CHifSAo, Aug. 29,-At 12. o'clock today t!ie National Democratic Convention was callel to orIer ljr Hon. A. Belmont, Chairman of the National Deniocratis Commitee. Ile delivereil a brief but pertinent a J. Irene. At the close of liis remarks, he nominated ex-Governor Bigler of Pennsylvania, for teinpora-rv President, which motion was carried unanimously. When the cheers which greeted Gov. Iiijrler fn'fided, he paid: REMARKS O? GOV. BIGLER. Gentlemen of'the Convention: I am grejitly honored in your selection of me to prcsi ls over the preliminary deliberations df this body. Accept my ac- kno nts lor tnm hi?h compli ment, ai'.' tor ..the; kind greeting just extruded to mc by this vast concourse of my fellow citizens will be best manifested by a proper, discharge of the duties of the position to which you have called me. It is not expected nor would it be befitting in one assuming tiie mere temporary presidency of a Convention, that he should enter upon any general discussion of the m;tny topics suggested by the unhappy condition of our country a brief allusion to the occasion and purposes of our assemblage, is all that will be necessary. No similar body ever assembled in America with mightier objects before them, or to which such a vast proportion of American people looked with such profound solicitude for measures to promote the welfare of the country and advance their individual happiness. The termination of Democratic rule in this country was the end of peaceful relations between the States and people, the elevation of a sectional party to authority at Washington, and the culmir nation of a long indulged and acrimonious war, of crimination recrimination between extreme men at the North and South, was promptly followed by dissolution and civil war; even the bulwarks of civil liberty have been imperilled and. the whole fabric brought to the very verge of destruction, and now at the end f more than three years of a war unparalled in modern times for its desolations, after more than two millions of men have been called into the field. and on our side alone; after the land has literally drenched in fraternal blood, and wailing and lamentations are heard in every corner of our common country, hopes of union, our cherished object, are .no wise improved. Men in author ity, through a feud which they have ong maintained with violent and un wise men at tue ooutn, Decause ot? a blind fanaticism about an institution existing in some of the btates, in rela tion to which they have no duties to perform and no responsibilities to bear, are utterly incapable of adopting pro er means to rescue our country. whole country, from its present lamQii? table condition. Then, eentlemcsn, it is apparent that tile first indispensable step to cue accompiisnmenc oi inis great work is to overthrow by ballot, the present Adaii;ustrati6n,and the inauguration of another in its stead which will wisely and iealously, but temperately and just ly wield all influences and power of gov ernment to pnng about a speedy settlement of national troubles on the principle of the Constitution an,d on terms Honorable just to ' all sections.

R. fl. .Clarkson, of the Protestant Episcopal Church. On motion Messrs. E. O. Perrin, of New York, G. M. Tower of New Jersey, and Moses M. Strong, of Wisconsin, were appointed temporary Secretaries. A list of delegates was then called by States, and as each chairman presented the credentials of hie delegations he was welcomed with loud applause. When the delegates from Kentucky, Messrs. Guthrie and Wickliffe, walked up the aiele arm in arm, the enthusiasm of the Convention and the people exceeded any thing of the kind ever witnessed. Mr. Tilden of New York, moved that one delegate be appointed by each delegation to report resolutions for the consideration of the Convention, and that ail resolutions offered in said committee without debate.- Carried. Mr. Cox of Ohio moved that a committee on Organization be instructed to report rules for the Convention, and that meantime the rules of the last Convention be adopted. Carried. Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, stated that the contesting delegates from that State had agreed and were harmonious in this Convention. He arose therefore to ask that one member of each delegation be appointed on committee on resolutions, tbe two to. have' but one vote; carried. Mr. McDougal moved that there be admitted to the Convention, not to exceed three gentlemen known to be members of the Democratic Party from the several Territories, said delegates to be permitted to participate in debates, but without permission to vote. Gen. Morgan, of Ohio, moved to amend by extending the privileges of the resolution to delegates from Southern States and the District of Columbia. Mr. McDougal accepted the amendment. Mr. Tilden, of New York, opposed the resolution, as it was manifest that no gentleman can thus be designated by the Convention, who came here accredited to us and may or hot represent a constituency ; it might be otherwise in regard to territories; there may be gentlemen from them accredued as we are, . but under all the circumstances, the adoption of the resolution would, in his judgment, be productive only of confusion and disorder, Cheers. On motion the resolution was referred to the Committee on Credentials. A communication signed by. J. L Riddle, of the Louisiana delegation, was received, set-ing forth that he and his colleague."! . were jirofifrlv awredised . defegii'es from.

Chicago, August 29. A very affecting scene occured in session of the Convention this morning. When Kentncky was called upon to hand up her lint of delegates. those venerable, but ever popular men, Ex-Governor Wick-liffe and Hon. James Guthrie. Chairme'n of the contesting Kentucky .Delegations, rose from their seats and came slowly forward up tbe entire length of the middle aisle.. The Convention and people commenced to cheer vociferously, and the band struck up the old tune, - . " Should all acquaintance bo forgot." " The thrilling sensation was followed by the mot deafening cheers. The venerable statesmen wept like children, and many a tear streamed down from the eye of that vast croud as they witnessedhe solemn ami touching oc-ctirreiice. The two gentlemen prerenledj their credentials, and again moved back to ' their seats. The cannon boomed forth salute.' the band played Hail Columbia," and the masses rent the air with huzzas.

While the resolutiona snd aeUon' of this Conrentiozi ir of iheVnt-inost importaiieev there are rBasons-.why the :PemoCTad;party should be icestdr- eons . ; ane iemocTauc carty wui res- tore thfUnion! becarvlOT j. - '.1: restoration. It .will bring" peace, because it lores peace. It will Bring back liberty to our land, because it lores liberty. It will put down despotism, because it hates the ignoble tyranny which now degrades the American : people-Four years ago a convention met in this city, when our country; was peaceful, prosperous and united Its delegates did not mean to destroy bur government, to overwhelm us with debt or to drench our land with blood ; but they Were animated by intolerance and fanaticism, and blinded by an ignorance of the spirit of our institutions, the character of Our people and conditions of our land. They thought they might safely i ndulge their passions, and they 'concluded to do so. They would not heed the warning of our fathers. Their passions have wrought out their national results. They were impelled to spurn all measures of compromise. Step by step, they have marched on to results which at the onset they would have shrunk with horror from, and even now, when war has desolated our land, has laid its heavy burthens upon labor, and when bankruptcy and ruin overhang us, they will not have the Union restored except on conditions unknown to our Constitution. They will not let the shedding of blood cease even for a little time, to see if christian charity or the wisdom of statesmanship may not work out a method to save our country. Nay more than this : they will not listen to a proposal for peace which does not offer that which this government has no right to ask. This Administration cannot now save the Union if it would. It has- by its proclamations, by vindictive legislation and by displays of hate and passion, placed obstacles in its own pathway which it cannot overcome. It has hamnered its own freedom of action by unconsti-tutionalties. It cannot be said that the failure of its policy is due to the want of courage and devotion on the part of our armies. Never in the history of the world have soldiers gi ven up their lives most freely than have those of the armies which have battled for the flag of our Union in the Southern States. The world will hold that they have done all that arms can do, and had wise state-manship secured the fruits of their victories, to-day there would have been peace in our land. But while our soldiers have desperately struggled to car ry our banners southward to the Gulf of Mexico, even now the government declares in the edicts of a General that rebell ious discon ten t has Worked northward to the shores of the- great lakes. The guaranteed right of the people to bear arms has been trampled under foot, up to the very borders of Canada : so that American servitude is put in bold contrast with British liberty.: The Ad- ministration iias aeciareu to tne woria that it has no faith in the people of the Mates, whose votes placed it in power It also admits, by such an edict, thafl the people has no faith in this Adminis tration. . While those in power, without re- morse, saennce tne blood and treasure of our people they will not give up their own passions for the public good. This Union is not held asunder by military ambition. If our political troubles ! could be referred to the peaceful arbi trament of the contending armies in thei field, our Union would be restored, the rights of States would be guaranteed, the sacredness of homes and persons be again respected, and an insulted judici ary would again administer the laws of the Imd. Let not the ruin of our country be charged to our soldiers. It is not due to their teachings or their fanaticism. In my constant official intercourse with them, I have never heard uttered one sentiment of hatred towards the people of the South. Beyond, all. men, they value the blessings of peace and the virtues of mercy, of gentleness, and of charity ; while many .who stay at home cry "havoc, " and demand that no mercy shall be shown. The bigotry of fanatics, and the intrigues. of placemen, have made the bloody pages of the history of the past three years. It was a soldier upon whom our Sayxour bestowed his only commendation, and when He hung upon the Cross, when priests and pharisees mocked his suffering, a soldier alone discovered his divinity when he heard Him pour forth a prayer for mercy and forgiveness for the authors. ; ' ' ' .
