MONDAY, JUNE 17+ 1872

refer attention to a long article reviewing the Philadelphia 'Convention^ which we take from the Hartford Post: It is full of instruction in relation to the elements that controlled that body of men, and the manner in which it was done. It is interesting to see how the officeholders managed the non-office-holding delegates, and !bow willing these delegates were to throw Grant overboard, if they only had possessed courage enough to do so. We have hardly a doubt that a majority of the Relegates in that Convention, impelled for a moment by honest and patriotic motives, desired to nominate some otlier 'man, but the power of vast executive patronage was too. great, and while their convictions told them to vote no, their cowardly tongues said jes. The man who had no patronage, but who was much the better one of the two, was tossed out of the political ship,without a moment's hesitation. Colfax was slaughtered in the home of his friends with seeming pleasure, and, while be fills his position with far more credit to himself and the country than does Gen. Grant, he had no patronage to give for votes, and wa? therefore left by the wayside. It is amusing to witness the number of political and moral cowards who were meni-' bers of the Philadelphia Convention. Men who privately talked in the most severe terms of President Grant, in a few hours afterward voted for him, and huzzahed for him to the echo. We know some such men ourselves, but the thumbscrews are some way or other applied to them, and politically they are for Grant.' How humiliating such ajjotitUw*poust be to all tbe instincJs^Gf genuine manhood, we le&yfi,StJctTfellows to determine for

They will not vote to retain a man in any po sition who, after he has been fully triedv proves himself to be unfit for it in every single particular.

The horses are generally 'ftiU-t|jl6klie and fast, and cannq£ be beaten much on the track, but why the President thought proper to send this jackass to the seashore, we cannot quite understand Certainly it cannot be an agreeable1! fcet^ is not handy to have in tbe house would not be much of a pony for young Ulysses to ride, and is not musical in its notes. Why then the President had to be accompanied in his sojourn at the seashore, by a four-legged jackass, we do not know. We had supposed that eridu&h of the two-legged species Would surround him while there, to supply th^ wants of a dozen Presidents. But Gen. Grant is a luxurious fellow, fond of fast things, and rather eccentric in his tasteej and we have no doubt has a good reasonfor wanting his donkey to enjpy tbp "beach at Long Branch," if no one else

THE PHIL^D^PHU CONVENTION.

||g Deli^^oi^and its Results.

A n»Vl*w Thereof' by Iftftac H. Bromley, Editor of the Hartford Post.

would like to look over the Philadelphia Convention, its history, its deljbefa-, tions and results, as I did over the oYie lately held at Cincinnati, without prejudice. I am certain I shall do it without pa&ion whether or not I Shall shake off entirely my preconceptions of it, aud estimate it with judicial impartiality, will be for the reader to judge for me it is enough to state my purpose With" a ftill conviction of the hindrances that are always present to unbiased judgmt nt. I can foresee that I shall iu auy event, displease some very sincere and earnest partisans who are so firmly rooted in their political convictions aud associations, as not to be able to comprehend how any change of party tendencies, habits, and practices can warrant an individual and* least of all, a" editor of a newspaper, in qualifying his support, or modifying' itt any way his relations of party advocate and attorney. I c**n foresee with equal clearness that many desperate political adventurers, intriguers, and demagQgues, men with whom I have no political affiliations or sympathy,"will warmly applaud whatever I fhall say of this Convention in the way of criticism or censure. Let me dismiss these two classes at once. I shall not seek to conciliate the one or offend the other. But there is a class, weightier in numbers and in judgmeut to-day than the same class ever was at any corresponding period in our political history, wTiich, being between these two extremes,is hangingin thoughtful poise upon politics and parties.

At no previous time have there been so many voting citizeus unsettled in their oarty relations—not in their political beliefs, but in their party relations. You meet them everywhere, every day—the men who "haven't made up their minds." Thi\«, not because they are careless of the political future or have "lost all interest in politics," but because they are more conscious than ever before of the country's peril, and the citizen's responsibility. The 'Country's peril,- I sav advisedly for, crtfnpared with the maladministration and personal government, all the belching batteries and hostile works' from Sumter to Appomatfcoj^ Court House, were but whistling wind. The dangers of the gale we kuew master, and pilot, and passengers, and crew, could read them in the sky the poWer and peril of this worm and rot we only Iknqw from hul^s that, lie along ttye Chores. It is .-'to the judgment of'the larger class to which I have referred— the men who, like myself, have not de Hded how to vote, but are proposing to themselves to View the field calmly arid dispassionately before deciding—that I •=ubtnit a few considerations regarding this convention.

It cannot be denied that it was a success—in some senses a great success. The scenic and spectacular effects were well arranged the machinery was almost perfect there was so little friction as to make the smoothness of its operation al most an objection the attendance was large the speeches, if not profoundly able, were quite rhetorical the enthusi asm was well ordered and fitted to the occasion and, to crown all, t^p couventiou was in perfect accord"with the spirit and purposes of the new men of the 'party, and expressed their will in the renomination of the distributor of patronage, and the rotation out of office of the map who, having no patronage to be*to\fr, had made no friends, but, holding an office himself, had excited the envy of his fellows.

Let us look at it a little in detail. The Convention was slow in coming together. On the Saturday before the day of meeting—the day when usually the delegates to National Conventions, or at least, the most prominent aud influential of them, begin to assemble at the plaoe of meeting for purposes of consultation and arrangement of plaus,—so few persons ef prominence and indeed so fewjdelegates of any sort, were in Phila-

delphia, that it was the subject of general remark, and rehension began to be felt by the Philadelphians that it would not be so great a source of pecuniary profit as they had hoped and expected^ Except" General Hawiey, who had been in the city a week or more, on the business of the Centennial Commission, I do not recall any politicians of National prominence, who had, a,t that time, mad© an appearance. Perhaps I aViGuld except Mr. (or "Colonel," as he prefers to be caljed,) Charles S. Spencer, a New York criminal lawyer of some notoriety, who aspired to lead the delegation from his State, and who distributed, quite freely, the in format-ion that he e^pedted 200 of "the boys," knpwp as "the Spencer Legion," early in the week, whose expenses he paid, and who were "stand by" him in case he should "get into difficulty." I did not, learn that his apprehensions of "difficulty" wert realized, or upon' wtvat they were basdd but "the boys" were there, and contributed largely to the enthusiasm of the Convention and the di.-comfort of .their fellow-passengers on their feturii. LThe^colored delegates from Virginia and

Louisiana appeared quite early. Elated by their honors and by the novelty of their new relations as representative men!, they came early and stayed late, andlmade the most of their opportunities. It must be said for them that they not ionly furnished the Convention principal sensation, but they brought to it t^ie most of Its enthusiasm. They gushed with frequency, and at length, (cheered upon the slightest occasion. The other delegates, like ours from Con•neoticut, made no haste to arrive, they pSeemei to have made up their minds thatiasthe programme was all arranged, and ionly the formality of ratification necejssary, they did need to put in in appearance much before the voting .should begin. The significance of this delay I construed to be, riot merely that the nomination of

Presideut had been made already, but also that little or no interest wafc felt in it, aiid certainly no enthusiasm. Manifestly these delegates were not overjoyed with the pleasing duty before them they were! not eager to come ttr it, or deJighted to discharge it. And, when they did arrive, and began to mix up iu consulta tions and gossip, as they did only about twedty-four hours before the opening, thdre was nothing to tajk about or di^ cuss,! and very little to arrange. Except for fcte raid of the newspaper-men on ^CoJfi*! which made a lively.spurt for a few (hours, there was nothing., to break the dead level of the whole affair. From

sentatfVeS tf the organ nearest the Fri ident, when I say there was no genuine enthusiasm, no warmth or spontaniety, in -the Vhcile Prfeisldential nrtthihiat!ou perforiq^nf^, 4 in. t|ie face: of t,he fact, and without disputing it, that ..the Convention cheered some of the' speakers boisterously, and went wild for moment when the nomination W«R nad^, and the picture of Grant on liprsi

But tne^ boNit^ods demonstratiops were mo9tly by .tha CVtorted delegatfes, who cnefered, tot beciwisi Grant was nominated, but,because itheyjhad done it 'd'nd the wild:Whirl of excltiemyit at the lowering of thepictute Wa^tovplainly oaanufacttired to dec^i^fe anyj6ne.

But the'qu^stion may be.asked, "Why, if there wasao little, enthusiasm for the nominee arid, ouly passive acquiescence in the resrtlf, did this Convention, composed of delegates who Were free to choose, make such a nomination and wjthout a dissecting voice? Tlif question is easily asked I frankly Cf»nfess I cannot an§wer it. I only state the facts, and do not undertake to reconcile them with consistency or common sense. The Convention was a phenomenon. I's leading characteristics were mutual distrust and timidity of power. Wjthout offering this as a solution of its action, I* me cite an incident or two by way of illustration:

In the rooms of the Connecticut delegation, early in the week, before the delegates had all arrived, in the course of a general conversation on Convention topics, it was suggested by a person not a delegate that it might be possible tto overturn the programme and nominatea new man. The discussion that followed was wholly informal and witli scarcely any reference to proposed action by the delegation, but I shall Violate no confidence in saying that the suggestion was considered only, in the light of its possibility the desirableness of such a consummation was not denied by any one. By some means the news of the infornial lalk leaked into the halls of the hotel, and very shortly the rumor went flying round that Connecticut would oppose the licwniuatioh of Grdht. Twelve votes out of $even hundred and fifty-foiir and only a rattling rumor at that' !^but you should have seen the .eflyct of it. Why, meu seemed startled" by it. On every face you cbuld read amazement and the sunder everywhere: seamed to be what Connecticut Was in the convention for, if not to vote for Grant. What are these meti thinking of What Were tney sent here for?—were the questions you could read iu the staring ct untenaiices' of men whp believed the incredible report. And .tl.ie strange feature of it was, tliat fourfifths of the delegates held, and many of •them had within six. months expressed, more positive.opiniojis as to the defirableness of a change in.the ticket than had beep advanced by any Connecticut delegate in the informalconversatiou which gav^ rise

!to

the rumor. Here was Gen.

Oglesby, Republican caudijdate for Governor of Illinois, not, apparently^ for Grant and,yet, as I learn upon excelltent authpifity, he has

b'een, within a year, as

outspoken:as Sumner upon the failure of the Administration. Here, too, was Cullom, from the same State, swallowing the teame kind of .Words before he made the jspeeeh in which he renominated the President. And here were hundreds mode having the same opinion of President Grant aud his administration, and the same louging for something to happen jto smash the slate and break up the programme and all ,of them marched deliberately up to the^sacritfce of their owq honeot convictions wheu they vow«jl for and applauded the renomiuation ot Grapt. There were hundreds of these delegates," apparently quite enthusiastic for the rettoulination, whom you had but to scratch the surface of ju casual conversation to find the outcroppings of unbelief in the candidate and indefinite longings for a change. Some of thetn •put on an appearance of cheerfulness and jsatisfaction, and others voted it with hardly concealed .disgust.

O^ie gentleman of some political prominence, who Was quite enthusiastic over tbe Announcement of the renomiuation, had! told me, only a few hour» before, that the Convention was packed lor Grapt that.be felt himself disgraced by attending a Convention where there was noffeedom of ehoice, and nothing to do but regisier the^yill .of the. Presidential ring aud that he had no idea Grant would be elected if nominated. And

now, if you ask me to accoiTnt for.his enthusiasm and explain iifs conduct I can no r^iore do it than I- cau -ex pi a in why thej Presideht of the late Connecticut Republican State Convention1 led, with contagious .enthusiasm the cheering tor President Grant, five minutes later, with almost equal publicity, said he "had no confidence in the.man he believed he was "surrounded by some of the worst men in tlie c^muti-y etc., etc. There may be some law.that'governs all these kinks arul jcrookednesses£ do not understand it if tlieW is.

There ^as a private meeting of prominent politicians from all parts of the country one evening early in the week, at *fbich the whole pqlitical situation was (carefully considered. "Very little has been allowed ,to leifk out concerning the discussion, but enough is knowu to warrant! the statement that the question of a change of programme was at length dismissed upon the ground simply that it was too late to undertake it.

On Sunday afternoon, General Hawiey happened to be with Colonel Forney and Colonel Aleck McClure, and the three exchanged views upon the situation. A correspondent of the Sun, hearing of the meeting, manufactured a conversation for them, which was published next day in the Sun, in which Hawiey was made to express hostility to Grant, and to say that had Cincinnati nominated anybody but Greeley, he could have supported the ticket heartily. As a matter of fact, he said ho such thing, but it was believed the false publication would not only destroy bis own prospects and standiu*: with! the President, but would so affect his relations to the Convention, that to name him for Vice Presideut would impart 'a diestroying element to the harmony of the proceedings. And so Connecticut withdrew him from the candidacy.

Well, I db hot know that I precisely understand what a 'reign of terror" i-, or What is the quality ot the terrorism that is possible! in a Republic. I have seen these delegates come together, vote for a ticket they did not want, and adopt a course df action they did not in their inmost hearts approve. A majority of theiri believed the renomination of the President would be fatal to the party that bo other nomination possible to be marid would be fraught with so much perllr-that the great necessity of the hour was to save the Republican party intact and undivided* and that, to do this, tlfeohly way wastoi£helvdGraut and take ,a new "Candidate. Only so could Cinci nnati have beeu headed off the Greetev nbitlihatioh made of no efliect, and the .... Republican party been assured of sue-

nomination WUR cess And yet they made no effort in that 'di:rferfion. Tol consider it was heresy, to broach it was treason. A dozen calm and courageous men who ^felf&otfed to their! belfefe and since^ in their oonvic.tions,and who meant business,]could have taken that convention iu hand and swung it free and clear from all itis entanglements, and thrilled the country throueh and through—just by teflink iLthe truth.
