At tire l’enusylvan)* Union Convention at
Hun' burg, twelve resolutions were adopted;
thanking tho soldier? and sailors ; honoring

ing support to Andrew Johnson; declaring in
favor of confiscation of the property of rebels,
ivid for protection to heme labor; reaffirming
the Monroe doctrine; recommending payment
of bounties to all soldiers honorably discharg
ed a debt of public gratitude to
Secretary Stanton and his associates, also to
Goyernor Curtin ; recognizing the claims of
citizen soldiers to special regard in the making
ot nominations; and di mounciu” the leaders of
the Democratic party for constant hostility to
the Government during the rebellion. The
third and fourth resolutions, relating to recon
est uctiou, say that the mild and generous
method of reconstruction offered by the Presi
dent, to the people latoly iu rebellion having
fulled, they causefc sgfely be intrusted with
!he political lights which’ they forioited until
they have proven their acceptance of the re
suits of the war ; and {hat the rebellious States
should therefore bo bed in subj ction, and the
laws which are to govern them be referred to
the law- making power of the n ition, to whom
it legitimately belongs. ,3 4n amendment to
the resolutions, offered by General Todd, pro

MORE PARTICULARS IN REGARD TO

ecutive clemency, aer duty reccommended
aud forwarded to tho President for his action.
It is said, oq the afflporlty of an officer of the
State Department, that the signature of the
President has been affixed to not less than lone
j'housand of the applications for pardon. Tho
number daily announced as pardoned are Bim
ply the names of those recommended and for
warded from the office ot the Attorney General.
The President, has exercised the ffim. Rt cau
tion and discretion in the matter of pardons,
and has invariably rejected all applications nn
less good and sufficient reasons were produced
to show the necessity for Executive clemency.

persons have been accepting money for their
influence iff obtaining pardons. He stated to

his clemency.

call sgain for further consideration, to which

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.
The Dopaitment of Agriculture has just com
pleted its tables, showing the condition of
crops on the first day of August, as reported
by its correspondents, atthat time. The har
vest ha%not been secured, but from Correspon
dence since then, it is believed that the wheat
crop had not received adduional injury, ex
cepting, perhaps, iu Wisconsin and Minnesota,
where rains have extended since the first of
August.
The Department has issued another circular,
w hich will bo returned on the Ist day of Sep
tember, renewing its Inquiries relative to the
wheat and other crops; also, as to the amount
of old wheat in the country. When this circu
lar shall bo received, information will be more
definite and complete, but it is believed the
deficit-will not be less than now reported.
The table formed on the August circulars shows
Ihe following decrease oi the crops of 1865
from those of 1864 : crops of 1864, bushels,
165,095,823; estimates for 1865, bushels, 134
451,1*25. Decrease, 20,241,698. The loss is
as follows :
In Nev r England and the middle States, 657,-
383 In Maryland and Delaware, 1,719,575.
In the western and northwest States, 23,864,-
744. Total, 26,241,698, AU other crops,
particularly corn and potatoes, are most prom
ising, except_tobacco, of which considerable
less has been'planted. Tie oat crop is very
large and the hay crop in the West is much
injured by the wet weather, but is still abun
dant. The above ia published by authority
of Isaac Newton, Commissioner of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
SPEECH OF SECRETARY HARLAN.
In response to a serenade in Washington on
the evening of August 17, Secretary Harlan
made the annexed speech: I have no doubt
that nothing bat feelings of friendship for me
can account for the presence of a greater num
ber of vou hear to-nigr t. If any are prompt
ed by any other motives, I do not doubt that
it is on account of the respect Tor the Govern
ment which now dominates over our . entire
and common country, and for the Administra
tion that is now enforcing the law of the
Republic from Maine to California, and from
Minnesota to Texas. Probably I may be in
debted for this compliment on account of my
connection with this Administration.
You most not expect to-night to dotelope
w bat will be in the future of the individual
elected to the hieh position in the gift of the
American people. No one is authorized to
6peak for him but himself, and I .doubt very
much if he now knows what will be the policy
which be will be compelled, by circumstances,
to follow in the future. We may, however,
judge from the future of hia official acts in the
past
I know a large portion of the American peo
ple feel a deep solicitude ou the subject of the
probab'e success of his Administration, and
there arc those who are enemies of this Admin
istration, as they were of that of bis predeces
sor, who are anxions to array against him those
by whose votes ha was elevated to his present
position. Many, 1 doubt not, have much soli
citude on this subject.
Some may tear that now that he has been
elevated to a place of power, he may turn
against those who elected h : m, and those who
we fear known but little of the man they have
thus honored by their votes. I would ask
those who had fears upon this subject, was he
not nominated by the same convention that
nominated the lamented Lincoln ? Did ho not
accept the nomination and place himself volun
tarily on the same platform? Was he not
elected to the second place by the same who
elected Abraham Lincoln to the first, and af
ter succeeding to the chatT made vacant by the
foul act of assassination, was uot his first act a
notice to the cabinet officers of his predecessor
that he desired a continuance of their services,
and have they not continued, each with his ac
customod portfolio, with the solitary excep
tion, and that change made in pursuance
of an arrangement made by his predecessor ?
Did not he, whoa the time came, reiterate
the Proclamation of Emancipation which had
been issued by his predecessor, and distinctly
inform the leaders of the rebellion that they
uyust accept, as one of the results of tho terri
ble struggle through which we had passed, that
slavery can not hereafter exist in the United
States.
Has he ever faltered in the declaration that
the rebellion is a great crime and those who
perpetrated it must suffer tho penalty of the
law, unless they apply to the Executive for
clemency ? What act of President Johnson
differs from those of his predecessor in any
point of view ? Does any one suggest the policy
for the restoration of the Southern States ?
When he came into office, seven States previ
ously in rebellion, had been entirely or par
tially reorganised by his predecessor, to-wit
Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Tennessee,
Louisiana and Texas. lam reminded that I
may include the State of Maryland also.
I believe, however, that the latter State was
proforma out of the Unicu. In what, may 1
ask, does the plan President Johnson now pre
fers to the Cavolinaa, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama and Mississippi, differ from that applied
to other States by President Lincoln J Can
any name any orjo important difference be
tween the classes ? I apprehend not.
Now, may I inquire of the friends of the
late President—those who thought his policy
good enough, what cause have they 4q com
plain pi the policy of President Johnson?
Does any one believe that if President Lincoln
occupied the chair his own policy would be
changed by himself without a notorial change
of cirpuipstances ? If not, who has the right to
complain of his successor ?
We may have our opinions on collateral
questions which arose, and which may arise,
but we had these differences of opinion while
President Lincoln occupied the chair. If they
were not then a bufficient cause for sundering
the Union, party, and, as a result, suffering the
oountry to be destroyed, aro.they now a suffi
cient cause to permit this party to go to pieces
and theppuatry to riffn, as a consequence?
The party has now the great responsibility
irpposed upon if to keep Its columns intact and
its men massed until the disorganiz id States
are recrgan’aod, and a feeling of friendship
and unity is restored throughout our whole
country. If, then, we, as Union meD, have no
cause to complain of tho President for aay
thing which we could qo.t allege with equal
force against his predecessor, let us see that
we give him no cause to break with us. Allow
me, in retiring, to thauk you for the honor of
this call.

New York Drv Goods Market—Aug 19.
The weakness of cotton goods in first hands
has shown itself in a positive decline of some
staple lines of goods. AmoDg the jobbers,
ho we /or, there has been considerable activity,
and it is likely that now, the agents having
met the views as to prices, there will be an im
proveme it in business at first hands. The ex
citement in Wall street ha 9 but remotely af
fected the dry goods market. The trade is
now so little dependent upon credit that any
interruption of discounting operations is ol
slight consequence to dry goods merchants, la
New England the cotton mills are extending
operations as fast as their supply of hands will
permit. Some of the larger corporations have
agents in Lancashire, England, for procuring
operatives. The supply in this country is in
adequate. We hear of large new cotton facto
ries being projected, one requiring an outlay
of $1,250,000.
Brown sheetings are inactive. Jobbers buy
cautiously. The prices are heavy, and from £
to 2c lower. Fine grade.-, are scarce and firm.
We quote as agents’ prices, for 4 4 Granite
ville, 28c ; \ do, 26c- 4 4 Augusta Factory,
80c ; £ do, 27c. Bleached shirtings, flue
goods, continue scarce and firm, some being
sold ahead, low qualities are plenty and a
shade lower.
Corset Jeans quiet, pricea steady. Canfoa
Flannels are increasing in supply. The demand
is steady. Fine goods ara rather scarce.
Printing cloths are in less demand. Holders
are less confident. Pricea are la2e lower.—
Standards, 64 by 64 are quoted at 11c for pre
sent delivery.
In prints the agents have yielded about lc
per yard. Jobbers are buying quietly. The
stocks are not lyge, and the agents seem con
fident in maintaining the present quotations.
The prices range from 24 to 31c according to
quality.
The demand in De Laines is active. The
assortment in first hands is much broken,
Pacific, 32£c; Hamilton, 42£c; Manchester,
32£c; Lowell, 32£c. Woolen sbawls in active
demand, especially for leading brands. Prices
continue at the quotations given last week.
The demand for woolen goods is very active
for clothing fabrics. Kentucky jeans are
wanted for the Southern market, and the stock
’8 very light. Fiaunsls continue active. Plain
and twill blankets aio soiling freely at full
prices.
Carpets arc very active and the stock light.
The foreign goods 'trade among importers
continues upou the whole active, though the
large sales of dress goods at auction have
eonoyvhat diverted buyers from store pur
chases. Desirable styles of woven dress goods
are in 1 risk dun md. There appeals, how
ever, to be an over supply of pi ink'd stylos.
Pi am dress fabrics aro in good demand anfl

a liberal .-cate, yet and not a; pear likely to ex

The prices obi lined at a sale of leaf tobacco
ill this city VI hiy ; jA, r lugs, S4O; for leaf.
$59, s6l, vi t, S7B, slOl The tact that almost
no tobacco i now gem i g in this Sjtat * for mar
ket is beg: -ring m t\i up m prices, especially
as the same con lkion ot things is understood
to exist in North Carolina. In these two States
theliacst m:mu. a ; uiiug tobacco of the world
Las been hi ret tore , roinc?d. Very little was
planted I . t spring, and the interruption of in
dustry thath s ioliowid has prevented proper
attention to t at little. Considerable ■ h eks of
old tobacco are on some of it three or
four years oid, and more or less injured by the
Casualties to which it is Fiil j ;ot. It, is serious
ly doubted by many whether tho radical
change that has taken place in agricultural
labor, will not give such cow directions to ag
riculture itself us to extinguish substantially
the raising ot this hitherto leading staple of
Virginia, There cun be no doubt, we think,
that there will bo mo t material diminution
in its production. Toe anticipation of this re
sult is doubtless an elciu. at in tho calculation
that justifies the giving of such prices as wo
have quoted. ®
The tv’esici u crop, which, compared in quali
ty with the Virgin;* ami North Carolina pro
duct, is about as Sural-to Sn Island cotton, is
also represent 3 to u i quite unpromising.
Kentucky papers say that, lrom reliable infor
mation Lorn various so. dons of the State, it
has been ascertained that the growing crop of
tobacco will be far i,- , then that of last year,
both in quality and quantity. In the morn
southern peril..ms of rim State, and in Tennes
see, what is denominated us Cl&rksvillo leaf Is
equally short, the impression prevailing that
the yield wilt not much exceed half the usual
average.. A letter from Todd county, Ky.,
from an intelligent observer, who ismot a to
bacco grower or buyer, states the result of hia
investigation that, under the most favorable*
circumstanc■ s, » two-thirds crop, as compared
wd'u last yer.r, will not be grown this year in
toat Whole region. With late planting and the
hazards of early frosts, that estimate is very
[ liable to fail short.
The tobacco famine foreshadowed by these
facts will doubtless cause prices to rule high.—

UiMlon Bvot natl Market.
Business of the past week has been very ac
tive, and the number cf cases shipped com
pares favorably with previous dates, and would
be much larger were the goods at hand for de
livery. The demand for the past four weexs
has exceeded the expecintiona ot dealers gen
erally. By comparison for the past lour weeks,
w;th last year’s shipments for the same time,
we find the number of cases is 109,106 against
56,073 last year, showing an increase of 52,028
cases, and there is every prospect lor a contin
ued good trade through tho fall months.—
Manufacturers a; c having abetter business at
present than lor tho past five years, ami Lava
large orders on h ind that will employ them
for some time to come. Prices are firm with a
tendency upward, as lbs? present production
faßs short of the demand. Western orders
have been larger than usual this year. Tho
demand for California is tight; wo noto 138
cases to San Francisco via New York. To
Southern citios 1,200 ca;;es. The buyers from
the South do not purchase ns hugely as in
times past, but. the demand is constantly in
creasing, as public affairs become settled and
the productions of shat section come to hand.
