PIT-rsBURGH, Sept. 17.-In the Soldiers Con-
xentiop. TODAY the several attempts to rideue the
I5beral candidate for the Presidency aud the Lib
eral candidate for Governor Of this State met with
merl,ed rebuke and in a remarkably brief time inn
messed upon those who tried It the fact that the Con
Venton as a body, radically opposed to the VII
heatou of these gentlemen. Those who mixed in with
the delegates attendance at the Convention in the
Opera House or with found more pleasure In
promonading streets during its proceedings dd not
bear one bitter expression Of opinion relative 10 the
political situation. Indeed it is PLAIN 10 DC
seen that the Pennsylvania election Is hot
bohering them in the least, and any effort made 10
make political capital for the Grant duoerhatoraI
candidate Is met in n very passive way. "Ths is Ma
tonal Mass Convention OF Soldiers and Sailors sara
Massachusetts delegate and you cannot imagine that
we are coming all the way Pennsylvania TO indulge In
local politics."
The first one who received an intimatiou of the
Conventions humor in this respect was Gov. Geary'
who, in spread-eage address, said: 81 am glad 70
meet here so many familiar faces, first as sodler
second as a citizen and third Chief Magistrate OF
the great State Of Pennsylvania come
before you this morning in the name OF the great
Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania, the State in which the
Declaration Of independence was first promuga'eo,
whore the bell first rang freedom to all In TINS broad
land. come before you in the name OF state that
gave 900 in defense OF the Union stand before
my old comrades here to-day 10 do honor to that illus
trous hero Gen. T. S. Grant. Cheersl believe, too,
that you have come do honor TO and help to
elect another old commander, hajorGen. John f. Hart
ranf lCheers and loud hises which created some con-
fusonl Gen Burnside who read his speech from man
nscript referred 70 Harranft and his military career
aeclarng lit is clearly your duty that such gallant
commander should not be DETAINED and defeated by de-
signing politicians" and met with cheers and vol
ley Of hisses.
Gov. Hawley OF Connecticut made political speech,
saying THE election of the candidates in the field in
opposition 10 Grant would be bad for two or three
special reasons In the first place, you would eec q
man who Is theoretically favor OF Secession For proof
of this refer YOU 10 the files OF THE TRIBUNE OF 1863
HIS history of the Rebellion, written since the war,
shows t too say whatever may be the spirit ot ke-
beon the election Of Greeley would place IN the Pres
dental chair a whose sentiments are similar TO
those entertained by Buchanan. Horace Greeley
in his letter 70 Cincinnati Convention sald that he
cid not like harshness shown toward the Southern
people in not permitting them to choose their repre-
seniaves. As there only about 800 SOuherneTs dis
1r1nehised, Mr. Greeley would have them choose the
men who 10 represent the Southern people IN
Congress" At this point there were misses from various
portions OF the house. After this rebuke LIS remarks
were motto eably moderated Ia tone.
