JoHN:-I left home on Wednesday
yesterday intending to go to Chica.
';go, but train Of events, in addition to the
regular train commanded by Geo. Reddng-
ton, the good .natured and courteous con.
ductor brought me Lerc. Let the explain :
The steamer ride with Capt BIsBEE of the
Alamakee was very pleasant one only
it is much farther now from McGregor to
Pr. du CHEN than it used to bel should
think the distance was at least trebled il
not more, to accommodate the people OF
Upper Town; all right enough because it
IS in pursuance Of the interest of the par
ties effecting the change, and, in these de-.
generate days, when even the blood Of our
best men is made to fertilize the Golfers of
mock patriots, he who does not keep watch
and ward, over his own interest is not ere
dited with good sense and there are very
lew in the world who would commend him
for generosity. Well We got to Prairie du
CHEN and there met "Brick," Merrill, of
the Courier, and Mr.. Fay of the Prairie,
bound to Madison as delegates to the State
Convention held there yesterday. Believ.
ing the night train into Chicago would be
more pleasant than the day ride-the dust
and heat to Madison were almost unbear.
able--we readily yielded to the request of
friends to stop over at the Capitol and see
the "unterrified" in Convention. The stop
paid us very well. The delegates were
about A. earnest-looking men as we ever
saw assembled; most Of them of middle
age and over, and but very few under 80.
The Convention was called only to select
delegates to Chicago on the 4th and to ap-
point electors for the November race. The
proceedings you will see reported in the
Neaos Of this morning. No resolutions were
passed for the excellent reason that the
Democratic party want to speak as unit
ut Chicago and oil minor views, such as
pertain to States or sections, the expression
of which might divert our people from the
one resolve viz: to rid this poor bleeding
country Of quack Administration that is
tharrying it to perdition, were properly
waived. Mr.. Lincoln has been in council
with board Of physicians, Chase, Stanton

of the august invalid. An experiment with

By our countrymen in the hope that

certainly do not fear that any Doctor wht
may be chosen can make the case worse

more learned expression, particeps eriminis.
How would Banks look, or Butler, or Cam

any other of the ten thousand rats who

time to settle their differences as to policy !;
then put a good man on tho track and
"How are you, Abraham ?"
The Tribune Of to-day, in its rigmarole
Of slavery against Democracy and its men,
has one good thing: the editor ridicules the
postponement Of our Convention as coward

landigham promised not to make any
speeches till after the Chicago Convention,
and to keep him quiet our folks put it off
as long as possible! A good joke any how.
