CLEVELAND, May 20.
The Union Convention hero to-day was all that
the most sanguine anticipated, at this season of
the year. At early hour every avenue was
thronged with people pouring in from the country
while every train on the various Railroads was
crowded. No estimate, approaching accuracy, OF
the number can well bo made, but the attendance
was suthcllntly large 10 require Two stands, which
were erected in the public square, and then the
voice of none of the speakers was strong enough to
reach those in the outer circles of the audiences.
A better class of citizens venture to say, never
formed any similar assemblagc in this country.
They We're the intelligent industrious, well -to-do,
the hone and sineY, of which Americans have so
often proudly boasted to foreign Governments.
They were not of shat class given to drunkenness
and profanity, but such as make the land of steady
habits. There was bOistcrOusness, but a sub
dued enthusiasm, such as no disaster could crush
out. Every face wore n cheerful look, which was
pleasantly in keeping with the sunshine above
and sming nature around. They manifested, by
appauding strong war sentiments, their unswerv-
ing war patriotism, and from this faith in the
right and devotion to the cause Of the Union with
freedom, the Administration must derive great en-
couragement There was some disappointment at
the absence of Gems. Batter and Fremont, but
this soon disappeared.

"ALBANY, May 10, 1863.
"MY DEAR SIR | have only time to say in an
swer to your kind invitation 10 address the great
meeting of loyal citizens at Cleveland on the 10th,
that imperative official and professional engagements
will not permit me to accept it. This is much to
my regret, for am anxious 10 commune with the
patriots of the Great West. But God speed you
and the cause. Rebellion is reeling, and its miser
able accomplices and dupes are Quverng so, let
give it "a long pull, strong pull, and pull all
together as they say at sea- and the ratlesnake
aud its mate will be harmless.
Truly yours, ID. s. DICKINSON.
