New York, Aug. 17.—Rio Jancrio dates
or hasty note like the present.
This can Iks of no consequence
your readers, however, since you
represented here, as I am informed, by one of
the proprietors of the Telegraph, as well as
by an excellent correspondent.
Let mesay, then, briefly, that the Conven
tion opened to-day most auspiciously. The
Northern delegates appear to be actuated by
a fraternal spirit, and have met us in the most
cordial manner. In tbc conversations and
general deportment, they show a scrupulous
regard for the sensibilities of the South, and
seem disposed to avoid all refercnce to uu-
pleasant events in the past. ' They denounce
the Radicals more vehemently than we do,
and appear to be ready to fraternize with any
body who is opposed to them. Evidences of
the same feeling were not wanting in Now
York, and on the trains to this place. In
deed, I have found, wherever I have thus far
been, that my Confederate gray clothing and
flat hat are no discredit to me, and that peo
ple of all sorts make free to open conversa
tion with me on tbc strength of my outfit
The topic first broached is always of a politi
cal character, and has reference to the true
sentiments and real condition of the Southern
States. In no instance has a word been drop
ped in my hearing to which exception could
be taken. But then it aiust he remem
bered, that I have been thrown almost
entirely with commercial men, who
are generally conservative, and with del
egates to the Convention. We all know
that there arc thousands upon thousands of
people nil over the North who bate us infi
nitely worse than they do die old serpent
himself.
'Hie Convention opened at 12 o’clock to
day. When the South Carolina and Massa
chusetts delegations marched into the wig
wam arm in arm, the scene surpassed any
thing I ever witnessed. The delegates rose
simultaneously to their feet, and with the
thousands of spectators in the galleries, sent
up cheer after cheer, until it seemed as if the
very roof of the immense building would be
carried away by the tempest of applause.—
Cheers, shouts, cries, succeeded each other
with deafening rapidity. Cheers were given
for the Union, for the South, for the thirty-six
United States, and for Andrew Johnson.—
Men shook hands with each other, and in the
eyes of some I r.oticed a very perceptible
moisture.
After the cheering lind somewhat subsided
the band struck up “Hail Columbia” and
then •“Dixie”—and then my own eyes grew
dim; for the grand old air recalled .to my
mind the thousands I had seen go,forth to
battle, to the music of its inspiring strains,
never to return again. May angel hands
guardrthe .humble graves of our dead heroes
wherever they rest, and may Heaven give us
grace and faith to preserve their memories
forever! “ Dixie ” was received with hardly
less applause than the re-united delegations
from Massachusetts and South Carolina.
These apparently trifling incidents imme
diately hiokc down any remaining barriers
between the delegates from the North and
the South, and seemed to place it beyond the
power of any man to destroy the harmony
of the Convention or defeat the object tor
which it was called. From the moment of
the appearance ot the delegations from the
hitherto rival States ot the North and South,
I felt as if the action of the body ought to
be, and coukl be, harmonious and successful.

(Special to the Telegraph.)
Philadelphia, Aug. 10.—The Convention,
after a three day’s session, completed its la
bors and adjourned to-day sine die.
During the session to-day, • the wigwam
was crowded to excess, a very, large number
ot ladies being present and evincing the
greatest interest in the proceedings. The
C latform of principles agreed upon was read
y Mr. Cowan, Chairman of tlio Committee:
an address to the people wus read by Hon.
Henry J. Raymond, of New York. Both
documents were heartily cheered and unani
mously adopted. Perfect harmony and una
nimity prevailed.

further continued by the admirable address of
Gen. Dix, upon taking the chair os temporary
President of the body. This address left
nothing to be desired either in mntter or
manner, and was received with marked
favor by the delegates from nil parts of the
country. The action of Mr. Fernando
Wood, which it ia understood will
be followed by Sir. ValJnndigliani, has,
apparently, «nd' wc hope really, removed the
only obstacle to the harmonious action of the
Convention, and is in the highest degree hon

dial endorsement of what we. consider his
very just tribute to the greater portion of the
officers who have had command in tbe-State
of Georgia, and more especially , in this city.
The article referred to, and to which he takes
exception, has reference solely to the. Radical
party at the North and their mischievous
emissaries at the South. We mode no allu

proper of Georgia, and cannot see how our
remarks could have been so misconstrued as
to include them.—Ediss. Tel.
To the Editor* of the Telegraph:
Gentlemen: I have read your leader in this
morning's paper with mingled feelings of ap
probation und regret. It crazy bigots attempt
to stir up strife and bloodshod between the
white and black races, it will be the duty of
the United Stales Government as you proper
ly urge to interpose its authority to suppress
such diabolism. That there are in the Uni
ted States men of desperate character and
fortunes who will, if unrestrained, scatter “ar
rows, firebrands and death ” into the bosom
of pcaccftil communities, admits of no doubt.
Therefore, we agree in your earnest appeals
to the United States authorities to protect us
against their wicked machinations.
Tims far agreeing with the drift and spirit
of your leader, permit me respectfully to en
ter my caveat as to what is an unguarded,
disparagement of the Federal officials who
have 410100 sway in Georgia. My oliecrvn-
tisn lias been that most of these offi
cials Jiavo conducted themselves mod
erately and well. In the main .tlieir
desire lias been to protect rather than to
wrong. And especially may this be said of
the regular officers of the United States army.
Gens. Steedmon, Brannon, Croxton and
Dawson never seemed to lose eight of right
in the exercise of power. Gen. Tillson, at
Augusta, and Capt. Hill, at Macon, have cer
tainly commended themselves to our people
by their wise and prudent administrations.
Capt Cockran, during his short atay in Ma
con,did much to curb and restrain thoviolcnce
and outbreaks, that affected us whilst his pre
decessor was iu command.
And of the present officer, who has his
headquarters in Macon, Gen. Wood, our peo
ple must bear testimony that he is cool, cau
tious and circumspect. He seems earnestly
desirious of being right rather than being
Commandant His staff officers and assist
ants, and amongst them are men of all form
er political affiliations,aeem to be actuated by
the same spirit None of them, as far as my
observation has gone, assume to treat us as a
conquered ] "!>L*- Let us look to them for
protection and kindness. We will not be
disappointed: it.we are, it will he time
enough to complain. N.
(press despatch.)
Philadelphia, Aug. lGtb.—The Conven
tion met nt ten, and the Wigwam was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity. Half of the audi
ence are ladies.
Senator Cowan, from the Committee on
resolutions and address, presented a declara
tion of Principles, which was unanimously
and enthusiastically adopted. It declares
that the war just closed has maintained the
authority of the Constitution, and has pre
served the Union with the equal rights, dig
nity and authority of all the States perfect
and unimpaired—that representation in Con
gress and in the Electoral Colleges is a right
abiding in, and a duty imposed upon, every
ritatc, and that neither Congress nor the Gen
eral Government lias any authority or power
to deny the right to any State—that Congress
has no power over the Elective franchise, hut
that right belongs exclusively to each State
—that no State has the right to withdraw
from the Union—that on all Constitutional
amendments all the States have unequal right
io vote—that slavery is abolished, and for
ever prohibited—that the National debt, is
sacred and inviolable, and the Confederate
debt invalid. The resolutions recognize the
services of the Federal soldiers and sailors
and the debt due by the nation to them and
their widows and orphans, and endorse Presi
dent Johnson for his steadfast devotion to
the Constitution, laws, and interests of the
country.
The address was prepared by Mr. Raymond,
of New York, and was read by that gentle
man, and unanimously adopted. .
The National Committees, executive and
financial, were then announced.
president Doolittle’s address.
Mr. Doolittle said, in his opening address,
that the Convention was one of the greatest
events of our day; it was the first National
Convention in six years, and in the interim
there had been blood, agony and tears. Our
brothers had fallen and our resources been
was’ed on a thousand battle fields; but,
tlmnk God, the assurances here tell ns that
peace has come at last. If the people of the
whole country could see the fraternal feeling
here, there would he no struggle nt the polls
this fall. [Great applause.] But as the
whole people ennnot be here to witness what
is transpiring, the greater work rests on us.
From this time until the election of the next
Congress, we should be untiring in our exer
tions to see that tlir "«•«* tins one
on un continue to refuse this sacred right of
representation to equal S’ates, shall recognize
them. [Applause.] When that is done, the
Union will be restored, and when the Union
is restored, we shall he prepared to enter up
on a higher and nobler career among the na
tions of the earth than has ever yet been oc
cupied by any government upon which the
sun of heaven ever shone. [Applause.]

New York, Aug. 17.—An Ottowa special

There were ten deaths from cholera yester
day.
Philadelphia, Aug. 17.—Many of the del
egates to the Convention left last evening;
the balance leave to-day. . The proceedings
throughout were most harmonious. Not a
single event occurred to mar good feeling.
The address, but not the resolutions, was
written by Henry J. Raymond. It is merely
the resolutions elaborated. During its read
ing, for a time, almost breathless silence pre
vailed. The President requested the dele
gates and spectators to manifest no sign of
approval, or to make other demonstrations
until the reading was completed. This re
quest secured quiet until the sp-akcr
arrived at the iollowing paragraph : “And
the ten millions of Americans who live in
the South would he unworthy citizens of a
free commonwealth, degenerate sons of an
heroic aftcestry, unfit ever to become guardi
ans of the rights and principles bequeathed
us by the fathers and founders of the repub
lic, if they could accept with uncomplaining
submission tbe humiliation sought to be im
posed upon them.” The entire audience then
broke forth in unrestrained bursts of applause,
which lasted for several minutes. At the con
clusion of this enthusiasm, a demand was
made that the paragraph quoted be read over
again, which was assented to, and again the
applause broke forth with redoubled effect.
The Press Club gave a splendid banquet to
the members of the press, last night, at which
Radicals and Southerners fraternized, und

uate disunion, aid make a disruption of
States inevitable. Instead tft promoting re
conciliation and Urniony, its legislation has
partaken of the clfiracter 'of penalties, ratal
iation and revenge; This has been tlie course
and the policy of Ine portion of your gov
ernment. Tbe bundle individual who is now
addressing you staids the representative of
another department of government. The
manner in which he vas called upon to occu
py that position, I sUll not allude to, on this
occasion. Suffice it o say, that lie is here
under the Constitution of the country, and,
being here by vftue of its provis
ions, he takes his st|tid upon that charter
of our liberties, a§ the great rampart
of civil and religous liberty. [Pro
longed cheers.] Hiving been taught
in my early life to toll it sacred, and having
practiced upon it Ruling mi whole public
career, I shall ever oatinue to reverence the
constitution of my fathers and make it my
guide.” (Hearty apfliuse.)
The President thenproceeded, and denied
the charge that he kal ever been tyrannical
or a despot, hut said, “Such charges were
simply intended to dbeive and delude-the
public mind into tbe belief that there are
some in power who areusurping and tram
pling upon the rfghts oi constitution. It is
done by those who naUc such charges for
the purpose of covering their own acts—
(that’s so and apploise). I have felt it my
duty, in vindicatior of principle and of the
constitution of my Country, to call tbc atten
tion of my coujtrymen to the proceed
ings. When wj came to examine who
baa been playing the tyrant, by whom
do we find despotism exercised ? As to my
self, tbc elenunts of my nature and the pur
suits of my He have not made me, in either
my feelings or in my practice, oppressive.—
My nature, on the coitrary, is rather defen
sive in its character, hut I must say that,
haring taken my stand Ipon the broad prin
ciples of liberty and the Constitution there is
not power enough on earr-j to drive me from
it. [Loud and prolonged applause.] Hav
ing placed myself upon tbit broad platform,
I have not been awed nor dismayed nor in
timidated, by either threits or encroach
ments, but have stood there, 1 in conjunction
with patriotic spirits, sounding the tocsin of
alarm, when I deemed the Citadel of Liberty
in danger. [Great applaui.] I said, on a
previous occasion, and npcat now, that all
that was necessary in tlis great struggle
against tyranny and despc ism, was that the
struggle should be sufficie: tly audible for the
American people to ben and properly un
derstand. They did hear ind are now look
ing on, and they see who tie contestants were
and what tbe struggle was about, and they
determined that they woild settle this ques
tion on the side of the Constitution and of
Constitutional principles. I proclaim here
to-day, as I have on previous occasions, that
my faith is in the great mass of the people.—
In the darkest hour of this struggle, when
the clouds seemed to he most lowering, my
faith, instead of giving way, loomed up
through the cloud, beyond which I saw that
all would be well in the end. My country
men, we all know that tyrannies and despo
tism, in the language of Thomt-s Jefferson,
can he exercised and exerted more effectually
by tlie many, than by the one. We have seen
a Congress gradually encroach, step by
step, . and violate, day after day and
month after month, Constitutional rights
and the fundamental principles of the Gov
eminent.
We have seen a Congress that seemed to
forget that there was a limit to the sphere and
scope of legislation; we have seen a Congress,
in a minority, assume to exercise power which,
if allowed to be carried out, would result in
despotism or anarchy itself. This is truth,
and because others, as well ns myself, have
seen proper to appeal to the patriotism and
republican feeling ot the countiy, we have
been denounced in the severest terms. Slan
der upon slander, vituperation upon vitupera
tion, of the most villainous character, has
made its way through the press. What, gen
tlemen, has been your and my sin ? What
has been the cause of our offending? I will
tell you. It is daring to stand by the Const!
tution of our fathers. I consider the pro
ceedings of this Convention, sir, as more im
portant than those of any Convention that
ever assembled in tlie United States. [Great
applause.] When I look with my mind’s eye
upon that collection of citizens coming to
gctlier voluntarily and sitting in council, with
ideas, with principles and views commensu
rate with all the States and co-cxtensive with
the whole people, and contrast it with the
collection of persons who are trying to destroy
the country, I regard it as more important
than any Convention that has sat at least since
1787. [Renewed applause.] I think I may
also say that the declarations that were there
made are equal to the Declaration of Inde
pendence itself. And I here, to-day, pro
nounce them a second Declaration of Inde
pendence. [Cries of glorious! and most
enthusiastic and prolonged applause.] Your
address and declarations arc nothing
more nor less than a reaffirmation of the Con
stitution of the United States. Yes, I will go
farther, and say that the declarations you
have enunciated in your address are a sec
ond Proclamation of Emancipation to the
people of the United States, (renewed ap
plause) for, in proclaiming and reproclaim
ing these great truths, you have laid down a
constitutional platform upon which ail can
make common cause and stand united togeth
er for the restoration of the States and of the
preservation of the Government, without
reference to party. The question is only the
salvation of the country, tor our country rises
above all party consideration and influence.
How many are there now in the United States
that now require to be free ? They have the
shackles upon their limbs, and arc hound as
rigidly as though they were in fact in slavery.
I repeat, then, that your declaration is the
second Proclamation cf Emancipation to tlie
people of the United States, and offers a
common ground upon which all patriots can
stand. (Applause.) Mr. Chairman and
gentlemen, let me, in this Connection, ask
what have I to gain more than the ad
vancement of the public welfare i I am as
much opposed to the indulgence of egot
ism as any. But here, in a conversational
manner, while formally receiving the pro
ceedings of this Convention, I may be per
mitted again to ask what have I to gain, con
suiting human ambition, more than I have
gained ? Except one thing, my race is nearly
run. I have been placed in the high office
which I occupy, under the Constitution of
the country, and may say that I have held
from the lowest to highest, almost every po
sition to which a man may attain in onr Gov
eminent, and surely gentlemen this should be
enough to gratify a reasonable ambition.
I wanted authority, or if I wished to perpet
uate my own power how easy it would
have been to hold and wield that
which was placed in my hands by
the measure called the Freedman’s Bureau
bill, [laughter and applause] With an army
wliich it placed at my discretion, I could
have remained at the capital of the nation,
and, with fifty or seventy millions of appro
priations at my disposal, with the machinery
to he worked by my satraps and dependents
in every town and village, and then with the
Civil Rights bill following as an auxiliary,
[laughter] in connection with all the other
appliances < f the government, I could have
proclaimed myself dictator. But, gentlemen
my pride and my ambition have been to oc
cupy that position which retains all power in
the hands of the people. It is upon that I
have always relied. It is upon that I rely
now, and I repeat that neither the taunts nor
the jeers of Congress, nor of a subsidized, cul
minating press, can drive me from my pur
pose. [Great applause.] I acknowledge no
superior except my God, the author of my
existence, and the people ot the United Sates.
[Prolonged and enthusiastic cheers.] For the
one, I try to obey all Bis commands as best I
can, compatibly with my poor humanity.
For the other, in a political and representa
tive sense, the high behests of the people
have always been respected and obeyed by
me. [Applause.]
Mr. Chairman, I have said more than I had
intended to say. For the kind allusion to my
self contained in your address, and in the
resolutions adopted by the Convention, let
me remark, that, in this crisis, and at tlie
present period of my public life, I hold
above all price, and shall ever recur with
feelings of profound gratification to the last
resolution containing tlie endorsement of a
Convention emanating spontaneously from
the great mass of the people. I trust and
hope that my future action may be such that
you and the Convention you represent may
not regret tbe assurance of confidence you
have expressed before separating. My friends,
one and all, please accept my sincere thanks
for the kind manifestations of regard and res
pcct you have exhibited on this occasion. I
repeat that I shall always continue to be
guided by a conscientious conviction of duty,
and that always gives one courage, under the
Constitution which I have made my guide.
At the conclusion of the President's remarks,
three enthusiastic cheers were given for An
drew Johnson, and three more for Gen. Grant.
The President then took a position near the
door opening into the Hall, with Gen. Grant
by liis side, where os the gentlemen of the
Committee and members of the Convention
passed out, he grasped each by tbe hand and
had a smile or a cheering word for all, after
which they passed on to take Gen. Grant by
the hand.
