me Convention embodied It's opinions upon pending
people With the exception of some Of the declarations
b reference TO the representation Of the Southern States
IN Congress- and the approval and praise OF the Presi
dents course there nothing In the series to which the
stsunchest republican viii object The resolution accept
apg the abolition of slavery and calling for the protection
Of the freedmen in their civil rights is satisfactory
Their political rights ignored and on this point the
republican party not in position find fault One Of
resolutions asserts that the matter Of suffrage is
wholly in the control OF the States and Congress least
sactIy admitted this doctrine by declining 10 act upon il
al tho only period when IT likely to have the opportn
nifty TO do So The address, written by Mr. Raymond OF
Abe New York Tines makes the chief issuethe adms-
sion OF loyal Southern Senators and Representatives to
Congress-most prominent, and argues the with
much skill and force It recommends to the people to
make this the question in the pending Congressional
elections they will naturally do there being other
matter OF importance involved in these elections
IL is positive gain to the country to let the recon
siruced rebels Of the South and especially those popu
ttly supposed TO be the least hopeful portion, TO
mp to the doctrines declared at Philadelphia II is
scarcely less favorable symptom of returning political
health that the copperhead wing OF the Northern demo-
sracy feel the necessity o. dshonorng their past record
We suspect tho sincerity of some of the parties con
rerned They have taken an advanced position, and
they must adhere to it, This position will command
respect among the people, II is in vain to assail 1t with
ridcule and contempt 1t will be found to be reality
and no sham

This grand convention Of dsnterested and patriotic

movement becomes part Of the history OF the nation
u will stand side by side with the most marked i'm.
Portant events in the wonderful Of this republic
and the who originated the meeting and contributed
10 its triumphant success will rank with those Of '76
and 80 The same spirit of enlarged patriotism OF
selfish nationality, OF regard for the rights OF the whole
people, with which the patriots of tho early days of the
republic were so plenteously endowed animated the
members OF the Restoration Convention OF 1865 and
made their deliberations unit The good of the whole
the polar star OF their action and by its clear and
steady light the proceedings llumined from the
opening sentence TO the closing amen.
The work OF the delegates being accomplished IL
remains for the people to endorse and ray their action
States in indissolube bond OF friendship faith and
broheriy affection That will be done. The noble spirit

An Honest Effort for the Country.
From the Troy IN W Press ldemosratjc) Angus. II.
We are no really loyal man review The pro-
seedlings Of the Convention and not rejoice at tho great
reunion which is thus typifed and we can hardly
how II can be tortured into attempt al wrong
attempt of of It's members-as Is usually the
conventons-to advance their interests AT The
penae OF the public good II was honest effort In
behalf Of the country and the constitutions sprung
from republicans who sickened at the bad and
Just craftsmanship of shortsghed Congress, and 10
backed by democrats who honestly thought,
and sl think that they would thus do the most loyal
however II has been abused the best the world The
resolutions adopted liberal, but they are strict
enough IN connection with their liberalism to be pre-
cisely what the times and the people demand They
broad that every loyal man endorse them they
made for the people OF the whole country and
for those OF Massachusetts or South Carolina alone
Governor Orr's observation-disclosures Talk.
Prom the Cincinnati Commercial republican, August 1871
The speech of Governor Orr, OF South Carolina In
Philadelphia night before last, which publish in full
fhs morning, will do much good II will b. observed
tbat he afrms that the ndivsbiliiy Of the American
nationality has been decreed the battlefield He wants
nothing moro OF the doctrine practice OF secession
Aud he has the maniness and craftsmanship TO
come forward and say that the national debt must be
pad-that its payment concerns the honor Of the South
well rs Of the North This IL the most wholesome
talk we have had from a prominent representative man
oil the South, since the impression made In sec
fioE by the Presidents quarrel with Congress that he
for the reeonstrcon Of the rebellion rather than OF
1he nation. Every intelligent reader will invountary
contrast the speech of Governor Orr with the speeches
81 Mr.. Pendcton in Pennsylvania and Kentucky, and
abe contrast u not TO the advantage OF the latter II
sould be established that Governor Orr speaks the true
sentiment OF the Southern people u would not take long
30 dispose Of the complaint that they not represented
IN Congress.
