Tha Union Convention Ia Pennsylyania.

The Union COnvcutiOu In Tcnnsyis"nA"-
The Harrisburg correspondent Of the New York
Herald thus refers to the proceedings Of the late
Union Convention in that city, 70 which We have
already snl.aded:
o...,v --.uctsd themselves magnani-
WITH the exception of Z short time last
evening, they kept the disorganizng spirit down;
they let the Republicans blow on their gas and
said but little, but worked the more.
The Americans had about two-thirds of the del
egates in the convention, and could have selected
from their party every candidate, but they acted
In spirit OF conciliaton, and although the Amer
| ican party has ten votes In the State where the
| Wings and Republicans combined have one, yet
they gave to each Of these parties candidate to
harmonize, yet, at the same time, the Republicans
we're continually charging the Americans with
wanting everything.
| As soon as order was obtained, Mr. Oornman Of
fered the following, which was accepted
| Resolved That State Central Committee be
| appointed equal to the number of Senators, and
that the delegates from each Senatorial district Sc
lect their committee men.
| The following is the committee: J. r. Flanagan,
Whig; Jacob Dock, American; Charles Thompson
Jones, American, Henry L. Banner American /;
Oliver p. Cornman, American, VIM. II. Slingluf,
American; David r. Clymen, American; Henry
F. Darlington, Whig; Peter Martin, American ;
George Hoffman, American; G. f. Muench, Amer
kican B. II. Hazenluch, American; Chas. p. Wal
Ter, American David Wills, American, Abraham
Forry, American, K. Beatty, Whigi David @. Boal
American John Penn Jones, American; Philip
Moss, American VIM. Jessup, Republican; Gen.
Ashley NJ Hill, Republican VIM. Stewart, Repub-
lican John N. Howe, American Republican; Mi
chael Weand American Republican; A. II. Miller,

lican Thomas Miller, Jr, American Republican |;

Whig; Israel Guteins, American; Robert Sttt,

Jones Brooks, American.
Immediately after the adjournment of the con-
vention the central committee met and elected Ii.
Jones Brooks, of Delaware, chairman. Now that
the fall campaign in this State is fairly open, 1t
perhaps would be in place to take glance at the
condition of the two parties The Democrats met
here on the 4th of March, under exceedingly favor
able auspices, and nominated ticket with perfect
harmony. Two of the men, however, that they
nominated were taken out of Wilmots district
that section of the State where the Democratic
party is the weakest--and the other from the east
ern part OF the State leaving that portion west Of
the mountain without a candidate. This caused a
great desl of murmuring among the western Dem
ocrats, although they kept their dissatisfaction to
themselves at the time, but it has since broken ont,
and the indications now are that it will seriously
damage their ticket IN october next.
The fusion convention has just adjourned. They
met here under the most adverse circumstances
that any convention ever assembled in. They came
here, the most of them representing principles an
tagonistical to each other, with men holding ex-
treme views on both Sides but with the excep-
tion of some ten or twelve men, (who made all the
trouble,) more judicious set could not have been
sent. The Americans having the control Of the
convention held out the olive branch to their op-
ponents in views, and after days labor the lion
and lamb laid down together--the Fillmore or
national Americans clasped to their embrace the
Republicans-the free traders and protectionists
shook hands with other, and thus succeeded in
breaking up in harmony. Their ticket is com.
posed Of men of ability and well qualified for their
respective posts, and likewise well distributed
throughout the State In the latter respect they
have the advantage of the Democrats, as they have
taken strong man from Wilmot's district, and
one that is exceedingly popular from west of the
mountains, and the other from the southeastern
part of the State. This distribution will very ma
terially strengthen their ticket. Under that posi-
tion they enter the field with at least twenty-five
Thousand majority against the Democrats. II, then,
they succeed in keeping the different elements
united, they will carry everything before them.
