New Orleans daily crescent., 1866-10-01

ready we read daily Of riots and murders aud
burnlngs all over the the gulf and border States,
and they will soon be followed by revolutions and
battles. The evil councils of the copperheads of
the North have taken such deep root in the minds
of the Southern people, that believe peaceful
solution of our difficulties is no longer possible and
that war must result. Since war is inevitable letus
prepare for the struggle.
Let our disbanded regiments OF volunteers be
got together as speedily as posslhle recognized,
armed and equipped for. the field. Let us leave
nothing to be done when the time to march comes,
but to cry to our gallant boys, forward head of
column to the South As for the copperheads,
when the drums beat to arms they will return to
their homes, off to Europe and Canada, and if afew
of them. more bold than in the past, shall find
courage to take up arms, of these we will make or
natnents for the lamp posts Of our cities, and the
shRde trees of our towns. Rebuke strongly the
soldiers Of fortune who met in conspiracy the other
day at Cleveland to aid the reYolutonists at the
South. Many of them for peace and pay fought
well in the late war on our side, but we do not
need the aid of merCenaries, and they should go
South where they belong, and where their sym
pathies have been all the time. Anxously await
ing the action of your imp : tant commission, am
with respect, etc.
Gov. Cuttin was loudly called for, and, appear
ing on the platform, said: @ ] am much obliged,
soldiers of the republic, for your pleasant greet
ing, and were it not that hava been engaged in
the air, might be tempted to trespass upon your
time III speaking to you, for surely would be
flattered BY the privilege of speaking to this as
semblage of the true men of The republic. (Cries
of go onl Yesterday | spoke in an interior
county; tomorrow shall speak again, and the
next day, and the next day, until the election.
| (AppIause.) / will draw inspiration from this
heroic presence, and | will go from this conyen-
ton to work zealously in my allotment, for am
with you all, soldiers of the republic, in this
great movement, in feeling and sentiment, and
| | will bear with me to the people of this
great and loyal commonwealth the sentiments
of this body Of loyal soldiers. Having for four
| years been in intimate communication with the
soldiers from Pennsylvania. knowing much of the
| suffering Of the people at home, knowing the
number Of dead, for the bills of mortality came
| to me fresh from the battle-With the full know
| ledge of the widow and the helpless orphans
made by the war, pray God my country may
never be plunged in another such war, and that
you may never be called upon agaiu. OF all the
men in this great republic, the soldiers who main-
tanned the stability of the government are the
proper men to meet i'll council now and deliberate
| on what are the true lessons of the war. (Ap
plause.) When yon have concluded what are the
true lessons of the war. you have the power to
compel the government to obey you Politicians,
statesmen and officials sink into insgnihcance be-
fore the mighty voice OF the surviving soldiers of
the republic. (Great applause.}
Gen. Neagle, who was next called for, came for
ward and acknowledged the compliment. He
looked upon the convention asa tide that was to
sweep all the old soops of politicians that had
been anchored in the current of progress Of this
great republic. (Appausel The deliberations
Of the convention tended to nothing less than the
preservation Of our armies and their unquestona
BILE sacrifices in defense Of the common cause.
His hearers had still another round in their cart
ridge .boxes-still another arrow in their bow to
lshoot the Gessler that dares to raise his cap des
politically over the will Of the American people.
(Applause.) Chaplain Gen. Moody stated that
there was now present gallant old PrUssan Off
GER identified forever with their eistory, Gen,
August Which, of Cincinnati cloud cheers for
Gen. Willich.)
1ky Dear Gon2rGdes-T suppose my friends
bring me here TO show Ton true American who
has not been born amongst you, butwho has made
himself. My old soldiers will understand me very
well, because have talked so much to them that
| believe they take my Dutch for English We
come here to make profession Of our political
creed which I think is just as important as our
religious creed, but in that profession | do not
want to count only the few thousands present;
though, gentlemen if we should have ourselves
weighed you would see where the heaviest weight
is. There have been a few guests in Cleveland,
the stragglers of our army. (Applause.) guess
if they could only look here and see these honest
faces around US they would be ashamed, and con.
denim themselves and hate themselves. tCheers.)
No doubt they can now see where the grand army
of the republic is. That army is here, and the
heart Of the people IS here, and if they do not
want to see it, then they Will have to feel it.
(Cheers.)
After the delivery Of the above, it was found
that the stock Of buncombe was exhausted, and
as the committee on resolutions had not been
heard from, q motion for recess seemed the only
thing left to do, it was made. just as the chair
was about to put it, General Butler was observed
to enter the hall, and he Immediately attracted at
tention and was vociferously cheered. 1t was
known that he was chairman of the resolution
committee, and the motion for recess was imme-
diately Withdrawn. The resolutions were then
read and adopted amid enthusiastic cheers.
After this came Buffers speech, which was re-
markable chiefly for the omission of the African.
The same observation is applicable to the resolu
lutions. 1t was feared by some and hoped by |
others that the platform would declare for impair
tial suffrage
This really concluded the labors of the conven-
ton, but an evening session was held, at which a
number of resolutions were passed and number
Of speeches were made, none of them by recog-
lized party leaders, and then the convention ad-
ourned sine die
A ratification meeting will be held tomorrow
Banks, Butler and others are advertised to speak
tit.
