(Loud applause.) 1 think mar also say list the declarations that were there made are equal :visa ~he Declaration of Independence Itself, and hen:, to-dc 'renounce it a second Declaration o - En dependence. (Cries of " Gloi:ous !" and most enthusias fe and prolonged applause.) You: address and declarations aro nothing more nor less thar a re-affirmation of the constitu tion of the United States. (Cries of "6 ood"and cheers.) Yes I will go further, and say that the declarations you hav e made, that the ?rinciples you have enunciated in your ad dress, are. - second proclamation o emancipation to the people of the United Staces—(renewecl applause)—for in proclaiming an repreclaiming these great truths you have laid down r constitutiona! platform upon which all can make common cause, ani itanc together for the restoration of the Sides and_ the preservation of the Government, withou', reference to party. (Cheers.) The question only is the salvation c: :.he country, for our country rises above all party considerations or influences. (Cries of " Good," and cheers.) How many are in the United States that now require to be free—that have the shackles upon their limbs, and are bound as rigidly as though they were, in fact, in slavery? repeat, then, that your declaration is the se cond proclamation of emancipation to the ?eople of the United states, and offers a common ground upon which all patriots can stand. (Loud cheers.) 'lr. Chairman and gentlemen, 'et me in this connection ask you what lave ( to gain more than the advancement of the public welfare 7 I am as much opposed to the indulgence of egotism as any one ; but here, in a conversational manner, while 7ormally receiving the proceedings of this convention, may be per mitted to ask " What - lave to gain, consulting human ambition, more than have gained, except in one thing ?" My race is nearly run. i have been placed in the high office which occupy under the constitution of the country, and nay say thaL have hold, from lowest to highest, almost every position to which a man may attain in our Govern ment. I have passed through every position—from an al derman of a village to the presidency of the United States— and surely, gentlemen, this should be enough to gratify a reasonable ambition. If I wanted authority, or if I wished to perpetuate my own power, how easy it would have been to hold and wield that which was placed in my hands by the measures called the " Freedmen's Bureau Bill." (Laughter and applause.) With an army which it placed at my dis cretion I could have remained at the capital of the nation ; and with its fifty or sixty millions of appropriations at my disposal, with the machinery to be worked by my own hands, with 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 of the Government, I could have proclaimed myself Dictator! (" That's true," and " Three cheers for the President.") But, gentlemen, my pride and my ambition have been to occupy that position which retains all power in the hands of the people. (Cheering.) It is upon that I have always relied—it is upon that I rely now. (A Voice—" And the people will, not disappoint you.") And 1 repeat that neither the taunts nor jeers of Congress, nor of a subsidised calumniating press, can drive me from my purpose. (Great applause.) I acknowledge no superior except my God, the author of my existence, and the people of the United States. (Prolonged and enthusiastic cheering.) For the one, I try to obey all His commands as best I can compatible with my poor humanity—for the other, in a political and representative sense, the high behests of the people have always been respected arid obeyed by me. (Loud cheers.) Mr Chairman, I have said more than I intended to say. For the kind allusion to myself contained in your address and in the resolutions adopted by the Convention, let me remark that in this crisis, and at the period of my public life, I hold above all price, and shall ever recur with feelings of profound gratifica tion to the last resolution containing the endorsement of a Convention emanating spontaneously from the great mass of the people. (Loud cheers.) I trust and hope that my future action may be such that you and the Convention may not regret the assurance of confidence you have ex pressed in . me. (Cries of "We are sure of it.") Before separating, my friends, one and all, committee and strangers, please accept my sincere thanks for the kind manifestation of regard and respect you have exhibited on this occasion. I repeat I shall always continue to be guided by a firm and conscientious conviction of duty—and that always gives one courage—under the constitution which I make my guide. On the conclusion of his speech three cheers were given for the President and three more equally earnest for Gen Grant. The President and his suite then withdrew to the door leading into the main hall of the mansion, where he. stopped, Gen. Grant standing on his left, and the members of the Cabinet extending the line to the left of Gen. Grant. The members of the committee then passed in front of the distinguished party,and were presented in turn to both the President and Gen. Grant. Following the committee the delegates who were present were introduced and the swarm of citizens. A vigorous hand-shaking for upwards of-an hour ensued—many who had not been able to get into the east-room during the speech-making finding their way in at the front door as the crowd filed out through the main hall, and thus improving the occasion to pay their respects 1 :o their President.

Important Speech of President Johnson. The following is a report of the speech delivered by President Johnson to the.co mitteeof the Phi- ladelphia Convention: — Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen the Committee,—Lan guage is inadequate to express th e , emotions and feelings ~, .., 7 - produced by this occasion. Perhaps I could express more by permitting silence to speak and you to infer what T ought to say. _ I confess that, notwithstanding the experi- ence I have had in public life and the audiences I have addressed, this occasion and this assemblage are well cal culated to awe and to overwhelm me. As I have said, I have not language to convey adequately my present feel- ings and emotions. In listening to the address which your eloquent and distinguished chairman has just delivered the proceedings of the convention as they transpired recurred to my mind. Seemingly I partook o: the inspiration that prevailed in the convention when I received a despatch sent by two of its distinguished members conveying in terms the scene which has just been described of South Carolina and Massachusetts, arm and arm marching into that vast assemblage, and thus giving evidence that the two extremes had come together, and that for the future they were united as they had been in the past for the preservation of the Union. When the despatch informed me that in that vast body of men, distinguished for intellect d N'Vciesdeo,m I o every i eye was suffused with t ears on b e holding the n n i not finish reading the d es p a t c h t o one aasso ciated with me in the office, for my own fe e li ngs overca me me. s (,ahTerS.) I think we may justly conclude we are moving undefaproper inspiration, and that we need not be mistaken that the finger of an overruling and unerring Pro 4 gdence is in this matter. (Loud cheers.) The nation is in peril. We have just passed through a mighty, a bloody, a mo mentous ordeal, yet we do not find ourselves free from the difficulties and dangers that at first surrounded us. While our brave men have performed their duties, both officers and men—(turning to General Grant, who stood at his right)—while they have- *du laurels imperishable, there are still greater and more important duties:to porform ; and while we have had their co-operation in the field, we now need their support in our efforts to perpetuate peace. (Loud cheers.) So far as the Executive Department of the Golfernmeut is concerned the effort has been made to re- store the Union, to heal the breach, to pour oil into the wounds which were consequent upon the struggle, and to speak in common phrase, to prepare, as the learned and wise physician would, a plaster healing in character and co-extensive with tho wound. (Loud cheers.) We thought, and yet think, that we had partially succeeded ; but as the work progressed, as reconciliation seemed to bo taking place and the country becoming united, we found a disturbing and marring element opposing us. In al luding to that element I shall go no further than did your convention and the distinguished gentleman who has delivered to me the report of its proceedings. I shall make no reference to it that I do not believe the time and the occasion justify. We have witnessed in one department of the Government every effort, as it were, to prevent the restoration of peace and harmony in the Union. We have seen hanging upon the verge of the Go vernment, as it were, a body called, or which assumed to be, the Congress of the United States, but in fact a Con gress of only part of the States. We have seen this Con gress assume and pretend to be for the Union, when its every step and act tend to perpetuate disunion, and make a disruption of the States inevitable. Instead of promot ing reconciliation and harmony, its legislation has partaken of the character of penalties, retaliation, and revenge. This has been the course and the policy of one department of your Government. Tho humble individual who is now addressing you stands the representative of another de partment of the Government. The manner in which he was called upon to occupy that position I shall not allude to on this occasion; suffice it to sa y th a t h e is here und er th e con stitution 'of the country, and being hero by virtue of its pro visions he takes his stand upon the charter of our liberties as the great rampart of civil and religious liberty. (Pro longed cheering.) Having been taught in my early life to hold it sacred, and having practised upon it during my whole public career, > shal' ever continue to reverence that con stitution—the constitution o f th e f a th ers o f our country— iatn Las to emakeen said,it ra andy g u y i d m e . 0 t ( remark, that .he Executi ve D epartment o : the G overnment E b be th ua permitter stc c h . o e indulge ers the w has been tyrannical. ',et :ne asl. - . this audience of dis tinguished gentlemen around me here to-day to point to a vote I ever gave, to a speech I over made, a single act of my whole ,üblic life, that has nol, been against tyranny and despotism. What position have I ever occupied, what ground have I ever assumed, where it can be truthfully charged that I failed to advocate the amelioration and elevation of the great masses of my countrymen ? (Cries of "Never," and great applause-) So far as charges of that kind are concerned, I will say that they are simply intended to de ceive and delude the public mind into the belief that there is some one in power who is usurping and trampling upon the rights and perverting the principles of the constitution. It is done by those who make such charges for the purpose of converting their own acts. (Cries of "That's so," and cheers.) I have felt it my duty, in vindication of principle and the constitution of my country, to call attention to these proceedings. When we come to examine who has been playing the tyrant, by whom do we find that despotism has been exercised ? As to myself, the elements of my nature, the pursuits of my life, have not made me either in my feelings or in my practice aggressive. My nature, on the contrary, is rather defensive in its character ; but I will say that having taken my stand upon the broad principles of liberty and the constitution, there is not power enough on earth to drive me from it. (Prolonged cheering.) Hav ing placed myself upon that broad platform, I have not been awed, dismayed, or intimidated by either threats or encroachments, but have stood there in conjunction with patriotic spirits, sounding the tocsin of alarm whenever I deemed the citadel of liberty in danger. (Great applause.) I said on a previous occasion, and repeat now, I that all that was necessary in the real struggle against tyranny and despotism was that the struggle should be sufficiently audible for the American people to hear and properly understand. They did hear, and looking on and seeing who was about, they determ ined t hat they would settle this co nstitution and of principle. question (Cries of nT t t h hh e aessi ds oocontestants andthe applause.)were, I proclaim here to day, as I have on other occasions, that my faith is abiding in the groat mass of the people. In the darkest moment of the struggle, when the clouds seemed to be most lower ing,loomed up through ,the dar in ccl y fitouadfharinbsetyeadondo.f g l ivi sa n w g wthaatyall would be safe in the My countrymen, end. (Cheers.) we all know that, in the language of Thomas Jefferson, "tyranny and despotism ever can be exercised and exerted more effectually by the many than the on o." We have s een a Congress gradually encr oach step by s tep upon con s tit u ti onal rights, an d vio late day after day and month afte r month the fundamental principles of the Go vernment. (Cries of " That's So.") We have seen a Congress that seemed to forget th a t there was a constitution of th e United St ates, and that there was a limit to tho sphere and scope of iegislation. (Renewed cries of " That's so.") We have seen a Congress in a minority assume to exercise powers which, if allowed to be carried out, would result in despotism or monarchy it self. (Cr i es o f "That's so," and enthusiastic cheers given for the President.) That is the truth. And because others as well as myself have seen proper to appeal to the pa triotism and republican feeling of the country, we have been denounced in the most severe terms. Slander upon slander, vituperation upon vituperation of the most vil lainous character, has made its way through the public press. What, gentlemen, has been your and my sin ? What has been the cause of our offending ? I will tell you. Daring to stand by the constitution of our fathers. (Loud cheers.) (The President here approached the spot where Senator Johnson was standing, and said)—l con sider the proceedings of this convention, sir, as more im portant than those of any convention that ever assembled in the United States. (Great applause.) When I look with my mind's eye upon that collection of citizens, coming together voluntarily, and sitting in council with ideas, with principles, and views commensurate with all the States and Agricultural Prospects. The week commenced with a fine breezy day— wind from the south-west. Monday was dry, and a good harvest day, when much corn was got up hastily and put into stack, there to remain, for its condition being improved. Tuesday was showery am' sunny alternately, and a stop was put to carrying corn for the day. Wine S.W. to S.S.E. ; thermometer 65 degrees ; barometer 29.50 inches. Our advices on that day were as under : From Northumberland —" The weather during the past week has been changeable ; since Saturday it has been hot, with occasional showers ; wind vary ing from E. to S.E and S.W." From the East Riding of Yorkshire—" The weather has improved, but still continues cloudy, without much heat, and drying winds are wanted to put the outstanding crops into condition for immediate use. A good por tion of white corn is already cut, but very little housed in this district, so that a week or two of fine weather is now of importance to the agricultural in terest." The barometer, having been steadily fall ing for three days, gave sufficient warning to the agricultural interest that a heavy fall of rain was at hand, and Wednesday proved a woefully .wet day, raining throughout with a S.W. wind, and the ba rometer down to 29.20 inches. This rain appears to have deluged some parts of the North Riding of Yorkshire, and was very general on the eastern part of England and up to the south of Scotland inclu sive. The corn cut and in the fields was quite satu rated, and would:require some fine drying winds to bring it into a fit state for being carried. Our ad vices were from Lincolnshire—" During the past week the weather has been rather of an unsettled character for harvest operations ; but, notwithstand ing this drawback, an immense quantity of grain has been cut in the neighbourhood, and a large portion carried." From the west coast of Scotland—" The weather is still variable." From the east coast— " We have this afternoon bad harvest weather, rain falling freely." On Thursday morning it was fine and autumnal, but all grain too damp to be moved, and at 6 p.m. rain again fell—but the barometer was rising—although too fast, there were hopes of im provement. Our advices from Surrey stated— " The weather was bad indeed yesterday, but it has been fine and drying this morning ; and I have just seen a neighbour who told me he was going to take up some barley this afternoon, if it continues fine. The wheat here is somewhat as described elsewhere, some fine, but a great deal of it poor. Itis mostly up, all about here, but of the barley not a great deal has been carried ; there is a large quantity about ; and but for the rain yesterday it would have been nearly all finished this week." From Nottingham shire—" During the past week the weather has been unsettled. Since Sunday there has been an abundant fall of rain, and harvest operations have consequently been checked ; accounts respecting wheat are variable, and bright sunny weather is much needed in order to give the farmers an oppor tunity of securing their crops. The yield of barley will be abundant ; but if the rains continue, the quality will be irregular. Oats are a tolerable crop. Beans are up to an average. Peas have done pretty well. The pastures are looking splendid." From Suffolk, on the coast—" We have had very wet un settled weather since Tuesday evening, more rain than at any previous time during harvest. The greater part of the wheat in this immediate district is secured, and a fair portion of the barley. The wheat generally is not in condition for present use, and our old is all but gone. From Essex— " Very little barley carted in this district as yet, that in the field will be much stained." From Buckinghamshire—" The weather continues very PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. unsettled ; it rained the whole of yes:,erday • some wheat in our neighbourhood is stir in the fields, also some oats and the greater part of the barley." From Warwiskshire—" In this d'striet we have had rain Lally since this day week, and the immense quantit! which Las since Tuesday night gave rise to ..eriou3, apprehensions regarding the large quantity o" cora—considerably nore than half— sti" unhoused The temp-Tat-are is fortunately , much cooler, otherwise sprouting would be the cer tain result. Frida: was breezy day; and, not withstanding the rain of the previous night, much wheat would stacked, and that in good condition. From the Welt Riding of Yorksh' - ‘e Ldl::ccs stated—" 3 1 u - Tug the wecL we have bad some stormy weather, which check:: harvest operations mate rially. To- day s :Me and warm, with the barometer rising." From the past likl•ag—" The weather continues unsettled • a good deal of rain has fa' en during the ast two or three days, and as yet but little corn is gathered in this district." From Lin colnshire—" We have had tremendous rains lately, and little or no corn is yet sects-ed •n the northern part of this county. Wheat had just got into good g.inding condition, when the rain Tell. Should it prove fine to-day no damage may - ae done, but two or three wet warm days would be serious. From Devonshire—" Weather fine ; there has not been so much rain during harvest in this district as in other parts or the kingdom. It has been a flue harvest." Saturday proved breev day, and much har yes'. work would ..e done northward and in the backward \lidlanc: counties; cnly one slight shower waL experienced. The temperate -•e eras somewhat low, which would prove all the better for the corn in sheaf and being carted. As yet we have seen no grown samples of any grain, owing to the cool breezy weather so prevalent during harvest. It will yet be much protracted, and be of long duration from first to last, and from south to Noith.—lllark . lane Express, Sept. 1. f G-- '' '' ' -- ' 7 ::7-e_. ---z - y 2 went through various movements with and without the field guns, and the inspecting officer very highly commended them.

Not withstanding a heavy shower the volunteers at the appointed hour marched from the Armoury-yard to the field, *and received the inspecting-officer, Col. Biddulph, of Woolwich, with the usual salute. They then marched, and were put through the manual and platoon exercise, garrison drill and field-gun drill, in the midst of heavy rain, obeying the command of the officers with the greatest alacrity. At the close of the inspection, Colonel Biddulph com- plimented the members of the corps on their fine appearance and the satisfactory way in which they had gone through their drill. Three cheers were given for the Queen, also for the inspecting-officer and the officers of the corps. In Wiltshire the important event of the past week was the grand county shooting meeting at Battles- bury, near Warminster, which was commenced on Wednesday and continued during the week. The programme contained prizes to the value of £4OO, and the entries of competitors were more numerous than at any previous county gathering. At War minster triumphal arches were erected in honour of the meeting, and everywhere decorations abounded, with illuminations in the evening, finishing with a grand county ball on Friday. The weather on Wed nesday was most inauspicious for the shooting, the rain pouring down in torrents nearly the whole of the day. On the succeeding days, however, there was not much to complain of in this respect. TO regulations were Wimbledon targets and scoring and Eufields or rifles of bona fide Government pattern, five rounds at each range. In Class A, open to effective members only of any Volunteer rifle or Yeomanry corps in the county, the prize given by the president of the Wilts Rifle Association (Marquis of Bath), value 35 guineas, was won by Quarter master Neale, 7th Wilts, at 200 and 500 yards, with 32 marks ; 2d, Sergeant H.

Volunteers have been at Morecambe for shot and shell practice. Although at 1,200 yards the target Was not hit, the shot fell so near as to denote a creditable accuracy in laying the guns. The prizes g i v en by Capt. Jackson for the best five shots in round shot practice were won by gunner Brooksbank, Corporal Hirst, Gunner Travers, Bombardier New some, and Gunner Oates in the order named. An other prize for striking the target with shell was divided between gunners Oates and Braithwaite, who both accomplished the task. Lieut. Marshall, R.A., who superintended the shooting, expressed himself satisfied with the practice made with solid shot, considering the very bad weather, and said the shell firing was admirable. The Ist Administrative Brigade of the West York Artillery Volunteershave been inspected by Lieut.-Col. Ord, R.A. The men Theodore, King of Abyssinia. Some correspondence just issued among the Par liamentary papers gives an account o the " King of Kings of Ethiopia." When he received Consul Cameron in 1862 the King was in a reclining pos ture with a double-barrelled gun and two pistols by his side, his Ministers and Generals standing round in their robes of State. The Consul was allowed to be seated. According to the custom in Abyssinia mead and broiled meats were brought in. The King gave a graphic description of his campaign against Negusi, and of the death scene of his late grand chamberlain, the Englishman Bell, in which our countryman singled out the chief Garrett, to whom Mr. Consul Plowden owed his death, and killed him on the battlefield, while the King despatched the same rebel's brother. Both the slain were his Majesty's cousins. He spoke of his further revenge for Mr. Plowden's death when he executed 1,500 of Garrett's followers on the same day ; he did this, he said, to win the friendship of her Majesty. The consul delivered the presents, a rifle and revolver pistols, sent by her Majesty in acknowledgment of the king's exertions to recover the remains of her late consul, Mr. Plowden. The King was anxious to procure English aid or influence against the pres sure of the Turks upon his borders. Consul Plow den sent to the Foreign-office in 1855 a report, in which, after referring to the distracted state of Abyssinia, with its chiefs generally at variance with each other, he says:—" A remarkable man has now appeared, who, under the title of King Theodorus, has broken the power of the great feudal chiefs, has united the whole of Northern Abyssinia under his authority, and has established tolerable tranquil lity.' It appears that from his earliest youth he has regarded this as his destiny. Mr. Plowden de scribes him as young, vigorous in all manly exer cises, of a striking countenance, peculiarly polite and engaging when pleased, and mostly displaying great tact and delicacy, of untiring energy, both mental and bodily, and of boundless daring, perso nal and moral. His ideas and language are said to be clear and precise, hesitation is not known to him, he has neither councillors nor go-betweens. He salutes his meanest subject with courtesy, and is generous to excess, but also unsparing in punish ment and terrible when his wrath is aroused. His faith is signal ; " Without Christ," he says, " I am nothing ; but if He has destined me to purify and reform this distracted kingdom, who shall stay me 2" Mr. Plowden, who thus sketched the King's cha racter, stated that he had made great reforms of Abyssinia, had enforced more decency of manners, was putting down trade in slaves, and vexatious exactions on commerce. As might be expected, he was jealous of his sovereign rights, and he objected to the establishment of an English consulate in his dominions as an innovation ; "he found no such thing in the history of the institutions of Abys sinia." Mr. Plowden hinted that if he consented to the establishment of friendly relations the sea coast and Massowah might possibly be given up to him ; but though his ambition was roused at this he feared the clause conferring jurisdiction on the con sul as trenching on his prerogative, and the time for consideration was so short that he was too much startled at the proposal to accept it. The Roman Catholic mission had usurped the functions of the Aboona and the Abyssinian clergy, and the King f eared • that we should wish in like manner to usurp the political rights of the Sovereign. The Earl of Claren don, then Foreign Secretary, approved the language of the consul in his interview with King Theodorus. Consul Cameron, visiting the King seven years afterwards, stated to him that the question of juris diction by a consul was in his Majesty's hands— that England only wanted justice to her subjects, and that if his Majesty explained to our Govern ment that separate jurisdiction would be impossible, and is unnecessary where the laws are so mild as in Abyssinia, this would besufficient for the present. Mr. Plowden's opinion was this :—" Whenever he does sign a treaty he will faithfully fulfil his obli gations to the extent of his authority. He has a noble disdain of falsehood or covetousness. Should he establish one Government as he proposes, and a frontier arrangement be made with Egypt, Abyssinia may rank as a Christian kingdom ; should he fail, she must be left to her destinies until some European Power shall think it worth while to conquer and in struct the most fertile of African provinces." Un fortunately, Consul Cameron, when furnished by the King with a letter to Queen Victoria, and or dered by him to return to his post at Massowah, went to Bogos, where he employed himself in recon ciling some rival chiefs, sending on the King's letter by an Abyssinian messenger. The chief cause of the King's anger with Consul Cameron was his journey to Bogos, coupled with a suspiciontigpttiahnse of f n t s h u e l had intrigued to set the Turks and E frontier against him, and any degree an swer to the letter to the Queen. by the consul's retu rn to G e r e e n a .l d Vh th en e F t the Foreign ' g n con sul's report of his proceedings che office, Earl Russe ll wrote to him abstaniing from all interference in the internal affairs of Abyssinia. Earl Russell, writing to Colonel Stanton in October last, says If we were to make ourselves the pro tectors of the Emperor Theodore against the Sultan and his Viceroy of Egypt, we should become respon sible for his acts, and be entangled in his Thequar rels with all his neighbours and rivals. obli gations of the British Government are various enough and heavy enough without undertaking so costly, hazardous, and unprofitable a protectorate." , 4 There is no shame to our manhood if we distrust our own ability to endure the anguish of the body. . .
