The meeting at Wagncr's Hall has just
adjourned, and the streets are flied with
enthusiastic and generally well pleased
delegates. The utmost good feeling pre-
walls, and all rejoice in the prospect Of a
grand victory next October. Geuerals
Ewing and McCook having retired before
the meeting vas announced, did not APP
pear as was expected. NJ. Vallandig-
ham, in response to repeated calls, ad-
dressed the meeting at considerable
length.
He was proud of the work Of the Con-
vention, and believed that it had, by drop
ping the dead issues and resolving to
fight the battles on the living ones, or
ganized Il glorious victory, The breath
Of life had been breathed into the De
mocracy anew. The Convention to-day
had performed work that would carry
JOY to every State from the Atantic TO
the Pacific, and from the Gulf to the
Lakes. The contest Of 1872 would be
between Republican Democracy on the
one side and Imperialism on the other
The earnestnesS of this great army Of
delegates gave assurance Of victory. No
one need be alarmed at the stormy ses-
sion of the afternoon. 1t was a good in
dication; when things went too smooth
| it was bad sign. a party that in
scrbes progress on its banners must eX
p2ct opposition and stormy sessions. 1t
was not the Democrats but the Republi-
cans who were alarmed. These signs of
victory caused the Radicals to quake, as
knees of BclshaZzar to smitc together.
They were alarmed at the work Of to-
day's S convention, for he knew well it had
sealed their doom One of the encour-
aging signs to day was the presence here
Of such an army of young men. The
knowledge ofthe fact that the dead issues
were to be ignored, had brought them
here. Show the young men a prospect
Of victory and they would achieve it..
Our dependence was upon them, and into
their hands he was willing to commit the
cause, feeling confident that they would
triumph gloriously.
The Republicans claim to say that we
have come into their ranks If so, why
should they not join hands with us, and
not " bolt' by holding another Conven
ton? We had held the first. Now, if
we, substantially, as they claim, have
adopted their platform, why cannot they
support our candidates? They might be
glad to do so, for not in their whole par
ty could they find their equals.
But the surmise that there would doubt
less be found many vital differences Of
opinion and cause for shift between the
parties--qucstions that.had been kept in
the background by the dead rubbish that
had now been swept out Of sight by the
good work of to-day, Mr.. Nalandigham
closed with n prediction of a lively fight
and a certain victory.
