The Inside of the Convention.

From the communications of the correspondent OF
the New York Herald during The session of the late
Chicago Convention, We may form q clear conception
of the spirit and sentiments which, largely ascendant in
that body, carried almost unanimously the nomination
of Mcclellan at the frat ballot and eolored the Resou
tions.
The main diHasulIy in framing the Resolutions or
articles of faith and purposes Of the Convention, was
IN eoppexon with the word Armistioe," il apuears
and one party in the Committee on Resolutions wished
hs Resolutions should contain clear exposition Of the
s,nse in which i. was used. The other and as 1t seems
the majority, desired to leave the word without such
explanation.
Il appesrs also that tlete existed in the Convention
stroag feeling against the social ed "impractcatl,
men Of Osio," including " l.ndgham, whose power
2, adualy became " weaker" Ths Herald correspond
en-. says with truth doubtless, that large majority in
the Convention we're unwilling to commit themselves
in the platform TO any thing that will prevent con
tiauatiOn of the fighting if settlement cannot bo
made on the basis of restoration Of the Union" By
be light o. this revelation, people may unders and
What sort Of sentiment really embodied in the Rsso-
luton in question.
When they were read In Convention, Mr.. Long, one
Of the 'imprsctcaOc men of Ohio attempted to have
added one to follow after the first resolution in the
words Of the 6est OF the so-eAlled K,nuoky Rs.olu-
lions Of 1898, drafted by Jefferson, affirmative of STATE
K ghts. He also expressed the desire to move an
amendment WI lch would plsce the Convention sin po-
sion avorDg peace beyond the mistake OF any tqaiv
olAl language" Bui his colleague, Mr. L. s. Ocx
moved and pressed the previous question: which was
aken and resulted in the adoption Of the resolutions
with but "ieW dissenting voices"
In the debat,s following the nominations to The
