Grant, who Endorses the Action of the Convention# Washington,' August 17.—There was a great crowd to-day to hear the President in response to Reverffy Johnson, who presented the official proceedings of the Convention. He said, referring with feeling to the scene represented of South Carolina and Massa - chusetts entering into Convention together, he wia .could not but co%42ude that an ot«r tidence was directing tis aright, ifffe said our brave men haye performed their duties in the field and have wonlauireBflm perish able; but, turning to Gen. Grant, ho continued, there are greater and more important duties to perform, and while we have had their co-operation in theTteld, we now ne^d their efforts to perpetuate peace (applause); the Ex ecutive Department have tried to pour oil on tin wounds and restore the. Union, but it had not entirely succeeded. We have seen, he said, In one department of the Government every effort to prevent restora- of peace and harmony in the Union. We have seen hanging on the verge of the 1 Government, as it were, a body called, or which assumed to be the Con gress of the United States. We have seen this Con gress assume and pretend to be for the Union, when itB every step, and act tended to. perpetuate disunion and make a disruption of States inevitable. Instead of promoting reconciliation and harmony, its legislation has partaken of the character of penalties, retaliation and revenge. This* has been the course and the policy of one portion of your Government. The individual who is now addressing you, stands the rpp resentative of another Department of the Government The manner in which he was called upon to occupy that position, I shall not allude to on this occasion. Suffice it to say that ha Is hdro under the Constitution of the country, and being here by virtue of its pro visions, he takes his stand upon that charter of $ur liberties as the great rampart of civil" and religious liberty. [Prolonged cheering.] Having been taught in my early life to hold it sacred, and having practiced upon it during my whole public career, I shall ever continue to reverence the Constitution of my fathfers and make it my guide. [Great applause.] The Pre* sident proceeded and denied the charge that he had ever been tyrannical or a despot, but said such charges were simply intended to deceive and delude the public mind into the belief that there is some one in power who is usurping and trampling upon the rights of the Constitution. It is done by those who make such charges for the purpose of covering their own acts. [That’s so, and axiplause.] I have felt it my duty in vindication of principle end. the. Constitution of my country to call the attention of my countrymei to these proceedings. When f we qpmq to examine who has "been playing the tyrant,* by whom do we And despotism exercised ? As to myself, the elements of my n^arc aqd the pursuits of my life lpvaiiol rue aiiker m my ffejings or U myipmctijte, oppres sive; my nature on the contrary is rather defensive to its character; but I will say, that having taken my stand upon the broad principles of liberty and the Constitution, there is not power enough on earth to driye „me from it. [Loud and prolonged applause.] pjBVUig Jflaced myself upon that brgadTp^tfotm, I have hot been awed or dismayed or intimidated by either threats or encroachments, but have stood there in conjunction with patriotic spirits sounding the tocsin of alartn when I deemed the citadel of liberty in danger. [Great applause.] I said on a pre vious occasion, and repeat now, that all that is necea. sary in this great struggle against tyranny and des potism, Waa that the struggle should be. sufficiently audible for the American people to hear and properly understand it. They did hear, mid looking on and seeing who the contestants were, and what the strug gle was about, determined . that they would settle ttaas queetioixon the aide of the Constitution and of principle. I proclaim here to-day as I have on pre vious occasions, that my faith is in the great mass of the people. In the darkest hour of this struggle, when the clouds seemed to be most lowering, my faith, instead of giving way, loomed up through the clouds beyond which I saw that all would be well in the end. My countrymen, we all know that tyranny and despotism, in the language of Thomas Jefferson, cp* be exercised and exerted jpore effectually by tha- many than by the one. We have seen a Congress grad-' ually encroach, step by step, and violate,day after day, and month after month, the constitutional rights and the fundamental principles of the Government. We have seen a Congress that seemed to forget that there was a limit to the sphere and scope of legislation. We have seen a Congress in minority assume to ex- efrdifepoweX which, if allowed Ho be carried out, would result in despotism or monarchy itself. This is the truth, and because others as well as myself have seen proper to appeal to the patriotism and republican feeling of the country, we have been denounced in the severest terms—slander upon slander, vituperation ;s tl.es- possessed before they began 1 m:h i „ n ® rebellion, and we have submit- tenivV.f, WlUubmi t [0 .t, because ounia' a party tkrWi-1,,1. 110t on ly ef humanity, not only |»U C I , "-'' but of toleration.

The National Union Convention, the most? important political convocation that has ever assembled in this conn try since the conven tion jrhich adopt«4 the American Constitu tion, met in this city, in the immense build ing erected for the purpose, to-day, at twelve o’clock. The spectacle was most imposing, and could not be otherwise than gratifying to every well-wisher of the country. Large delegations were in attendance from every State and Territory, and the galleries were filled with thousands of intensely interested" spectators, among whom were many ladies. Tha Convention .was opened by Hon. A.W. Randall, President of the National Union Club, who announced that the delegates from South .Carolina and Massachusetts would eater the lu.ll arm in arm,. This announce ment was received with hearts cheers, and the entire Convention, members and specta tors,’rose to their feet, waving their hats to greet their entrance. Qovemor Orr, of South Carolina? and Gen. D. M. Conch, of Massa.-. chusetts, arm in arm, led the united delega tions of their respective States as they filed down 'the aisle and approached the platform, the band ip the gallery over the entrance to the hall playing an appropriate air. The effect was electric, and excited the most intense enthusiasm, during which “Dixie,” “Hail Columbia," “The Battle Cry of. Free dom, " and ‘ ‘Yankee Doodle, ” were performed, amid the cheers of the immense throng. Hon. John Hogan, of Missouri, called for three cheers for the thirty-six States represented in the Convention, which were heartily given, .Three cheers were called and given for Presi dent Johnson, and for the “red, white and blue.” — — The Convention coming to order, Gov. Randall proposed the name of Geq. John A. Dix, at New York, as temporary Chairman. Gen. Six Ascended the platform amid the enthusiastic cheering of the immense multi tude, aud. approaching the front, addressed the body in substance, as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention and fellow-citizens of the whole Union, I render you my hearty thanks for the honor yon have given me in celling me to preside over your deliberations. It is a proud distinction, because this is a Convention from the entire Union, ^nd if its meetings are conducted with propriety its resides wiU be of lasting benefit to our aatiotr. Since -1789 no assemblage in our country has been fraught with such momentous results. The Constitution the members of that body met to create, we ere how met to preserve and restore. We ate Hern to re-establish the principle that jell members of our country should be allowed, the right of representation.

Now, these condi tions have been accepted, and the radical measures now demanded in addition are subversive to oar na tional honor. The constitational amendment now demanded can never be ratified by three-fourths of the States. Is this the Government we have been fighting to preserve ?

" ’ The Radicals—for thsra totem tow Rsdirals left, despite the desertions from their ranks in this State in fovor of Hiester Clymer in preference to General Geary—have done their best to-bsing pan riot, as if sort of retaliation lor the occurrences in New Orleasm so recently. First it was whispered about, teak it was op»aly proclaimed, and. nog ,lt is. officially pro, mulgated in the Radical press, teat an extra number of policemen have keens worn imtobeoadaty daring the sessions of the Conventual, and slap that aaverai militia regiments were trader arms, with orders to remain in that belligerent attitude until tee Conven tion shall adjourn sine die. How many of theae mar tial men Governor Cartin baa to raaglntaa at $U per day, rations included, seems to ifs a matter of doubt; but I am safe in saying that they number more Hn» two. or three, or four.

It should be stated here that the weather waa so atipropitious as to pre vent many from attending who otherwise would have been present. On and over the galleriea hung the coats of arms of all tha States, sad on the wall back of the platform hung a banner bearing the inscription; the names of the States, the titles “1776," “1868,’’ and the motto, “United we stand, divided we fait” In the gallery at the*extreme end of the building, opposite the platform, was statiapad the band, which played most lustily during tbe entrance of the dele gates. .
