Tnis body assembled at Chicago, ori Mon
day, the SV'th August. Hon. Win. liiviler
was chosen temporary President. On ta
king the chair, Mr. liigler thanked the del-,
cgates for the '''honor conferred. " and then
went on to say :
"it -is not expected, nor would he ficting in
.one assuming a mere temporary Presidency
of this Convention, that he thould enter up
on any gMieral discussion of the many topics
riigested by the unliMppy condition of our
country. A brief allusion to the occa.-ion
and pWiyses of our assendilage is all that
will he necessary. No similar body everas-.-enibled
in America with mightier objects
oerore, or to which such a va.-t proportion of
American people looked with such profound
st iioir.ude tor measures to promote the wel
fare of the country and advance their indi
vidual happiness. The termination of i cm
ocratie rule in this country was tlu end of
peaceful telations between the State and the
people. The elev: tioti of a sectional party
to authority at Washington, t lie culmina
tion of a long indulged, acrimonious war.
n'minati"!! arid recrimination between ex
treme men at the North and South, were
promtiy fiilhuved by disohirion and civil war,
and iii th-j" progress of that .war even the
outworks ot civil liberty have b.;en imperil
t 1 and the whole fabric brought to the very
verge id" destruction, and now, at the end
of more than three years of a war unparal
leled in modern times for its ma.-nitude and
ior barbarous desolation, after more .than
t;vo millions of men have been called " into
the field oil our side alone, after the land
lias been literariily drenched in fraternal
blood and wai'ings and lamentations are heard
in every corner of our common country, the
hopes of the Union and of our cherished ob
ject are no wise improved. The men now
in authority, through a fued which they
long maintained with violent and unwise
men at the South, because of a blind fanati
cism about an institution in some States,
and in relation to which they had no duties to
form and no responsibilities to near, are
utterly incapable ot adopting proper means
to re.-cue our coutry, our whole country
from it.--present lamentable condition. Then,
wiitlemen, it is apparent that the first in-di.-pcnsablo
step to the accomplishment of
this great work is the overthrow by the bal
lot of the present .Administration, and the
inauguration of an other in its stead, winch
will wi-ely and zealously, but temperately
an I ju-tfy wield all the influence nui power
ot'the (iovernment to bring about a speedy
settlement of our internal troubles on the
principles or the Constitution, and on terms
honorable and just to all sections. North,
South, East and West ; one which will stand
uiiialtcringly by civil and religious Iibeny;
tie which, instead of relying solely on its
l)-x'u!iiir dogmas and doctrines and the rav
age ,,f the sword, will ref.r the national
trouble to the people, the fountain of polit
ical authority, and to the States under the
firms of the Constitution; one which will
have no conditions precedent to the restora
tion nf the Union, out will diligently seek
'hat result as a return of permanent puce
amongst the people. Gentlemen, you have
'jeen commissioned hy the people to come
hen: and initiate steps to accomplish these
great, objects, to select an agent and agencies
in the good work. That that duty will be
'.veil performed I have an unfaltering faith,
jnd that the people may sanction aud God
'le.-s those means to the desired end is my
Miicere prayer. "
On the 30th, the Convention selected
'ov. Horatio Seymour, of New York, as
pennanient President. He said there were
reasons why the Democratic party should be
restored to power. The Administration now
ii; power, he asserted. cannot save the Union
11 it would. It has placed obstacles in its
w which it cannot overcome. Ithashaui
l't;red its own freedom of action by uucon
stUutionalties. The guaranteed rights of
1 he people to bear arms have been trampled
"'"'cr foot up to the very borders of Caua
?'aj so that American servitude is put in
Md contrast with British liberty. This
tiion is now held assunder bv military am
;itkn. If our political troubfes could be re
ttrred to peace arbritrament, away from the
"""tending armie in the field, our Union
would be restored. This' A lu.'ni.-jiatio-i,
Mr. H'viiiour u-peau-d, --ui.n-.t -j-ave tue

"There are no bin lerat:ce., in our v;.:h"w;'V
to Union and peace. We ctnia.i'I uo eru
ditions for the re ejoratioi: of the Union. o
are shackL-d with no h;;tcs, no prejudice: .

titovittil for i'tr,n .-what we demand for our
selves full recognition of thu rights of the
States. We mean that every State on our
nation's banner shall thine with one and the
same lustre."
The Committee on Resolutions reported
the following, which were adopted :
Kesolced. That in the future, a9 m the
past, we will adhere with unswerving fideli
ty to the Union under the Constitution as
the onle solid foundation of our strength,
security and happiness as a people, and as
a framework of government equally condu
cive to the welfare and prosperity of all the
States, both Northern and Southern.
AVwAr,,;, That this Conven ion does ex
plicitly declare, as the sense of the Ameri
can people, that, after four years of failure
to restore t!? Union by "the experiment of
war, during which, under the pretense
of a military necessity or war power high
er than the Constitution, the Constitu
tion itself has been disregarded in everj-part,
and public liberty and private right alike
trodden down, and the material prosperity
of the country essentially impaired, justice,
humanity, liberty, trod the public welfare,
demand that immediate, efforts be inade for
a ccs-ati 'ii of hostilities, with a view to an
ultimate Convention of all the States, or
other .ea .'cable means to the end that at the
earliest practicable moment peace may be
restored on the basis of the Federal Union
of the Staes.
Ju:ncr,l, That the direct interference of
the military authority of the United States
in the recent elections held in Kentucky,
Maryland, Missouri and Delaware, was a
shameful violation of the Constitution, and
the repetition oi such acts in the approach
ing election will be held as revolutionary,
and resisted with all the means and jriover
under our control.
I !:- f red. That the aim and object of the
Democratic party is to preserve the Federal
Union and the lights of the States unim
paired; and they hereby declare that they
consider the Administration usmpatiun of
extraordinary and dangerous powers not
"ranted by the Constitution, the subversion
of the civil l.y military law in States not in
insunection. th arbitrary military arrest,
imprisonment trial and sentence of Ameri
can citizens in States where civil law exists
in full force, the suppression of freedom of
speech and of the press, the denial of the
right of asylum, the open and avowed disre
gard of State rights, the employment of un
usual test-oaths, and the interference with
and denial of the right of the people to bear
anus, as oalculated to prevent a restoration
of the Union and the perpetuation of a gov
ernment deriving its just powers from the
consent of the governed.
liisnh i- t. That the shameful disregard of
the Administration to its duty in respect to
our fellow-citizens who now and long have
been prisoners of war in a sutferinjr condi
tion, deserve- tlie severest reprobation, on
the score alike of public interest and com
mon humanity.
AVWW, That th sympathy of the Dem
ocratic party is heartily and earnestly exten
ded to the soldiers of fur army, who are and
have been in the field under the flag of our
country; and, in the event of our attaining
pwer, they will receive ail the care and pro
tccti ,n. regard and kindness, that the brave
soldiers ot the Hepublic have so nobly earned.
After the adoption ot the platform, the
C. invention proceeded to the nomination of
candidates, the principal ones being (Jen.
McCiellun ami Thomas II. Seymour, of
Connecticut.
Upon this a spicy debate sprung up, in
the course of which Mr. Harris, of Mary
land, pitched into Gen. McC!':!..n in fine
style. Mr Harris said :
' One was nominated here to-day who is a ty
rant, j ('beers and hisses. J He it was who
first initiated the policy by which our rights
and liberties were trodden down. That man
is George P. McCiclian. (Confusion, j Ma
ryland, which has suffered so much at the
hands of that man. will not submit to his
nomination' in silence. His offences shall
be made known. This Convention is a jury
appointed by the. people to pass upon the
merits ofthepublicmenwho.se names would
be presented for the support of the great
Democratic party. General MeClellan, I
repeat, is a tyrant. Great confusion. J 1
stand here to indict him.
A delegate. I call him to order.
The Piesident said he hoped there was
no man 'present who would deny the right
of free speech. Certainly, no 1 emocrat
wou d do so. At the same time, he hoped
no delegate would feel called upon to pur
sue a course of remarks so offensive as to
interfere with the harmony of the Conven
tion. Mr. Harris read McCiellan's order of ar
rest, against the--legislature of Maryland,
and proceeded to comment upon the same,
but th-' confusion was so great that the
speaker could not be heard. He was un
derstood to say that all the charges of usur
pation and ty anay that can be brought a
gainst Lincoln and Duller he could make
and substantiate against MeClellan. (Hiss
es, cheers, arid cries "for Jeff. Davis.' J(
Mr. Ilarri- proceeded to say thatGen.
MeClellan was an assassin of State rights,
an usurper of our liberties, and if nomina
ted he would be beaten everywhere, as he
was at Antietam. He added that he could
not go home and ask. the members of the
Legislature ot 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
said that he. would not vote for MeClellan if
nominated he had no right to take part in
the proceedings of the Convention.
The President decided that fhe point was
well taken ; and. amid the w Idest confusion,
Mr. Harris retired from the stand, and as
he was walking towards his seat, a person,
not a delegate, although sitting within the
circle, said to him : " Vou ougb t to be turn
ed out of the Convention, you d d traitor!"
whereupon Mr. Harris turned around and
knocked him out of his cha r. This inci
dent contributed much to the general con
fusion which prevailed for several minutes.
Messrs. Morgan, of Ohio, Jones, of Ma
ryland, and others, defended Gen. MeClel
lan. Much confusion ensued, and motions
to adjourn were made, Lut declared out of
order.
Mr. Lor p. cf Ohio, took the stand in op
position to MeClellan. He said Lincoln had
1 ci it guilty of intcrl'-'riiig with the freedom
of t-pcecii, freedom of elections, and of ar
bitrarv arre.-ts. In your resolutions, Mr.
! Long said, you have arraigned lata before
the people of the country for these tyran
nies and usurpations, and yet you propose
to nominate a man who has gone even far
ther than Lincoln in the nerneliation of
similar tyrannical measures njion the sacred
privileges and rights of the people. Me
Clellan is guilty of the arrest of the Legis
lature of ajsovereign State, lie has sus
pended the writ of habeas corpus, and help
ed to enforce the odious emancipation proc
lamation ot Lincoln. The willing instru
ment ot a "corrupt and tyrannical Adminis
tration, aiding, while possessing the milita
t m i' . ..e
ry. po.ver, to txrip American ireemen m
their dearest liberties, will you so far stulli
fy yourselves as to make him the standard
bearer of the Democracy? With all my
heart, I hope not. 'He'had never done oth
erwise, and as between Lincoln and Fre
mont, and by calling himself even half a
Democrat, he would have a choice and would
be found voting with his friends, but he
bagged the Convention not to nominate
MeClellan. Almost any other man who
claims to be a Democrat would satisfy him,
and would satisfy the Northwest. Weak as
i your platform in many respects, we win
stand up and do all in our power to main
tain it, but in (Hod's name don't add to its
weakness by placing such a man in nomina
tion. ftcr snin j further discussion, the Con
vention adjourned till next day, when Gen.
Geo. li. MeClellan was nominated a candi
date for the Presidency, the vote standing:
MeClellan ":? A. Seymour 23. Geo. H.
Pendleton, of Ohio, was nominated as the
candidate for Vice President.
