Resoluea, That in the rehabitations of the
rebel communities, the first and highest duty
Of the government is to look 10 and provide
for the protection Of those who, under perse-
cution and oppression, remained loyal to the
United States and that as enc result Of the

CONSERVATIVE MEETING IN OLD
Smith
Speeches by Judge Barry, Coz. Garrett
and Col. Head.

@-N'---e@
Correspondence Of the Union and Americana
CARTHAGE August q, 1866 To-day,
pursuant to previous announcement, Chan
cellor BARRY spoke here. The day was
rainy from early morning, and therefore the
audience was rather small but, rainy as it
was, there were persons present from every
part of the county Of Smith. The Judge
spoke nearly two hours, and was listened to
with marked attention. Among other things
he said the Radical faction was attempting
to do what JEFFERSON DAVIS failed to do
He tried to take eleven States out Of the
Union and that faction IS trying to keep
them out The Radicals are, therefore,
more inexcusable disunionists than Mr.
DAVIS and his coadjutOrs. The war" said
he, against the Southern disunionists was
waged for the restoration and maintenance
Of the Union under the Constitution, and
for nothing else"
He gave history of the formation and
adoption of the Constitution, and showed
that 1t was formed and modelled in the in
terest Of freedom. TO this Constitution,
and this free government, said he, 1 am de-
voted. This Government, he repeated, is
founded in benevolenee and kindness to all
men, without regard to race or color. 1t
knows no malice, and no vindictiyeness.
The great error Of radicalism is that it sup
poses men can be made to love by force. 1t
is only kindness, clemency, msgnanimity
and generosity, that will elicit respect and
esteem. Upon this point the Judge was elo-
quent in argument, appealing TO the noble
feelings and impulses Of the human heart, 10
lay aside passion, prejudice and hate and
come together on the broad and generous
platform Of the Philadelphia Convention.
He said the greatest lie Of the 18th cen
tury was the statement that the Southern
people we're DESTROYS of returning the negroes
to slavery. Instead Of this, he declared that
the Southern people have accepted the free
dom of the negro in good faith, and they
intend to maintain it in good faith. Before
God, said he, would give every colored
man home, if it we're in my power, and all
the means of happiness, and this is the sem
timent of the Southern people, and they are
slanderers who state otherwise.
TheJudge read the Philadelphia platform
and took the vote on il, and it was unani-
mOusly adopted. The speech was good
one, and was heartily endorsed
When he closed Colonel GARRETT being
called for, gave most hopeful view of the
future, derived from what he had seen and
heard at the late great Convention. He
spoke especially of the great movement of
the Union soldiers headed as it is, by the
Generals who Jed them to victory in the late
struggle. The Col. was unusually happy in
his brief remarks
He was followed by Col. JOHN w. HEAD,
who delivered few remarks III the spirit of
calmness and kindness. He, too, and from
a Southern standpoint, denounced as SLAM
derous the charge that the Southern people
have not accepted in good faith the results
of the late contest, and especially in regard
to the abolition of slavery. The meeting
was good one, and the results will be good.

says the Tribune, "will make no objection to
his color" The Tribune adds:
'Such recognition of the stake his race
have in the country is in noble contrast with
the admission Of the worst of rebels to the
RANDALL Convention. Mr.. DOUGLASS has
said little publicly, since his interview with
the President, in February, when Mr.. JoHN-
son was considerably startled by his replies,
and, after making long speech, declined 10
enter into any discussion. The Union party
is perfectly willing-nay, anxious-that the
loyal colored men should have a voice in its
