Cort, ,puodepee of The NJ Y TYjbune

COLUMBUS, Sept. 6, 1861.
The Union Convention held in this city yesterday
was fairly and entirely Peoples Convention. 1t was
not managed by political committees-t managed it.
self There was mighty current of Union sentiment,
which controlled everything. The delegates were
irrespective of party-the organization Of the Conven
ton was irrespective, and the speeches and dOings
were of the same character. To acquainted with
political affairs in Ohio, it was an agreeable sight, as
well az strange sight-the working together for the
Constitution and the laws Of the whole country of
who have been prominent not only in the State but in
the National councils, political antagonists. There
was Thomas Ewing, venerable Wing; there was
Ben. Wade, Wing once, now and always significant
Republican; there was g. +. Cary, temperance ora
tor rather than politician but known TO have had
Bell and Everett proclivities; there was g. Volney
Dorsey candidate for State Treasurer ON the Demo-
cratic State ticket at late election; there was Rufus r.
Spading, ancient Democrat and old Liberty Party
man." and there were many other men sympathizing
and acting in times past with the men named-all in
| harmony for the Union.
| Enthusiasm and earnestness prevailed among dele
gates and attendants and the Convention dstin-
guished among all the political conventions Of Ohio for
ability character clear purpose, and unqualified deter
| minatiOn.
The Hon. Thomas Ewing was permanent chairman.
The committees on resolutions, committees &C., were
comoosed of good men-Democrats, Republicans, and
Americans There was no manifestation in any partic-
ular of pas, party raneor, or grudge OF prejudice

crats. three Republicans, and American. 1t is as
