This town, that for two or three

Upon opcnciiing the box for Rep

found seven votes for town repre

tlircc-for Mr. Hay ami four for Mr.

the votes actually east, there was mi
choice, although the authorities de

Tim game of "grab" was played
to perfection throughout the hunt.

Sc!do:n h is there a greater contrast
been presented in American politics
than in the two Conventions which
have assembled at Philadelphia.
The one which adjourned a few days
since was assembled professedly to
ignore all the good results which had
been obtained tlnriit ir four years of
war, and sanction the course of exc- i
cutive policy which the admiiiistra-!
tions of Tvler and Buchanan fail to
furnish any p.irellel. It represented
no party but the Southern rebels w ho
had fought against us, and their
Northern allies who had done all in
their power to assist them. The Con
vention which assembled there yes
terday presented a striking contrast
to thisdisloyalgathering. Itiscom
posed of men jVom the South, the
tried men -who stood by the Onion
Hag during the war, of that class
whose devotion was often rewarded
with death. The unanimous senti
ment which they utter, is that unless
speedy assistance comes to them
from ( 'ongrcss. I'nioiiisut and loyalty
in the South will be in a far more
perilous condition than it was before
the war. In the iterson of Hon.
Thomas J. Dur.int, who has been
chosen temporary chairman, they
have a man who has always proved
himself faithful to his country. Al
though once a slaveholder in ew
Orleans, he early accepted the new
condition of things.and when the first
movement was made in Louisiana to
establish a free State government,
Mr. Durant held tiieollice of Chair
man of the Free State Committee.
Not the least noticeable fact is the
enthusiastic welcome which, under
the nuspicics of the Select and Com
mon Councils of the city, the whole
loyal people of the city have extend
ed to the'niembers of the convention.
The spontaneous gathering of the
i loyal and (rue statesmen of the North
to advise with ant! encourage their
Southern brethren will have its in
fluenec. It will show that, in 'spite
of executive patronage and a pomp
ous allegiance to the Constitution on
the part of the President, the great
heart of the nation beats in sympa
thy with them, ami will not fail to
make its pulsations felt during the
coming elections. We have no ap
prehensions that this convention
will raise the price of rebel bonds, or
encourage massacres in ourSoutliern
cities. There will lie no disgusting
exhibitions of fraternizing with un
repentant rebels, or advocacy of a
blind forget fulness of the past with
out any security for the future.
This convent ion cannot fail to
constitute an era iuthe history of the
settlement of our national diflicul
ties. It will be the first lrce untraiii
nielcd utterance of the popular sen
timent, coming from the South since
the termination of the war, ami it
will be accepted as such by the peo
ple of the North. It will have its
inllucnce during the coining elee
ons, when it w ill show the President
