The elements which combine 70 form this
Convention--according to published reports
which we abstraot--seem TO be very unset
tied. Before the meeting of the Convention
on Monday the delegates from the sevel al
States assembled and talked over matters
Many honest kind OF men said they mad un.
derstood that the affair was 20 be a oonserva-
tive one; ; but all indications pointed 20 Cop
p,rbead.s .sm as the ruling power in the Con-
ventlon and elsewhere. This they aid not
approve. The Ohio delegation treated this
matter 10 practical manner, and appointed
a committee TO confer with the democratic
State Central Committee OF that State and
request the Withdrawal Of their whole Stale
ticket, Congressional candidates and all, and
nominate Conservative Republicans tor the
several offices. Ii has already been mention
ed that the New Workers. are displeased with
the Democratic monopoly Of all the State
nominations. In every aspect the Conyen-
tion is mixed ahair, and probably cannot
be weIdsd into unanimify. Even the keeuesi
OF the Office hunters among the members feels
ooldly toward the business Of indorsiug the
President as the idea is generally abroad
amons them that, even had they possession
Of 1fiice II would be only temporary one, as
their appointments would not be con6rmed.-
Thus with cold water dluratively thsown on
democratic assumptions and on the prospects
Of the office seekers who constitute the bulk
Of the mem bers, and actually on the circus
tent, through which it streamed on the Con-
vention at us meet ng, the prospect Of the
members we're Of the dampest description
A dispatch from Cleveland says:
The tent was veil filled, but The faces OF
the delegates we're anything but bright
They had expected a grand recep ion from
the people Of Cleveland, and their great dis
appointments make their hearts ache. The
inhabitants seem TO have no symp thy with
the motives Of the Convention. They eyi.

'reat them with cold contempt To teach tAeu
a lesson. There is n enthusiasm, no admir-
ing crowds 10 cheer the strangers, no flag.
Or banners flying to celebrate the occasion
mo- signs Of welcome Of any kind, save the
silence OF the people. The only persons whC
uniurl the old flag in honor Of the Convention
are those who have an eye TO business. This
awful cold reception given to the Convention
is bitter rebuke 60 he more sensitive and
well intended OF the delegates. - Boston

0, why Seward, have you repudiated the
principles TO which you so long adhered p
Why have you, who was once manager ia

first love to turn to one that is unworthy Of
you: unworthy OF your strong-I would say
grea. and noble-mnd
But why need we ask these questions
when your past history 30 plainly tells the
tale. Let US turn to it. In 1856 you, in
your native Stale, first bro ght to light the
great doctrines Of irrepressible conflict, and
through the West your eloqaence, in adyo-
oa.ing these doctrines, reused the heart of a
mighty people, who in turn looked to you as
the exponent Of great power, embodied in
those principles, aad upon which the power
ful party which, at your nod, then sprang in
to existence. based its articles of faith
Again in 1860 your voice was heard, and the
people rallied around you as their standard
bearer, and won the victory in the election Of
Abraham Lincoln. But how was it one year
later when the irrepressibe conflict" " be-
came such not only in word but in deed /;
when our national difficulties were left to the
arbitrament of the sword You, Seward,
was the first among the leaders TO shrink
from the contest; you, in your cowardice,
feared to meet the issdes maniully; feared
that the result might be disastrous to North
ern interests but most of all feared that
war would crush your deeply laid schemes
for the Presidential chair.

lain; that ia the rock on which you have foun-
dered needing not Webster that went
down before you.
But master mind guided the affairs OF
the nation, that could not be moulded to
your will, and 80 the conflict went on, and
how gloriously it terminated you need not
be told.
You in the meantime was nearly lost sight
of in attending TO matters of more vital i'm
porlance in other Departments than your
own. Let us Sc how the affairs left in your
charge were conducted; eowardly weakness

GEN: LoGAN's CoMMENT.-ln recent

the third section ofthe Constitutional Amend
ment, prohibiting traitors who had violated
their oaths to support the Constitution Of
the United Sta es, from holding responsible
offices in the State or National Governments,
said
"Why is the Democratic party opposed to
this Do they want jeff. Davis again in the
Congress Of the United States 80, but
there is no danger of that" they say. " he is
in prison" But he would be out of prison
if Johnson were not afraid OF public senti-
ment. II a court were to convict him, how
ever. believe Johnson would let him hang
not because he though. he deserved it,
but because he ia afraid he will be a formid-
able opposing candidate for the Presidency
at the next Democratic Convention. (Great
laughter and cheers.) l don't want to see

want to see Alex, Stephens there any more
nor do want to see any traitor there, wheth-

DR. LEWIS GYMNAsrIo EXHrBlrIoN-A
very large and intelligent audience gathered
in fremont Temple last evening to witness
the exercises Of the graduating class of DR..
Dio Lewis Gymnaiue Training School fer
teachers. A few preparatory remarks were
made by John d. Philbrick, Esq. Superin-
tendent Of Public Schools in this city, setting
forth the benefits OF gymnastic exercises AS
part of the education of our youth. The
class, which numbers thirty-fve ladies and
gentlemen, then went through with their va
rious exercises to the sound of piano music.
The first exercise consisted Of various move-
ments Of the limbs and body, the second Of
movements with wands or rods the third
with dumb bells, and the fourth with rings.
The ladies, who formed about half the class,
were dressed in their gymnastic costumes,
mostly Of bright colors, and looked very pret-
ty and picturesque ; and the two sexes being
intermingled their nimble movements and
changing attitudes often presented the ap-
pearance ofa kaleidoscope. They kept ex-
cellent time With each other and with the
music, and many of their movements we're
quite graceful, while all were well calculated,
apparently, to dyelope and strengthen the
muscular system. Some Of the attitudes pro-
duced very striking aud beautiful tableaux,
and simply as an exhibition alone il was
very pleasing spectacle. As a demonstra-
tion how physical exercise may be combined
with mental pleasure and exhilaration, it was
very interesting. DR.. Lewis system possess
ses evident advantages, especially for the fe-
male sex. lntermissions of ten or fifteen
minutes between the exercises we're needul
to enable the classes to rest and these inter-
walls were occupied with interesting remarks
by DR.. Lewis, Rev. James Freeman Clarke,
Rev. DR.. Miner, Mr. Sheldon and Mr.. Allen
of West Newton. The exercises which we're
greeted with frequent applause, closed with
the singing of 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
by Miss Roberts of Philadelphia, the audi
ence joiningin the chorus.--Boston Journal.

COMING AUTUMS.-Alas for the summer
The grass is still yerdant on the hills and in

dense as ever, and as green; the flowers are
abundant along the margin OF the river, and
in the hedge-fows, and deep among the
woods; the days, too, are as leryid as they
were a month ago; and yet in every breath
of wind and in every beam of sunshine there
is an autumnal influence. | know not how
to describe il. Methinks there is a sort of
coolness amid all the heat. and a mildaess in
the brightness of the sunshine. A breeze
cannot stir, without thrilling me with the
breath of autumn, and behold its pehsive
glory in the fair, golden CLEANS among The
long shadows Of the trees. The hjwers,
even the brightest OF them,-the golden rod
aud the gorgeous cardinals, the most glorious
flowers of the year r,--have this gentle sadness
amid their pomp. Pensiye autumn is ex-
pressed in the glow of every one Of them.
have felt this influence earlier in some years
than in others. Sometimes autumn may be
perceived even in the early days Of July.
There is no other feeling like that caused by

rather prophecy, of the years decay, so deli
cIously sweet and sad at the same time -
