THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION. We lay before our readers to-day th# ad dress and resolutions adopted by this body as the platform of the new party organiza tion, having for its object the maintenance of the restoration policy of the President. The social and political standing of the delegates composing this Convention, and the bar- mofiy of (feeling and unanimity of sentiment which characterized the proceedings, are well calculated to inspire a hopeful confi dence in the efficacy of the measures of re lief they have proposed. The most agree able, and, perhaps, significant feature fcLthe proceedings of this body, is that all the States were recognized as equals. Not oue was excluded from participation in its de liberations. Georgia and the other Southern States stand upon the same political plat form with those of the North and West, in all matters relating to the constitutional rights and general welfare of'the whole peo ple. Discarding all sectionalism, the dele gates acted and parted in the spirit of nnity, peace, and mutual concession. It was this spidt which enabled the sages and statesmen of the Revolution to frame a Constitution ac ceptable to a people scattered over a vast ex tent of territory, whose local interests were dissimilar, and whose trade and business ne cessities caused their demands for legisla tion frequently to clash and conflict; and it is this spirit, and no other, that mast restore the Union in the present hour of peril and political anarchy. That some of the resolutions are objection able to the Southern people we cannot but admit, yet it was not to be expected that a platform could be constructed, framed as tbia waa with apecial reference to the North, without in some particular wounding South ern sensibilities. Nothing but the necessi ties and exigencies of the approaching can. our oemmta vasa with the Radicals we are assured could have induced our Northern friends in the Convention to present ip their resolu tions matterswhich they doubtless knew would be distasteful to the Southern people. Bat the resolutions are, for the most part unexceptionable, and advocating as they do every measure of reconstruction embraced in President Johnson’s policy, will be gene rally accepted. The framers of the distaste ful resolutions are as implacable enemies to- the Radicals as ourselves, and although their work ia not unassailable, yet remembering the great delicacy of their task, and looking to the good results promised by the success of the movement they have initiated, we feel that it is our duty to support cordially the decisions of the Convention, and we doubt not they will be acceptable to the Conserva live masses throughout the country. We re cognize fully the conservative spirit wbicb animated the members, and feel assured that the effect of its deliberations will be im mensely to strengthen the great popular movement which is destined soon to over whelm the Radical faction. The resolutions and address make a square and well defined issue on the great question of reconstructing the Union. There can be no third party, no middle ground. It is truth, patriotism and prosperity on one side of the political line— error, sectionalism and a distracted conntry on the other. Not only have the Radicals nasnmed a national authority to enter the States and control their local affairs, but they have in addition assumed the power of de priving the people of the inalienable right of representation by refuting to admit membars of Congress. This is another step ln r tiife di rection of consolidation, and this new conaer- vative party mast meet the issue and decide upon it at the ballot box. r congratulation wer t ut- Onr PlilaKu Mfogoriencg. fTfrot otN Hpnpy Ofcrespondent] * -W Ti.

We do not know, says tbe Picayune, tbe Citizen’s authority for tbe con tradiction, but we.do know, on good author ity, that Mr. Davis was annoyed at some of ttw possagw in tbe narrative. A gentleman, one of the m'ost intimate friends he possesses, has so stated. He is said to have remarked tfiat "some of the conversations reported therein were of a nature which should not have been mads public; others were exag gerated.” There is no donbt Dr. Craven’s book was dictated by a heart open to sym pathy for a suffering human being; but tbe potty most directly inter sted doubted most positively at the time th policy of giving so •tiaate a history of the prisoner’s cell-fife conversations. read it a aecCmd time. At the close of the reading of the address it was unanimously adopted, the vote being followed by rap- turons demonstrations of applause, in which both the delegates and audience joined. The balance of the session was occupied by the an nouncement of commies of the new f»rty organiza tion—a National Executive Committee, Finance Com mittee, As- Resolution* complimentary to the President and officers of the Cabinet: also resolutions thanking the Mayor and municipal authorities and citizen* ot Phil, adelphia for kindness and hoapitalitv, were adopted, and after beneditlon and a few remarks from Presi. dent Doolittle, the Convention adjourned.

The South, with much at stake in that contest, will heto.no part in It. She will be a quiet, but not disinterested spectator of the conflict, which promisee to be one of the most energetic and violent political campaigns ever experienced in the country. Standing upon tbe platform of principles which they, with the Conservative* here, have bat * right to expert, and they certainly , will, receive the sympathy of the great mass of the Southern people; and in the event of their success—when they have re opened the ’doora of Congress—they will have the cor dial support and co-operation of the representatives of the Sontheym States; in that body- ift bringing back tbe Government to its old Constitutional landmarks.

Another “colored gentleman” addressed the audience—a Dr. P. T. B. Ran dolph, who recently received $200 from President Johnson in behalf of negro educa tion in New Orleans.

[From our Regular Correspondent]. Washington, Aug. IS, I860. The city is full of returned Conventionista. The President - * frieeds tree jubilant over She Convention. They are ne ver done talking about its enthusiasm and its harmony qM. it#Matf«to>*f principles. They pro. fess to think they will carry everything before them in the coming elections. Some of the Southern era think the aodt h.wse rsqntiofl ta eat a little more dirt than wtisirloiy rMtoarf, and the famous grand try of South Carolina and kfaaaachusetta is laughed at as a slight step from the su blime to the ridiculous But sure it is, the getters up of the Convention con sider it a perfect success.

They say the Convention got through well, enough, but now they any comes the tug of war, ti baht gw ttritaefe i|l tfeeir own barn-yards, with the “devil and dissembling looks to help them.” There is the rub. The President’s proclamation, setting aside the pa. er blockade of Matamora^ ha Mexico, ie considered Apitopoftftil Hep sfed^ftinmea tion ihf future policy. Some of the Presi dent’s friends have for aome time-been urgent toe him to cons down upon Maximilian ass political movement. They my the people of the United States are wedded to the Monroe doctrine, and the exhibition ef decision in its anfbroement would be re ceived with great satisfaction by the American people, and that the way to get peace at home was to keep up a tones abroad. It U eritild the people, “don’t have some foreign cause of quarrel, they will pick a home cause among themselves.” They refer to the exam ple of France, and my Louis Phillipe lost his throne by being too anxious to preserve peace, and that Louis only keeps, his by giving the Siting ele- tfe every now and then. The importance of this proclamation of the President about Matamoraa, ia owing to Its being aa indication of a policy to hart somebody abroad, if ne cessary to keep the peace at home.
