RoadfnB the Address.
The correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel, writing from
Philadelphia, says:
1 have never seen men so earnest in
their desire for Cancellation and peace
as the members of the Convention
from the Northern and Western
States, nor have I ever heard the
radicals so thoroughly denounced,
even in the South, as they are by
these men who live among them.
For the South and Southern people,
they express the kindest feelings and
most anxious solicitude. They recog-
nize and appreciate the great sacri-
fees which have been made at the
South, and feel keenly the deep hu-
Mutations to which. we have been
subjected by the "rump Congress.
With these feelings and considera-
tions moving and actuating them, it
is not to be wondered at that the
reading of the resolutions and ad-
dress in the Convention to-day re-
ceived the most enthusiastic and
deafening applause. All seemed to
feel that Il great weight had been sud-
denly lifted from them, and in the
Joy OF the moment sprang to their
feet and made the air ring with wild
shouts of approval. For some mo-
ments after the reading of the resolu-
tions. the immense and excited
throng stood with heads uncovered
and hats aud handkerchiefs waving in
the air, giving the most extravagant
exhibitions Of delight and approval.
have never seen anything like the
enthusiasm which was here manifest
ed, and L have no doubt but that the
feelings aroused to-day will be kept
alive i'll the breasts of the people
until the radical cohorts shall have
surrendered to the party which has
this day been organized.
During these enthusiastic demon
strations of approval, l noticed that
the Southern men very gen nerally kept
quiet and apparently unmoved. This
was i'll view of the fact that any other
course would have been made the
preteXt, by the radicals, Of assailing
tho proceedings, by declaring that ali
the enHuSiAsna was exhibited by the
South, and that the whole affair was
but another Southern victory. The
Southern men .feH as much, perhaps,
as the Northern, but the schools of
adversely in which they have been
for the last five years taking sad and
mournful lessons, taught them that to
repreSs, fox the moment at least, any
exhibition of warm approval would
most contribute to the main object in
view.
