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.

ing office, do it like the Democratic party
in this county did the Whigs in past
years, and the Whig party in other coun
ties did the Democrats. 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.

and must not, therefore, be confounded
with the still more Tiolent and incendia

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

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

Senator Cowan, from the Committee
on Resolutions and Address, presented a
declaration of principles, which was unan

the equal rights, dignity and authority of; ment offi c | a ia everywhere, to go into a
all the States perfect and unimpaired; j conv e n tiou at Philadelphia, with traitors
the representation in Congress, and in ; an d rebel sympathizers, and those men of
the Electoral Colleges, is a right abiding
in, and a duty imposed upon, every State,
and that neither Congress nor the Gene
ral Government have any authority or
power to deny the right to any State;
that Congress has no power over the elec
tive franchise, but that right belongs ex
clusively to each State; that no State has
the right to withdraw from the Union;
that on all constitutional amendments all
the States have an equal right to vote;
that slavery is abolished and forever pro
hibited ; that the national debt is sacred,
and the Confederate debt invalid; that
the North, who, throughout the war, gave
their influence to the rebellion. We
stand opposed to^his policy. We cannot
stand by the graves of three hundred
thousand of our dead sons and put the
Gorernment into the hands of the men
who murdered them. The people will
not do it.”

LOSS
By Portland Fire, July 4th,
The total amount covered by AJtna Policies
on property destroyed or damaged is $206,854,
on which salvage will be about 5 per cent.—
Our total loss will not vary much from $200,-
000, and is being promptly adjusted and paid.
This sum is 5 per cent, upon the a3set3, a fig
ure but slightly exceeding our Government
and State Taxes^ paid laat y«ar, or a propor
tion of $5,000 loss for a company of $100,000
assets.
The necessity for insurance and the value of
wealthy, strong corporations, is forcibly illus
trated by this fire. Several weak Insurance
Companies are destroyed. Portland ha3 a
population of 35,000; was handsomely built,
mostly fine brick or stone structures—protect
ed and screened by upwards of 3000 shade
t ree3 bounded on three sides by water—in
deed. literally, almost rising from the ocean—
and with a good steam fire department—yet it
has $10,000,000 of property consumed in a
few hours—upon a holiday when its people
are least occupied — from the insignificant
cause of a contemptible fire cracker.
Remember the trifling origin of fires that
sweep away ia a few hoars the earnings of
years. Consider your best interests and give
the A3:na agent a call if you need proper In
surance security. Policies issued at fair terms.

HOG CHOLERA CTJRE AND
PREVENTIVE.
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.
Thousands of applications have been made to
the Patent Office Department of the United
States, in behalf of remedies to cure Hog
Cholera, but we, alone, have been able to pro-
sent the unquestionable testimony necessary
to procure the Patent now in our possession,
securing to us the right to compound and sell
this invaluable remedy.
Dr. H. Marshall- is having these remedies
prepared under his own supervision.

The Greatest Discovery of the Age t
The Suffering Public will be glad to know that
Gr. W. Croft’s “ Eureka Oil”
H AS been wrested from oblirion by a
company of philanthropic gentlemen,
and at an immense outlay of capital has again
been placed before the people. We do not
claim it to be a cure-all, like some of the nos
trums of the day are said to be; but wo do
say that it possesses advantages over any oth
er known compound for the cure of Inflamma
tory and Ulcerative diseases, and as an Alle
viator of Pain. It will not only alleviate, bur
it will cure a vast majority of the following
diseases, such as Inflammation and Ulceration
of the Mouth, Throat, Stomach and Bowels,
Colic of all kind, Dysentery (or Flux), Diarrhoea,
“ Piles,” Diptheria, fnflammatory Rheumatism.;
and is also ap invaluable remedy for Neuralgia,
Ulcers of anq kind, (not malignant,) Eruptions,
Bums. Scalds, Bruises, Cuts, Bone-Fellons, Swol
len Glands, Sore Eyes, Ear and Tooth Aches,
Spinal Affections, $c, And in Coughs we chal
lenge the world for its equal. Ordinary coughs
it will cure, In Pulmonory Consumption,
Asthma and Bronchitis it is the best palliative
known!
The Superintendent of this Company is a
graduate of the Medical College of Nashville ;
and from long experience in hi3 profession,
and a good knowledge of chemistry, he has
been intrn3ted with the selection of chemicals
for the manufacture of the medicine, and has
been and will be careful to select the very
finest materials to be found in either foreign or
home markets, and we are satisfied that tba
article we are now patting np excels any for
mer article of the same kind for purity of
chemicals, and most be more efficacious.
We place the “Eureka Oil” before the
world, and upon its merits or demerits it mu3t
rise or fall. Bat we know if the people will
try it, they will be more than satisfied.
For 3ale by all the principal Druggists eve-
where throughout the country. Compounded
by G. W. Croft, the original manufacturer, for
