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.

Boston, Sept. 3.—Hannibal Hamlin has resigned his position as Collector of the Port. He intends to speak against the President's policv. 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.

Radicals in their outcry against one of the grandest efforts ever yet made in defence of a nation’s life. [Vcfc Fori World. 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 Oar New lark Correspondence* [From our Regular Correspondent. ] New York, Ang. 31, 1866. THK RECEPTION has been the engrossing topic this week, and I can truly swear that New York gave the „ .

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.

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.

Instead of “Beware of the dog,” our 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 young horse fanciers now are trying to ac quire the “Grant style” of handling the rib bons, and the impromptu race is all tbs talk of the adolescents as they sip their cock tails. * good-bys’’ is now considered as said to the cholera, and good riddance to it. It has kept thousands from visiting the metropolis this summer, but they need have no fears of it now. PEACHES are plenty enough on our street corner^ .but the price is perfectly stunning.

(Cheers.) Then if the government 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 claration it made, and under that declaration it went into the war and continued the war till it completely suppressed the rqb^lliou. (Cheers.) Tho rebellion has i>ee» yfppfetoptd, and tbo daofcnretjQapf/fee object of the war lor its 'suppression establffchedrthe great fact that those States, having advanced the idea that they had full power if they desired, and the ltytit, 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 which has declared officially by its acts that, notwith standing the rebellion was suppressed and the Union preserved, %nd that in fact States could not secede, yet have pfactically~assumed aud declared and carried out up to this moment the ffiuctriue that the govern ment was-dissolved aud that these Stages were out of . . ... ... .. ^ , the Union.

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.

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.

Oh, gentlemen, believe me that on !»>»■ occasion warm is the heart that feels and willing, ind 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 what I witnessed to-day in the outpouring of the popular heart of this great city.

States had nottao togM-peSarably 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 “No, no," ud cheers.)- Why, to permit Hus town- tiuae would be giving the lie direct to the Constitu tion and would oe subversive of every position we have taken since the rebellion commenced.
