MADISON, Wis, Aug. %, 1865
a sketch Of the proceedings OF the Union
Convention, yesterday, has been sent yon by
telegraph, but neither in snch report, nor
In the more extended limits Of letter, can an
idea be given Of its character and spirit.
There never was an ADLER body Of men, or
one In which all parts Of the State were more
fully represented, assembled here. It was
gathering Of solid, sterling men, Of gray hairs
and wisdom, and Whole-souled, enthusiastic
young men. There wns not a district In the
State unrepresented, and among the delegates
were men who had eeryed their country on
bloody fields, including soldiers with the
rink of General and with no rank, and others
with experience In Legislative hal1s. There
were men who had been Abolitionists, If you
please, for long years, and men who up to
this time had been Democrats Of the strictest
sect; and all were united in laboring with an
eye-eing1e to sustaining the Government and
restoring the Union.
The contrast between the appearance Of
this gathering and that Of the Coppcrhca1s
few days since, was very strongly marked In

encourage our gallant soldiers; scarcely
