Senator Doolittle’s Address.
. . NAMES OF VICE*PRESIDEATi. / | C
Philadelphia, Aug. 1C.—The Convention met mt
10 o’clock. The Wigwam was crowded to its utmost
capacity. Half of the audience are ladies. Senator
unanimously and enthusiastically adopted. It declares
that the war just closed has niainfslned the authority
of the Constitution, and has preserved the Union with
the equal rights, dignity and authority of all the States
perfect and unimpaired; that representation in Con
gress and in the electorial colleges is a right abiding
in, and a duty imposed upon every State, and neither
Congress nor the General Government have any au
thority or power to deny the right to any State; that
Congress has no power over the elective franchise,
but that right belongs exclusively to each State ; that
no State hat the right to nit^^raw from the Union >
that on all constitutional amendments all States' have*
an equal right to vote; that slavery is abolished, and
forever prohibited; that the national debt is sacred
and inviolable, and the Confederate) debt is invalid;
recognlzs the services of Federal eatdiers and sailers,
and the debt due by tne nation to them and their
widows and orphans, and endorses President Johnson
for his steadfast devotion to the Coostitnti6n,lawa and
interest of the country. vy -
The address wa3 prepared by Mr. Raymond, of New
York ; was read by that gentleman and unanimously
adopted
The National. Executive, and Financial committees
were then announced.
Senator Doolittle said, in the opening address, that
this Convention was one of the greatest events of our
day. It was the first National Convention iu six years,
and in the interim there had been blood, agony and
tears; our brothers had fallen, and our resources been
wasted on a thousand battle fields; but, thank Qod,
the assurances here toll us peace has come at last. If
the people of the whole country could see the frater
nal feeling here there would be no struggle at the
polls this fall. [Great applause.] But as the whole
people can’t be here to witness what is transpiring,
the greater work rests on us. From this time until
the election of the next Congress, we should be un
tiring in our exertions to see that the next Congress
if this shall continue to refuse the sacred right of
representation to equal States, that the next shall re
cognize them. [Applause.] When that is done union
is restored; when union is restored we shall be pre
pared to enter upon a higher and nobler eareer among
the nations of the earth than has ever ye# been occu
pied by any government upon which the sun of Heaven
ever shone. [Applause.]
J. B. Doolittlo was elected President; Among
the Vice-Presidents are J. W. Brockenbrough, of Vir
ginia ; John A. Gilmer, of North Carolina ; Judge

feelings are very kind, to the people of the
South. They rely upon the South, when ad
mitted to their poUtioal rights, to assist them
in putting down, their looal^nemies, the Rad
icals. The ? y&'rness ‘ of' tW Radicals has
been very much increased by the disturbances
at New Orleans. Society at the North is in a.
very inflammatory condition, and the future
is more or less uncertain. From the intense^
hatred existing.between parties North, a com
plication of unfortunate events might pre
cipitate a civil war—indeed, the next Presi
dential election ia fall of dangers. If both
sides would have a plausible ground for claim
ing the next Presidential election, it is not so
easy to see how a conflict Would be avoided.
Delegates resisting the President are struck
with his calmness. He is not excited, but
quiet and self-possessed. This is a happy
temperament, which permits him to remain in'
the midst of such tempests so undisturbed.
The President starts before long to Chicago
to lay the corner-stone of the Douglas monu
ment. He will thus come face to face with
the masses of the people, and good may re
sult from his visit
The War Department has just ordered the
assemblage of a board of officers to consider
the reports on claims presented to" the" War
Department. By act of Congress, all claims
for property seized by the army are excluded
from the Court of Claims; and by another
act only citizens of loyal Stales can present
claims to the Quartermaster's Department for
property taken fog the Ufe pt the agmy. \ So
that the ground for Southern claims, even of
those who could prove their loyalty, is very
much narrowed, where the complaint is ol
property of any kind seized by the military.
The Treasury Department is much more lib
eral than the War Department; if the Trees
nry has your money, yon may get it back,
but if the War Department has it, you are
pretty certain not to get it back.
The most horrible crimes are constantly
perpretrated at the North. The war, and
the passions it aronsed, seems to have left
Northern society in a great state of demorali
zation. This is the general testimony of
those who have the opportunity of knowing.
The barriers of virtue are said to have been
terribly overthrown during the war, and it
will be a long time, if ever, before matters
resume their former condition. The last sen
sation crime North Is the murder by i
man, of the victim of his profligacy
He 9eems to have committed the murder with
entire nonchalance. The ruffiians of the
North, turned lt^e on the South wiil,?as th
Spanish proverb says of curses,'” com6 home
to roost again.” These cruel wretches will
startle society with their shocking crimes
Thus it is that society cannot, with impunity,
trample on the rights of others, without re
ceiving pay in the same kind of coin. There
is «e hereafter to punish nations for national
crimes. Hence they must reap in this world
the reward of their good or bad actions—and
the future has many sore trials in store for
the North.

ESfors 'Louisville Courier :
Cosmopolite has lately been wandering
among the broken arches, columns, and Dalis
of the gloomy past; has been viewing the
smouldering ruins of great intellectual'eont--
rious even in their fall—in the cause ot one
of the most unfortunate people (bat ever
bowed fa worship to the true God.
In viewing this immeose pile of human
failure, the writer has not failed to discover
in the dark botes and recesses nronad, amid
mvsterions signs and sounds, things aadrend-
fal as the ansanctifled grave, and damning,
in A* nature as the sin against the Holy,
Ghost.
En masse the people arose in a common
cause, and like the white crested billows of
the deep sea, rolled on in tremendous force,
bearing down all opposition, till their
strength was spent; and ibeo, without cow
ardice and without fear, they, eu masse,
yielded to superior numbers, and with that
lolly though deeply humiliated spirit, re
solved to wear tbe galliug yoke imposed by
that anti-Christian, supremely despotic*!,
and ultra merciless spirit, called radicaUsih,
which was made originally a “lying spirit’’
to deceiv* both “Gog and MflgojL’’ and to
gather theto'tdgether to battle. 1 1
But I am consuming too much sunlight,
{tegsr, ink, and the precious time of yourself
and readers, in these generalities; and dill'
now proceed to some particulars of the late
war, which took place, as it were, in my
presence, and will thus endeavor to redeem
the prbteiae made in the first correspondence.
The fall of New Orleans was, in the opinion
of wise men, a fearful blow against the prob
able success of the Confederate arms. For i*
opened wide the gates to the whole valley of
the Mississippi; and invited the foe to enter
and’ take much spoil and impoverish the
people. *
The writer was unfortunate enough to be
in the city before its fall, at the time of, and
afterwards, till forced by dire necessity to
turn up elsewhere; and hence can speak in
telligently upon the subject In the first,
place, the defences of the city exhibited the
undeveloped mind of a student in his first
lessons at a military college, and proved ut
terly wort Ideas; although those in command
mmift the impression upon the minds of the
public that a successful stand could be made
against the enemy by land or water, or both.
Zigzag earthworks penetrated in every direc
tion, even piercing the impassable swamps,
where even an alligator would have found
himself “hemmed in and hedged up” by a
continuous natural growth. Many of these
works were never manned or mounted, and
some that were, when the hour of need
loomed np these eonld not use the gun ear-
tridges, for they would not fit the guns, so
that-one feeble effort only was made imme
diately around the “Crescent City” to save it
from the sharp and destructive teeth of the
foe
Two large rams were being built, but they
were never finished, the work progressing
like the miserably slow pace of the sloth.
They had but «ne set of bands, and they
labored* but about ten hours per diem,
though the continuous roar of the enemy's
guns demanded the faithful improvement of
every hour. A wealthy gentleman offered
the contractors (so I heard him say in a few
excited remarks to tbe surrounding crowd)
a very large amount—about fifty thousand
dollars—to pat on two sets of hands, so that
the night as well as tbe aay' might be spent
in speeding the completion of the work.
Others, 1 was told, had also made them
similar offers ; but it was not done, though
hands could have been bad to any number.
When tbe larger one was ready to launch, it
was found pinned to tbe ways, and a week,
at least was comaumed in freeing it. Two
powder mills were set in motion near the
city, but through mismanagement they were
blown to atoms.
When the alarm bell was struck early on
the morning ot tbe ever memorable 25th of
April, to announce tbe astounding intelli
gence that tbe Federal gunboats and ships of
war had successfully passed the brave and gal
lant forts below, everything was consterna
tion. Citizens and soldiers, with all manner
of vehicles, crowded all tbe avenues of tbe
city, flying in every direction ; while multi
tudes of womeu, with disheveled hair, tears,
#ttd.lUAUc voices, joiued the mud thr^^.
Burning cotton everywhere, and vessels
wrapped in liyipg.- flame, added to the hor
rors of the scene, ' Snd wake calculated to
impress the mind of the distant observer
that tbe city itself bad been fired in numer
ous’places.
“Now up and down throughout the town
Most trail tic scenes were acted,
And some ran here and others there,
v Like men almost distracted.
“Some fire cried, which some dented.
And soma said the earth had quaked;
While girle and hoys with hideous noise
Ran through the streets half naked.”
The most absurd military orders were is
sued, which could never have been executed
witli the surroundings For instance, a
thousand men were called for to man some
miserable old hnlks, without a gun, if my
memory serves me right, to board tbe Yan
kees when they came op. Little plank fire
boats were commenced, to barn them up in
(fonring np the river. The worthy Governor
wos.veiy much agitated, and took passage
on a little boat which had just arrived, load
ed with sugar, molasses, fte., and he got the
fondL hearted captain to shove off instanter,
bound for the upper coasts with all her
cargo! ’Tis said that he was so fearful of
being overhauled by the blue-jacketed Yan
kees that ever and anon he would have
either sugar or molasses thrown overboard,
and bacon pitched into the fornaoee, that
the boat might be accelerated in her speed.
„ When tbe Federate reached tbe front of
tbe city, this vast roar ot clamor and oonfo-
sion was in fall blossom, and began to pro
duceIts legitimate fruit in tbe hellish work of
plunder, <fec. irew.ao terete an 4e;

vees, to sugar, molasses, bacon, &c.; men,
' mand children; black, white, relief
town; every nation, tongue ana neo-
pie, were folly represented in this great
“Congress of nations.” For several days
this wholesale robbery was kept afloat, till
ciushadout by the excellent Mayor, and gome
citigen under his direction. He and sotee
esAsnd noble bearing in one of tbe dart-
tion; for they got up and signed a petition to
the Mayor that the city should never be sur
rendered; that titer were willing to petirii
beneath the ruins of their bomea and fltesidfo
or side by side with their h ns bead* sad
brothers, amid tbe smoke and roar of battle.
While tbe usual preliminaries were pend
ing between tbe naval officers of Ute United
arnica flept aud the divil authorities, for a
surrender of tbe city, the “Commander of
the Department” for the Confederate States
appeared aud “refused to surrender the place

The Richmopd correspondent of the New
York Times, “E. C.,” in his letter oftka 71b,
relates the following unique story;. I n
Tbe country will remember that daring the*
winter onr Government obtained' aaMranCn
of the : hopelessness Of tbe rdMt cause by
coming into possession of the tealimony oi
General Lee before a committee Of the rebel
Congress, which was never 'reported to 'the
Houses, except in eeefet session; if at aft. A
full history ol the manner-foiWhich MO Gov^
eminent obtained that teforenation would be
mere interesting than ariy romance, but R fo
too soon yet to do more than nritlioe tk The
•evidence of Generalise was taken late in
the winter by this- cotnmiitee, and tong be
fore the committee bad deteffiafoM Whpt
course they should pursue—alffiost before
the iok was dry upon their notes—the entire
etefoment of the rebel. General, word for
word, was in possession of President Lincoln
at Washington. In the room wbefethe cofo-’
mittce met was a closet, and from that ctoret
immediately after their adjournment, cattle’
the priceless information. Outside tbe bnoke
it at onCc changed bands, nod a second party
Walked leisurely through thr streets tit Rich
mond with it, nntil upon the environs, he en
countered one ot tbe Common country carts
of this section proceeding with the half of a
newly-killed beef toward the rebel line* In
Bailer’s front No communication that tab
most lynx-eyed could perceive passed be
tween the man and tbe cart, but tbe farmer
gradually changed his direction, and was
soon walking back in the direction whence
he had come. The cart went'on, readied
and passed through the rebel camps Without
molestation and reached tbe pickets, where
it halted, aS a matter of Contse. The beef
was destined for the house of a planter just
beyond the rebel lines. and in plain sight of
their outposts, and about equi-distant be
tween them and our own oqtpoets. Thebe
explanations made and a careless search of
the cart by the rebel sentry, that is, k look
into it, the cart proceeded on its way. Jtut
as it neared the house a small party Of onr
cavalry made a dash at it, and to the utter
surprise of the rebel pickets, who saw the
whole affair, onr men only hovered a moment
around the cart, then galloped hack With one
more man than they came with, leaving cart
and beef, and driver and mule behind them.
They did not know it then, bat under the
beef was a man, and the man had a package,
and the package contained the statement* of
General |Lee before the committee of Con
gress a few honrs before.
In outline this was how the thing was
done. It nay seem strange, but Lincoln
and Grant knew long before many of the
highest officials of the insurgent Govern
ment the sworn statement o? theii com
mander as to the hopelessness of /uriher re
sistance. Knowing that . tbe Govern
ment and Grant had this information ex
plains many things in connection with the
arrival within onr lines of Hunter, Stephens
and Campbell, at the time of the Rampton
Roads conference, which at the time were
inexplicable. The feat of obtaining this in
formation is unrivaled in the annals of war,
and gradually, as tbe facts come to light; it
will be tonnd that Grant had everyday snch
particular information from the rebel cap
ital that he knew what Jeff. Davis was talk
ing about each day in tbe most private of
bis conversations with bis Cabinet kttd'mem
bers of his Congress. ’*'
Address of Head Centke Btirnri—
Convents on the Dbclisc of the Bri
tons.—Mr. Stephens has delivered an *d
dress before a large gathering of the IVtolaa
Brotherhood, in which he reviewed the
present condition of the British Government
at great length. He arid tt was a noticeable
tact that since the existenoe of the Fenian
organization in Ireland bad began to make
itself apparent, England carnally avoided
exery dispute which took place among
foreign powers, that might possibly bare
tendency to draw her info war. Her old f
sftion as a great power had not been mu
tained. In fact, there Was a total want Of
that spirit which had for so many years ren
dered her formidable in the eyes ofdSuropeai
potentates: Her attitude in tbe recent war
must necessarily have earned tbe bitter con
tempt of the mosses of ihe English people,
who were not only disgusted with her action
in that particular, bat appeared clkmerotn
for ap entire change of tbe Constitution,
cheering, and screaming with delight at
Commonwealth. These and other signs
were sufficient of themselves to All the Irish
heart with the hope of a near approach of
the day of reckoning, the day When Ire!
shall become an mdependfcnt'MtlOnkilty-'
