Il would have been better for the new
johnson party to have sent no delegation
to the President, The experience of Mr..
johnson as a speech-maker, from the time
of his inaugural address down to the 22d
of February last, and from that point to
the present time, ought to have taught the
shrewd managers of the Philadelphia con-
glomeration that silence from the Execu-
tive would be better than speech. Having
kept the paddock on the lips of the con-
vention, they should have known enough
not to have unlocked the incontinent
tongue Of Andrew johnson. Mr.. John
son has not yet made speech since he be-
came President which has not damaged
himself and his cause The speech Of
Saturday, which the visit Of the Philsdel.
phia committee gave him an opportunity
to deliver, is no exception to the rule. Il
Is like all his harangues-like them in yer.
bosity, like them in diffuseness, like then
in repetition, like them in demagoguery
like them above all in insuferable ego
tism and self-praise. 1t is of johnson
Johnsonian. We should know it for hi
own production if itcame to us unlabelled
unclaimed.
The speech contains no argument an,
therefore calls for no reply. The smal
space in it not devoted to lauding the viz
tues, rehearsing the services, and com
planning Of the prosecutions of Andre1
johnson, is divided between abuse of Cor
gress and, nstural compliment, praise {
the Philadelphia Convention. The Pre-
ident speaks Of Congress IS IS Congre:

Special Correspondence Of the Cleveland LEADERl.
ORRvILLE, Ohio, Aug. 13.
Considerable time has elapsed since my
last writing-but in the meantime the
wheels of progress have been steadily
rolling onward The month of July, and
thus far in August, has passed away
history Of our village to note. An ordi-
nance passed by the Town Council, re-
curing the construction of pavements
upon certain streets that have not been
so improved, is causing quito brisk busi-
ness in that direction. If the work IS
vigorously pushed forward, our principal
streets will all be neatly paved ere the
cold weather sets in. The Street Com
missioner has also been doing most effec-
tive work in grading the streets this Sea-
son. The tearing down of embank-
ments and filling up of hollow places,
have added much to the general appear
ance of the village. a large brick resi-
dence, owned by D. G. Horst, is rapidly
approaching completion, and is one of the
most prominent marks of improvement
in our place this summer. D. G. Evans
business house is being steadily pushed
forward, and when completed will be the
largest and most imposing structure in the
place. 1t is intended for store room,
with splendid public hall in the second
story. Mr.. Speicher, of the Mansion
House, is making great Improvements
| about his hotel by putting large addi-
tion TO the main building, and greatly in
| creasing his stable accommodations. The
masons are busily engaged upon the foun-
dation of the NJ. Z. Church, to be built o.
brick, and completed this fall. The site
of the church is most beautiful, and well
selected. Other buildings Of less import
are springing up in Different parts of the
town.
The farmers generally have finished
their grain harvesting. The wheat crop
| is quite light, though much better than
anticipated last spring. The oat crop is
exceedingly heavy, and better prospects
for corn and potatoes have seldom if eTec
been seen. Apples are very plenty, and
large quantities of the early varieties are
being shipped to the city markets.
The passageof the equalization bounty
bill meets with the hearty apprc-

There is perfect rush Of

litical excitement is running very low
since the adjournment of Congress. "My

the supporters of the Union party, while
the sympathizers of the Fenians are swear
ing vengeance on the man who interfered
in their pet scheme 9long the border.
We have had the gift concert fever t.
quite an extent. One fortunate ticke

liberal patronage.

A Call that Won't be Responded TO.
WAsHINGrov, August Is.-A meeting of
the officers Of the United States army favor
able TO the reconstruction policy of the
President and the action of the National
Union Convention at Philadelphia, was
held at Williard's Hotel last evening.
Major General Steedman was elected Presi-
dent of the meeting and Gen. Ewing, of
Kansas, appointed Secretary. It was re-
solved to hold a convention Of the soldiers
and sailors OF the United States at Chicago
on the 18th Of September, with view Of
approving the objects Of the late convention
and policy of the President A committee
was appointed to issue call for this pUr-
pose.
THE Buffalo Froffine Fair.
BUFsALo, August 1s.-About 5000 people
were present at the great saddle race this D.
M between Dexter and Butler. Day fine,
and track in good order, though horsemen
say the Buffalo track is not near s good as
the one Dexter made his great time on, bnt
Dexter showed to-day the best time ever
made bya trotting horse. The first heat
was 2:2I As; Dexter, ridden by James Eaff,
was several lengths behind second heat.
Dan Mace rode Butler, but poor time was
made, as Butler broke badly. Heat 2:26
The third heat both had good start Sent off
Butler ahead, but Dexter soon passed him
and came home winner in unprecedented
time-2:IS, and without q break.

of States. 1t may represent only part 0
.. the States, but it represents the entirt
loyal people Of the country 1t a0as com
petent to deal with the question of rebel
lion; i'll competent in an equal degree
to deal with the question of reconstruc-
tion. Mr.. Johnson's sneer at it can mean
nothing less than an intimation that it is
an unconstitutional and illegal body. If
such be indeed the settled opinion OF our
Accidental President and if indeed he
hss at last made up his mind to treat the
representatives of the loyal nation as a
usurping faction, let the people look to it,
Tor Fhere is treason where loyalty ought
TO have its fountain head! Such SEN
tences as these, such denunciations by one
branch of the Government of a co-ordi-
nate branch, are in themselves fevolu-
tionary. They portehd violence, usurpa-
ton, and anarchy. The people should be
On their guard when they see the Execu-
tive breathing forth such threatenings
against their representatives.
It is natural that the President who de-
nounees the loyal Congress of loyal
country as q minority despotism should
beslaver the Philadelphia eopperheads
and rebels with base eulogy. We are not,
therefore, surprised that the President
should call the Convention the greatest
that ever assembled in the United States
and should see in its results second De-
claratiOn of Independence, a second Pro-
clsmation of Emancipation. The peo-
ple-the soldiers who put down the rebel
lion-the loyal millions who supported |
them frem at home with money and bal
lots and labor-are not so ready to glorify |
this love-feast of Northern and Southern
traitors. The convention in which the
of Andersonville and
Belle Isle, of Memphis and New Orleans
of Island No. 10 and Fort Pillow, met
and fraternized with the Seymours, the
Garret Davises, the Andrew Jackson
Rogerses, the Hendrickses, the Blisses,
and the Clyners of the North, may be re-
garded with admiration by johnson, its
creator and controller, but We suspect
that the American people look upon it
with feeling very like disgust.
The rest of the Presidents speech is
egotism, pure and simple. Its disgusting
lemagoguery, its intense self-conceit are
more marked than in any of the Presi-
lent's many lucubrations. We regret that
We are obliged to comment so severely {
Ipon the course of a man whom fortune
las placed in the position of chief execu- t
i've of the nation, but it is incumbent upon
Is TO speak in terms of censure in case
ike this. Every thoughtful patriot joins
With as in feelings of shame and sorrow
t hearing such words from the lips Of the
uccessor of Washington, jefferson and
lincoln. u

RssoLred, lst, As the sense of this con.

ResoLJed I'd, That to the brave soldiers

this government and this people owe a
debt too great to be paid only by our de-
termination to perpetuste to them and
their children the blessings of free gov
ernment which their brave hearts and
stout arms saved from the intent of bad
and wicked men to destroy.
Resolred Sd, That this Convention fully
endorse the action of our representative
in Congress, the Hon. Martin Welker,
and we pledge him our united and earnest
support in securing his reelection.
Wr. Welker, on being presented to the
Convention, proceeded to thank the Con-
