Convention without difficulty. I hope Tith
ts0ut delay the Convention will amend tn
Estate Constitution, Sbolishng slavsry, anv
denying future Legislative power to legislatu
on property in man. If you could extenC
the elective franchise 10 all persons of colo
who can read the Constitution and writ,
their names, and to all persons Of color wht
own real estate valued at not less than $3.50
and pay taxes thereon, you would completely
disarrn the adversary and set an example thai
other States will follow. This you can dc
with perfect safety, and you thus place the
Southern States, in reference to free persons
of color, upon the same basis with the free
States. l hope and trust your Convention
will do this, and as a consequence, Radicals
who are wild upon negro franchise, will be
completely foiled in their attempts to keep
the Southern States from renewing their re-
lations to the Union by aot accepting their
Senators and Representatives.

President U. S.
The Pennsylvania Republican Convention
yesterday nominated Gen. John W. Gearv,
Governor, on the first ballot, and adopted
resolutions declaring that the work of re-
construction belongs to Congress: that the
national faith be pledged for the payment of
the public debt, and protection given to free
men, and praising Gov. Curtin and Secretary
Stanton, and requesting Senator Cowan to
resign.
CHICAGO, March 8.-The- Pennsylvania
Democratic Convention, On the 9Th, nominat-
ed Hester Clymer, of Berks county, for Gov
ernor, on the fourth ballet, over George W.
CasS, the President of the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad. The resolu-
lions declare that the States, whereof the
majority of the people were lately in rebel
ion, are integral parts OF the Union, and en-
titled to representation in Congress, by men
duly elected, who bear true faith to the Cou-
;titution and laws, and such representatives
should be forthwith admitted that the bold
of the policy of restoration con-
dent Johnson, and the veto of The Freed
mems Bureau Bill, entitled him to the conf j
1ence and support of all who respect the
Constitution and love their country that
each State has the exclusive right to regulate
he qualifications of its own electors, the
white race alone entitled to the control of the
and we are unwilling TO grant
The neRrJes the right to vote.
Mr.. Clymer accepted the nomination in a
speech, saying the nation was in peril, and
The Democracy must rally to the support of
he President, who has appealed in terms of
patriotic devotion to his whole country.

Henderson of Missouri offered resolution
declaring Congress the sole power TO deter

ng the joint committee to report law under
which States may be organized. aeFs
The very emphatic manner in which Secre-
AIRY Seward, in conversation with certain
members of Congress, affirmed that the late
position taken by the President, was assumed
through his influence, has excited much re-
mark.
Raymond, in a dispatch to the New York
Times, denounced the statement AS mali
:ious peryersion and will probably obtain
satisfaction of hearing what Seward did say,
,elated on the floor of the House. The con-
was forced upon those who heard
he language. He reiterated the endorsement
IN every point in the Presidents speech, and
iaid, in his own opinion there was not at
present a single traitor in the South.
In the House of Commons on the 23d, La
pouch called attention to the neutrality law
md argued revision. The Attorney Gen

,ut defended the course of the Government
Turing the American war.
Watkins asked if representations had been
made to the American Government relative
% the Fenian proceedings.
Gladstone regretted that the subject had
,een brought up. He said this Governments
of the proceedings justify the re
presentation, but he believed the publicopin-
on in America condemns the movement 1t
would be undignifed to demonstrate as long
is no public act had been committed
