Agreeably to a call, a convention of the ()Hi setts of Allegneny county convened yesterday at the Court House. The convention was called to order by the appointment of Jahns Tau ? Chit, Esq., of Temperanceville, President, Judge Mellen, Vice President, and Messrs. Da vid Reed and Robert Arthurs ilkoomstries. The convention was very slimly attended, not a tenth of the county boingrepresented, perhaps occasioned, in some degree, by the inclemency of the weather. On motion, a committee was appointed to prepare business for the consideration of the convention.

Let those who had the means give freely; hut let us not lay a butt hen upon the tax-payers of the county such as they could not - . bear, and which would, ere long, re-enact by • gone scenes of attempted repudiation. We were now upon our knees asking the hollers of our bonds to compromise with Us. Let us have no more of this. After many amendments and countm-unend ments had been offered and discussed with great freedom by those inside and ontside the bar— members and non-member=, the resolutions were put to a vote and pronounced carried. though there was a very decided fecal is e vote. The isme potion, upon the whole, may be con sidered a failure. No one, we presume, will be disposed to doubt the loyalt y and patriotism of the gentlemen corn poking this gathering, bow ev er mush they may regret the course they have seen fit to adopt. The ouriveutioli which assem bled a few - days since at the call of the County Commissioners was full and t eepeetside beyond precedent. ity an almost unanimous cote that assemblage resolved In to I or of the county issu log her bonds, not exceeding 4',i) , 1.1100 for the pur pose 01 securing Allegheny count 3 's quota un der the last Iwo °ails of the President, provided that legal authority trots the Legislature to that effect was had, and power given to the Commis sioners to lei 3 a tax sufficient i pa) the inter est upon the bonds, and cant-el the bonds them selves at the end of three years. Although the wording of the call for the con vention yesterday would have 0. Inc 03 rd the idea that Its action would have been directed against the Issuing of any more bond.. of the county ; yet It was evident from the gener..l tenor al the re marks of all the speakers, mid indeed, the re solves of the convention. th.it its no -milers were opposed to the issue of the bends under spy cir cumstances. tie thl.l as It may, as public Opin ion now Fiends, the meeting 01 3 este/day—cam posed, as it was, of mcn ol et cry stride of politi cal opinion—represented but a tithe of the pule itc sentiment of Allegheny county. Not a member of that body but lies ; perhaps, a son or near relation now in the army, or, it may be, sleeping 'ncath the snits of the so-called Southern confederacy • snit w Ito has contributed largely to the turtheLoice of the efforts of the government In crushing the rebellion. Those men may not be called ilisio3 al . nor Ch:irged with opposition to U.' I tot erimient, hi si w o e they are conscientiously oppoge,l to what seems to be— and doubtless is—the altruist wish of the loyal people of the county. tle the issue of the bonds of the county . fllcy 111N3 be mista ken in their views—they may not be rioting for the beat interests either 01 them soli es or the government under whi 1, they lit ; yet that is a question which time can determine Some of their efforts to raise :I3 voluntary subscriptions the amount—and more if necesaa ry—to fill their quotas. Let those who differ with them but evince L a like:determination and unselfish patriotism, and all will yet be well . Let those who are in taco of the bonds but who know that they cannot be jEISUI:tt until near the time that government bounties ,;ease, and the draft commences, act with all promptitude in the matter or• raising money and procuring re cruits, and Allegheny will not again suffer the diagram of a draft. The men are in our midst who are willing to velar/titer in defence of the Union. Some may doubt the patriotism of men who are disposed to stand aloof swath:lg to see who 11l pay the largest bounty. We do not. Men who peril their lia,ta the defence lof their country, and the immediate interest of those who stay at home, have a right to *2OO bounty, and to ten times thritamount if they eturgetit. And if we are preserved, through their heroic effbrts. fom the desolating- and destructive marches Of r the enemy, the haler)l all we hare would not be too great a price to pay them.
