vor oil terminating The war.
MIR. VuiIandigham addressed large au-
dience in front. of the courthouse his
evening. lie expressed great satisfaction
at the-change OF The public sentiment, and
confidence that peace. and Cancellation
would restore Union.
CHICAGO, August 28-1l P. M.-An
immense crowd has poured in from all
quarters. Mcclellan and anti-McClel-
Ian feeling runs very high. Mcclellan
men may. endeavor to abolish the two
third rule, but the success of such course
would break up the convention. Ohio is
strong agains, him. Indiana and Illinois
are divided. He will have majority in
the convention and will probably be nom
mated on the first ballot.
1t is no, probable that Gov. Parker will
be nominated if Gen. Mcclellan be put for
ward as a citizen of New Jersey. Mr.
Pendeton, of Ohio, or Mr.. voorhees,, OF
indiana, will probably be placed on the
ticket with him, To concliate the Vest
II peace platform be adopted, the peace
party will accept Gen. Mcclellan. il any
other is agreed upon, there will be an ex-
plosion. But it is almost a positive GER
taiuty that the platform will be the cor
rect exposition of democratic sentiments.
The Vice-Presidency is hardly thought
of. All interest ctnters in the nomination.
for Chiei-Magisirate and the platform.
The New York delegation held eau
cus'ast evening, and had an informal meet
ing this evening They will vote as a
unit for Mcclellan and favor an armistice
aud convention.
Especial Despatch to the Ne,o York 7ribune.l
CHICAGO, August 28,h, 1S64.-Mc-
Clallan's friends claim his nomination by
two thirds on FIRST ballot, but the OPPOSE
lion only concede majority vote. New
Y oyk has been bought over almost solid
for Mcclellan, andtihe Pennsylvanians
give majority. The peace men are bent
on making such strong peace platform
that Mcclellan can't be nominated on it.
| The Mcclellan men concede demand for
armistice, but wish an additional plank in
favor of war. in case the rebels won't agree
to armistce. It is reported that Extra

terest OF peace. He says the South won't
come back urder Lincoln, but will under
Fillmore. Outside candidates are not talk
ed of at all; Fremont never mentioned.-
The Woods are shy of Seymour's caution
ing their friends against him. New York
is the commanding delegate. Vallandig-
ham is the hero of the hour. He is fol-
lowed by crowds wherever he goes.
Second Days Proceedings.

tee on organization, reported the comma

When quiet was restored, MIR. Seymour
proceeded to address the convention, as
follows:
Gentlemen Of the Conuention-I cannot
foretell the resolutions and action of this
convention, but say tina, every member
Of it loves the Union, desires peace, and
will uphold constitutional freedom.-
While the resolutions and action of this
convention are of the utmost importance,
there are additional reasons why the Dem
ocratic party should be restored to power,
and they are great reasons.
The Democratic party will restore the
Union, because it longs for its restoration.
1t will bring peace, because it loves peace.
1t will bring back liberty to our land, be-
cause it loves liberty. 1t will put down
despotism, because it hates the ignobIe
tyranny which now degrades the Ameri-
can people. Four years ago convention
met in this city, when our country was
peaceful, prosperous and united. It's del
egates did not mean to destroy our Gov
eminent, to overrun us with debt, or to
drench our land with blood; but they
were animated by intolerance and ianati-
cism, and blinded by an ignorance of the
spirit Of our institutions, the character oi
our people and the condition of our land,
They thought they might safely indulge
their passions, and concluded to do so-
They would not heed the warnings of our
fathers, and did not consider that med,
ding begets strife; and their passions
have wrought out natural results.
They were impelled TO spurn all meas
ures of compromise. Step by step they
have marched on the results from which
at the outset they would have shrunk with
