inc Thee Conventions and their Results
ihe P4ttsburg convention, in its character and
nlts, presents curious but very natural phase,
beyond even the particular effects it may produce
on the Presidential election now pending; although
that organization ended, in some degree as farce,
and the movement in which it originated has !,
ceived heavy blow, under which 1t staggers to
" its fall, still 1t exhibits aspect of great impor
en- lance, when taken in connection with the events
Of that have en- place in Baltimore and elsewhere
for during the present year.
Before the Baltimore nominations of the two great
parties, the most sagacious and shrewd politicians
and statesmen at sea, without compass a
chart, sun, stars to guide them in the peril
ill Gus voyage No one could forsee the end. Clouds
he and darkness rested upon it. On side there
to the secession party of the South with the Southern,
Press, its organ in Washington, brought into exist
ms ence to sustain it, and the numerous journals
in throughout the South, which gave the movement
IN their advocacy and support On the other side was
i'll the abolition and free soil party of the North with
of its organs in every city and every district and the
al Era, at the head quarters in the capital promdl
d. eating the rankest treason to the Union, the
of sttution, and the laws of Congress. The dema
he gogues of both the extreme sections and their
spective journals, We'd with each other in seditous
or language and reasonable designs, and patriotic
y men, both ofthe democratic and wing parties,
filed with apprehension and gloomy forebodngs for
Of the future.
A. In this critical juncture the national conventions

secession party of the South 1t the final blow
n which laid it in the dust. The Northern abolition
Oh party also stunned but partaking of a
lis permanent character in its principles and organic
ny structure, than heSouthern wing. it survived the
stroke, andis not even yet extinct though the Pitts
re- burg convention has nearly finished it. 1t only
ill wants another knock on the head to complete the
lid business
When the platforms announced by the rep
reentatives of the two parties at Baltimore, the
It's heads of the Northern free soers and abohonists
es. etted and fmed and announced their convention
for the 1ith Of August The leaders and their organs
en- threatened certain humiliation to both the
d. great parties. The day long looked forward to
came and the free sellers and abolitionsts of every
he stripe and hue from the four winds of heaven, met
IN at Pittsburg The sincere and enthusiasts
RI bamboozled by the wire pulers Of the wing
to and democratic parties they imagined they were
nd serving the of abolition, when they only
"a playing into the hands of the schemers of their
ed party and the schemers of the other two par
a ties, who all conspired together for the spoils,
ly and laughed at the dupes who showed higher
is regard for principle than for the loaves and
fishes In this game of chess the democrats got the
Id, advantage, our Pittsburg special correspondent
lie, was the first to show, and is admitted by
he those delegates who they went to that con-
vention for the purpose of working for Scott. The
sc speech Of Mr. West at the land reform meeting
e. Tuesday evening, which will be found in another
Mt part of this days HERALD, lets the cat out of the
O. bag; and the letter of another delegate, Watson
IL G. Haynes, which appeared in yesterdays Tribune,
of together with anonymous communications from two
delegates are confirmation strong as proofs
IS from Holy WRIT" that the wings, who were conf.
he dent of springng trap upon the convention by the
he nomination of Chase forestaed and outwtted
ut, by the democrats, who played their game skill
ut fully that they checkmated their opponents. and
effected the nomination of Hale in spite of himself
Thus were the trcksters trcked and they are now
IN, filed with disappointment; but, fororn hope,
ng rely upon Hae's rejection of the nomination. Even
At, this move the democrats anticipated, for they
e, would not consent to the appointment of a commit
he tee to officially tender Hale the nomination, lest it
oil should give him the opportunity Of coming out
But the party most affected by the action Of the
81 Pittsburg convention is the abolition party ITSELF
te 1t is all but used up, and the elements of which it
ct composed will either.be absorbed by the two
parties from which they originally severed, or
DC they will stand in the digned attitude Of armed
