Democratic National Couyeutiou.

Democratic National Contention.
The Democratic National Convention Assem-
bled in New York city on Saturday last. A
large crowd was present, composed of copper.
heads, renegade Union men, office-seekers
bundlers," and very fair sprinkling of men
who lately wore the habiliments of armed
treason. The Convention was organized by
the selection of Horatio Seymour, of New York,
as President, and one Vice President and Sec
rotary from each State. Committees on reso-
buttons and platform were appointed, and this
completed the first days work.
On assembling on Monday morning, it was
found that the Committee on the platform had
met and ha'i quarrelled terribly over the prin
ciples they should present for the government
OF the unterrified," and had not yet been able
to come to any conclusion. The day was spent
in speech making and perspiring, and late in
the evening, no platform yet making its APP
pearance, the Convention adjourned.
On Tuesday morning, the platform was
brought in. 1t tells us the astonishing news
that " secession and slavery are settled for all
the immediate restoration of all the States to
the Union, and amnesty for all past political
offences, (mcaning of course, jeff. Davis and
John II. Surratt, as all other traitors are Sam
"nestied by the proclamation of A. Johnson;)
demands the payment of the public debt as
soon as possible, and the equal taxation of all
property, (Pendlet,n's reputation doctrine
didn't seem to rule the committee y declares
for equal rights and protection for native and
adopted citizens and against doctrine of i'm
"ntnta6le allegiancs;" (what does that last
clause mean p then denounces the "usurpa
"tions OF Congress" and winds up by thanking
A. Johnson for resisting Congress, and for his
other valuable services to copperheadism.-
The platform" was adopted, "amidst the
widest cheering after which the Conven-s
