New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1864-09-01

gates stood on their feet bnt the vast audience not
comprehending tho situation commenced shouting
all around, "Down in 'front.'" "Take your sea's,
and similar cries. This confusion was kept up ABOUT
one minute, and then ceased. That portion Oh .id
PRAYER invoking a blessing for the soldiers provoked
a smile and some remarks about wounded soioers
| being served right.
The calling of the States for credentials caused
considerable cheering. Gov. Seymour handed III
the New-York credentials and was appiaudedlc Loudly,
but the most striking scene was presented when
Messrs. Guthrie and Wickliflc, the chalrnen OF lne
double delegations from Kentucky, presented inc
Joint credentials from that State. The personal ap-
pcarancc of the two gentlemen from heDtuchi
caused q burst of applause from the Convention ana
audience.
The routine work of the Convention proceeded
very rapidly. The Committees were appointed ana
the whole preliminary organization perfected
ready for recess by quarter before o'clock. EX-
Gov. Bger showed his knowledge OF parliamentary
law by allowing motion to lay on the table TO IN
teryeIe after the ayes had been taken-a proposition
TO fix the hour of adjournment pending the call for
the nays The motion 20 lay on the table thus ll-
formally rung in on the Convention was caTied-a
victory Tor the anti-McClelian men,.
All the resolutions were received with applause,
but Mr.. Long, OF Ohio, made the most decided hi'
when he introduced proposition for the appoint
ment of committee TO ask the President In sus-
pend the draft. The crowd III rstood this opo'
siton, and checrcd vociicrousl! There was an
attempt TO choke off MIR. Long, BY one Of his own
delegation, by proposition 20 refer all resolutions
10 the Committee on Resolutions without readings
but he attempt signally failed. The Mcclellan
Ieadcrs-Dean Richmond, Converse, OF Connectl-
cut and few Othcls-canvassed during the reading
OF Longs resolution and there was an immense deal
of whispering and bead-shaking about the proprely
of allowing stump speeches 10 be injected INTO thc
proceedings in this irregular way. But the Nc
Clelan men above all things desire 10 avoid any
open collision with the peace men on minor issues.
They swallowed all the illusions to the war with
the greatest meekncss.
The impression is gaining ground that delay Is
lunfayorable to Mcclellan. The action Of his friends
to-day in the Convention indicates desire To brlhg
on a nomination first; but they are not secure
enough 10 depend on all their men, and h nee they
agreed that the platform should be ettlod be-
ioro any nomination. They are dead set, also,
against admitting any delegates from the Southern
States. MIR. :. j. T1lden, of New York, made q
short speech against admitting the irregular dele
gates from seeded States. While he was speaking,
a New-York delegate approached him from behind
and whispered something IN his ear, and IT occn-
stoned remark, that Mr.. 1iden brought ms speech
10 close a minute after. Thus, all the way
through, and likewise in their lobbying on the
streets and IN lar-rooms the Mcclellan men were
dcsrous OF fastening the business of the Con-
yention. -
Vallaudigham was successful in engineennghlm-
self into the position OF chairman OF the Coniht'ee
egation into nominating him - their choice Tor
committeeman 20 represent the state on The Con.-
mittee. This was hard task, as the Ohioans were
not at first pleased with the forW ardnet Of the mar
tyr in taking the lead 81 everything connected with
the State They remembered his defeat az the State
Convention, where he was candidate for delegate
at large and apparently, disked TO commit the IN.
terest of the whole delegation 10 his keeping, but
Val had hosts If intimate friends, and when thcy
found the wheel within "A wheel they set 10 work to
regulate the matter. IL was carried by hye MAORI
ty that Vallandeham should DO the man. Now that
lie is chairman, he WILL undoubtedly, Try 10 control
the Committee on Resolutions
! The status Of that Committee has been assumed
by some TO foreshadow the iateof Mcclellan. wen,
| the Commiito has been appointed, and Is against
Little Mac by two or three majority.
| The greatest bore in the Convention is George
Francis Train who ~ trying to play the tail to a
| big kite, but didn't succeed The delegates have
humbled him often.
| Tomorrow will be consumed settling the plat
form questions. b. L. w.
