CLOSING REMARKS OF JUDGE YERGEr

CLOSING REMARKS OF JUDGE IERGER.
On adjourning the recent State Con-
vention, Judge Yerger indulged III few
remarks, which are thus reported by the
correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial.-[ VIcks. Wig.
Before adjourning, the President made
a brief vafedictory address to the mem
bers of the convention. Tie said he had
never had the fortune to take part i'll any
deliberations more characterized By pa
triotism, urbanity and absence Of unwor-
thy partisan strife, than were those Just
now so happily ended. lie said: Il trust
in God that our work here will not BE- in
vain, but that it shall have the happy ef-
feet of inaugurating q movement which
shall bring together again all the people
of this great country, united throughout
its broad extent in peace and harmony;
and that we shall be able to hand to our
children after us the noble Inheritance OF
a Union which shall remain unbrokcn, not
only during our generation. but through
all future time. Let Us labor earnestly
to promote these great ends.

my head in anguish and sorrow, and re-
tired to my home with gloomy forehod-
ings for the future. To-day we stand
here to undo the work of that evil day,
and to restore ourselves to friendly rela-
tions with that great and good govern
ment which we have vainly sought to
overthrow. God grant, gentlemen, that
our deliberations may have the happy re-
suit of restoring peace and harmony and

4 SOUTHERN DELEGATIoN.--A delegation
representing seven Southern States-Georgia
Alabama, Mississippi, FLORIDA, Arkansas, Vir-
ginia and Tennessee-had an interview with
President Johnson on the l1th inst. The
chairmen of the various State delegations are:
Messrs. McFarlane, of Virginia; Bass, of Ar
kansas; Withers, of Mississppi; Bliss, of Ala
bama; Green, of Tennessee; Judge Lochrane,
of Georgia; and Judge Baker, of Florida.
Mr.. McFarlane, of Virginia, briefly address
ed the President, in which he alluded to the
composition of the delegation, representing, as
it did, a large portion of the Southern people.
and to the fact that the policy of the President,
and his course in dealing with the late insur-
gent States, meet with the cordial endorsement
of those people who were disposed 10 stand by
him in restoring the authority of the govern
ment and III cementing the bonds of union.
The President said, in reply, that there had
been no new developments in public affairs to
make it necessary for him to change his course
towards the people lately in rebellion He
thought that by this time those people must be
aware that he was anxious for the restoration
of the States to the Union in the mode already
familiar to them, through the Proclamations OF
the Executive. He alluded to the election oi
Congressman, aud said that their admission
rested solely with Congress, and it was ihhpor-
tant, therefore, that thoroughly loyal men
should be elected to represent them, in order
that they might not be rejected by Congress.
The delegation We're evidently pleased with
the Presidents reply. --
Washington telegraph., 1865-09-27

founded only in the belief that he will
execute the law, the whole law, and no.
thing but the law, in all parts of the
country; that he will not allow the mill
tary to interfere with State elections;
that he will punish kidnapping and rob
berry through the legal authorities, wheth
er committed by Federal officers or pri-
vate citizens, and that he will suffer no
person to be murdered by Military Com
mission, and upon these measures there
can be no compromise; he that Is not for
us against us.
Eighth, That in view of our enormous
national debt, the great weight Of our
State taxes, and the local burdens impos-
ed upon us in divers ways, economy and
retrenchment becomes an important duty
of all our representatives, and to this
end the vast standing army now OH foot
ought to be dishanded, the navy should
be reduced, and the corrupt and extrav-
agant practices, lately introduced into
the Government, should be totally abol
ished. aH
Ninth, That our revenue laws need to
be carefully revised in such manner
that while the public credit will be main
tanned and the national honor preserved,
taxation will be equal and just
Tenth, That the gallant soldiers Of the
Republic, who so nobly risked their lives
in defence of the Union and the Consti-
tuition, merit and will receive the uudy-
ing gratitude of the American people,
Living, they shall live in our warmest
affections, and dying, their memories will
be cherished for all time to come. TO
say, as our political opponents do, that
they fought bled and died mainly for the
freedom of the negro, is gross insult
on their patriotism, and an outrage which
will be Indignantly resented by their
surviving comrades through the ballot
box.
Eleventh, That the noble manner in
which the Democratic press of this Com
monwealth have contended in the defense
of the liberties of the nation, amid trials
and difficulties almost unparalleled, is
deserving of our grateful recognition,
and should entitle it to the encourage
ment of every Constitution-ioving citi-
zen.
. Twelfth, That we reaflirm our adher-
ence to the Monroe doctrine
Adopted unanimously.

There is no doubt that the question Of
admitting the Southern delegations into
Congress Will form the Cornerstone Of
the reorganization Of parties before the
session. Under the ruling Of the Ad-
ministration the disloyal States have nev-
er been out of the Union, and under that
of Mr.. Chase and his friends they have
been, and are still in that uncomfortable
situation. Indications now favor the
policy of the President. If the Repre-
sentatives sent here are thoroughly un-
exceptiouable, they will not b. refused
their seats. On the other hand, every
equivocal character selected by the South
ern people gives just such capital to the
enemies of reconstruction-who first to
proclaim war as means of keeping the
South in, are now almost ready to 90 to
war to keep her out. The middle course
is not only the popular, but unquestiona-
bly, the proper line Of action, and think
will prevail.
The Wertz trial Jrags along ind;fTer-
emily. 1t attracts little interest or atten-
ton. Wertz himself, the witnesses oil
both sides, and the Court are pretty gen
orally stigmatized as small-potato con
Germ. unworthy of the time Of the nabobs
of the Capitol.
Mexico is not nearly So great an affair
at Washington as it appears to persons
at a distance The Government is per-
fectly advised of eveything transpiring
beyond the Gulf, from San Juan to Aca-
pulco. Maximiliau is scarce considered
very dangerous, nor is rupture likely.
The recent letter of Gen. Sheridan is
said to be 4 hoax. The views of that
officer are quite the reverse.
