Shabby Treatment.

OUdDDy lI6dIlllGul,
The Representatives of Pennsylvania in
the Chicago Republican Convention APP
pear, from the report of the proceedings,
to have been treated in the most shabby
and contemptuous manner They were
snubbed all round, for sailing under false
colors and perhaps the cold treatment
they received at the hands of the genuine
Republicans of other States induced them
to display extraordinary zeal in assisting
TO procure the nomination of u rank Abol-
itionist like LINCOLN, and to purify them
selves from the slightest remaining taint Of
Americanism.
Mr.. WILMoT, who with that other arch
renegade from the Democracy, ANDREW
II. RrEDER, aspircd to the leadership Of
the Pennsylvania delegation, having made
objection to delegates from slave States
casting the full vote of the States they
pretended to represent, Mr.. Palmer, of
Maryland, said that he stood before this
free Convention as Republican of the
State of Maryland. Cheers and three
cheers for Maryland.l He claimed to be
as good Republican as the People Par
ty Of Pennsylvania. He had dared more
and riskcd more than the gentlemen from
Pennsylvania had ever risked or dared

r On another occasion, when the Conyrn
} ton was about deciding the question VIII
, ether majority of all the electoral vote
$ of the Union or only a majority of vote
cast should be required to nominate, thu
following colloquy occurred:
Mr.. GOoDRIcu, of Minnesota, askc
that the representatives. of the People
. Party of Pennsylvania be excused irol
, voting. Cries of order and Kisses.
Mr.. REEDER, of Pennsylvania, SAID tia
the delegates from Pennay ylvania had toun

Mr.. GUrDRIcu said that he had n,

been called tor the fourth time, and II
delegates being unable to vote on the

y be excused from voting out of feelings

So it appears that the Republicans ho
't so little respect for men sailing under tt
or false colors of = Peoples Party" repr
Id scntativcs, that delegates seized every o
m casion to snub and insult them. 1t is II
d surprising that genuine Republicans shou

le transparent fraud as the " People, Pa
