From Our Special Correspondent
CHICAGO. Aug 30 1864.
Tho outside scenes connected with the proceed
.ass OF the Convention wore kept up yesterday If
Isrnoon and evening, vita the same open treason
Of speech and donuneation Of the war. Speeches
ere made from the balco, es Of oil the hotels BY
speakers and it is an impossiblity to and single
continent Of 6ervent patriotism, love of country
ssut-tnuny with the South in all these nttcrances
Gu the contrary, every speaker seemed TO try his
rest to outdo the last in going 10 tue frthcst Inn
It's Of REASONABLE speech Tbc cnDTd cheered loud
ost whom violent threat or savage assault on the
Government was uttered.
MANY OF the speeches were aimed at Mcclellan,
Sut seemed to be the policy OF The laiters friends
80 keep shady aud allow his opponents TO do the
epeech-making, though occasionally, remarks Ia
vorable to Mcclellan are heard ON the balconies.
Etenry Clay Dean, leading Copperhead nom
iowa, spoke from the Sherman HousG i'll the MORN
fng against nominating any man who had taken
,)aTt in the var. a delegate from Butler county,
Ohio, made the Same remark, and IN the speeches OF
,suGge Birch, of Missouri, ". w. Obren, Of
Peoria, ILL.,, Able McMssiers, Of New-iolk; j. 4.
NJ Johnson, of Missouri, aud Chancey T.. Burr, Of
Philadelphia several sentiments were construed rs
Anti-McClellan and chccred accordingly. This thing
became % one-sded that, in the afternoon, the Nc
Clctan men rallied in front Of the Sherman
House and drowned Van Allen, of Ohio, who
vas making bis fifth speech. stating that the Demo-
ssracy could not consistently nominate any man
@ho bad worn shoulder straps. They Kissed and
sboutod :" put him down" for long time, but Van
Allen combattei them maDtuly until the TedOubt-
allie Isaiah RynderS, OF New York. pushed bis way
20 the balcony and told Van Allen tnat he was no
Democrat and thai he lisyndersj could whip him.
therpshet Of this gentle INTERRUPTION was row in
tho crowd, and couple Of knock downs on tue
Sidewalk. The evening speeches were OF the same
character, and In several instances the speakers
soanseled resistance TO The draft. Theufe % iYree

eustinents JEFF DAVIS viii read and hear oi these
things with pleasure, but the loyal men OF the coin
try will scout them with indignation and disgust.
The groat question oil the nomination Is Stiil de-
lated with vigoI and earncsness by the representa-.
Hyos of the conflicting iaciions. The weight OF
opinion is that Mcclellan VIII ne nominated, IL IS
stated quite positively this morning, that McCisi-
IAN wiz get not only two-thirds, but tAIoe.ouIths
Of the whole vote of the Convention; Tao Western
States OF Illinois, lowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota are now given to Mcclellan by virtue OF
She unit rule though in each OF these states there
N q strong minority adverse 10 McClellih, VINO may
tucceed in making the platform objectionable TO
their colleagues The ain dihleu.ty Of the oppo-
cition ia the want Of strong candidate upon WHOM
they may rally and concentrate.
Gov. Seynours election permanent Chairman
ef the Convention, was toregone conclusion. IL
Ia sianheaut that the Rebel enisssries at Niagara,
Clay, rhoihpso Hoicombe aud Sanders, snggcsted
that Seymour would be a goOd man fortne position,
three or four weeks ago, IN tae presence OF several
citizens of Chicago. Seymours speech was read Oh
Saturday last to q select circle of friends, including
Storey, Editor of the Chicago Times, and is said to
hnyo been approved by them without dissent. IL
was an adroit performance, and although u LAD no
r-ord Of ooBden nation for the rebellions Souin, II
was full of angry denunciation Of the President;
Tho Moposal 10 arrests by force, was received
With trpmenduous applause, waving OF bats, cheers,
end other demonstrations Of satisfaction. lbs een-
