Resolutions were adopted in substance
as follows:
1St. All men, irrespective of party, are
invited to unite for the termination Of the

and concession, and cannot exist in the
absence of tlat brotherly spirit.
81. We will earnestly support every

Gov. Seymour under date of Albany,
Aug. 81. writes to the President with res
pect to the draft in New York and Brook

vost Marshal commencing the draft with
ont consultation with the city and State
officers, at time when the military were
absent at the seat of war, and while there
were not even soldiers enough 10 man the

or complains Of unfairness in the enroll
ment, aud thinks in this lottery for human
life, as he terms it, .here should be strict
impartiality.
In several districts the craft ha. been
executed with justice, and conscripts have
accepted their fate without murmur, and
sometimes joyiully. In the districts Of
New York, however, with a population
much less, the number to be drafted is, in
some cases, double that of the f.rmer-
The attack on enrolling officers, which
subsequently grew into the most destr'ict-
i've riot ever known in the history of The
country. he pronounces unjus,iiable.
Speaking further of the riots in New
York he SAYS: Disregard for law aud dis
respect Cor judicial tribunals produced
;her natural results Of robbery and arson.
accompanied by mnrderous outrages upon
helpless race and for time the very
existence Of the commercial metropolis Of
our country was threatened. 1t is graft
fying that the citizens of New York were
able, wi,hou. material all from the State
or nation, to put down this dangerous in
surrectiOn.
For a time tie Nation had not the
means to protect its own arscnals and ma

seized them all, aud then used armaments
for the destruction Of shipping and the ci~
tv itself, to say nothing Of the vessels
which were at ,Lat time engaged in burn
ing our merchant ships almost within sight
of our coast.
The Governor also complains that no
credit has been given to the city for the
number of volunteers sent, and the noble
eyer'ions of the militia in time of peril -
He therefore asks for suspension, at
least, of the draft, ill its consti,utionality
is tested.
The President in reply under date OF
August 18th, saws he cannot suspend the
draft in New York, because the time is
too important.
He admits of a disparity of the quota.
in different sections. and accounts for it
bv the fact that SO many more persons fit
for soldiers are in the city than in the
country, who have too recently arrived
from Europe to be in the census of 1860
Still he would not consider that reason
sufficient lie would direct the draft to
proceed, drawing only an average quota
Of all the districts
After this drawing the city districts shall
be carefully re-enroiled that the Govern
ment agents may witness cverv stem Of the

Remarks Of Judge Orton.

hon. HARLOW >. ORToN, the present
Judge OF the Dane county Circuit, on be-
ing elected permanent President OF the
Democratic Stale Convention, was greeted
with enthusiastic applause, and addressed
the large assemblage as follows:
He said he would not detain the Con-
vention long in returning his thanks for
the honor conferred, but he was deeply
grateful for it, and would do bis best in
performing its duties. There never was
such crisis in the history of The nation as
the present one, and during the history Of
an administration of government. more
radical measures had never been presented.
The Democratic party was characterized
cause it was hostile to such an administra-
ton. We are not arrayed against the
government. ApplauseI 1t is foul IL
bel upon the Northern and Pacific States.
If the party is srrayed against the govern
ment, God help tit is gone. Who las
greater interests at stake in the country
than those upon this floor? In charity we
must view those making such charges, as
having only political object.
"The Democratic party has perhaps not
now the same issues as years ago, bat it
has the same vital principles at stake,
upholding 'he Constitution ana protectia 9
the ri yhts Of the peopIe,-and with this
view We should al be Democrats, and let
minor issues 90. We accept the issue pre-
sented by our opponents. We are in IA
vor of the Union as it was. and its preser-
vation. We regard the Constitution as
only less sacred than the decalogue re-
ceived from Moses, and doubly damned is
he who would violate one Of its articles
[AppIause Our opponents do not desire
IA restoration OF the Union as it was. No
more union with shareholders Is that
the Union AS it was? No more Union
with the followers of George Washington,
because he was STAKEHOLDER! Is that the
Union as it was? The party row in pow
er Is against the Union AS it was, from
their policy in administering the govern
ment, and we are for il as it was. The in
ception Of this war was a post infamous
political trick. There were those who
wished to get delegates to attend conci'-
iatory convention at It's beginning, but
;hey were spat or. Il at that time the
voice Of the conservatives lad beer needed
who could believe there would have been
war? But there has been a war, AS
shown by the becatombs Of the slain, and
language fails to depict its horrors.
1T would not be proper for me to fol-
low the Administration through its VIOLA
tions Of good faith and justice. Suffice it
70 say that the war is not anv IN ore for the
Union. The day will come that those
who have violated the Constitution Of the
United States, will be tried bv it. We are
for war for the Union ir force is necessary
There has been a wel-grounded fear that
our party might 60 too far. bat remember
that its platform especially inculcates ODE.
dience to law and order"
The speaker, after other eloquent and
pertinent remarks, concluded in the midst
of heart! and continued applause.

TOWN AND COUNTRY.

A RIcn ScENR-A very amusing scene
took place in this village on Saturday af
ternoon--.he hero Of which was our
neighbor of the TriJune--and We would
lie glad to keep it a profound secret we're it
not already in the m Dulh Of every one in
the town. Our bathing house is situated
on the south side of the river, about two
rods from shore, 10 which it is securely
held by several ropes. Our friend Of the
Tibune--he will pardon us the expression
ON the afternoon referred to, was luxu>
rating in the pleasure of bath in the
male apartment, while several ladies were
going through the .ame operation IN the
female tubs. At once a sudden squall
struck the estal lishment, when some
vicious boys who had been watching
matters as boys generally will watch
cried out that the lines had parted, and
that the house was ofoat! The Tribune
editor was struck with consternation--
visions Of .hipwreck and disaster at once
lloated across His brain his mind wa, par
al, zed, and forgetting the 6raucry exhib-
tied by him in Mexico, and his lady friends
on board the ba'h-house--which haa not
nored an inch, and was no, likely to--he
made a desperate lunge for the shore in the
same apparel that fathe, Adam was cloth
ed when he frst became acquainted
with mother Eve. Two of the ladies', not
to be outdone by the agility Of their heroic
companion, followed the gallant Captain s
lead, and reached terra .frma in safety,
in a condition which would probably
raise no blush on the cheek Of our first
female parent. The scene was most
ludicrous one, and was witnessed by many
J persons. 1t is probable the matter nigh,
have been kept silent had not the Trii.
oune man himself exposed his misfortune
by writing seyera! letters to certain old
| bachelor lawyer, accusing him Of being
the author OF the Tale. 10 this our legal
friend demurs, and insists that he is vic
tim Of slander. Correspondence on the
subject has already taken place, and it
is no. improbable that duel may shortly
come off between the editor and the
lawyer. 1t is at least due to the Tribune
mans gaitontry that an apology should
come from the lawyer, if be is guilty. II
he is innocent-and We verify believe he
| is-then the retraction should come from
| the editor. As the facts above stated are
true, We cannot see how our editorial
neighbor will make much cut Of a muss,
| and we advise him to lake another bath.

From Charleston,

II is stated that the new battery erected
10y Gen. GILMORE on Morris Island is
mounted By the largest guns ever cast at
the North. When these are opened ag'st
Sumter, it is asserted that the Fort must
speedily surrender. The steamer s. r.
Spau!ding, which arrived at Fortress
Monroe on the 7lh, reports that the siege
of Charleston was progressing favoraby
on the 4th instant, when she passed off
the lar.
The Richmond Eraneiner is gloomy
over the prospects at Charleston, and says
the fail Of that place will be The most
mortifying and disastrous event Of the war,
and fatal blow 10 the cause Of the Con
federacy. 1t is generally thought, how
ever. that it viii take weeks, if not months,
TO reduce the CITY.

nomination Of Secretary Of State was
forced upon him by the Democracy Of
Wisconsin, and the vote he then received
against the most popular candidate on the
Republican ticket attests his popularity.

Senate, and was the first in position

he was one Of the Federal Judges Of Ne

"For State Superintendent tho Conven-
ton nominated Hon. NoLSEy French, of

is one Of the oldest and mos. respected
residents Of the State. For many years
he was Judge Of kenosha county. Hav-
