We very cheerfully give place TO the above,
but we beg to call the attention of our cores
pondent TO the fact that the inadvertence is
on his side in failing to see that the report
published in the Press of Friday morning did
not purport to give the proceedings of the as
sembled delegates up to a period later than
Wednesday evening. The letter of our re-
porter was mailed in Bangor on the morning
of Thursday, before the assembling Of the Con-
uention, at time consequently, when it would
have been somewhat difficult to know the ma
ture of the resolutions referred to, at least
without the gift of prophecy, to which the
Press makes no pretensions. In our issue of
Saturday, however, these resolutions were
published in full in our report Of the proceed
ings of the Convention.
We are most happy to give our readers the
benefit of Mr.. Goddard's comments upon the
resolutions in question, and for the conyen-
fence of those who may wish in connection
with those comments, to refer to the text of
the resolves, we reproduce them below:
First. Resolved, That we disapprove the
reconstruction policy of President Johnson
We believe it to be wrong in principle. and
that its adoption would result in disaster to
the Union and the loyal cause Peace would
not be restored. The questions which led to
the late civil war would remain unsettled.
treason would cease to be regarded a crime,
emancipation would be defeated, the national
credit destroyed, and the bad passions which
engendered the war and urged it on with saw
age fury on the part or the insurgent States,
instead Of being allayed, would break out in
more bitter agitation, till the nation, distract
ed beyond endurance, would be compelled
again to the arbitration of arms.
Second. Resolved, That we have but little
faith in any efforts to restore the insurgent
States to the Union on the basis OF LOYALTY.
while treason remains unpunished while par
dons are granted by wholesale to unrepent-
ant rebels, and while the local Offices in those
States are filled by men who are guilty oftrea-
son and who cherish no love for the Union
and we believe that, until the most prominent
ring leaders OF the rebellion are hung or BAN
ished, and the loyal Offices in those States
placed in the hands of true loyal men, it will
be unsafe to withdraw the national forces
from those States, and that little can be ac-
complished in them toward securing to the
coiored citizens their civil or political rights.
jhsrd. Resolved, That all tests, disabilities
anu any u,s?qalifications based on races or color
arg ants Republican, unreasonable and iDjuri-
Gus, anu we believe that it would be fatal
mistahe ol Inc part of Congress, to leave the
adjustment OF the political rights of the color
ed citizens In the hands of the whites of the
insurgent States, and we earnestly insist that
Congress shall in the most appropriate. speedv
and effective way, provide for impartial suf-

[sPEcIAL DESPATCH TO THE EVENING TELEGRAPH.1
BUFFALO, N. Y, June Three car loads OF
Fenians arrived here last night, on the Like
Shore train. They were marched to the Central
Railroad depot for the purpose OF proceeding
east, when the order was countermanded, and
they proceeded to the different Fenan rendez-
vous in this city. The men were commanded by
a colonel and were evidently we'll drilled.
There are about four thousand Fenians in the
city at present A conductor on the New York
and Erie Railroad states that during the past
four days from twenty to twenty-five thousand
Fenians passed through Rome and Syracuse,
New York State bound East.
They are rapidly concentrating somewhere
in the neighborhood of ogdensburg. Although
very rough looking they are very reticent. and
when questioned give no information beyond
the remark that they are railroad men looking
for work. Prominent Fenians here, however,
have been heard to say that the great work will
soon commence at an unexpected point, and
Immediately spread over the whole Canadian
border.
Colonel 0iNeill, captured by the United States
steamer Michigan, has Just been Internationally
released. He is now being followed through the
streets by hundreds of excited Fenlans, and lus
tiIy cheered.
