PHILADELPHIA. Aug. II, 1866.
Cardinal ThurlOw is a happy man. His

he was carried on the score of expediency
and appeals from all quarters to aid the
Democratic cause by preventing a row and
a bolt in the convention. Your cOrrcspOn-
dent is assured by a Western delegate and
former Union soldier, that there would have
been the biggest kind of row if he had not
been Kept out. So ValIandigham, at the
eleventh hour. yielded, and has withdrawn
from the convention. He resisted all i'm
portunities yesterday, and was firm in his
determination to participate as delegate
until nine o'clock this morning The OppO-
sition to him was becoming more and more
intense until this morning, when a majority
of his Democratic colleagues from Ohio
united in a request that he would withdraw
for the sake of harmony. The Ohio Brcvct
Republicans had determined to withdraw
in body in case Valland,, .liam insisted
on remaining. General Joe Geiger and a
few other OhiOans were becoming quite
demonstrativc on the subject at the Cont
mental and Girard House. Geiger gave no
tice that if Fallandigham attempted to
speak in the convention he would dcnOunce
him in unmeasurcd terms. While there
was a strong pressure inside the cOnven-
ton against Vallandigbam, there was out
side strong party in his favor. lie was
waited upon yesterday and the day before

delegates and outsiders, requesting him to

OF the harmony of the convention must be

the two Ohio delegations were suddenly
called at nine O'Clock. All were present
except Nallandigham. The subject of Val

no definite action was reached The Bre-
vet Republicans withdrew in half an hour,
leaving the Copperheads ia session. Val
landigham entered the room. held brief
interview with few of his COpperhead
colleagues. and then withdrew. A resO-
luton was then offered by Judge Van
Trump, of Ohio, asserting the right of Val
landigham to a seat in the convention as a
delegate. and denying the right To object TO
his admission, but declaring. for the sake
of harmony in the convention, that the
Ohio Copperheads would consent to his
withdrawal. This was adopted by unan

that while he denies the right of the con-

Nallandigham demanded and received his
ticket of admission as a delegate to the
convention. and he regards this act as
quite triumph. Ii is understood that i'm

PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION

We publish elsewhere the half-hearted
resolutions of the eonglomerate convention
which met in Philadelphia last week. They
suit no one, and no intelligent man will be
deceived by them. The Southern press de-
neunce them, and the loyal North has
right TO be suspicious of declaration pro-
ceeding from an assemblage of Bread and
butter renegades. Copperheads and rebels
Doubtless, the Copperheads will try to
make use of the resolutions as cloak to
cover up their treason, treachery and
shame; perhaps few eminent and respec-
table barnacles will loose their hold on the

cal, and cling to the Hat bottomed craft. A.

1t was from this quarter there came the in
famous and unnecessary assurance that
status of a single individual in the United
States" which cost us the sympathy of the
Hberty-loving masses of the old world, and
gained for us the contempt of the aristocra-
cy of Europe.
The withdrawal of Vallandigham, Fer

ceive the loyal masses. 1t is not claimed
that these men are any worse than thous-

''lOayes and fishes of the new party, but
they have been moro conspicuous than 9th

where is the logic that will exclude them

For our part, we have always regarded it
as great pity that Vallandigham should
have been circumstanced as he was. Under
different influences he would have been as
bold and as earnest an advocate of freedom
as he was of slavery. If the Democrats
will agree to silence that gun, we will give

New YORK, August 1.-THE Herald's
Mexican correspondence rciterates the re-
cent statement from that quarter of an ap-
preaching crisis. which threatens the down
fall of Maximillian's empire. Martial law
has been declared i'm a number of States.
1t has been discovered that the late con-
spiracy in Vera Cruz contemplated the siez-
ure of all military and civil officers belong
ing TO the Empire, in the city and Custom
House. A forced loan was TO be levied on
all French merchants, and the principal
leaders of the conspiracy were then to make
their escape. About one hundred soldiers
were bribed, mostly of the Egyptian Corps,
and the Liberal parties outside the city
We're duly informed of the intention, and

THE IRISH.

The Democrat is i'm trouble about the
prospective loss of the Irish vote in this
county. and true to the brutal instincts of
the party of which it is the organ, advises
the mobbing of those Irishmen who refuse
to vote any longer for aristocray, slavery
and oppression. We should suppose that
COpperheads had learned from experience
that Lynch law is a weapon that can be
used by their opponents as well as them
selves Besides. no Irishman will WAIVER
in his principles ON account of prospec-
tive row. and they will welcome the editor
of the Democrat and his intOlerant hackers
to discussion with sticks. and are ready
to name the time and place. We advise
COpperh5 ads, if they are beaten in the field
of argument. not to attempt to make good
their losses by wreaking their vengeance
upon Irishmen. They, and the fifteen hun
dred thousand veteran soldiers which the
Republican organization contains, are not
of the class that hire substitutes to do their
fighting. and there will be no doubt about
which way their gums will point. should
the Copperhead leaders attempt to inaugu-
rate another civil war in this country. The
LOYAL people of the United States have had
enough of Democratic intolerance, treason
and rebellion. They are determined to adj
vocate their principles wherever the flag
waves, and say to Irishmen and all Others,
act according TO the convictions of your
own hearts, and be not deferred by the men
aces and frowns of party which has not
only proven false to liberty in this country.
but who also interfered against you and in
favor of tyranny and oppression when the
liberty and independence OF Ireland was
within your grasp.
Ed. Vanvalkenburgh. who wrote the ed
itorials in the Democrat last week. Mr.
Osborn being sick and unable to attend to
his duties, is very touchy upon the subject
of attempts by Irishmen to assert their in
pendence Of Copperhead leaders. At the
late Corporation election, when symptoms
of discomfort had been discovered among
the Irish, he denounced the conductor of

Ignorant men, who naturally vote the
Democratic ticket" and he did not hest
tate to charge then, as now, that the Irish
had been bought. He is unable to COM
prehend any higher motives than such as
are awakened by bribery and corruption.
and wonders that Irishmen should aspire
to anything greater or better than to be
''hewers of wood and drawers of water"
for the Democratic party. He welcomes
them to our shores simply because they
vote the Democratic ticket, and opposes
their ''hair-brained expeditions to Canada"
because they are needed here to sustain the
tottering fortunes of that party. Doubt
less, his Know Nothing associate on the
COppcrhead ticket, Mr.. David Howe, feels
grieved at the idea ofparting company with
the ''red-mouthed Irish, whose support he
relied upon in his race for the Office of Sher
iff, for which he has been a candidate for
the past - years.
