Tne wigwam was densely jacked and tho ' crowd outside was greater than ever. Immediately after the Convention was! : called to order, and a prayer waa offered by ; Ri-v. Dr. llalsey, of Chicago. Mr. Wickltffe, of Kentucky, said that the 1 delegates from the West were of the opinion ' that circumstances may occur between noon J to day and the 4ta of March next which wil! i make it propet for the Democracyof the coun. try to meet in convention agaiu. lie there fore moved the following restlufion, which was unanimously adopted.

The President then stated the question before the Convention to be on ordering the previous question to proceed to the notnina- I tioa of a candidate for the Presidency, an d it 1 was ordered without dissent.

In announcing the vote for New York, i Mr, Church said that New York regretted jto pass by her favorite son, but she stands ( now as she has ever stood, ready to sacrifice j tar d arest for the pub j lie gf od. Holding it to be her diry above all j others to do all in her power to rescue the C< unt rv from the tyranny that oppresses it having full confidence in the D* nv craey, the I abdicy and patriotism of General George 13 , McClelUn, New Vers gives him her entiie . electoral vote. j Several delegate having cast their votes I for Horatio Seymour, when the call of States | had been gone through with. Governor | Seymour remarked that as some gentlemen had done him.the honor to name him for nomination, >t would be affectation to say | that their expression of preference did not give hini pleasure ; but he owed it to himscl f > to say that manv months ago he advised his j fiiemls in New Y -rk that; fr various rea j sons, private and public, he could not be a | candidate for nonsin; I on Having made that anno ur.ccmenf,he would i lack the honor of a tmn, lie would do great j injii*tice to those friends to permit Ins name ' lo be used, as a number of the New Y.-rk ; delegation he personally thought it advisable | to support an eminent jurist of that Sta'e i for Domination ; but he waa not actuated in , in this by any doubt of the ability or patri | tiism of tee distinguished godtUman who I has beep placed in nomination. He knew that G<iais! McClellan did not seek ihe nomination. He knew that able officer i had declared that it would be more agreea { ble to hiru to resume his position in the ar my ; but he will not honor any less the high I position assigned him by the great majority I of bia country roan, because he hat not sought hi. lie desired to add a few words in refer-1 ence to "Maryland and her honored delegation j here. Yesterday he did an act of injustice to tbe distinguished member of that delegation, (Mr. Harris ) because he (Seymour) did not understand the purport of his remarks, and he now desired to say that that high-toned gentleman was iu apable of taking a position 1 in thin Convention, participating in its delib erat • is, while refusing to abide by its do cisions. We are ttow appealing to the American people to .unite and save our country. Let, us not look back. It ;s with the present that | wo have to deal. Let bygones be bygones.; lie cu*!d wy fui our gallaut noutiuee, that , no man's heart will grieve more than his will for any wrong doue to- Maryland. As one who did not support bun in the New York delegation, and as one who knows the man . well, he fellbouni to do him this justice, j Ho (Governor Seymour) would pledge his life'lhat when General McClellau is placed in the Presidential chair be will devote all his energies to.the best interests of his country, and to securing never again to be invaded all the rights and privileges of the people un der the laws and the Constitution. The President then anuounced the vote, i which was received with deafening cheers, the delegates and tne audiance joining, tbe the band playing and the cheering lasting for several minutes. Immediately after the nomination a banner j on which was painted the purtrait of Me- ; Clellan and bearing as a motto : "If I can not have command of my own men, let nie share their fate on the field of battle," was, j run up behind the President's platform and , was welcomed with enthusiastic cheers. A communication was received from the j Chairman of the German People Association j of New York claiming to represent 200.000 citizens accompanied by resolutions pledging , the members of the association to the up port of the Chicago nominee. Mr, Yaiiatidighain moved that the nomina lion of George B. MeClellan be male the 1 unanimous sense of the Convention, which was seconded by Mr. McKeon. Governor Powell briefly addressed the Convention pledging his most earnest efforts for 'be succoss of the ticket. Jnge Allen of Ohio, and others made brief j speeches, aud the question was then taken j on making the nomination unanimous which w as declared carried amid deafening applause Mr. Wickhffe offered a resolution to the effect that Kentucky expects the liistacts of MeClellan, when inaugurated in March next, will be to open the Lincoln prison doors and set the captives free. The Convention then proceeded to vote for Vice President. Ths first ballot resulted as follows: James Guthrie, GSA ; George H. Pendle ton, 54i ; Daniei \Y Voorbees, 13 ; Geo. YY. Cass, 20; August Dodge, 9; J. D. Catom 10 ; Governor Powoll, 32j ; Jot.o S. Phelps, 8 blank On the second ballot New York threw its . whole vole for Mr. Pendleton, its chuiniian stating that its former vote for Guthrie was j against his wishes. The other candidates j were then withdrawn and Mr. Pendleton of, Ohio was unanimously nominated. Mr Pendleton being loudly called for said i tbat ho had no language in which to express j his thanks for this evidence of kindness and confidence. lie could only promise to de vote himself in tbe future as in the past to the great principles which heat the founda tion of our Government, the rights ot the State and liberties of the people, In the fu ture as in the past fie would be faithful to the great principles of Democracy ; and string m their cause with the hearts of milt ions itf freedom with them, they will again build up the shattered fragments of the Un ion arid hand it down to the next generation as if was received Irom the last, A committee of one irom each Sfate was appointed to inform the candidates of their nomination, and request their acceptance. It was resolved that one person from each State, to be selected by ihe delegates thereof be appointed to form a National Executtue Committee, It was also resolved that 100 GOO cpies of the proceedings of the Convention be printed Resolved , That tie Democracy of the country be requested to meet in the differ ent citip*, and hold mass ratification meetings on the 17; hof September, the anniversary of the adoption ol the Federal Constitution. After a vote of thanks to the officers of the Constitution, with nine cheers for tne ticket, the Constitution adjourned, subject to the eail of the National Committee.

The following is a summary, of the princi pal points of the militia law of the Suate, as amended by the Legislature which has just adjourned : THE MILITIA. " 'l** The militia consists of able-bodied white citizens between twenty one and forty five years, except idiots, lunatics, drunkard vaga bonds, pauper and criminals. EXEMPTS, The citizens exempt from enrollment are those physically disabled,members and offices of the Legislature, herds of State departments at Harrisburg, judges and clerks, of courts, 6heiifts, recorders ol deeds, registers ol wills prothonotaiies, aud district attorneys ; mili tia wffictrs whe have served seven, or Volun teers who have sfefved three years. DRILLING. The enrolled militia must drill by compa nies thrice, and by regiments at least twice a year. The penalty for non attendance is five do'lars per diem for officers, rnd three dollars for privates. DIVISIONS AND BRIGADES, The State is divided into twenty militia "Divisions." Each county is a seperate ''Brigade," except Philadelphia ( which is four) and Pittsburg (which is one ) UNIFORM. The enrolled militia must uniform them selves. The State allows for each uniform SO. The penalty for neglect or refusal is $25, ACTIVE SERVICE. The militia 13 not liable to be called into active service, except in case of in - surrcction,riot or tumult, tnade or threaten ed, oriu obedience to the orders of the Gov ernor. When in service the militia receive the same pay as United States troops, and the families of dead or wounded are entitled to peusions. A SPECIAL STATE GUARD. The Governor possesses all needful powers to organize the entire s;ate milina, and in addition has special power to organize a* many regiments as he may think proper (not exceeding fifteen),to be called the Putin sylvania State Guard. The companies of this organization elect their own officers, but the Governor appoints the regiments! officers The Slate Guard may be kepi in service as ong as deemed necessary,not exceeding three years, and the men may be raised by draft in the whole or any particular part of the Com monwealth. When drafted, either in the State Guard or the regular militia, the men must appear in person or by substitute, or else "suffer such punishment as a court mar tial may determine." GENERAL CHARACTER OF THE LAW, The militia bill and its two supplements comprehend an immense mass of details, and define the duties and power* of officers, en rollers, and assesso's, the methsd of arming, equiping, etc. The three law*, consisting in the aggregate of about two hundred sections are in the bauds of the State Printer,and will be printed,bv the authority of the Legislature at an early day. The militia of Pennsylvania, like tho>e of any other State, are made sub ject to the call of the General Government at any time. The Raid on Columbia County, Tho news from Camp Benton, Columbia county, is meagre. The g*\apo vine telegraph is riot in working order to that point, nor in fact from any other near the base of opera tions of tne army. " Intelligent contrabands" report all quiet arong the lines ab"Ut Benton, Stillwater and lola. The " reliable gentle man" says, that Gen. Couch proposes to •' fight it out on this line if it takes all sum mer" to reach Canada obslr uCtions. A " re -1 spectabie lady" a refugee just arrived, states | Couch's men had by a forced march of seine 15 mile-! last Sunday, arrived at the seat of rebellion, but were dismayed and chagrined to fined no enemy. The last report states that a large party of the rank and file were I about outflanking a Springhouse while anoth | er squad were scouting around a batre-oven. We have still further news from a YVhile tnan, \*hu notwithstanding his color looks i like a reliable tuan, who says, it is rumored and believed in certain quarters, that tLete never was any very great force in the Fishing Creek region, and that the story of the "seven miles of F rt ifi iations,, all grew ! out of a "stump frolic." One of the residents ; of that etutupy region having conceived the , idea of removing from his fields the huge ' stumps that so greatly hindered his farming ! operations, and building with them a "s tump , fence" procured a machine ami invited his neighbors to help him. YY*hile the work was progressing, a very nervous man passing b} T saw their movements, becoming alarmed est Fishing Creek should secede from the J Union, made report to the Union League Head Quarters at Bloomsdurg, from whence notice was issued about that seven miles of Fortifications. —Danville Intelligencer. LATER. The Columbia County Democrat of Satur j day last says : I On Y\'edneßday morning last, the Soldiers i of "Camp Fishtttgcreek" encamped near Ben -1 ton, in Columbia county, arrested a large : number of the citizens of that vicinity,—say about seventy, a part of tliciu during the day were parol led, —and on that evening, forty four of them were sent to Harrisburg. Dyer L. Chapiug, Esq , Merchant of New Coluw ! bus, James Mcileury. E*q., Met chant of Catnbra and Dr. Wnt. M. Harret, also of Cam bra. Luzerne county, Rohr McHenry, Esq., one of our Bounty Commissioners, YYtn Appleman, Esq. and M. Cole, E*q., of Sugar loaf township, including many older and very respective citizens,were among the prisoners. Of the nature of tbeir alleged ' rffica w* l*atn,'l ay wsra not informed. Pwr Old Abe, . . f Tbe Congressional Protoatissued by Wade nd Davit, chairmen of (be Senate and House Republican Committees, and copied into the Jefferaonian of the 13ti inst., is damaging Lincoln, most awfully, in what us ed to be hia own party. Most of the leading Republican j >urnala publish it, and endorse its views and sentiments—seemirg to forget jor overlook the fact that it is an indirect adiuiesU o and confirmation of the charges :of Usurpation, despotism, and infidelity to ; the Constitution, which the Democracy have time aud again, fastened upon the President. This protest, speaking in behalf of a majority ,of the Republican Senftlois and Congress • men, and backed by pufclic denunciation- of Lincoln, from Hale, Hickman and many otbera, is having auoh an effect upou lhe • great mass of the Republicans that wo woald not be much surprised to see " Old ■ Abe," tbe " foot," the "krt&ve," the " des pot," (as lie is now freely called by ltepubh can leaders,) kicked overboard, and some new man brought out in his place. We should regret tins, for we feel confident that 1 there is such a fast growing sentiment in the Army, and among the people, 111 favor of Peace , and such increasing opposition to War far the Negro, and to the odious conscrip i lion diaits, that the Democracy, with a : sound conservative candidate, upon a Peace ■ and Slate R gths platf ortn, are sure to be 1 successful. As evidence of '• Old Abe's" declining j popularity, we quote from some of the proni | inent Republican Journals in different State-. ; The Albany Statesman says : I " Taero is ouly one way to prevent the , Democrats from electing the next President, • and that i*, to have President Lincoln de cline the nomination. Divided as the pirt y now is between the friends of Lincoln Fro ! moot, Chase, Soward and Weed, the party j ; cannot avoid a most humiliating defeat in Noveinbr." The Concord (New Hampshire) Monitor j says : "Old Abe, who was our first choice for ! the Presidency, and for whom we propose to ! vote, if he keeps the field is gaining no the gth. Ben Wade and Wintei Davis are | : out upon hint, in a long and fierce pronnn : ' ciauiento ; and these are no mean antagonists ( and they make a straight-out issue with liie , President. * * * It may not be too' j iate yet to withdraw both Lincoln and Fie- I inont from the canvass." <fcc. The Editor of the Ann Arbor (Michigan)! iJo •rnal. it: the commencement of a new vol | | unie of his paper, publishes an audress to his i ! patrons, which concludes thus : " Believing that the war is now proaecut -led for an impracticable purpose,—that the Union can never be restored and a perma nent peace established between the free and ! slave states so long as the emancipation and restoration policies of President Lincoln are persisted in. 1 am in favor of a change of policy, and of making in effort to restore j the Union, on the old basis " Alas, for poor " Old Abe !" Defeat, over j whelming defeat is sure to be his fate in No- 1 | vember. j Tut EXTRA SESSION. —The militia bi'l j passed at the extra se c *ion "i the Legislature iis a fair sample of abolition in this State. li ! I gives the Governor power to appoint all offi cers above captain, to draft the 15 Regiments from anv poitiun of tne Commonwealth, to seize horses, supplies and railroad*, and leaves the men liab'e to national draft, and allows thein i* taken out uf tlm States at the pleasure of the authorities. It also fin ■ ' ! volunteers 2G dollars for not furnishing them i selves with uniform*, and imposes other he.a ' ' ' Ivy penalties. The other Legislation is of a ! like character. The dominant party had i things their own way, and it is n wonder! } thai papers like the Philadelphia Inquirer cries out against it.— Sunbury Dan. SUCH IS LIFE.— A writer in the Jefferson Union says that tlie shudder at the news of the death of twenty persons kiiied by the ac- s cidental breaking of a rail, or the sinking of a steamboat, and if two hundred are lost lv any mean*, we are foirly horror-stricxen, and I are ready to wreak vengeance on any one ' j who lias been negligent or carete-s in the matter. But when tens of thousands are out : down in a day by tbe procurement of desigh in demagog <i_'s, we shunt "hallelujah" and can hardly contain ourselves fcr j >y while we . thank Heaven for the hutnau slaughter. We are so well plersed with the awful sacrifice that we set ourselves to work at, unco to liil up the decimated rinke for another feast of carnrge: Not a day passes but we bear of prominent Republicans breaking from tlie rank* of Abe j Lincoln's destructive party. We are pleased tbat among the ; itest is found the name of i the gifted and patriotic Senator from Petin- j sylvania, Hon, Edgar Cowen. Mr. C >wen ! was elected U. S.
