The Uprising of the Politicians and the
Uprising OF the People. p

From the Herald
The Call for the Philadelphia Convention has
aroused the politicians IN all parts of the couu-
try like a great electric shock. The used-up
leaders of the peace faction, the broken-down
wire-pullers of the Democratic party, and the
feeble and vacillating conservative Republicans
have hastened to declare that they will be
present at the August meeting. Deadand-gone
Copperheads like Mr.. Vallandgham and Mr.
Tom Seymour, have been resurrected by this
call, and revisit the glimpses of the moon, a
little bewildered at the changes which have
occurred since their decease, but still anxious
for a chance at the spoils. From present ap-
pearances the Convention will prove to be the
most curious and amusing gathering of political
nOndescripts ever witnessed; and although 1t
may lay down good platform and aid the good
cause against the radicals, there is now scarcely
shadow Of probability that it will originate
new party.
We believe that the proposition for this con-
Vention emaLated from somebody connected
with that powerful galvanic battery, President
johnson. AT first intended as meeting of con-
terence and consultation, it was soon found to
have walked up all the politicians and aroused
them to remarkable activity. The Woods seized
upon II as drowning sailor cluI Ches ut straw
in the hope OF revlvmg their shattered fortunes
and saving themselves IRON the oblivion into
which they had sunk. They are willing, il
seems, TO contribute all their lottery interests,
their obsolete State rlghls dogmas, their peace
atany-price crotchets, and even that Montreal
check, If they can only be let in among the
brethren.
The hungry and thirsty Copperhead peace fac
tion, long shut out from the public CRIB, are
wild with anxiety about The convention and the
beautiful vista OF offices, plunder, and pickings
which it opens before them. Pendleton takes
the stump, and Valland CHAM and Seymour and
all the rest OF them dance to the music OF Mr..
Ben Woods organ. keeping a single eye upon
the President, IN the belief that he will throw
them bone or crust byand-by. In this city
this class of politicians are also contemplating
the ruins of Mozart Hall, and drawing plans fol
