New York, Sept. 3.—Henry Ward Beecher's letter
approving the purposes of the Soldiers’ Convention at
Cleveland, to be held on Sept. 17, as also the policy of
the President, elicits high praise from the conserva
tive journals.
The New York Evening Post says of Beecher’s letter:
“It deserves to be written in letters ol gold. It ought
to be read by every mau and woman in the country.
It is an appeal to tlie sober common seii.se of the Ame
rican people, which we hope will bear wholesome
fruits, and will turn many from the blind^nd pas

Boston, Sept. 3.—Hannibal Hamlin has resigned

The S4u(?in7^i?n^Sl]fhIa Con-
^ vent ion.
The Radicals are still trying to keep up aUagiAjrituis
sort of cheerfulness over the late grand and ominous
Conservative demonstration at Philadelphia. As
drunken men will instinctively cling to eacn other to
prevent their heels from flying up <-n a slippery pave
ment^ or as schoolboys whistle to keep ta^l* other’s
courage up when pairing through a chn^cfiij*ard at
night, so these conscience-stricken factiouists—even
when they must clearly read their doom themselvc»--
keep trying to persuade their deluded blit doubting
followers that the handwriting on the wall is not really
what every sensible person interprets it to mean.
Disappointed and alarmed at the orderly Tpaniu-r An
which, the Convention met, traugsytod tils iusineds,
and dispersed ; chagrined at finding all their spiteful
hopes and pro;?nosticatiou.s of dfcjsonsious among
Northern and Southern members ehd in the most
thoroughgoing fraternization that was ever be
held between lately antagonistic communities o# men,
they are still carrying on the futile pretence that the
reconciliation between the two sections is not at all
as perfect as.it professed to be at Philadelphia; that
the entrance of Massachusetts and South Caro
lina arm-in-arm was a mere theatrical display ; and
that, in abort, the South repudiates the whole pro
ceeding.
In the whole South there are not half a dozen papers
of any influence which do not, with more or less zeal,
openly and cordially espouse the proceedings and
resolutions of the Philadelphia Convention, as a most
powerful anil effective engine of President Johnson's
patriotic policy, and, consequently, of the regenera
tion of the Southern States.
In Virginia we find it warmly supported by shch
able and influential -representatives of public senti
ment os the Richmond Whig, Times, Dispatch, and
Examiner; the Petersburg Index and the Express; the
Lynchburg Virginian, Loudoun Mirror, Alexandria
Gazette, Danville News Fredericksburg Deader,
Norfolk Old Dominion, A-c. So. with very few nud
unimportant exceptions, we see it indorsed by all the
leading journals of New Orleans, Memphis, Mobile,"
Charleston, Savannah, and other great centres of trade
and influence in the South. We are sorry to notice
that we cannot rank among tlie friends of the Con
vention the Richmond Enquirer, which must, indeed,
be in possession of some hypocritical microscope
that can distinguish slurs upon Southern honor, in
what has passed the jealous scrutiny ot so many
of its equally' able contemporaries, and of so many
highly gifted and representative men, whose lives
and intellect have shed a lustre not only upon the
South, but the whole country.
Of the many good things we have seen upon this
subject iu our Southern exchanges, we know of
nothing which gives a clearer and fairer condensation
of the whole question than the following passage from
the Richmond Examiner:
“Let it be once confessed that respect is due not
only to our convictions, but to those of the North, and
then the impartial mind has no difficulty in pronounc
ing the labors of the Convention, eminently satisfac
tory. havteprincM«saiAJ>R|]ii»l M which
ifcgToncQ.iMouldTK MHAlhi 9#jiH of the
vw thesiwfiings AfW.* »TSr mMitt—the
wise mean—always so difficult to find and follow, was
never more happily and successfully pursued than at
Philadelphia. No section got all it desired, but each
received everything demanded by a proper spirit of
compromise in mutual concession.’’
If all of our few dissenting Southern friends would
only take this broad, impartial view of the extremely
delicate ,iliffi£u|^ii^%hich such ‘

Mr. Seward on War and New Guar,
antics.
In tlie course jof hw Nuir York butquet
speech, Mr. Seward said:
Suppose we do reject the Southern States Irom the pre
sent Congress, when will we get the Union restored ?
Nobedy tells us when it will be, only that it will be when
God’s providence softens the hearts of the Southern
people still more, which will be, they suppose, by and
bye. WellcJ am not content-with waiting for “by and
bye.*' I confess, fellow-citizens, in the presence of
the reporters of the Now York Herald, the New York
Times; the New York Tribune, and the New York
Evening Poet, that,in conducting under the direction
of ihepyesident of the tJnittLB tales the foreign affairs
of the country, I haye gather a difficult busino«s to
manage sometimes. Tfiej^ray that they want a war
with Mexico right off. They say that they wifnt a war
with Spain right off. I know that they want a war
with Great Britain right off, for the eatisfactiim of their
Fenian friends ; but let me tell them and yodf once for
all, that I am, in favor of all the wars—(Cheers)—which
the nation shall require (Hurrah!) : ; provided that the
nation put itself into an attitude to march to the field
with two legs. (Laughter.) I do not want it to go to the
field with one leg. And so I am a little impatient to
have the lame lug made right. (Cheers aiid great ap
plause.) Guarantees are talked of. I think the time
has come for the President of tlie United States and
for us who are associated with him to ask guarantees
on the other side. What guarantee have we that if
Tennessee should humble herself in- the dust, and
North Carolina and South Carolina should “eat the
eek, and it the Southern States should give ud forty
of their representatives they would then beadmitted?
I do not see any guarantee for that New terms may
be insisted on every day. J

The Kmprtii Charlotte'. Visit to France.
[Paris Correspondence London Times I
I have more precis.' information as to the obicct of
the Empress Charlotte's visit to Paris, it is to obtain
a release, for the present, from the obligation of Dat
ing what is due to France out of the Mexican Custom-
Houses. The invasions of the insurgent bands Lave
greatly reduced tbeir proceeds, wbh-h arenow coufiued
to the port of Vera Cruz. The Mexican government
requires, even with tjie strictest economy, 600,000
piasters monthly for its indispensable expenses; and
for some time past it has not been in the receipt of
more than two-fifths of that sum from the customs.
The financial condition of the Mexican government is
thus reduced to the lowest ebb, and it is to seek relief
from its gonerous creditor that her Majesty has braved
the dangers of pestilence snd of the ocean. It is said

hearty one—a great deal more eo than his
political opponents desired or hoped. Prom
our youth up we are taught that the highest
position that man can nil on this earth is that
of President of this great Republic, 4nd,
maugre all political bias any one may libve,
bis bat will come off in a manly and respect
ful salute to the head of our own glorious
country. As the procession passed these
headquarters there was not a head remained
covered of all the dense mass of humanity
that crammed Broadway, and, as far as the
eye could reach up the wide avenue, there
was a fluttering of handkerchiefs from the
walks, stoops, windows, and roofs, and a
continuous roll of cheers, that ceased not
until the solid phalanx of the police consti
tuting the rear-guard had passed.
^ THE PRESIDENT
probably never looked better in his life, and,
as he bowed his acknowledgements, to the
masses, seemed evidently gratified and
pleased at the manner in which the “hi-hiV
of New Yorkers were succeeded by full-
blooded cheers and “hurrahs.'.’ By the time
he reached City Hall his stout neck and
shoulders must have needed some lubrica
ting fluid 1 to restore them to their normal
condition. It must tax the strong constitu
tion of even our President to perform the
physical part of such exercise as he was “put
through” here on Wednesday.
GEN. GRANT
sat in the back part of the carriage, looking
as if he would much prefer a “good smoke”
—in fact, he looked -‘smoke hungry”—bnt
the crowds acted perfectly crazy at the sight
of the General, with Farragut at his left,
have heard nearly all the great cheering
given on Broadway for the past seven yean,
but never was it equalled by that given on
Wednesday afternoon for the commander of
the United States army.
The manner in which the General took off
his bat to his fellow citizens was pecnliar—
it was just like that of a country school boy
\yho don't know how to do it—and it went
back on his head as if he was afraid tf> let
that old army sombrero part company from
his cranium any longer than necessary.
ADMIRAL FARRAGUT
wa3 altogether of a different style from ihe
General. He was as pleased and as fall- of
smiles as a young girl just going to be
married—and he doffed his navy cap, tdis
playing a forehead extending almost to the
back of his neck,) and bowed continuously,
much to the gratification of. everybody—
and everybody insisted on “three more”
for him and the General at every step.
BROADWAY
was certainly in splendid trim—flags, big
and little, fluttered in the cool east wind—
the sun kept behiud their clouds—ladies
were out and present by thousands, looking
their moat bewitching smiles—the military
were in their new uniforms—and, as the
stores nearly all closed at one o'clock, there
was truly a genuine holiday for all except
newspaper men.
CLUBBING -j,
has become a fearful epidemic on the part of
the police of this city. The “conservatives”
of our municipal peace seem to think they
are perfectly privileged by law to smash a
man’s brain in, break his arm or his nose, or
to heat a prostrated drunkard into jelly. Sev
eral very flagrant cases have occurred in the
upper part of the city lately, where respecta
ble citizens have been knocked down, beaten
shamefully, carried to the station house,
kept all night iu a lousy, filthy cell, among
the most abandoned criminals, and then-dis
charged in the morning without any redress
—and all this brutality for simply askiog %
question of one of the ignoramuses who
wear a blue uniform ! The evil has grown
to such proportions as to seiiously attract
the attention of the public, and a police offi
cer is, in some quarters, as much avoided at
night by peaceable citizens as a mad dog. A
new set of characters seem latterly tdbwve

advice is “Beware of the police.”
BOBSK FANCIERS
are in a perfect furore of excitement this
week, owing to Gen. Grant's race on the
Central Paik. The General was in Je
rome's drag, with a pair of blooded horses
that worry the best drivers in this city to
haudle. However, the General (who grad
uated at the head of the class for horseman
ship at West Point,) did not ffbd any diffi
culty in putting them over the road and leav
ing the others to “lake his dust.’.’ Our

bas discharged its duties in the past, and there is
something else to be performed, why not trust to it
yet ? The work is not yet completed, though we have
passed through fields of peril, through carnage and
blood. Now we are brought to a different period, and
a different issue is before us. Our enemy, as it were,
was put dowu in the field, but there is stiM a greater
and more important task before us, for you and I toper-
form. (Applause.) I may not be permitted and I should
not trespass upon you to remark in this connection that
the rebellion was suppressed, or, iu other words, the
government commenced the suppression of the re
bellion v for - the express purpose of preserving the
Uuiou of these States. (Cheers.) That was the de

either by force or peaceable means, to separate th^u-
selves, aud that idea having been determined and
settled by tlie Government of the United 8totes on
the field against them, were not of course separated
by that act. (Applause.^ There is one of Che depart
meuts of tho. government—the Executive Department
—which holds that tliese States are still in the Union,
while there is another department of the government

In tbeir professions—that they were all politicians
and were not to be believed. They ME smut red-

who has fought this great rebellious spirit with more-
consistency and determination than the individual
who now addresses yon. (Great cheering.) Who has
aacrificed and.who has suffered mom? Mut because

fleuts growing out 6f the great civil war, should I be

Who dare at thia period of populai* representation and

Men Who have been loyal, to. the Government, who
have obeyed all its laws and paid its taxes, who sus
tained the Government in the hour rff its Worst heed;
are now to be charged with disloyally. Who will dare
nsimwie that the actions and professions af loyafcjr and
devotion to the Union evinced by (hose men of the
South are'an false ? If you reach this pblnt Of unbelief,
then all confidence is lost in men. If we cannot trust
each other, then I tell you the Government is nothing
more than a rope of sand. The Government can have
no tie, no bond, no adhesive powdr; when men living
under H cease to have confidence and trust In each
other. (Applause.) But these men who denounced
that Convention, and who in time gone by mad© pro
fessions that they were peace-loving people, 4 war-
hating people. Non; what is their argument ? They
aay. “We cR»h»t betiCTa^wnrf loyalty,
and therefore this practical dissolution of the Union—
this denial of your rights and representation in Con
gress—will be eoudemned. The Southern men are
nol44bebsliwvsd.” Nsw iffirnot fcM***«*u£(

I say it myself, that Ilecf and entertain opinions and

Southern man. I am at the same time a Northern man.
(Applause.) That is 16 say 1-ann fc citfzlfi of the United
States. (Applause.) And I am willing to concede to
all other States and classes of my fellow-citizens what
I claim for my own State aud for myrelL But'I was
going to call your attention to this point The Sdiitb*
era States or their leaders proposed a separation.
Now for what reason did they propose that separation 1
This is a proper time to ash c^KSoelvcs Ui^t question—
the time to consult our brains, aud not to act on im
pulse or passion; the time has come when reason only
shall bear away. -
fcThe South’s reasons, or one of them, for separating
was that she claimed her rights wer£ not'secured to
her under the Constitution. Whether true : or false,
that was one of the reasons. I took nay position in
the Senate of the United States, and contended then,
as I have contended ever and always, that the Union
of these Stakes was perpetual. (Applause:) That it
wa§ a magic circle that never could be brofcen. The
South said that the Constitution could not be enforced,
and hence they wanted separation. But in establish
ing a new Constitution for themselves, what did they
do ? They took as their Constitution the old Consti
tution of the United States, with a tew slight varia
tions. (Applause.) The very Constitution under
which they had lived from the - origin of fhe Govern
ment up to their attempt at separation. They made
the attempt to separate and we said no, you not
separate; you will remain with us aud constitute a
part of the Government, as you have been heretofore.
They want to war ; they have been conquered; the
rebellion has ceased, they being forced to lay down
their arms by £he army and navy of the'United States.
They then accepted the teems offered them by the
Government And wiiatwefoGhty? WkmlMhm
before the termination of the rebellion, disband your
armies, return to your original position in the Gov
ernment, .aud we will receive you with open arms.

disbanded under the lead of my distinguished friend
ou my right. (Great cheering for Gen. Grant, to whom
the President rejferred.) That beingjdoqe, what were
the terms of the capitulation? They accepted the
terms of the Government. They said we want to re
turn. Some of them said we were mistaken. Others
said we accepted the arbitrament of war to settle the
question, and the arbitrament of our own selection
has decided against us, aud that being so, a9 magnan
imous fore we accept the issue. Now, the question
comes up, do we want to degrade and humble these
nidi? Do we want them to bow down tons that we
may tramp them in the dust. (Cheers and crire-of
“No,” and “Never.”) Ido not want them to come back
to the Union a degraded and despised people. If they
came back so they would not be fit to be a portion or
the great American fadiily. (Applause.) I want them
to come back as brethren and become agaoi a part of
the great whole. I want them to come back with all
their rights .and privileges under «the Constitution.
(Cheers.) But iu claiming to come back as loyal
citizens of the Unioo they are denounced as hypo
critical and false. In returning they have lost the
wretchedness of slavery—the great apple of discord-ati d
they take up the Constitution under which they lived
before, and under which they desire 'again to live.
What then is the cause of distrust—what is the cause
of want of confidence ? Is there any cause ? (Cries of
No, no.) I do not come here to-night tho apologist o#
the South. It is not necessary. This is how charged
against me—that I am the apologist of men who tried
to destroy the Government. Every act of my public
life.either in speeches or acts.disproves the charge that
I want to apologize for them, aud if it is not so then
there is no use in a man having a public record to re
fer to. (Cheers.) I am not one-of those who justifies
or apologises for the South for ligr heresies or her
errors. The Sooth did wrong, the leaders did wrong,
they formed a public opiuion and coerced and enforced
thousands and thousands of honest men to bow to
their dictation. Yes, and when they reached that
point in rebellion, when they saw the flag of* their
country receding in the distance, and when they saw
it float for the last time their faces grew pale with
grief. (Applause.) And after they passed through
the struggle, and when they returned again under thd
old flag, thousands and thousands of the people re
joiced in their hearts at once more beholding the flag
of their country—the flag they had loved so well, and
under which their fathers fought. "When Davis and
others of that class were talking of separation at the
South, there was another class North, in 4he shape of
Philips and Garrison, talking of dissolution. This
was like the anvil and the hammer. (Cheers and laugh
ter.) I am for the Union, aud 1 am agrinst all those
who are opposed to (be Union. (Cheers.) I am for
the Union, the whole Union and nothing but the
Union. I helped my distinguished friend on my right
(General Grant) to fight the jebatikm Sooth. We
do not forget his peculiar phrase that he was
? oing to fight it out on that line all summer.
was with him and did all I could, and when we
whipped them at that end of the line, 1 want to aay I
am now fighting these men at the' other end.
(Cheers, and cries of “That’s good.”) We are engaged
uow in a struggle apd contest fan* the Union of these
States. I have heard it advanced that if we let in the*
Southern men they will control Congress and control
the Government; that we want to let in rebels. No,
we waut to let in loyal men, and we waqt none bat
loyal men. Think of fifty-six members controlling
two hundred and eighty-two. The thing fa absurd.

GENTLEMEN, CITIZENS OF NEW YORK : Th» Mnd
manner in which you have responded to the toast
proposed by the dta^BmiJatifed MuS&bf your city is,
under existing eimimifa*efc&|MBi£]y gratifying to
me, and iu saying how gratifying it is to me I wish

I consider it is always better to speak the troth and

But, gentlemen, the liev* most be exceedingly dull
indeed, aud the heart almost without an impulse that
could not give utterance to something responsive to
what has boon said and what has been done in your
city to-day. Oh, gentlemen, believe me that on !»>»■

sincere is the tongue that speaks. (Great cheering.)
Aud would to God it was iu my power to reduce to
living sentences and commensurate language the feel
ings and emotions that tne scenes of this day and
this night have produced in my heart (Applause.)
I must not attempt, ho we yer, in response to what has
been said and the manifestations that have been
made, to make an elaborate speech or to indulge in
any lengthy arguments, but more to confine myself
to the sincere utterances of my heart, and tQ the ful
ness and.overflowing of its sentiments. (Oncers.) I
would that I could give utterance to wnat 1 feel, to

secede. One of tbe means or modes of peaceable se-
ce.sion advanced was that States of the Union could
withdraw their representatives from Congress, and
that that would be a practical dissolution of tbe Union.
We denied their right to withdraw their representa
tives, which they asserted they had. how, arhan we
established tlie doctrine that they had no right to
withdraw, and the rebellion to sustain their views of
the question was at an end, and they were defeated in
the issue, these States again resuming their position
and renewing tbeir relations, as Jar aa in them lav.
with the Federal Qoveruuent, and when they sent
representatives to Congress—in violation of the sacred
charter of liberty they are deprived of their fair share
of represeRtattot). «ad .consequently of thbir rights
and priviiegea under the Constitution. (Cheers.) We
find that this other department of the government, in
violation of the Constitution, which declares in ex
press terms as well as iu spirit that all the States of
this Union have been and still continue to be part of
the Union—this department denies to these States
their representation fn the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives. (Cheers.)
Now then comes up the struggle before us. Will
we submit—will the American people submit to thia
practical dissolution of the Union ? (Cries of “No.”)
Why, this doctrine has bsen repudiated and freauent-
States be permitted to continue and remain as toey
arfe—practically, so far as representation is concerned,
in a condition of disunion and disruption ? <Gria» of

have taken since the rebellion commenced. Are we

—are we now prepared to continue this disrupting and

spirit of Christianity and sound philosophy, are we
prepared to renew theocenes through which we have
passed. (Great cheering and applause.) Are we pre
