The New York Tribune to-day publishes an admi-
rable article ON the coming Convention in our
city, from which II would appear that New
York will be represented by about as many sets
of delegates as we can boast Of. In fact, we
are outrivalled. We have only so far the De-
mocratic, which is of some Importance, and the
Conservative Republicans, which number some
twenty or thirty, all told. The following is the
best part of the article:-
"We are rather interested in the maneuyres
of the Old Man and his people 10 get up the
New York delegation 10 the johnson Couven-
ton. New York has generally been a trouble
in national conventions, anu il res not seem
that the RANDALL-NIBLACK concern is to escape.
We have heard of three different delegations
duly arranged and decided upon-and we should
not be surprised If the number reached twenty.
The Convention is fixed Just at the
time when people who have business to
do can easily get away. Then Phila-
delphla is charming suburban city. Its
butter has received world WIDE praises and
the Schuylkillriver is pleasant summer resort.
We know of no place more tempting to the
weary merchant; not even Saratoga, nor Long
Branch, nor Newport. In these torrid months
a trip to PhiladelDha is invigorahng and health.
lul. So we are not surprised to find Mr.. VAN.
DERBILT and Mr.. ROBERTS aid Mr. ASTOR and
MIR. JEROME and Mr.. STEWART and MIR. DREW
and MIR. TAYLOR and Mr.. LUDLOW making
arrangements to visit Saratoga on the 9th TO
BrOtherly Love TO inhale the sweet breezes
that blow through its pastoral highways
''Tnese solid men will have high old time in
Philadelphia, and be immensely lionized. Phila-
delphia loves rich man, and We can imagine
the ecstasy with which its citizens would look
upon Mr.. VANDERBILT, Mr.. STEWART, and MIR.
AsToR going up Chestnut street in an omnibus
driven by Mr.. THURLow WEED. Mr.. JEROME
will not find quite as much business in Third
street as he does in WALL nor will Mr.. DREW
meet an active demand for Erie among those
cautious Quakers. If THURLow does not know
Philadelphia very well, he can get assistance
from MIR. WILLIAM b. REED and MIR. RICHARD
VAUx, provided he can meet the latter person in
one o. his lucid intervals, about the time when
the moon Is gibbous. for instance. Our
solid men would see Independence Hall, and
the Farmount Water Works, and get a feed at
the Copperhead Club, Mr.. REED in the chair,
giving experiences in neat, mincing way of
his devotion to the war, and his sacrifices in
the cause of the Union, and his efforts TO make
band of music also and a visit to the Academy
OF Music, and an ovation in the Prince or Wales
box, the whole winding up by visiting the cele-
brated Penltentlary, an institution which Mr..
WEED Will be probably interested to know is
conducted on the entirely novel principle OF
separate confinement, due attention beng paid
to the morals of the prisoners and their spiritual
welfare, special corridor being reserved for
thieves and jobbers
Possibly there will be d compromise. Why
not make up mixed delegation? Let THURLow
put ms Wits 10 work, and unite the three into
one. Tammany, tor instance, might furnish
TWEED, BRENNAN, and CORNELL; Mozart, TUCKER
and the WOODS, WEED, VANDERBILT, ROBERTS,
and As1oR This combination would undoubt-
edly impress the Convention. Mr.. CORNELL,
and Mr.. AsToR, and Mr.. WOOD, ana Mr.. ROBERTS,
and MIR BRENNAN, standing hand in-hand
around the Presidential policy, under
the paternal direction of Mr.. THURLow
WEED, would be spectacle worth going all the
way to Philadelphia to witness. So long as such
men unite, the country is safe. SO long as our
VANDERBILTs, our BRENNANs, and our AsToRs
remain together, and drive in the same wagon,
the President may feel comtorted-espeeially
when he sees on the coach box the venerable
and stately t. W., his face radiant with the
felicity that can only come from long life OF
devotion 10 truth and honesty and patr otism-
and several other things, and, sitting behind, the
agile Mr.. RAYMOND. not so strongly devoted to
the wagon or its driver as to hesitate about
jumping off when it suits his own little purpose,
and entering the next team that comes along"
