The tent waa spread! oo the shores of Lake Michigan, and seat8; prepared for the expected thousands. It is| not too much to say that the convention was; a splendid failure". Extravagant expectations! were rdiscJ, abd icl iulStlesa many looked for impossibilities The attendance was large,j although the tent was at no time really full.: Still, enough men were there, and men of character sufficient to have achieved great re | faults, had other things favored. The. solidj men, the money kfngs, the rail road princes,! and some of the great^statesmen of the coun-l try were there; but jTet there Jeas no real: masterly exposition of the olyect and designi cf the meeting. There seemed an utter lack, of system and plan among the leaders. None' of the truly gre.1t men present were put for ward to arouse the masses to a conception of the mighty enterprise. The speeches and, debates were desultory. There was some fine speaking, but little that was germain to the dl jeJts of the convention. Those thous- ands! wre there, ostensibly, to. consider the question of canal enlargement, but their hearts were in oth'r questions. : t, ■ : ■ , Two; things contributed largely tb; divert attention, and thus produce a failure. Filial, local interests and jealousdes. Half the n.re there, were cither hostile to the ob* j'jet of tlie meeting,'or, lelieving that ithe canals would be enlarged, were bound, each to hitch a pet gnncKstone to tho great shaft that was to drive the main, wheel. Wiscon- sin must have the-, waters of the upper Fox. and the Wisconsin Rivers-unHed.;: | Iowa W*0UKI' iliavc llic DwMotnw Ilopido impro¥«J, A .par.t |of-New lrork -must have a ship canal ■ aro undpXiagara, . and one grey-haired man act.u-i'ly proposed a ship canal- among Hhe little f$h .ponds of Central New York, so "that our g inboats could run and hide in case of a \r:ir with Greftt Britain. Of course such propositions would kill any enterprise, how- ever meritof!oU3. " ■ , . • • _ The second thing we refer to was the wild excitement on war policies. At the very first conimepcement Mr. Drake, of St. Louis, fired th^popular; heart by a powerful speech on. the1 war and its'canses, taking extreme radical | ground. -The keynote thus given cOnlitiUrd through-the whole. Thesagacious bu.sine^s men gaw .the effect of such ia course, ind t: ie 1 hard to -control matters, .but found it i.rp^ssible. -In the debates such men as Jcnnison cif Kansas would speak, and the people [would cheer, and so the'canal ques- tion had to get'oiit of tho way. Possibly this might hay3 been • controlled had not Bumside's order for the ' suppression of the Times been carrieJ out at this very time — The excitement -was too great for such a meeting, arid so, on the second day, before a tenth .jJart of the people of Chicago, who ex- pected to attend the meetingk, had even looked into the great tent, the convention adjourned tiiie"chs: Of course w6 must all make the bestofiit,'andhope Congrei'ss will be more favorably situated when the.subject comes- up there again. In order to cirry the measure through;at the present tirii.e, it is necessary to make the people .believe a war with En- gland raminent, and certain'at no future day. Thus we are balled upon to do evil that good mry come. Of course there is danger" in pl iying war with. Great .Britain, lest,' like tnary a scrape commenced in.fun, it should ripen into a real fight. From all w? saw and heard, w e incline to think the rebellion, will be put down, and a, great many other good thihgs done before this gigantic system of ihternai improvemen'cs is realized. We hope, ho.weve^, to live to see it accomplished,'and boats running free pf toll from theiMississip . pi to the tide.waters of the Atlantic. > .,• -I 11 * . . I The Contrast. i : ' • __ ■ ' I.M- On Wednesday of last week, thousands of thb'"solid" and strong men of the nation, were assembled in the great tent in Chicago, listening to - addresses from the first men of the country. There every patriotic allusion was applauded to the echo, and'the grave assembly went w.ild over the lefty sentiments of Walbridge and Hamlin, or the keen thrusts of Drake and Jennison. r In the evening other thousands gathered in the Court House square. There no patri-. otic utterances were heard, but the most vio- lent denunciation^ of (the Government- were received with shouts and huzzas. A thous- and men githered close around tho speakers stand, not half of whom could read, and°there swore to fight,.not Jeff. Davis, but Abraham Lincoln, on the qnesiion of a free press. There were no chcers for the Union, for the starry old flag, but plenty for resistance to the orders of the-men who are periling alj "for our defense. t POLICY. • The friends of the Administration do not complain of the policy Of the Government so much* as the. icant of a policy. The Presi- dent seems to follow, not to lead, the , senti- ment of the people. A few men and journals have at limes assumed a dictatorial air, but in the main, the loyal millions have said4 to _ the President, and his Cabinet, "take your, the Wheeler and Wi]son "Wheeler and WilsOii's." These'words need no explanation. They are -household words the world around, In more than a hundre I thousand |amilies the music of their machines is heard |his morn . ing; for their machines are usejl.Cheap substitutes lie in garrets and lum useless, but we have never heard macl: own course. Le ius know what-you want; of us, and we will! do it. You are in a posi-, tion to form a correcter judgement than we, therefora lead qnd we will fojlow." Oo -the, other hand the President, in the goodness of his heart, desirous of being in close sympathy with the masses, appears to watch the fluctu-f ations of publicrsentiment, and adapt himself to their pronouncings. The-result is| what might haye been expected. Persons of dif- fering views raise as great a clamor as possi- bla, in order to make thp good man think the peoplo are all with them. • So ithappens that to-day one party seems to have tho.royal fa- vor,?and io marrow another. Of course all parties are in i turn disappointed and chaf. gr.incd. This is doubtless the evil of free government, and the people should possess themselves of as much philosophy as possible) and make the best of it. i i We think, and of course this is a'l-impon tant, that the true way to pilence popular clamor is to pay no attention to it. Let a fickle and exciteablc populace -understand that Abraham Lincoln is "master of the situ- ation," that he has a policy which he will pursue with an|iron will and execute with an iron hand, and jit matters little what specific policy is adopted, the masses will soon c^m ply with it anfl be satisfied. Still, if the President is not that kind of a man, there is no use scolding about it. There is one safety in it, he will" never become a despot. What- ever men may, say, our liberties can never be imperiled by him, unless it should be by the success of the rebellion through tho vascilla- tions of the national policy. Ctertainly Mr:1 L!ncoln can never be a tyrant. ber rooms of one of ines being worn out; or laid ss^dc. - There are many good, machines,I but this one leads them all.

"S /me think it e happy to burchasers. ilson's, anJ at it'"beats ill only do fof fine work, but we have seen cloth almost as thick as a board sewed through and through as if it!were mere, canjlbric. One house in Chicago runs sixty of these machines by steam, in manufacturing tentsjout of saij cloth. All that.is necessary to convince the most credulous is to call at the r|oms in tho Bank Block, and see with your own eyes, i COMEDY. The President is the most facetious, and yet the kindest of men. In ]the. midst of the terrible tragedy of war he mus ; have a little comedy, and occasionally, treats the couutry to a broad farcp.

Vickshurg wasnot taken, and the paople were almost dead for want of excite- ment, and so cftme an order to stop t,he Times- In.a moment. l!he country was in an uproar: Hooker, RosecUns, Grant, and Banks were: eclipsed, and Burnsido was the man. After the daily 'papers hiad worked, the thing up pretty well, and just before anything serious grew out of it, the order was recalled, and the Times and tho World jogged on as if nothing had happened. ' THE WAR. ' I Sinc^the brilliant actions of Grant and his failure to carry Vicksburg by storm, there is nothing startling m the news from any quar- ter. New combinations are being made on both sides to suit the new phase. The ene" my seem determined to make a grand effort' to save Vicksbufg and hold ihe: Mississippi. How fast th?y can mabs troops on Grant's rear, we do not know. Ijf our Government is awake to tlie situation, as we may suppose it is, Grant will be reinforced as fast as John- ston can be. One Southern paper says, that the- great,- perhaps decisive battje of the war. will be fought in the rear of Vicksburg. Very) well, only givi our boys an even chance, and we do not fear the result. Meantime, Vicksburg is being torn to pieces and burped up by the terrific fire of our batteries.] We believe it will fall and the Confederacy with it. ' God speed the day. T'" lirutal Soldiery, i , At the great mob in Chicago on Wednesday evening of last week, we heard ot|r brave brothers who are enduring untold horrors for thf salvation of their country, and who, with their dying breath exhort.their comrades to "stand byjthe old flag," characterized as. a "brutal soldiery J' The insult stung us like the bite of an adder, and burns .on our heart yet. We felt as a man expressed himself the next night, in the car. "I was mad, and I am mad yet,i and the.time is! coming w erf such, talk will not be allowed." Our soldiers, are our brokers, bone of our. bone and.flesh of our flesh, land the men Who, for partisan effect, call memi briitesj are pickling a rod for their own backs. Such speeches, as we At field. Our Legislature is again in tjpssioil, but the June weather has toned dowrjj the majow ity so that their proceedings are dull and, spiritless, m The rabid leaders seem anxious to adjourn.' If they Succeed in coing so be- fore Fernando gets there,: on tli] 1 Tth, no great.harm will come to the cotlntry from their meeting. It is- thought tM jou'rn ur.til January"next, and so in hopes something will "turn uf| to thei;- peace proclivities.
