MEETING OF NEW YORK DELEGATES.

A meeting of the delegates from New York
assembled IN the large assembly-room OF the
Union League, at IL O'Clock this morning.
There were a number OF distinguished men
from all the States present.
Governor Curtin stated the purposes of the
meeting.
Governor Hawey, of Connecticut, folio owed
expressing a hope to do something in union
with the great Convention.
Gov. Morton, of Indiana said we must meet
10 help the Southern Unionsts. He said that
the Northern delegates should meet and help
the Unionists from the South. He said we
won't fight the battles of the South in the
North.
the close of the war 1t is hard to realize the
dreadful state OF affairs. There are mutteringS
and rebellious utterances. He said that the
Rebels were clamorous to be heard in Congress.
He said they wished to sit IN Congress and
carry out the principles they could not carry
out in the field. The success of the loyal men
in the South depends on the success of their
friends in the North. If we lose they are exiled.
pathizers embraced each other in this city.
These Copperheads are so stained with treason,
that there is no possibility of their being sue
cessful without Rebellion being endorsed. Ii
we are not successful the soldiers fought in vain.
He expressed a hope that General Grant
would not lean to the South. If we are not
successful, it were better that we let the South
90 peaceabiy, without the war; He hoped in
the Justice and goodness of God, and by His
aid we would triumph. (Three cheers for Gov
ernor Moron.)
General walbrdge. OF New York-He said
that when the standard of revolt was raised, no
one stood frmer than Senator Chandler, of
Michigan.
Senator Chandler rose, and SAID that he be-
heved that no one present would deny the doc
trine ot total depravlty a expressed by Johnson
and Seward. (Groans and htsses.)
He said that never has this country been in
such danger, but there Is light ahead. Tue
speeches OF Andrew johnson have satisfied the
people that he is not for the Union.
He had too much faith in Providence to
believe that He will abandon US in this dark
hour. All obstacles will be removed The
great people will remove the great apostate
Andrew johnson has no right to policy; he
is but the Executive; but he has no right to do
other than to advise Congress, who will adopt
1T or not, as they choose. If he executes the
lave, well and good. If he does not he is
traitor, and Wen impeach him. Tremendous
cheering for several minutes.)
He believed there was misapprehension In
regard to the true issue. He said that johnson
is but tool in the hands OF The Rebels There
was not one in ten OF the members from the South
who was not elected upon the platform OF the
acknowledgment OF the Southern and repuda
tion OF the Northern debt.
One Union man said q Rebel General ran
against him on the above principle. lie
said. that the Southern Representatives from
the Rebels wished to pay bounties to Southern
soldiers. Alexander Stephens, an unwashed
Rebel, he looked on as the worst of all. He
accepted the Vice-Presidency OF the Rebellion
10 carry the Union men out Of the Union.
He sent his card to him brother Senator
last winter. Stevens came on on invitation O.
the President. Nine-tenths of the so-called Con
gressmen from the South are unwesheC
Rebels. If they were not included the amend
ments could not be secured. They the Rebels
wanted few Northern votes to carry out theil
measures.
Congress was a noble body, and they woult
try to corrupt II. Bribery was to be rampant
The Rebel debt is not known. IL may be one
and it may be thousand millions They car
make money as easy now as during the Rebel
hon. Bonds to the amount of millions will b.
offered. We are not safe for half an hour with
out passing the Constt ltional amendments
Our debt TO our country and our soldier
must be sacred
feel about the same about Seward that tn
man did who saw his apples roll down hill
and was asked why he did not swear. He re
piled, because he could not find words 10 d
Justice 10 the subject.
W. H. Seward would rather rule than ruin
He is al heart traitor to the country.
He then read an extract OF speech delivere
by Johnson: .r-
Snme traitors shall be punished, and tresso
made odiOus.n
He resumed reading from the Gazette. hpc
