show of numbers as possible, the ''dele-
gates" assembled at National Hall, when
Thomas J. Durant, of Louisiana, was cleo
ted President. The Convention then pro-
ceeded to appoint committee on creden-
tlals, also a committee on permanent organ
ization. I,gf f....
The Northern delegates met by them
selves, so that the grand sight Of Parson
Brownlow and Fred. Douglass walking in-
to the, Convention arm in arm did not take
place. Fred. was saved this disgrace. His
cicerone was no less an individual than
Theodore Tilton, of the Independent -
Their appearance arm in arm in the streets
Of Philadelphia was hailed with delight by
the degraded wretches who glory in this
beastly carnival Of amalgamation.
The Southern branch Of the partl-colored
convention ofAbolitionists continued their
performances at the Negro Minstrel Hall
in Philadelphia. The permanent organiza-
ton was completed by announcing Ex-At-
torney-General Speed, of Kentucky, as
President, sixteen individuals as Vice.
Presidents, and the same number as Secre-
taries. A delegation of strong minded fe-
males, under command of Miss Dickinson,
entered the hall and distributed themselves
among the Vicc-Presidents on the plat
form or the delegates on the floor Mr.
Speed delivered somewhat lengthy ad-
dress OH taking the chair. Committees on
Resolutions and on the address of the Con-
vention were appointed. A resolution de-
manding the publication by President
Johnson of the proceedings Of the Militia
ry Commission investigating the New Or
leans riots, was referred. A resolution
favoring negro suffrage, raised a storm
which did not subside, until the President
commanded order with his gavel, and the
resolution was referred to the committee
for fair hearing. Other resolutions were
offered accepting the constitutional amend
ment, forgiving but not rewarding "seces-
sionists," and declaring that suffrage
should be conferred on none but the loyal
and intelligent.
At meeting of the Northern Govern
ors after the adjournment of the Northern
branch of the convention, it was determ-
ined not to endorse the Southern branch if
they should adopt resolutions in favor Of
negro suffrage. The delegation from New
York met yesterday morning, and General
Walbridge was chosen president, and
Jackson Schultz, Theodore Tilton and 9TH
ers vice-presidents. Mr.. Tilton proposed
that the plucard in front of the hall should
be corrected in its autobiography, and then
in a speech moved the admission of Fred.
Douglass, which was agreedto, Mr.. Doug
lass being placed above Tilton's. The
members named then proceeded to Horti-
cultural Hall, where the Northern wing
was assembled, with Governor Curtin in
the chair. Fred. Douglass, Senator Chan
dler, and General Lane, of Indiana, made
speeches of considerable length. Senator
said that If Andrew johnson
did not execute the laws Congress would
impeach him. In the evening Governor
made speech at the League
House, in which he indulged in the usual
invective and coarse abuse of the Presi-
dent. Governor Hawley and General
Burnside addressed crowd in front of the
National Hall last night, and the Rev. Mr..
Newman, of New Orleans, addressed the
New Jersey delegation. ..
