THE PHILADELPHIA CONCLAvE

Spirits-VaIiandigha in Particu-
lar-The Ohio Delegation.


Especial Correspondence Cleveland LEADER.l
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 18th, 1866.
For three days past the political center
and focus of the American Republic has
been transferred from Washington to the
halls, and parlors and bar of the Continen-
tai Hotel of this city. In them black
spirits and white, blue spirits and gray,
rebels, copperheads and disciples of the
new school of Republicanism aptly styled
"Bread and Butter" meet and mingle.
Since Saturday morning delegates from all
quarters of the Union have been pouring
in upon the city. Every hotel and board
ing-house is crowded, but the Continental
is the political center-here the Execu-
tive Committee has been for forty-eight
hours in almost unintermitting session.
here the various delegations have their
headquarters-here the necessary caucus
ing and wire-puliing and cork-pulling is
being done-and here consequently every
delegate rushes for conelave and consul
tation. Its halls and lobbies present a
varied and animated scene. Here you
may see the glad reunion of the two
wings of the Democratic party which
parted company at the Charleston Con-
vention, and which this Convention is in
tended to reunite and reconstruct. Here
and there toe, among the throng, you can
catch sight Of stray ofice-holder or
otfice-seeker-some ex-Republican, who
loves his party and his principles
yet but loves his salary more,
and is doing his mean and bitter and
nausesting work 10 keep or gain place
under government. You can tell these
men wherever you meet them. They look
like strangers. They feel out of place.
They are ashamed Of themselves. Nobody
speaks to them, for the Democrats and
rebels who run the Convention, though
they love the treason, despisc the traitors.
They have sold their birth-right for a
mess of pottage, and they viii bitterly la
ment their bargain in the days to come.
The Copperheads and the rebels, on the
contrary, are in high feather, and carry
themselves jubilantly and joyously.
DRAMATIs PERsoNAE.
These halls and parlors are full of noted
politicians busily moving to and fro, but
ton-holing delegates, gathering in knots
and caucIses, promensding restlessly in
the Office, and running frequently to the
bar where many a new political alliance
is cemented with liquor, and where many
an eK-Republican is proving the sincerity
Of his conversion to CoppeJohnsonism by
copious draughts of good Democratic
whisky. Here you see Randall, the
caller of the Convention and our new
Postmaster General, bland and portly,
susve and subtle, with capacious stomach,
and handsome horid face, crowned with a
high, bald forehead. Here is that old
man of the sea, Thurlow Weed, smoking
the inevitable cigar, and holding eonfab-
ulation deep with the Busbeyan Bigler,
with Tilden, with Woodward and other
Copperheads of that ilk. Montgomery
Blair is no less active. He is everywhere
quick, audacious, voluble, full of fercs
energy. Add Doolittle and Cowan and

was applauded with all the hearliness which
had remarked the reception of Vallandig

COMMITTEE on RESOLUTIONS APPOINTED.
Tho Committee on Resolutions was then
announced, with Cowan as Chairman. As
the names were read, il was plain that the
Southern mol and the Copperheads were
the most warmly applauded.

the element of which the body was made
up, as the reading of Vallandigham's let
ter. S. S. Hayes, of Illinois, moved
that the Committee on Resolutions and
Platform be instructed to furnish delegates
with printed copies of their report at the
time it was made. The object was to pre-
vent the leaders from forcing the Conven-
vention to swallow such a platform as they
choose to report DoOlitue promptly ruled
that the resolution 10 print, must, under the
rule, so to the Committee on Resolutions
without debate. Of course he knew better,
but the plans had all been laid to run pre-
pared platform through. Hayes raised
point Of order that it was entirely proper
for deliberate assembly to order a report
printed, and then in a bold speech declared
that no committee should cram its own
views down the throats of those who thought
as he did. He gloried in the Democratic
party; was proud to be member of it, |
and if there ever was a patriotic party his |
party was such
Up to this time it had been the plan of |
the managers to report the proposed Plat
form at once, but it was No longer practi-
cable, and Cowan appeared from the Com
nittee, which had retired, and said that
after short consultation, it was evident that

lion adjourned at quarter before two.

like building of pine plank, whose roof is
still unfinished. It will seat perhaps
three thousand people, at fair estimate,
and was not more than two-thirds full to-
day. Iha arms of the various States hung
around the building, and over the plat
form hung the national colors, and above
them the names of all the States, with the
dates "l776, 1866 and the motto Uni
ted we stand, divided we fall" Before
the opening of the Convention the band
played miserably a variety of pieces. 1t
was noticeable that while Rally round
the Flag was received with significant
silence, Dixie was greeted with raptu-
rous cheers. The entrance of the Massa-

theatricals. 1t was appropriate, too, for
the Massachusetts copperheads who COM
posed that delegation have been yearning
for four years for this glad greeting with
the Wade Hamptons and Magraths and
Orrs of the Palmetto State.
The selection of John \. Dix as tempo

the johnson policy at about the same
time, and both left for Philadelphia on
the same train. The two assessors frater-
nized passably well, though each was
ready to discount the other in enthusiasm
for Andy johnson. At Wellsville they
dined ris-a-Uis, and both gave good evil
dence that political excitement had not
hurt their appetites. But at Pittsburgh
Assessor No. was left behind, the train
starting while he was buying his ticket.
