II is not expected that more than tempo
rary organization Of the convention and the
appointment Of the usual committees will be
effected to-day
majority Of both the delegations from
Kentucky are said to be for Mcclellan.
As yet little or no difference Of opinion is
manifested as TO the character OF the platform.
An armistico, a convention Of States and the
adoption of every means consistent with
Christianity and civilization to bring about
permanent and honorable peace seem to be
the points generally agreed upon by all the
delegations.
Vallandigham and Wood are understood to
be pledged to the candidate Of the convention.
Ben Wood, it is said, will support the nomi-
nee unless another convention is called and
ueaCe Democrat Nominated
CHICAGO, Aug. 30.
The platform committee Of the Democratic
Convention have been in session nearly all
night. Vallandigham threatens minority
report if peace platform is not presented
Guthrie opposes him. Many resolutions have
been referred to the committee. The prospect
Of getting through to-day is not favorable
There was an immense peace meeting last eve
ming to influence the platform.
The National emocratic convention reas-
sembled at 10 o'clock this morning. The at
tendance was even greater than Yesterday
Immediately after the Convention was called
to order and prayer by Bishop Whithouse,
Mr. Hughs, chairman of Committee on or
ganizatvn, reported that the Committee una
nimously agreed upon Horauo Seymour for
permanent President Of the Convention. APP
report was adopted by acclamation -Four
Massachusetts, meetings were held last even
ing, all endorsing Mcclellan. More than
60 1000 in the streets
There is not rolling stock enough on the
Michigan, Southern Wisconsin and Missouri
roads, to bring in those who are remaining at
the stations on the roads.
The resolution Of Price Of No. that there
must be free ballot-box, was received in
the Convention with tremendous applause.
CHICAGO, Aug. 80.
The revolutionary tone Of the peace orators
last night fully justifes the recent order pro-
hiblting the introduction Of firearms into his
section Of the country. Armed resistance to
the Administration was recommended. Henry
Warren Of the Rhode Island delegation said
to one of the audience that resistance to
tyrants is obedience to God" He said it
was duty which we owe to our children and
our God to put down the first attempt at ty-
rannioal usurpation If we do not, we de-
serve to be chained to the triumphal chariot
of the negro-loving Lincoln, and dragged
through the land bye-word and a reproach
Little Rhode Island, carried away by the
impulse Of the moment, did lend herself to
the mad project of the Abolition war She
now sheathes the sword and cries: " War is
murder, will not kill my brother" Emulate
her example stand to your guns and be
ready fer any emergency.
Mr.. Eaton of Connecticut said few words
but no other New England man Joined in the
revolutionary harangue. Indeed, some Of
the new converts to democracy didn't seem to
relish the aspec: Of affairs, and followed Gil
mour's Band on its serensding tour
The Committee on Resolutions had
story time of it after organizing, by choosing
James Guthrie chairman He received twelve
votes, Valandgham seven, and the Others
were scattering. Vallandigham, supported
by Gov Pratt Of Maryland and Col. Weller
OF California, insisted upon a most ultra peace
platform, declaring that if this was adopted,
the convention might nominate who It pleased.
he protracted discussion lasted until l
o'clock IN the morning when the projects we're
referred to subcommittee Of three The
real meaning Of the word armistice gives
much trouble, and Vat;el, Story and Wheat
on are freely quoted, yet harmonious result
IS not impossible There is little probabiii .
ty that the platform can be reported this
morning.
Meanwhile the convention will organize
and the peace men will endeavor to avail
themselves Of the occasion as they did yes
terday, to introduce their revolutionary ideas.
Fresh arrivals of outsiders will swell the
crowds in the galleries and give tone to the
proceedings. Even the usually self-possess-
ed s. S. Cox was cowed yesterday by the
Kisses which greeted his motion to refer the
resolution opposing the draft without having
it read.
There are no more tickets for distribution.
and ladies are in demand to secure admission
to the ladies' gallery.
CHICAGO, Aug 80.
When Mr.. Harris of Md. was walking to-
wards his seat, after declared out of order
because of the remark that if Mcclellan was
nominated, he would not support him, per-
son, not a delegate, although sitting within
the circle, said to him you ought to be
turned out Of the Convention, d--n traitor" !
Whereupon Harris turned round. and knock
ed him out Of his chair. This incident con
trbuted much to the general confusion which
prevailed for several minutes
Tonight Harris and Long, and those who
with them, are making strenuous
efforts to secure a one-third vote against Nc i
Clellan; but the latter's friends are sanQuine. =
The conciliatory and pacific course pursued +,
by Guthrie on the committee on resolutions.
seems to meet the warm approval Of the Nc
JlellaniIes, and tonight Guthrie towers up
rs strong candidate for the Vice Presiden. 7
