GENERAL LEE, GENERAL GRANT
AND THE COMING SOLDIERS CoNvEN.
rIoN.-A correspondent of the New
York Acrold, writing from Richmond
says:
1t has bcon remarked here that the
presence Of Generals Grant and Leo at
tic convention Of the soldiers, North
and South, would tend more to engcnlnr
an abiding spirit Of union and fraternity
amongst al classes of people throughout
the country than any event that could
occur. The enthusiasm which ANNA
ted tho Philadelphia Convention upon
tho entrance, arm III arm OF tho Massa
ohusctts and South Carolina delegations
would be but n mcagrc display; co'iipair
cd to that which would hail the entrance
Of these chieftoins into the Soldiers
Convention. The event would send 4
thrill Of Joy through tho heart of the
nation, and present to the world spec.
tacle more sublime and impressive than
ever marked tho advent of peace Of
illustrated that grand moral prc.eminanco
and abiding conservatism which consti-
tutc such strong guarantees Of pcrma
ncnt unity and fraternity. It is impos-
sblo to conceive what influence such ai
exhibition would exercise upon the
country. Tt would cffeoLusl!y diepol
any lingering resentment that mi ght
exist, and stamp upon the Union tho
impress Of indissolubility. The two
Generals, in their sublime relation,
would be cstoomed living types Of Ia;
tional unity, and happy omblcms of
abiding peace and fraternity. A. sol.
diers' convention, hallowed by the
presence of such mon, in relations of
cordial fraternity, would squelch what,
over of radicalism may have survived
the Philadelphia assomblages.

lnCtndiQry Speech OF B. +. Butler, &c.

BosToN, August 26.-At political
meeting ut Gloucester, last evening,
j. Il. Butlor, was ono of tho spuakors::
Butlcr, on being introduced, said..
The issues now before tho country
woro tho samo substantially rs those
of 1860, and in this conviction he pro-
cccdcd to trace tho Causes which lod
to tho rebellion and tho part taken by
tho Northern States in Che attempt to
overthrow tho government. Ho con-
tended that by thoir rebellion they
had forfeited thoir property thoir
rights, and thoir lives, if robols wore
hanged, which, unfortunately, ho said,
they were not. Passing on he spoke
of the failtire Of tho Southern repre-
scntativcs to secure their seats in Con-
gross, and said that ifdHy portion of
tho Southern States had sont loyal
man to Congress, it was only to got him
admitted, and when they had secured
n representation thoy would send dis
loyal mon. Rofcrring to the Phila-
dolphia Convention, ho said it was
composed of a sot Of men who proposed
to settle war which thoy did not
fight, but which thoy opposed in all
possible ways, and it is tho intention
Of loyal people to know by what right
thoy arrogato to themselves that privi-
lego. It is tho mon who did the
fighting, ho said. who aro to do the
sotting. Butler charaot otorizod thatbody
as tho most remarkable that over hs.
somblod, and said that tho delegates
from neithor section Of tho coun!
try Q represented thoir constituents
Ho thon referred to tho Now Orleans
riot, and road a portion Of tho corres-
pondcnco rotating to 1t, and said tho
whole tenor of President Johnson's
dispatches to Gonoral Sheridan was to
gloss ovor tho terrible affair. IF this
state of things cannot DO altered, But
Rlcr continued, wo will march once

In considering tho Constitutional
amendments recontly adopted by Con-,
ggess, he said 30 was not in favor Of
tho ono relative to negro suffrage, but
accoptcd it as the bost he could get.
IIo was in favor Of full and impair
tial suffrage, aud he would try, by
every means IN his power, in what
over position lie might be placed, to-
socuro it. In concluding his spccch,
the general said that unloss tho peo-
plc Of Ghe, North were firm in uphold

their work Of tho last four years to do
over again.

The Meeting Last Night.

The meeting at the Court House last
night was immense! Following so closely
upon the grand popular demonstration of
the 22d, it exhibited rather an increase than
a diminutiOn of the enthusiasm the people
feel in their support of the President and
the Constitution ofthe United States. But
in addition to the emphatic Endorsement
given by the people last night to the truly
national policy that Mr.. johnson has in
augurated, there was another sentiment,
local in its character pronounced with
equal emphasis and creating equal popular
enthusiasm. 1t was that of unqualified
condemnation of the proscriptive, illiberal
and bigoted partisan policy recommended
by the Governor and pursued by the Leg
islature of this State. The unanimous eX-
preston of the immense meeting,last night
was one of determined opposition to the
Radical party that has atte npted to keep
itself in power by DISTINGUISHING and os-
tracising all who differ with it in political
opinion, and which, while violating the
Constitution and every principle of right,
has attempted to abolish not only the free
dom of elections but also freedom of speech
and of the press. "'' HH"
Last night the knell of Radicalism in this
State was sounded. Henceforth prOserip-
tion aud persecution hasten to their death,
Let them be buried out of sight and have
no resurrectiol during all the years that
we hope for the existence of the Republic
and OF the State. In spite oftest oatlIs and
registration acts and disabling laws of
every kind, the popular will shall yet tri-
umph and popular rights shall yet be se-l
cured. There is no such word as UaiL-=s

forts to restore the Union under the Consti-

retary, and VIM. Veach, Assistant Secre-
tary. r 5L5 r-3uw ars ss -rr
Mr.. Bell, on taking the chair, stated the

The Radical War on the Pres.
q fit fhapn NHf Uf.f 90 II

The Radicals have opened a vigorous and
practical campaign against the President. q
The committee appointed at the caucus last
Friday evening Is thorough, and intense In
its determination for break with Mr..
johnson. 1t has had several meetings on
the subject, and has resolved to raise
$4,000 by levy upon offiee-hOldeTs, and by
subscription, for the vigorous prosecution
of the war. 1t has decided to print and
circulate enormous editions of Trumbulrsi
and Fessenden's replies to the veto message,
and of the elaborate and virulent attack
made upon the President few days since
| in the House by Mr.. Williams of Pennsyl-
ivania. Ithas made an assessment of $40
Iupon each of the Union members of Con-
| gTess, some of whom have paid up, and
others areholding the matter under con-
| sideration. They propose also to make
Jay Cooke Treasurer of the organization,
and to take rooms on Pennsy sylvania-ayenu
as the headquarters of the new crusade.
AS everybody anticipated, Col. Forney, ID.
| D., has lost no time in presenting himself
as a candidate for the hOnors and rewards
of martyrdom. He has sent an elaborate
memorial to the committee representing
that the Chronicle is losing concern and
appealing to them and their constituents
for substantial aid. The committee voted
to give him their printing, and to pay for
and circulate as public documents, such
editorials as may serve their turn. It,is
understood that the committee is also de-
liberating upon the most feasible means Of
crushing out all opposition in the Union
ranks to their designs.--W dsllington Cores

The Meeting of Last Night.

There was hearty and enthusiastic OUT
pouring of the people last night in attend
ance upon the meeting at the great hall of
the Maryland Institute, to iDdorse and sus-
tain President johnson in his policy for re-
storing all the States of the Union to their
righttul relations under the Constitution.
A more spontaneous and earnest demOn-
stration was never made in the city of Bal
timore, nor one animated by better spirit.
The appreciation of the great constitutions
al principles upon which the President
stands in the present crisis was most en-
phatic, by men without distinction of party
and in all the walks and employments Of
life. 1t was gratifying to see this unison of
action once more among our fellow citi-
zens, on the commoniplatform of the Con-
stitutiOn, and the fact was felicitously re-
ferred to by Lieut.. Gov. Cox in his OPENING
remarks when called to preside. May they
continue thus to stand together not only
through the present crisis, but forever in
the Union of their fathers. Time foTbids
further reference here now to this glorious
demonstration, so becoming to Marylandin
every regard, and which is but reflex of
the sentiment of the masses throughout
her borders.-BaltimOre Sun, Feb. ~. 1hl .s
