ization will be had at the National Guards
Hall, corner of Sixth and Race streets. about
noon.
At consultation of the cnairmen of
State delegations to-day, with the Executive

Indiana, will be temporary Chairman of the
Convention Winthron IF M.Ssoohr,o+.

The Bread-and- Butter Spurnfd.

A. b. Turner, Esq, Collector of Internal
Revenue at Grand Rapids, Mich, and also
editor of the Daily Eagle at that place,
prints an open response to the recent circu-
lar sent to all office holders by A. w. Ran
dali, president of the Executive Commit
tee of the National Union Club" Mr.. Turner
says; Although | am not invited to re-
spond in case l dissent from the terms and
object OF the ''call," | nevertheless deem it
my privilege, as we'll as my duty, to say
that am unable to see how the present I'm
happy condition of a portion of our country
can be improved by the action or influence
OF such Convention as will assemble under
the 'calr'-judging from the character of
many OF the men already selected as dele
gates On the contrary, it plainly appears
to me that the success of such movement
as 1t seems likely, If not designed to initiate,
would be to surrender our Government into
the yet bloody hands OF the traitors against
whose venemous assaults it has cost the best
blood OF our nation to defend it. My con-
fident hopes for the complete restoration of
our once 81 orious Union-made more glori-
Gus by regeneration-rest upon the contin-
ued success OF the Republican party; that
party whose triumph, iii 1860, called to the
Executive chair that pure patriot and wise
statesman, Abraham Lincoln that party
which carried the "Old Flag" in triumnb
through four years of bloody war, presery-
ing unscathed the free institutions which if
symbollzes that party which again tri
umphed In the reelection of the honored
and beloved (now, alas, lamented) Lincoln
in 1864, and through which triumph An
drew johnson became President of the Uui
ted States that party which Through its
true and faithful representatives in Con
gress(, has presented, in my Judgment, a
wise and truly liberal plan for the restora
ton OF peace and harmony throughout the
Union-a plan whose leading features are.

The Philadelphia Convention.

The heterogeneous mass Of northern copper
heads, late southern rebels and traitors with 6
slight sprinking of recreant republicans anC
demagogues known as the Philadelphia Con
vention, have finally got organized, and are Al
work in the manufacture Of the new A. John
son party.
The organization was q work of no small
magnitude, but it was in hands skilled in the
plastic art, and everything was finally smooth
ed down to suit the views of the managers
John A. Dix of New York was chosen tempo
rary chairman, who made q short temporizing
speech on taking the chair Vallandingham
Fernando and Ben. Wood, H. Clay Dean ant
Voorhees, Of Ind, in Difference to the very un
reasonable prejudices of some of the recon
structed republicans were bribed with fai
promises of preferment when the new party
should be fairly under way, to be mere 'look
ers on in Venice and not to claim their seats
as delegates. To outsiders this looks goot
deal like straining at gnat and swallowing
q camel" when such precious rebels as Gener
ais Chalmers, Forrest, Dick Taylor, Ex-Gov
ernor Orr, of South Carolina, and many other!
of the same stripe of rebels, are not only ad
mitted, but made great lions of.
A committee on credentials consisting of one
member from each State was appointed, il
which Wisconsin was represented by one A. Fl
Smith. A like committee on organization wa
appointed, of which Montgomery Blair was
chairman, and in which L. B. Villas represent
ed Wisconsin. Chas. A. Eldridge represents
nv C+o4o -, 4I,So
which Senator Cowan of Pennsylvania, il

The latest news we have is that Senator Doc
