Washington, Ang. 21.—The call for a Convention of soldiers and sailors who indorse the policy of President Johnson, to meet at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 17th of September, lias been issued, signed and endorsed by Major Generals Frank P. Rousseau, Cook, Steedman, Sol Meriditli, Dix, Slocum and Sickles, and nearly one hundred general officers of the late Fed eral army, and as many more subordinate officers. The address declares it to be the duty of each State, as well as their right, to a participation in the Govern ment. And tho signers of the call be lieve that tho South is sincere in its declarations, and that they are unwilling that her people should be held in vassal- age, and that they cannot be denied rep resentation in Congress without plain violation of the Constitution.

Philadelphia, Aug. 10,13GG.—At a meeting of the National Li nion Executive Committee, held this day at Philadelphia, Aug. 16, 1SG6, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : ^ Resolved, That tho National LTnion Executive Committee earnestly recom mend to the friends of peace, Union, liberty, and law, in each county of the thirty-six States and nine Territories of the American Union, as early as practi cable, to hold mass meetings for the pur pose of ratifying the action of the Na tional Union Convention, and also to provide means to place its proceedings in the hands ol every citizen of the Repub lic.

Cotton Inspection Districts in Georgia.—The new Internal Revenue law requires the Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue to designate certain places in the cotton growing regions of the South where the Assessors and Collectors of Internal Revenue shall repair to in tal law, which is set aside in reckless obe dience to their behosts. Stability, wheth in the exercise of power, in the adminis tration of government or in the enjoy ment of righrs, becomes impossible, anil the conflict of party which, under consti tutional governments, are the conditions and means of political progress, arc mer ged in the conflicts of arms to which they directly and inevitably tend. It was against this peril so conspicuous and so fatal to all free governments that onr Constitution was intended to provide. Not only the stability but the very exis tence of the Government is made by its provisions to depend upon the right and the fact of representation. The Congress, upon which is conferred all the legislative power of the National Government, con sists of two, branches, the Senate and House of Representatives, whose joint 1 more than maintain it. It could only concurrence is essential to the validity of < vindicate and re-establish the disputed any law. Of these the House of Repre- j supremacy of the Constitution, It could sentatives, says the Constitution [article | neither enlarge nor diminish the the au- 1, sec. 2.] “shall be composed of members j thority which that Constitution con- chosen every second year by the people fers upon the Government by which it was achieved. Such an enlargement or abridgement of constitutional power right to enforce onr laws upon their people and to impose upon them such laws and such obligations as we might choose. But we had before the waf com plete jurisdiction over the soil of the Southern States, limited only by our own Constitution. Our laws were the only national laws in furee upon it. The Gov ernment of the United States was the only Government through which those States and their people had relations with foreign nations, and its flag was the only flag by which they were recognized or known anywhere on the face of the earth. In all these respects and in all other respects involving national interests and rights our possession was perfect and complete. It did not need to be acquired, but only to be maintained; and victorious war azainst the rebellion could do nothing >000 fine Sej 3 iloz Flasks, Two barrels fine Mac- Powder and Shot, caboy Snuff, of the several States.” Not only is the right of representation thus recognized as posssesed by all the States and by every State without restriction, qualification or condition of any kind, but the duty of choosing representatives is imposed upon the people of each and every State alike, without distinction or the authority to make distinction among them, for any reason or upon any grounds whatever. And in the Senate, so careful is the Con stitution to secure to every State the right of representation, it is expressly provided that “ no State shall, without its consent, be deprived of its equal suf frage,” in that body, even by the amend ment of the Constitution itself. When, therefore, any State is excluded from such representation, not only is a right of State denied, but the constitutional integ rity of the Senate is impaired, and the validity of the Government itself is brought in question. Hut Congress at the present moment thus excludes from representation in both branches of Con gress, ten States ol’ the Union, denying them all share iu the enactment of laws by which they are to he governed, and all participation in the electiou of the rulers by which those laws are to be en forced. Iu other words, a Congress in which only twenty-six States are repre sented asserts the right to govern, abso lutely and in its own discretion, all the thirty-six States which compose the Un ion—to make their laws and choose their rulers, and to exclude the other ten from all share in their own government until it sees fit to admit them thereto. What is there to distinguish the pow*er thus asserted and exercised from the most ab solute and intolerable tyranny ? Nor do these extravagant and unjust claims on the part of Congress to powers can be effected only by amendment of the Constitution itself, and such amend ment can be made only in the modes which the Constitution itself prescribes. The claim that the suppression of an in surrection against the Government gives additional authority and power to that Government, especially that it enlarges the jurisdiction of Congress and gives that body the right to exclude States from representation in the national councils, without which the nation itself can have no authority and no existence, seems to us at variance alike with the principles of tho Constitution and with the public safety. Third. Hut it is alleged that in certain particulars the Constitution of the United States fails to secure that absolute justice and impartial equality which the princi ples of our government require; that it was iu these respects the result of com promises aud concessions to which, how ever necessary when the Constitution was formed, we are no longer compelled^ sub mit, and that now, having the power through successful war and just warrant for its exercise iu the hostile conduct of the insurgent section, the actual Govern ment of the United States may impose its own conditions, and make the Constitu tion conform iu all its provisions, to its ideas of equality and the rights of man. Congress at its last session proposed amendments to the Constitution, enlarg ing in some very important particulars the authority of the General Government over that of the several States, and redu cing by indirect disfranchisement, the representative power of the States in which slavery formally existed ; and it is claimed that these amendments may be t bv the Constitution, to have been • )2.)

It is alledged : First. That these States, by the act of rebellion and by voluntary withdrawing their members from Congress, forfeited their right of representation, and that they can only receive it again at the bands of the supreme legislative authority of the Government on its own terms and at its own discretion. If representation in affected by them, or may be imposed upon those States by three-fourths of the remaining States, as conditions of their rc admission to representation in Congress and in the Electoral College. It is the unquestionable right of the people of tho United States to make such cliaugcs in the Constitution as they, upon due deliberation, appeiicucion existing facts. We do not hesitate to affirm that there is no section of the couutry where the Constitution and laws of the United States find a more prompt and entire obedience than in those States and among those people who were lately in arms against them; or where there is less purpose or danger of any <uture attempt to overthrow their authority. It would seem to be both natural and inevitable that, in States and sections so recently swept by the whirlwind of war, where all the ordinary modes and methods of organized industry have been broken up, and the bonds and influences that guarantee social order have bean destroyed—where thousands and tens of thousands of turbulent spirits have been suddenly loosed from the dis cipline of war, aud thrown without resour ces or restraint upon a disorganized and chaotic society, and where the keen sense of defeat is added to the overthrow of ambition and hope, scenes of violence should defy for a time the imperfect dis cipline of law, and excite anew the fears and forebodings of the patriotic and well disposed. It is unquestionably true that local disturbances of this kind, accompa nied by more or iess of violence, do still occur. Hut they are confined entirely to the cities and large towns of the Southern States, where different races and interests are brought more closely in contact, and where passions and reseutments are always most easily fed and fanned into outbreak ; and even there, they are quite as much the fruit of untimely and hurtful political agitation, as of hostility on the part of the people to the authority of the nation al Government. Hut the concurrent testimony of those best acquainted with the condition of so ciety and the state of public sentiment in the South—including that of its rep resentatives in this Convention—establish the fact that the great mass of the South ern people accept, with as full and sincere submission as do the people of the other States, the re-established supremacy of the national authority, and are prepared, in the most loyal spirit, aud with a zeal quickened alike by their interest and their pride, to co-operate with other States and sections in whatever may be necessary to defend the rights, maintain the honor and promote the welfare of our common country. History affords no instance where a people, so powerful in numbers, in resources and in public spirit, after a war so long in its duration, so destructive in its progress, and so adverse in its issue, have accepted defeat and its consequences with so much of good faith as has marked the conduct of the people lately in insur rection against the. United States. Be yond all question this has been largely due to the wise generosity with which 5 doz cans Oysters, Confectioneries ar.d Yankee Notions for 1000 bunches Facto- can assume, the States and people which engaged in the war against the Govern ment of the United States have suffered tenfold more than those who remained in allegiance to the Constitution and laws. These considerations may not, as they certainly do not, justify the action of the people of the insurgent States; but do just or generous mind will refuse to them a very considerable weight in determining the line of conduct which the Govern ment of the United States should pursue toward them. They accept, if not with alacrity, cer tainly without sullen resentment, the de feat and overthrow they have sustained. They acknowledge and acquiesce in the results, to themselves and the country, which defeat involves. They no longer claim for any State the right to secede from the Union ; they no longer assert for any State an allegiance paramount to that which is due to the General Gov ernment. They have accepted the de struction of slavery, abolished it by their State Constitutions, and concurred with the States and people of the whole Union in prohibiting its existence forever upon the soil or within the jurisdiction of the United States. They indicate and evince their purpose just so fast as may be pos sible and safe to adapt their domcstice laws to the changed condition of their society, and to secure by the law and its tribunals equal and impartial justice to all classes of their inhabitants. They admit the invalidity of all acts of resis tance to the national authority, and of all debts incurred in attempting its over throw. They avow their willingness to share the burdens and discharge the du ties and obligations which rest upon them, in common with other States and sections of the Union; and they renew, through their representatives in this Convention, by all their public conduct in every way and by the most solemn acts by which States and societies can pledge their faith, their engagement to bear true faith and allegiance, through all time to come, to the Constitution of the United States, and to all laws that may be made in pur suance thereof. Fellow-countrymen : We call upon you, in full reliance upon your intelligence and your patriotism, to accept, with gen erous and ungrudeing confidence, this full surrender on the part of those lately brother of W. Field, in an apology for the cable tariff charges, says: “ The chief reason which has deter mined the present tariff is the necessity of keeping it so high as to prevent an overcrowding of messages. If it were put low it is probable that more messages would be offered in twenty-four hours than could be sent in a week. The line would be choked up. As all would have to take their turn, messages handed in to day could not be sent till next week.— This would defeat the very object of a telegraph, which is an instant transmis sion of messages. In that case we may as well send letters by steamer.

No steps could have been better calcu lated to command the respect, win the confidence, revive the patriotism and se cure the permanent and affectionate alle giance of the people of the South to the Constitution and laws of the Union, than those which have been so firmly taken and so steadfastly pursued by the Presi dent of the U.
