(suboot to tiee deeleion of the' Democratic National Oonvention4) POSTPONEMENT OF THE CHICAGO CONVENTION. ~ We have thought for some time past that it would be a stroke of good policy for the National Committee to postpone the meeting of the- Chicago Convention to a later period than the day named in their call. Every indication points to a Certainty that the approaching Presi dential campaign wt7l be the most ex citing that has ever occurred in the history of the..i l .Tation. The Opposition have all the advantages on their side in a protracted contest—the support of thousands of interested office-holders, an unlimited use of money, the influ ence of 'two-thirds of the leading news papers and a hundred other • peculiar features which will readily occur to the minds of all who take the question se riously into thought. The history of American politics, for the last few years, proves conclusively that in an angry and lengthy campaign, the Democracy have invariably been the losers , and the Abolitionists the gainers. Very few men Of shrewd discernment doubt, at the present time, that had our nomi nating conventions, last year, in most of the States, been held a short period af ter those of the other side, the result would have been of a more cheerful character. Had the Democrats of: Pennsylvania been content to wait un-, til a month or two previous to the elec tion last fall, her people would not to day be put to shame by the reflection that Andiew G. Curtin fills and dis c ces the highest office in the State; A like amount of caution and judgment would have given us a Governor it. Ohio and State officers in Nie York,' and at this moment, instead of lament ing the apparent pinstration R Demo cratic principles in nearly every State of the Union, we -would have 'the cheering sight of at least four States ruled by Democratic Governors, with a fair hope of carrying our Presidential ticket in the next campaign. Our first choice for the nomination at Chicago is well known, but we are not one of those who are so wrapped up in devotion to men that we would risk the defeat of honored principles for the empty gratification of giving our support and vote to a personal faVorite. The Democratic creed has always been "principles not men," and the idea re ceives ten-fold emphasis at this stage of the National crisis. We care not BO daily who is selected for our standard _ bearer, so that be is a man of sterling mettle, a true and consistent upholder of the party faith and possessing those elements of popularity which will give us the prospect of success. Any one looking at the matter reflectingly must see that just now it is impossible to decide which of the many noble names that have been submitted in that con nection would be the most available. We say available,' because, however some may sneer at the word, there is no denying the truth that availability is quite as much to be taken into ac count as anything else. Without an available man, our principles cannever be established, for they would be buried beneath the overwhelming overthrow that would dune upon the nomination of an unpopular one. The candidate selected on the Fourth of ;My next, future events in the campaign might plainly show to have been the very one who ought not to have been selected. The Democrats of Pennsylvania have had, enough lemons on this point not to require any extended argument to con vince them of the soundness of our conclusions. We have thrown these dews rapidly , into Shape, and urge them upon the careful consideration of our brethren of the press throughout the country. We may be over-timid, but if so, it arises from our devotion to the Union and the good old organization which we sincere. ly believe can alone rescue it from its fearful perils. We prefer the postponement of the Chicago Convec tion to the Ist Tuesday of September, but it may be that the Ist Tuesday in August will be late ,enorgh. Tl e subject is of weighty importance, an 1 if we can sucmed in direlting the at tention of our party prest an ers to it, we have no fears but there be a general concurrence in our views.

Oer men weie led gallantly to the assault, and captUred a portion of the' ,enemy's works. but were' ultimately driven back and the attempt was abandoned. It is distinctly 'stated that, in nonseqUencir of thii reverse, Gen. Grant will make no further attempts in that direction, but will be compelled to take some other lino of advance: upon Richmond."

The rebel batteries were carried, however. Gen'. Sherman officially reports that his left is in position at Altoona pass. He has not yet advanced far beyond Ma rietta. Forrest is reported at Corinth, and, it is reported, intends to make a raid on Gen. Sherman's rear. • From Gen. Butler's department we learn that the rebels were repulsed on the lit instant, after they had made a most deter mined assault. upon the left wing of our army. It is reported that Fits Hugh Lee and six hupdred of his cavalry were cap tured in the vicinity of the White Houle. on the let inst., by Gen. Smith. This must be an error, as so important a cap tare as that would have been reported by ada4Ces received as late as the evening of the 21.

Tus National Inleggeneer has i quiet way of putting things, which is often very ef fective. Speaking of the recent meeting of the Emancipation League in Boston, it says : "Among the speakers on the occasion was Wendell Phalli*, who, as is his wont, held towards the Administrations style of language which, for gross criminatinn of the President's motives and official integ rity, would have been deemed highly treasonabte in the fitite of Ohio during the militaty administration of-,ben:Burn side.

Tea Union man of, the whole country will regret to learn that Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees positively declines a re-election to Congress. His prigste interests require that he should retire:from public life and devote his attention to his profession. ,The absence of so able and honest a man as Mr. Voorhees from our national coun sell will be a severe loss.

J. 13reckenridge, of Hen. tnoky, an eccentric political parson, was selected as temporary chairman. He is the same gentleman who •wrote a letter to Mr. Seward' in 1856, eentainiag the following eat lances : 44 If your party hold your doctrines the North is far more deeply interested in abol ishing it than in abolishing slavery. For no free people on the thee of the earth could endure its permanent dominion ; and no form of government could fail to become an intol• amble despotism dnder its role ; and no con dition of society could escape hopelesi ehip wreak in its hands.", After a lengthy and foolish speech from the reverend politician, Pivine blessing was in voked by Rev. Mr. Riley. Simon °moron, of this State, a man like Old Abe, of noted honesty, was the fret to make a motion.
