At Home.

At Home.
After visit ofa week at Chicago to wit
ness the largest and most important Con-
vention of citizens ever assembled to discuss
the condition of any country on the globe,
the writer of this is again at home, ready
and anxious to do his duty in the extrica.
ton of our bleeding land from the perils
that environ it. A description of the mul.
| titude there assembled, their earnestness
their patriotism, their determination to Sc.
cure PEACE on the basis of UNION, their
harmony, their enthusiasm and confidence
of successful refer to all these in detail is
not Only too great work for our space,
but too gigantic for our capacity. 1t was
| impossible to write while we were in attend.
ance at Chicago, and it is now impossible
| to convey even a faint impression of the
scenes which impressed themselves on par.
Elephants never to be forgotten. 1t was re.
marked by the Tribune that the good be-
havior Of the vast crowd was one Of the
most remarkable. features of the Conven-
ton. The Tribune and its readers may
infer that this mammoth assemblage of the
PEOPLE was not there to spree or to riot.
They gathered to look each other in the
face and to learn, one of the other, if there
was yet hope of the restoration of Union
and Peace and barrier against the inva-
sion Of their civil rights. TO inquire if we
yet had government or il it was already
swallowed up by POWER, acting in defiance
of Law, either social or political. The
Convention solved the question, and in the
unanimous nomination Of Mcclellan gave
promise to the world of restored unity of
the States of America.
Suffice it for the present that the Conven.
ton was presided over by the illustrious
Gov. Seymour Of New York--that it was
the most talented body of men ever con.
vened in America, that it was as harmoni-
Gus as family at home, that 20, 600 persons
witnessed its elaboration under one roof
and applauded in such thunder tones as
carried terror to the Shoddies, that not less
than 100000 (some say $50, o0O strangers
were in the city. From this it may be
judged that no gathering Of equal interest
ever was seen in America. Next week we
will try to give some incidents Of the Con-
vention. ae }1 N

Ratification.
The writer of this did not reach home in
time on Friday night last to witness the
grand outpouring of our citizens, who as
senbled at short notice to ratify the nomi
nations at Chicago. We saw the conclu.
sion, however, and it told us of a demon
stration unparalleled in the history of this
city. JOHN, who aods a witness, has gone
from home and a detail of the proceedings
by his pen is impossible. Capt. Phil.
DORIS Peace maker opened the ball with a
salvo OF very loudsounding artillery, the
city was illuminated, bonfires lighted up
the streets, rockets glanced sky ward, the
CoRNEr Band, one Of the best in Iowa or
in any other State, played their finest airs,
large procession was formed which, head
ed by the Band, made the circuit of the
city cheering and being cheered at the
houses of well known citzens. Many pri-
vate houses were beautifully illuminated -
we have heard that of Dr.. Hunt spoken
of as tastefully arranged in colored lights,
making an elegant appearance. On arrival
at the stand on the Square, Judge Baugh
was called to preside. Jno. T. Stoneman
Hon. d. Hammer, T. Beckwith and Judge
Baugh addressed the very large audience.
