thanks to the gentleman, but he firmly believed the crisis demanded that the candidate of the party should -come from a non slaveholding State, and believing 80, he begged the gentleman, and his colleague from the gallant State of Delaware. to withdraw his name. Mr. Stewart; on behalf of the Ohio delegation, no. urinated Thomas H. Seyinonr. Mr. Wyckliffe, on behalf of a portion of the del.- gatlon from Kentucky, nominated Franklin Pierce. The President said he hoped there was no man present who would deny the right of free speech. Certainly, no Democrat would do so. At the same time,he hoped.no delegate would feel called upon to pursue a course of remarks so offensive as to Inter. fern with the harmony of the Convention. Mr. Harris read MeCiellanikorder of arrest against the Legislature of Maryland, and proceeded to com ment upon the same, but the confusion was so groat that the speaker could not be heard. Ho was un derstood to say -that all the charges of usurpation and tyranny that can be brought against Lincoln and Butler he could make and substantiate against McClellan. [Hisses, cheers, and cries of " Vote for Jeff. Davis,"] -The President wished that the Convention should come to order. There Is no attack made here but which can be made elsewhere, and the gentleman against whom these charges are being made desires that they. .sh!di be made now and here, so that -he can meet and explain them. These interrupttnis do injustice to ourselves, to the speaker, and to the distinguished gentleman against whom they are made. Let the gentleman from - Maryland have a full hearing, and afterward hear the other side from igentlemen.whp are ready and able to-make a full 'explanation Mr. Harris proceeded to say that Gen. McClellan was an assassin of State rights, an usurper of our liberties, and if nominated be Would. be • beaten everywhere, as he was at Antietam. He added that he could not go home and ask the members of the Legislature of his State to vote for such a man. He would not himself vote for him. [Hisses.] Mr. Carrigan, of Pennsylvania, raised a point of order, that the gentleman having saki that he would 'not vote for McClellan if nominated he had no right to take part in the proceedings of the Convention. The president decided that the point was well taken ; and, amid the wildest confusion, - Mr. Harris retired from the stand. Mr. Carrigan said, for many'lears the• relations between that gentleman and: himself had been of the most intimate and friendly character, but in view of the absolute necessity of preserving the mo rale of the Convention he felt bound to raiee the point of order. lie now moved thithe be allowed to proceed in order. General Morgan, of Ohio, as a fellow-soldier of McClellan, could not remain silent while the name • and fame of that distinguished general were so shamefully impugned. The charges were untrue. When the Maryland Legislature was in session at Annapolis, General Joe- Johnson, of the rebel army, was at Annapolis, and the conspiracy was formed, and certain members of the Legislature were conspirators. They intended that- the State should secede, and an ordinance of secession- was framed. Maryland was to be invaded; overwhelmed by the enemy, and taken out of the Union. What did General McClellan do l• lie simply took. the best precentions-in his power to thwart the treasOn ablesoheme, and had he not so done, he wonld•have been guilty of the vilest treason. The man who says that General McClellan is• a . tyrant does not know him. A thorough soldier, with the• gentle ness of a woman and the towage of a lion—no more amiable and kind, generous-hearted gentleman exists on the face of the earth, and no greater libel can utter than when such a man is called a. traitor. [Applause.] Mr. Eaton, of Connettlent, passed a high eulogy upon Thomas H. Seymour, but stated that his name was used here without his wish, and without the ra gout of the Connecticut delegation. Mr. Harris, of Maryland, explained that what• he had said - was that he could ■ot go before the people of Maryland and ask them or the members of the Legislature of that State to vote for Gen. McClel lan. He did not say that he would not vote for him. He held himself bound to vote-for the candidate of the Convention. .The name of Governor Powall was withdrawn. Mr. Wyokllffe withdrew thename•of Mr. Fierce. • Mr. Jones, of 'Maryland, regretted that the gen tlemen who had taken the stand in defence of Cien. McClellan' had assumed the , ground he had, and In timated that the was a collusion between the members of the Legislature and certain rebel gene rals. Had ho put iv upon ersditrible evidences, he (Mr. Jones) might have remained silent, but he COUld'not permit the Legislature of Maryland to be an rattly charged. Gen, Morgan explained that'll° intended• to say that Gen. McClellan had acted upon testimony which he regarded as creditable. Mr. Jones said that so far from beingoreditable, It has ever been pronounced by this victims of that action an uttee`falsehood. The Lieslature-had napower to pass an ordinance of secession. Those Who Were arrested demanded an Immediate trial, even. by drumhead court martial; but, instead of giving them that justice which the law guaranteed to the .pooreat among ns, they were . told that they could have their liberty only by giving their parole. Some of them, worn out by the fatigues of imprison ment, did finally give their parole, but others pro. ferred to yield their Ilvee rather than subiiiit to the humiliating jest that was required of them. This day they know not their accusers. Stift he believed McClellan was too much of a gentleman and a Christian to act as he did, except upon what be deemed creditable evidence. Mr. Holmes, of New Jersey, moved that the. de bate on the candidates be closed, and moved the previous question. liToNeill, of Illinois, on behalf or a portion or the Illinois delegation, and, as he believed, of a majority of the delegates of the great- Northwest, nominated Horatio Seymour.

BAIIRIB,PITaIL/STlC—lill'xwovicB Dorm A FELLOW Csitoeoo, August 30 —When Mr. Harris, of Maryland, was walking towards his seat after being declared out or order because of his remark Mitt if McClellan Was nominated he would not support him, a person, not a delegate, although sitting within the circle, said to him : " You ought to be turned'eut of the Convention, you d—d traitor i".• whereupon Mr., Harris turned round and knocked him" out of his chair. This incident contributed much to the general con fusion which prevailed for several minutes. To night Harris ,and Long and those who sympathise with them are making 3strenuous efforts to secure a one-third vote against Motnellan, but McCiellan , s friends are sanguine. The conciliatory and pacific course pursued by Mr. Guthrie In the Committee on Resolutions seems to meet the warm approval of the friends of McClellan, and to-night he towers up a strong candidate for the Vice Presidency.

Harris, of Maryland, made a furious onslaught against McClellan, call ing him a slave of the Administration and a tyrant, and denouncing his Maryland anemic in bitter terms.

WassamaTort, August 30.—The news from Chi cago of the great struggle in the Convention was un expected by the members of the Opposition here, and has alarmed them exceedingly, though they declare that the difficulty will be settled. They say that whatever may be the decision of the Curran tion it will be acquiesced in by all the debarateit, and that the nomination will be followed by saw nimity in its support. The Peace men argue that Gen bicOlelhan's nomination will make no differ ence to their party, on the ground that while he /con ducted the war lurdid little injury to the rebellion, and.was never SUlly.iWtified with the war polio yr They also assert tha the will 'be controlled by titte. leading men of the party, and will be punkas good - a Peace leader as they could harm _ • The Sew Pennsylvania w e Corps. HARD.I6BIIBI3, Saignat 30.—Gzuzmimary General Irwin and Quartermaster General .Reynqids have just returned from Washington City, whither they had gone to consult the Secretary of War in re ference to the equipment, sataistence, arming, and transporting the Pennsylvania Reserve Gory's, the organization of which has jest, been authorized by an act of Asseuddy., It is understood that a full arrangement has been made with the War Department to furnish these troops with the necesaarysupplies. By this arrange ment the State will not be compelled to enter the market as a - competitor with the War Department, a fact alone whieh will be a great saving to the State . Government, as the War Department will furnish all these troops need at the lowest contraot prices paid for the supplies of the United States army. itt the same thee it will not be necessary for the State to disburse any money to the Federal Government, as there Is now more than a million of dollars due' from the latter to the former. The details of. the orgardzation of the entire Re serve Corps are to be entrusted to Colonel Lemuel Todd, an otiicer•of great experience, who has been appointed Inspeator general of the corps. The ne cessary force, to constitute five regiments, as soon as recruited, will be rendezvoused at Harrisburg, where 'they will be organized, armed, and equipped, 'and then ordered to different localities along the bor der. Their quarters in these localities are to be of the very beet character ; ooden huts of ample dimen sions, and smehneccumeodations as soldiers in camp can erect. The remaining ten regiments will be filled up and organized so as to render them ready for use at the shortest possible notice. For the present it is only necessary to organise five regiments, which will be mustered into the State service for three years, to remain during that time on the border of the State, or to do duty at - such points within o its limits as the ezigenoy of future danger may render necessary. It 18 thenbjeet of Governor Curtin to render this corps not• only a credit to the military resources of the reystone State, bet a bulwark of defence against future invasion. The purpose is to fill up its ranks with recruits from veteran troops and young men between theagee of eighteeen and twenty-one. The end aimed a* in securing the service of such men is to get a force exempt from future drafts, and thus leave open to the requisition of the United States Government the almost inexhaustible military re sources.of the Commonwealth. The Irish Judges'. (From the Edinburgh Daily ReirieW,) Of thetwelve judges on the Irish bench, Judge Ball, who has been creating so much amusement on the 111 - tutster circuit by his petulance and ill-temper, stands lowest in point of legal ability. If a luckless policeman should happen to drop do o raton. or make the slightest noise in court, or a should creak unpleasantly, or a suitor blow his nose with marked resonturee, or the crier's wand fall to the ground, thejudgewakes up. like an angry bluebottle, from his drowsy quietude ; and abuses everybodyright and le ft , with a most =judicial vehemence and as perity. The newspapers are kept alive by the fan, and - the policemen are in quaking terror oi his lord ship. Gentlemen in .00urt have been known to walk out in their stocking soles, with their hootain their hands; for fear of making their exit observable to the bench;. The filth is that Judge Ball Is slightly deaf, ill tempered, and something more. An anecdote wilt explain what I mean. When the late Judge Crampton, who was a zealous total abstainer, as well as a pro-emir ent 0 went on circuit with Judge Ball, it was the saying: "Brandy and Water are on circuit this time." Ball's appointment was purely political, and bad no other recommendation in the world. There are now eight Roman Catholic judges on the Irish bencec-of whom .1 edge Ball la one—,and four Protestant Judges, namely, Christian Lefty,Fitz ' H gerald, and ayes It may be interest ing to SootOtt men to know .something of the men who hold. the highest judicial places *., s our country.
