THE PLATFORM AMONG THE SOLDIERS
AND SAILoRs.-After the adoption of the
platform by the Democratic Convention it
was conveyed by one of the members of
the Soldiers and Sailors Convention tothat
body, when the following proceedings took
place:
General McQuade announced that he had
the original manuscript of the platform just
adopted by the National Democratic Con-
yention. and asked that permission be &C
corded to read it to the Convention. This
announcement was received with immense
applause, and loud calls were made for the
reading of the platform. This admirable
document is given at length in the report Of
the National Democratic Convention; but it
may be remarked that its reading was in
terrupted by frequent bursts of applause.
The resolution which calls for the " imme
date restoration of all the States - was re-
ceived with burst of enthusiasm which
shook the building. The demand for
amnesty for all past political offences
was also warmly cheered. GIVE don't
want any Poland here" said delegate.
"Faix no, nor We don't want no Saxon
oppression nayther," said another gem
from Erin's bright green isle. The reso-
luton relating to the payment of the pub
lie debt drew forth demonstration Of
rather mixed and undecided character !;
but ultimately the principles enunciated
appeared to commend themselves to the
majority; and finally the article was
passed with aunanimous roar of applause.
One delegate Immediately cried out, "The
national debt ought to be paid in the law
full coin of the United States" The other
resolutions up to the eighth were received
without much comment, except those in re-
lation to the rights of naturalized citizens,
which, of course, raised round Of cheers
from the citizens of Irish descent. The
grand and stirring rebukes to the Radicals
which succeeded these resolutions awakened
the highest enthusiasm of the audience !;
round upon round of applause interrupted
the reading and at the conclusion "three
times three" were called for, and given with
indescribable force and effect.
Colonel Lew Campbell, Of Ohio, said:
For forty years, gentlemen, l have been
making war on those Democratic platforms.
Laughter and applause.] They never en-
tirely satisfied me. But am free to add
that it gives me unbounded satisfaction for
the first time in my life to say that Ma
tional Democratic Convention has enuncia-
ted declaration of principles that has
ELECTED my cordial appreciation. In early
life how have worshipped those great men
that adorn our history-our Webster, our
CLAY, and others and l recognize in the
very able paper that has been read to us
the principles which those great men enun-
ciated. beg leave to offer the following re-
solution:
RESOLVED, That the declaration of princi-
pies adopted by the National Democratic
Convention be, and the same is hereby, re-
ceived and approved"
The resolution was carried unanimously.
1t was further ordered that the secretary
communicate copy of this resolution to
the National Democratic Convention forth
with.

At 1 o'clock the boll was one scene of

At o'clock the nall was one scene of
excitement, each State anxious to name
| Seymour, and no opposition to him. Penn
sylvania, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Vir-
GINA, Kentucky, and Indiana had pro-
nounced in his favor, and Nebraska, Min
nesota, and Oregon and the rest were e1-
pected to follow. ..
The chairman of each delegation pre-
faced the vote of his State with few re-
marks, and those of the southern and west
ern chairmen met with great applause. MIR.
Tilden, Of New York, was the last to speak,
and in n short speech he thanked the Con-
vention for the honor conferred on his
State.
After about fifteen minutes all the States
had voted for Seymour, and the excitement
was intense, the audience and delegates
standing and waving their handkerchiefs.
The scene was intensified by the sound of
the booming cannon without, announcing
the nomination.
When the vote of 3l7 for Seymour was
announced it was received with the most
enthusiastic applause.
Speculation then commenced about the
Vice. President, and it was generally con-
coded that Blair was the man, though the
Convention adjourned for an hour 20 think
over it.
1t was found out that the Pennsylvania
delegation, in caucus, had agreed on Blair,
and then there was rumor coupling the
name of Ewing with the Office.
During the recess, about 10000 persons
assembled in front of Tammany, and there
was lots of speaking and lots more of cheer
ing. Before the Convention reassembled,
the name of General Morgan, of Ohio, was
talked about for Vice-President.
At half-past 2 o'clock the Convention re-
assembled, and Illinois opened the ball by
naming General McClernand, but that gen.
tleman withdrew it. Then Iowa named
Dodge. After this, Wade Hampton made a
speech amid the greatest excitement and
applause, and cheer after cheer went up
when he concluded by declaring for Blair.
The roll was then called, and Frank P.
Blair nominated on the first ballot for Vice
President, and so declared to be amid great
applause.
The soldiers commenced making speeches
Chiefly ex-Confederate otficers) and when
General kemper, Of Virginia, endorsed
Blair, there was an Improvement on the
excitement created by Wade Hampton's
speech.
The ballot was unanimously for
Blair-Mr. Tilden, of New York, closing up
the matter little after o'clock by concur
ring in the nomination on behalf of New
York.
The closing scenes of the Convention were
