nation of Gen. Jno. B. Gordan, of Glynn, as
President, and Capt. J. C. Nicholis as

tions were unanimously agreed to.
On taking the Chair, Gen. Gordon ad
dressed the Convention in substance as fol
lows :
ADDRESS.
After returning my thanks, gentlemen of
the Convention, for the honor conferred; per
mit me to say, that k in my judgment, the
position of delegate to this, aud other similar
Conventions now being held throughout the
South, is one of the greatest and most solemn
responsibility, and one therefore by no means
to be covete A And I repent here, that in ac
cepting the position ot delegate from Glynn,
I did it with a sense of this responsibility, and
with no small degree of hesitation. I hesita
ted, not because I was unwilling to make the
personal sacrifices which leaving my home
and business on so short a notice involved—
not beeause I was unwilling to give what
ever of influence I might possess, to any
movement not inconsistent with plighted
faith and the honor and dignity' of my people,
which promised relief from political persecu
tion—for as we love the South, we must fol
low the hope, forlorn though it be, of bringing
contusion and defeat into the Radical ranks.
We must follow, in the awful darkness that
surrounds ns, the faintest glimmer of light
coming to us from whatever source, which
may perchance lead to the broader and
brighter sunlight of political redemption. I
did not hesitate, therefore, because 1 opposed
the movement, but because I felt it was one
of such momentuous Interest to us that it
should be guided and controlled by the purest,
the wisest, arid most discreet of the land.
• Never in ray judgment, gentlemen, since the
Convention of 1787 has one been called, upon
the deliberations of which depended so much
for weal or woe, not only of our beloved
South but of the American people ; and he
who goes to the Convention in Philadelphia
with any less sense of his responsibility than
was felt by. the Fathers of the American Con
stitution on that memorable occasion, falls,
I think, far short of the measure of the patriot
for the occasion. If the deliberations of that
Convention do not result in good (and I fear
we are not warranted in indulging the most
sanguine expectations of this), then I can see
at present no hope of relief from any other
source; then is confirmed the power of those
who maliciously misrepresent us as a people,
ant) who would continually add to our social
and political humiliation. Oh, who can tell
the leDgth and tlie breadth, the height and
the depth of fiendish Radical hate. Confirm
these men in their ill-gotten power, and lost
in onr dsy and generation is the equality of the
States; lost, forever lost, is Constitutional
Government: lost is the South—Liberty is
lpst.
And it is this soise of danger a head, this
fesr of the loss of liberty among themselves,
#fcieh has aroused the thinking men of the
North, and prompted the call for the Con
vention at Philadelphia. We cannot sup
pose that these men arc actuated by disin
terested regard for us of the South; but if
in the grand battle for the preservation of
Constitutional government among them
selves, we, by invitation, become parties to
the triumph, then to us, as well as to them
will belong the reward of victory.
This invitation to unite with them for the
preservation of Constitutional Government
alike dear to them and to us, has been given,
IjH us accept it, for if we refuse, onr con
duct will be construed by the Radicals as
evidence of hostility to the Government, and
by Conservatives as churlish and inexcusa
ble indifference.
But who shall we send to that Convention?
I do not mean to ask what particular in
dividuals; but what chiss of men shall we
send? This is a question of vital importance.
Rithterto in these primary conventions, you
have selected meu, only as they were ex
ponents of great principles ; but in this yon
are to select men as delegates to Philadel-
p ta, with no platfotm—no landmarks, save
honest y and faithfully to represent the grriat
heart of your people.
Far be it from me to attempt, if I could, to
dictate to so intelligent a body of my fellow
citizens ; but I n-tV/say, because, I feel it my
duty to say, that you should send your beBt
and your truest men, men who, whatever
may have been tbeir opinions as to the wis
dom of secession, yet, if they remained at
the Soulb at All, remained true to the cansc
of the South. TTot men, who, when the
ship in which your hopes were freighted was
riding on the flood-tide of hope, sought to 81111
nail to the highest mast, the red cross
under which yon battled; and yet who,
when adverse winds blow,and tlw ebb tide of
fortune came, tore down Ihfetf Colors, de
serted the ship and then sang p*ons ot joy
over the unhappy wreck. I can respect and
honor a brave, roafily and consistent foe— *
man who, like Andrew Johnson, led by bis
convictions of duty to the Government
ns first, •hd foo^r^s lsBf ;
now, that the strife With 1 W*U ei
cally endeavors\o save fjpm the hands of
thpse who .have brokj^- and dishonored it,
the fragments of that^Comtitntion gf which
be is the rightful custodian,^1 can eveD
tenor the brave men, who, in a cause
^Ahriy believed ust, met us for four
*° Tbng years upon fields of blood.
Bgt for him amongst us who could look with
ipdifference upon onr beloved Booth, as.she
ble4.at every pore, or can now sing his hal-
lelujas over her blasted hopes and desolated
bottles, my loathing and contempt is unut
terable: . Such are npt. the representative
meq to been trusted vfitb onr faith and honor.
Bach men have only our contempt, and can-. SIVI
not command the confidence or respect of
the true men of the North.
GentlefMii, I may not in this connection
be accnsedof liriprndently publishing private
conversation, when I slate that the^ distin
guished soldier who cpmmands the armies of
the \jnited States recently declared in my
presence that he bad told the people of the
North that the men of the South, upon whose
pledges they could molt sincerely veljpwere
the Soldiers of our armies. • These, and the
men who were true to us in whatever sphere
they were called on,to act in the late strug
gle, are those who command the respect and
confidence of the thinking men of the North.
And here let me remark that if I were called
upon to select from those at the North who
opposed us the men who would give to the
South the largest measure of justice and
equality, I would unhesitatingly take them
from the soldiers of her armies. These are
not the men who revile you, and persecute
you, and buffet you, now that you cannot
bnffet them agaiD. It is the Stevenses, the
Sumners and the Forneys—that pusilanimous
battalion of warriors who, lest they should
be engulphed in it, gazed at the red tide ot war
from atar, add Who, now tbat we have sur
rendered, are incapable of magnanimity to a
brave end honorable and fallen foe. These
are the men who, like the skulking soldiers,
leaving their places in line in the hour of
battle, und following in the rear of victorious
battalions, rob and mangle with fiendish ma
lignity the enemy’s dead and dying. These
are the men whose wicked and selfish de
signs against constitutional government and
against liberty the President an#" the*
conservative men of the North seek-to thwart.
For this purpose the friends of the Constitu
tion at the North have invited us to meet
them in council in the city of Philadelphia.
Let us send to meet them our best and
wisest—our representative men—and may a
merciful God preside over their deliberations,
and incline tbeir bedrls to “justice, wisdom
and moderation ■”

Resolved, That this Convention declines
the expression of any opinion indicating the
course to be pursued by the delegates elected,
in the Philadelphia Convention, further than
to *mtr them to represent us faithfully and to
the best of their good judgment.
On motion, the thanks of the Convention
were tendered to General Gordon lor the able,
efficient and courteous manner in whiah be
had presided over the deliberations of the
Convention; to the Secretary, for the prompt
ness and efficiency tbat had characterized

liberality in allowing delegates to pass to and
from the Convention free of charge.

vention were ordered to be published in the
papers of the District.
On motion of Colonel Styles; the Conven
tion adjourned sine die.

son, and inconsistent with the satire of onr
Government. ,
“When war has ceased, when the authori
ty of the Constitution und laws of the United
States has been restored and established, the
United Btalesare in possession, not nnder a
new title, as conquerors,Jmtsoder tbeir old
title, as the lawtul government of (he.coun
try ; arid tbat title has been vindicate^ riot
by the destrnction of one or more States, bnt
by tbeir preservation; and their preservation
can be worked out practically only by the
restoration of republican governments organ
ized in harmony with tbe Constitution.
“The title of a conqueror is hecessarily
inconsistent with a republican government,
which can be formed only by tbe people
themselves, to express and execute 4beir
will.
“And if the preservation of the States
within the Union was one of the objects of
the war, and they can lie preserved only by
having Republican Governments organized
in harmony with the Constitution, and such
Governments can be organized only by the
people of those States, then manifestly it is
not only the right, but tbe constitutional
duty ot tbe people of those States to organize
such Governments, and the Government ot
the United States can have no rightful au
thority to prohibit their organization. But
this right and duty of the people of the
several States cau only begin when war has
ceased and the authority of the Constitution
and laws of the United States have been
restored and established; and, from tbe
nature of tbe case, the Government ot tbe
United States must determine when that
time has come.
“It is a question of great interest, certain
ly, but not, I think, of great difficulty, how
and by whom tbe Government ot tbe United
States should determine when that time had
come.
“The question whether de facto govern
ments and hostile populations have been com
pletely subdued by arms, and the lawful au
thority of tbe United States restored and es
tablished, is a military and executive ques
tion- It does not require legislative action to
ascertain the necessary facts, and from the
nature of the case, legislative action cannot
materially affeetthem. As comtnsnder-in-cbiet
ot the army and navy, and as the chief exec
utive officer, whose constitutional duty it is
to see that tbe laws are faithfully executed,
it is the official duty of the President to know
whether a rebellion basbeen suppressed, and
whether tbe authority of tbe Constitution and
laws of tbe United States has been completely
restored and firmly established.
“The mere organization of a republican
government in harmony with the Union, by
the people of one of the existing States of the
United States requires uo enabling Act of
Congress, and I can find no authority iu the
Constitution fot* auy interference by Congress
to prohibit or regulate tbe organization ot
such a government by the people of an exist
ing State of the Union. On tne other hand,
it is clearly necessary* that the President
should act, so far at least as tofremove out of
the Vay military restrictions on the power of
the people to assemble and do those acts
which are necessary to reorganize their go
vernment. This, I think, he was bound to
do as soon as he became satisfied that the
right time had come.”
This is the clearest exposition of the rela
tive rights of the President, of the people,
and of Congress, that we have seen. It is
worthy of a Judge of the Supreme Court. Me
commend it to the careful attention of the in
telligent.
-As to the Convention, Judge Curtis says:
“I look to this Convention with hope that
it will do much to help onward this instinctive
desire of the people ot the United States for
UDion and harmony and peace. That it will
assert, strongly and clearly, those principles
which are the foundations of onr Gavem-
ment; that it will exhibit tbe connection be
tween their violation and tbe present dis
tracted condition of our country; that it
will rebuke tbe violence of party spirit, and
especially of tbat spirit of hatred which is as
inconsistent with the true love of our country
as it is with the true love of our brethren ;
and that it will do much to convince the
— .s people «t the United Slates that they must
_ vjjact soon, iu the wisest way, or suffer evils
which they and their posterity will loug de
plore.
The Memphis It lots—Report of the Con
gressional Committee.
It was well known tbat the only object of
the appointment of a Congressional Commit
tee to investigate the Memphis riots jgas a
political ruse to manufacture Radical capital.
They have done their worlc^ttlsfactorily,
and their report made to tbe House of Repre
sentatives on Wednesday night, may be fasten
simply as an ex parte argument in favor oflhe
continuance of the Freedmen’s Bureau and
military rule in the South, and against the
President’s restoration policy. Representa
tive Sbanklin, ot Kentucky, dissented trom
tbe report The following abstract of the
general conclusions of tbe Committee is given
in tbe Baltimore American :
Tbe Committee say that from the testimony
taken from poMonal observation, and from
what they could learn iq regard to the state
of feeling in Memphis, and, iodeed, through
that entire section of-Ute country, Iheyaaa of.
opinion that there is but little loyally to .the
Government and flag. Tbeyfate ofthiaga ir,
the city of Memphis is very much now as it
was before the breaking out of the rebellion-
Many of th* same newspapers published there
then are published now, and by many of the
same men. By men who,' during the war, were
in tbe rebel service fighting for the overthrow
of the Government, professing to aedept the'
situation. They seemed fired with as deadly
hatred against the Government as-ever, and
are guilty of the same recitations to violence,
persecution and oppression towards the men
holding opfoiffos obnoxious to them that they ^
were towards'Use men who were welldfo-
posed towards the ~Unfon in 1861. The
commit foe say deliberately that in their judg
ment there will be no safety to loyal men,
either white or black, should the trqops be
Irawn and oo military protection afford
ed. They believe that the riots and mas
sacres of Memphis are only a specimen of
what would take place thrcughouEthe entire
Sooth should the Goran meat fail th afford
adequate military protection. Indeed, the
committee believe the sentiment of theSooth,
which they observed, is not a sentiment of
foil acquiescence in the results of Urn war,
but that there is among them a lingering hope
tbat tbeir favorite, doctrine of secession may
yet be vindicated. They betietbra thepHn-

A Strong Appeal in Behalf of tbe Phil
adelphia Convention.
Judge B. R- Coitis, of Massachusetts,
whoie, able opinion in the Dred Scott case
every fowyerwill recollect, has written *
letter to the National Union Executive Ooowj withdjawn and no military protection
mittec in favor of the Philadelphia Convent
lion. Judge Curtis hot alwayi been regarded
by the Republichns as the highest authority
upon constitutional quentiona. He now
makes a powerful argnment in defence of
the President’s policy and to show the ne
cessity and importance of the propesed
Convention. We regret that we can find
room for only a few extract*. Judge Curtis
says:
“After much reflection, »nd w * u *

opinion that the Southern ?•
rightfully, and should be “ effectually, in

ciple and doctribe of secession the same as
ever. Though they have been beaten by
arms, they assert and maintain that tbe prin
ciple is the Same, and hope for its vindication
hereafter in some way. Ia view of the tact
that tbe state of public sentiment is such in
Memphis that it is conceded that no pnniah-
mefit whatever can be meted out to the per
petrators of these* outrages by tbe civil an-
thorilies, aod in view of the further fact tbat
ih» city repudiates any liability for 'he pro-
perty both of the Government and individu
als, destroyed by the mob, the committee
believe it to be the duty of the Government
to arrest try and pnnish the offenders by
military authority; arid also, by the same
authority, levy a tax qpoo the citizens of
Memphis sufficient to cover the losses of all
property destroyed. /*
