IN UNION TBEREIS STREAM'S.
"In 'lnoking over the delegates to the Union
Convention which assembled in this city to-;
day, we were struck with the combincd respect),
ability and talent which composed that assem-,
blage, and the rare spirit of harmony which'
distinguished its deliberation& It was a gath
ering of men imbued with the importance oil
the times, and not merely a convention,of men
attracted to Harrisburg for the purpose of plot
ting Red counterplotting to control the patron
age of the government. Such a work was ao-,
complished by the Tory convention which die
gmeekthis city on the 4th inst., so fie as the
nomination of a pair of demagogues and trick
sters was concerned, and 'rivaas reteived for the
People's Convention of to day in put forth men
and announce principles to counteract the in.
flumes and- plans of the 'tory dough-faces, by
setting the cause of the Union fairly before the
people of Pennsylvania,

of his experience and ability, in giving force
to the principles enunciated by the eon

which those - proceedings must undoubtedly
exercise on the judgments and preference* of
the masses of the -state. Johni Rowe, than
whorls no -more incorruptible or conscientious

sent wilds occasion, counselling the convert

disgraced he organisation, was also there, with
Oen - . George M. Lamusn, and, a host of other
Union. Democrate, sternly devoted to, and un
derstanding fully the.patriotio purpose of
aiding to make the politics of Pennsylvania
sitseive the interests of the Union, instead of

friends of this officer cannot, of eourre,

may, like others, have ccabmitted mistakes;

with the most ardent and.enthusiastie devotion
