This speech a better Government for the States which j was delivered fiom the platform in front cumposed the old Confederation—a Gov- ; of the Mechanics’ Institute, to the large eminent which has been confirmed and assemblage of negToes on Philippa street. The Philadelphia Convention.. The opening scenes and acts of this Convention were master strokes of policy. The delegates from the Northern have treated those from the Southern States with marked respect and courtesy. The dispatches to the associated press inform us that delegates from South Carolina and Massachusetts went arm-in-arm into the Convention, and the excitement which ensued was intense. Tears filled the eyes of nearly all present. Those whose States have longest opposed each other on all national political questions, now meet together as friends, with the deter mination to labor unitedly in connection with citizens of all tho States for the preservation of the liberties of the Amer ican people. No man can foretell the final result of the acts of this Conven tion ; hut every patriotic heart in this great land swells with the hope that this concourse of citizens from the North, South, East and West may be successful in giving a fatal blow to radicals and rad icalism. If the enemies of republicanism are ever overthrown, some agency must he used, and why may not this Conven tion be that agency? Perhaps Ameri cans have endured misrule long enough, and the time of their deliverance has come. If snch is the case, we all should hail the approach of the glorious day of right, and feel in our hearts the profoand- est gratitude to the Giver of all good. News Items. Maj.

Morales are the Italian plenipotentiaries. Tho Mexican Empress, Carlotta, arriv ed yesterday at St. Nazzaine. The French Empress has gone to meet her. There is great excitement in London this evening from a supposed attempt to blow up the two houses of Parliament. Ten packages of powder, with fuses par tially burnt, were found near the entrance of the Lord Chamberlain’s office. The House of Lords members have reason to fear another Guy Fawkes gunpowder plot. There were 1,053 deaths from cholera in London last week. The LaGrange Reporter says the cor ner stones of two factories at West Point, G*., were laid on the 1st, in the presence of a large concourse of citizens. The bale of cotton of the new crop, Which arrived in Macon on the 4th, was purchased by the leading cotton mer chants of that city, and sent as a present to Andrew Johnson.

Play your hands open — play them for what they are worth, and when they are open wide so the peo ple can see them, they will soon tell you by their votes whether they are at par or not. Recollect what killed the Know Noth ing party. It was its 6ccret organization. Many of its principles were good, and if a secret political organization, with good and wholesome principles, should break down so soon, what will a secret organiza tion, without any expressed principles, do? Go down sooner, as a matter of course—can’t stand. Now 1 would say to all good men—for I am certaiu there are good and pious men in the organization—study well what you are doing. Give us your principles if they are good, aud let us learn to be wise; for if there ever was a time when the people should be enlightened and learn the right way, now is the time. If there is no balm do quit it—abhor evil in every shape, and recollect that principles not worth publishing to the world are not worth your attention day or night. Your organization is causing division in neigh borhoods and in churches. The Southern people ought to be united, hut how can they he united with such a trick as you have on foot, when you positively refuse to let in a good large class of people of this county and every other county?— What effect can your medicine have on the sick of this laud when you positively refuse to administer it to them ? Good m3n be consistent. Ministers of the Gospel, fathers and praying men, is it possible that you have found a temporal blessing too good for those to have whom you are willing and expect to meet in heaven ? Now it has been some four weeks since this organization landed in Carroll, and still no platform is put forth. Mr. Edi tor, if you can give us any light, let us have it. J. M. C. We knew nothing of the organiza tion to which our correspondent refers.— If its members have in view the union of all Southern men in their struggle for our rights in the Union, their success would be a source of rejoicing. Should these Leagues be promotive of discord and division at home, their existence will be a cause of regret. We would be pleased to publish respectful communica tions from those who oppose or approve, provided they are calculated to enlighten the public in reference to this new organ ization. A Prophet. Rain.—We predicted a few days ago that there would be rain in a day or two. We are glad to inform our readers that the prediction was correct. There was a fine shower of rain on Thursday between Atlanta and the Stone Mountain.—At lanta Neic Era, 11 (It. We can safely recommend the Era to our readers as a journal worthy of a lib eral support. The editors and proprietors are clever, talented gentlemen, and fur nish their subscribers a daily which is neatly printed and filled with choice, able fearful trials and perils which it has en countered and overcome, (applause.)— Ten States have >et no representation in the Legislature of this country, aud this wrong we have come here to protest against, and, as much as in our power, to redress. When the President of the United States declared the war had ceas ed, all the States had the right to repre sentation. The exacting of new condi tions is subversive of our National liberty and dangerous to the public peace.— (Loud applause.) In this the Govern ment our fathers fought to establish, or which we have fought to maintain? He trusted that, in the deliberations of the Convention, the main idea would be to change the present complexion of Con gress, to purify the Republic, and bring it hack to its original standard: one Country—one Flag—one Union of equal rights.” After the appointment of committees on credentials, reslutions and organiza tion, the Convention adjourned until to morrow at noon. Senator Dolittle has been nominated in committee organization as permanent chairman. Mr. Vallandigham sent a letter to the Ohio delegation, declining to go into the Convention. It will be read before that body to morrow. Pailadetphia, Aug. 15.—The Com mittee on Credentials reported in favor of the admission of Gen. Crosby’s name in the delegation. The letter of Mr. Vallandingham met with applause. After stating that the Ohio delegation had passed resolutions endorsing him as a duly elected delegate, and his potriotic and fond desire to repre sent his constituents, and declaring their readiness to stand by him in the assertion of his rights as a delegate, should he deem it proper to present himself to the Con vention, he says: “ It is my own deliber ate conviction, and the desire of friends whose wisdom and soundness of judgment and sincerity and purity of motives I may not question, there shall be no pretext even from any quarter for any question or dis turbing element in the Convention to mar its harmony or hinder in any way the re sults of the Constitution, the Union and public liberty which shall follow from its deliberations and its action. I hereby withdraw from the Ohio delegation, and drcline taking my seat in the Convention. I am profoundly conscious that the sanctity and magnitude and the interest involved in the present public canvass in the Uni ted States are too immense not to demand a sacrifice of every personal consideration in a struggle upon the issue of which de pends, as I solemnly believe, the present peace, and ultimately the exisience of a free republican Government on this con tinent.” In conclusion, he trusts that the pro ceedings will be harmonious, the action wise, and that the results will be crowned with triumph. The following dispateh was received from President Johnson: Washington, August 14. To Hons. 0. H. Browning and A. W.

The needle-gun is no doubt a wonder ful invention, but it would be better if all guns were needles*.-^A r cw York Mer i cury Andrew Johnson. August 16.—2 o’clock, p. m.—The and must not, therefore, be confounded with the still more Tiolent and incendia ry address made by him, about an hour subsequent, from the City Hall steps, to a colored crowd which followed the band of music from the Institute. The citi zen to whom we are indebted for the re port, which is appeuded, is willing to take oath if fit is necessary, that it con tains nothing but the truth: Dr. Dostie, in the course of bis re marks on Friday night, said : “I want the negroes to have the right of suffrage, and will give them the right to vote.-— There will be another meeting here to morrow night, and on Monday night I want you to come in your power. I want no cowards to come. I want only brave men to come who will stand by us, and we will stand by them. Come then in your power to that meeting, or never go to another political meeting in this State. We have 300,000 black men with white hearts. Also 100,000 good and true Union white men, who will fight for and beside the biack race, against the 300,- 000 hell-bound rebels, for now there are but two parties here. There are no Cop perheads now. Col. Field now making a speech inside, is heart and soul with us. He and others who would not a year ago speak to me, now take me by the hand. We are 400,000 to 300,000 and can not only whip but exterminate the other par ty. Judge Abell with his grand jury may indict us. Harry Hayes, with his posse commitatus. may be expected there, and the police with more than a thousand men sworn in, '„ay interfere with the Convention ; therefore let all brave men and not cowards, come here on Monday. There will be no such puerile affair as at Memphis, but if interfered with, the streets of New Orleans will run with blood ? The black race with *900,000,000 arc hound to rule the white race of 300,000,- 000. The rebels say they have submit ted and accept the situation, hut want you to do the work and they will do the voting; and will you throw over them “the mantle of charity and oblivion V* “We will!” “we will!” was the unani mous response of the excited throng, to which Dr. Dostie vehemently replied :— “No, by God ! we wont. We are bound to have universal suffrage though you have the traitor, Ad re w Johnson, against you,” &c., &c. [*We think the Doctor has made an error in his calculation.] In this and other speeches of like character lies the whole cause of the bloody and distressing scenes enacted on Monday last, upon the very spot where the inflammatory language was uttered. Had the leaders of the negro suffrage clique pursued a similar coarse to that of Mayor Monroe, and advised the colored people to keep away from the Convention, and carefully avoid collisions with their opponents, as the Mayor did the white citizens, all would have been well. Even had the ex-Convention members been ar rested by virtue of an order of the Court, it would then have been performed in a quiet and peaceable manner, and justice would have been done them, for had the District Court decided against them, it cannot certainly be charged that the Su preme Court wonld have been influenced by prejudice against the men or their principles. Bat the closer the affair is investigated, the clearer it becomes man ifest ihat a collision betweefi our citi zens and the negroes was a part of the Radical programme to wrest the govern ment of our State from its citizens. Speech from Senator Wilson.— Senator Wilson made a speech on public affairs last Tuesday night, at his home, in Natick, Massachusetts. He defended himself in moderate terms against the aspersions of Wendell Phillips, and con cerning general politics remarked: “The President having put the government of rebel States into rebel hands, is bringing to Lear the mighty power and patronage of the Government in support of his pol icy, and sending up and down the coan- ' all Govern- ;c : H AS NOW ON HAND AND TO ARRIVE a General Stock of nearly all the articles \ iu the line of Family Groceries and Plantation ; supplies consist iag. in part, as follows : 40 Boxes fine chewing Tobacco. 10 Boxes Candles, 15 Bbls.

P ROMPTED by a desire to benefit our coun try, and also to establish an important i fact in science, we have concluded to offer to j the public the above named remedies for the I cure and prevention of Hog Cholera. Medical ] gentlemen of skill and experience began a se ries of examinations when the cholera first began in this country; after having performed numerous post mortem examinations upon the bodies of hogs which had died of cholera, and after great research aud investigation to determine the nature of the disease, led by the lights arising therefrom, they undertook, the cure of the complaint by various remedies. They found several articles beneficial, but success was not fully attained to until the above named medicine was compounded. The medicine was not sought out for the purpose of sale, but the great success attending its use has induced them to form a company and obtain a Patent. We offer it as being, under the accompanying directions, fully capable of arresting any epidemic of hog cholera, and prompt in giving relief when properly admin istered. We confidently believe that tho rem edy is a specific; yet we do nor, recommend it as infallible in all cases, though we have never known it to fail, either as a cure or preventive against the further spread of the disease wheu used agreeably to tho directions, notwith standing those free from tho disease have been kept in close proximity with those diseased. It is a great Tonic, and will successfully remove Mange, Sore Head and Vermin, either of which will affect the health of the hog, and stop his growth and development. Nothing will make hogs so thrifty as this remedy. We offer no patent remedy for the cure of mac, bat we think that the public will esteem us a3 benefactors when they consider that we have, for years, been investigating the diseases of domestic animals, which form not only a part of the wealth of the country, but afford sus tenance to man. Allow us to add that hog cholera is but a mild disease when taken in its early stages with this remedy, which will also remove worms from the bowels, and if administered once a month by the directions, will forever prevent any injuries from the Tri china Spiralis, which produce such alarming symptoms in persons who eat trichinous pork.
