The Soldiers Convention.

The proceedings of the Cleveland Convention,
says the Enquirer, are among the most cheering
of the signs of the times. The number, rank,
and popularity of the military leaders there as
sembled, give assurance that what they think
and say, will make powerful impression thro'
out the North; and their proceedings show
that they have spoken in strain very differerlt
from that of the men who would shed the Elood
of war in time of peace. The voice of the Cleve-
land Convention is the voice of the braves who
fought the battle, and won the victory the
cutlery of Stevens and Sumner, and such as they,
are the clamors of the squaws, who wish to tor,

This is movement which meets the cordial

The Richmond Wing. speaking oftbe hitte

The Richmond Whig speaking fthe bitter
ness of the political warfare waged against Pres
ident Johnson, by the Radical party, is reminded
of the time when Andrew Jackson was fighting
his battle against the United States Bank. An
drew jackson, it says, had to breast storm
as terrible as that encountered by President
johnson" and concludes its article as follows :
THE President has no bitterer enemies than
General Jackson had He has a better cause,
and his opponents, though numbering many
men OF substance, have not the great bank of
the United States to sustain them with its money.
While he does not mince his words, he is not SO
violent, offensive and uncompromising as old
Hickory. Has he the old hero s will, courage
and thoroughness? Will he, like him, throw his
whole heart soul and strength into the struggle,
and employ all the means at his command to
achieve success? Upon these considerations
depend, in a great measure, the issue of the
struggle. We should not despair while he lives
to conduct the conflict, while the shrewdest man
in all America, Mr.. Seward) is his adviser and
friend and while, as there are many reasons to
believe, the most popular man with the North
ern masses, Gen. Grant, is cooperating with
him. Gen. Grant is good for a half-million
votes to any cause he may choose to espouse
and if it come to hard blows, his very name
will be tower of strength to the side he takes.

The National Intelligencer says: s'The ia
collins of the French Revolution were as loud
in their professions of devotion to freedom as
are the Radicals, but they were not the less
reyolutionists. Men must be judged not less
by the legitimate tendency of their principles
than by their loud mouthed protestations. The
assumption of the power of excluding States
from Congress is the essence Of dsloyalty to the
sacred charter of our liberties, and no matter
what the pretext or what the object, stamps its
advocates as rebellious in spirit and tyrannical
In purpose.

Brownow stated in New York and in Boston,
that he, had made arrangements for arms and
men for the avowed purpose of resisting any
political demonstration that may be made in the

Brownlow makes but one speech, and that is

Mr.. Davis is reported to have said to Bishop
Greene, that his effort to procure his Mr.. u. 81
release would be futile; that his counsel, Mr..
O'Connor, and more lately the Hon. VIM. b.
Reid, had both personal interviews with the
President for the same object, and the only
answer to their petitions was, that he DAVIS
would have to be tried under the charges now

now unforeseen circumstance should transpire II

THE PRESIDENT AND THE IRISH The Presi-

of Irishmen, who asked relief from certain griey-

of million of Irish voters in the Unitd States.
They want some changes in the Cabinet, and
among the American consuls in Ireland, and
the appointment of Irish citizens to Office in
ratable numbers .tsf4
The President, in reply, said he felt the force
of their suggestions, and would do all he could
to crafty them He strongly sympathized with
our Irish citizens, and would promote their
interests in every way in his power.

steps at Louisville, thirtynine little girls scat
tered flowers before him, and as he stopped to
kiss one of them, handed him petition for the

call him blessed. Heaven bless the children
