The Philadelphia Convention.

The National Union Convention, so-called,
assembled in Philadelphia last Wednesday, in
the Wigwam, the shed built for the occasion.
The crowd was immense. The meeting was
called to order by Postmaster General Randall
and the South Carolina and Massachusetts del
egations marched in arm in arm "amid tre-
mendous cheering" Gen. Dix, of New York,
was made temporary chairman, and the con-
vention opened with prayer. After appoint
ing committees, etc., the convention adjourned
till next day. On Thursday the permanent
officers were chosen-Hon. J. r. Doolittle,
President, and one from each State chosen
Vice Presidents-Ayres Stockly from Della
ware; and one from each State made Secreta-
ries-J, 7. Tharp from Delaware. Vallan-
digham, Fernando Wood and H. e. Dean were
induced TO withdraw from the convention after
being convinced that their war record would
damage the moral aspect Of the enterprise.
This move, however, is regarded as a sham by
many. A committee Of two from each State
was appointed to draft resolutions and an ad-
dress. J. p Comegys and A. Stockly were
on said committee. On the third and last day
a number of resolutions were offered; one to
appoint National Union Executive Committee
and one to appoint committee TO present the
proceedings of the convention to the President,
etc The committee on resolutions then pre-
sented the declaration of principles" (which
we give on our first page) and an address to
the people Of TIE United States, both of which
were 44opteu Dy the convention. The names
Of the executive committee two from each
State) were then resd. J. P. Comegys and E.
L. Martin represent Delaware. The conyen-
ton adjourned sine tIe These are the pro-
ceedings in brief.
Speaking Of the Convention, the North
American says:
1t is said to have laid the foundations of a
new party. We know not how that may be
but IL has destroyed the identity Of the Demo.
cratic party. That organization sent most OF
the delegates to the Convention, and went into
the work with spirit and enthusiasm. But
when the Convention met, the Democrats found
themselves powerless, and instead OF swallow
ing the Convention they were lost In 1t.
A. the South the name will be no longer used,
that of the National Union party being better
adapted to serve the purposes Of the Southern
leaders. Indeed the latter have been telling
the northern, Democrats all along since the
conslnSo9 Of the war that they regarded it az
insdylsable TO rally under the Democratic stand
ard, which has become so odious at the North
on account Of the misconduct of the party du-
ring the war, and this new device OF establish.
ing conservative party under different name
exactly falls in with their views.
II is certainty, then, that this Convention
has abolished the Democrats party. so far az
the South is concerned. The Nat 1al Union
orranization will take its place, and If wa NAV

source Of dscord and contention, tending 10 weaken
the reverence of the American people for its provls
ions and creating we'll grounded fears for the perma
nency of free government in the land.
10. That "taxution without representation" is tyr
amy, aud is directly in opposition to the most cher
ished principles of our government, and that every
hour Of exclusion of the Southern States (lately in
reyot) from participation in Congressional lcgisla-
ton, is a wrong which should be resisted.
IL. That the thanks of the whole couHtrv are en-
inently due TO Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States for his bold and manly defence of the
rights OF the States and his avOwed purpose TO have
those rights prcserved for his unqualified opposition
to the efforts Of the Radical Disunionists in Congress
TO force "negro suffrage" upon unwilling people;
for his satesmanlke vetoes Of the acts OF Congress
known the "Freedmcn's Bureau Bill" aud the
"Civl Rights Bill" for his patriotic efforts to restore
the Union of the States and to to each its
stItutiona right OF representation in Congress; and
we hereby pledge the Democracy of Delaware to
sustain him i'll all his constitutional efforts to uphold
the rights, equality, and dignity of all the States.
l2. That we hereby endorse and approve the acts
and votes Of Senators and Representative in Con-
gress in sustaining the President of the United States
in all his constitutional acts TO restore the UniOn to
establish and maintain the equal rights of all the
States; to prevent the equality of the negro with the
white race TO stay the wastefu extravo 2ance of the
dominant party in their expenditure of the public
money; to prevent the passage by Congress oil the
proposed amendments TO the Constitution, and tc
stem the torrent Of radicalism and fanatacism now
threatening TO overrun and ruin country.
l3. That regard with respect and deep inter
est the proceedings Of the Convention in session
in Philadelphia, and heartily wish them every sue
in all Just and proper efforts to restore the Con
stitution of the United States
On motion, the Convention proceeded to bal

THE DEMOCRATIC CoNvENTIoN.-As antici- |
pated, the Democracy have nominated the pres
ent incumbents of the offices of Governor and
Representative in Congress as their choice for
re-occupancy This was anticipated from the
fact that the party is under the control of the
Salisbury interest, and will be worked for the
benefit of the Salisbury family. However
much individual members of the party may
have preferred others as nominees, they have
to bow the knee to Baal, and help manipulate
the bread and butter machine of the Salisbury
wing.
The resolutions, given in another column,
consist, mainly, of praise for the 6 time-honor-
ed" great" Democratic party, and denun-
ciation Of the "party in power" Nearly all
the resolutions, it will be seen, are of this char
acter. Instead of enunciating some fixed set
of principles for the party to pin its faith to,
as in former times, and as is expected of such
assemblages, the Convention adopted a plan
something of the billingsgate order, and re-
solved to praise their party all they could
and abuse their opponents to the extent of
their ability. The substance of their doctrines
is: all that's good belongs to my party-ail
that's bad belongs to my opponents The
resolution declaring that "taxation without
representation is tyranny is not clear. Is it
meant to apply only to the late rebels, who
have been forced back under Government au-
thority, or is it to include such negroes as own
property and are subject TO taxation?
We suppose the line policy adopted in the
campaign will be after the style of their reso-
lutions instead of advocating line of prin.
ciples, resort to abuse and falsehood, and ap
peal to prejudice instead of reason.
As to the candidates, they are we'll knowr

of the Vallandigham stripe; a radical pro
slavery, State-rights, secession Copperhead

On Monday morning an explosion occurred
on board of q schooner lying near the Hoboken
ferry, New York, loaded with petroleum. She
was soon IN flames, destroying property esti-
mated at from one to two millions of dollars -
Eight or ten lives are said to have been lost -
Three wharves have been destroyed, two i'm
mense storage sheds, fourteen vessels, forty
railroad cars and fifteen thousand barrels Of
petroleum.
The President officially declares that in con-
sequence of the inability of the so-caled EN-
peror of Mexico to make good his prociama-
tion Of blockade with regard to Matamoros and
other ports in possession Of the rightful powers
of Mexico, he cannot recognize the blockade.
The President asserts the freedom ofcommerce
none too soon, and we regard his act as signi6-
cant only of the decline of the Empire. 1t
must be weak, indeed, when our State Depart
ment looks bold.
It is stated that a National Convention Of
