Gentlemen IL have recently been laboring under the

radicals, like Boutwell, and red
mouthed radicals, like Brown,ow, who
have both danced about on every
point as to slavery-hoot at, and
howl at, the Democrats, the Seward
ties, the DoolittIes, the Elk Secession
lists, all soon, in imitation of these
precedents in 1855, 1860 and 1864,
to assemble in convention. They de-
n ,unce the use by their opponents Of
the very means through which they
got into power, viz: the ignoring of
the past, and the sole contemplation
Of the future! There is danger, from
the assembling Of such men in one
hail, but'no more danger than the
Republicansexp in 1856, 1860
and 1864. Discordant men are often
from the necessity of the case, the
most harmonious in action, because
they are necessarily the most on their
guard. We hope to see men thus on
their guard in the Philadelphia Con-
vention. If there be here any North
ern or Southern fools full of fighting
speeches, their proper places are in
the back ground. Harmony, order,
peace, are the only elements that
should reign in that convention; and
there come from the Republican party
votes enough TO give US Connections,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, with a
great many more votes in other States
soon, under the lead of the great
States to give us three-fourths of the
Northern States in the Union. Hence
every delegate in TINT convention
sho'd subordinate all his isprejudices and
passions to common sense, and seek
only the public veal, without refer

The Philadelpnia Convention.

As the hour approaches for the as
sembling of this Important body, the
interests and the a. xiety increase re-
specting its proceedings The sources
of the anxiety are
Its discordent materials, which may
by silly speeches or more serious quar-
rels, destroy all its efficiency, and thus
do more hahn than good.
Discordant materials are nothing
new in great convention. The old
Wing party in 1S34--36 was formed
of the most discordant mrterials-Fed-
eralists, Democrats, Anti Masons,
Abolitionists, Pro-Slavery men, &c.,
a material as disoordant as could be
well gathered; and yet in 1886, it al
most whipped the hitherto invincible
Democratic party, and in 1910, rout.
cd it, with "Tippecanoe and Tyler

ocrats.
In 1856 the Fremont party was
formed, made up Of everything and
anything, Wings, Anti-Masons, Barn.
burners, Free soil DEMOCRATS, Tenn
perance men Anti-Temperance men,
&c, &c..--and but for the running of
Mr. Fillmore by the Old Line Wings,

The NATIONAL UNIoS CONVENTION,
now in session at Philadelphia, and of
which we give the proceedings up to
the close of the second day, seems thus
far to progress as auspiciously as the
most earnest friends Of tho Union and
this spontaneous uprising in its bohalf,
could desire. There is an evident de.
termination on the part Of those who
are of necessity leaders in tie move
ment, that there shall be nothing
that lacking patriotism, discretion,
craftsmanship orpolitical sagacity can
suggest to insure once more between
the lately-dissevered States, "more
perfect union and such unanonimity
Of action among all who desire peace,
unity and National prosperity, as will
insure a complete triumph of the
Presidential Policy in the issue soon
to be tried before the people at the
polls.

Philadelphia Convention.
PHILAnELpHIA. Aug. II.

At 1890 p. NJ, Mr.. Randall ope'
cd the convention by saying: Gentle
men-I have to announce the dele
gates from South Carolina, and Mas
sachusetts will now come arm ant
arm inta this canTrg dndence rising
TO their feet, and the band playing
'the flag Of our Union" John A.
Hogan, from the stage, when quiet
ness had become restored, proposed
three cheers for President johnson.
The organization Of the convention
was then effected by the election oi
General John A. Dix, as temporary
chairman. Messrs. +. o. Perrin, OF
New York, John A. Coyle, of the
District of Columbia, A. r. Potts, of
Pennsylvania, and James r. O'Brien,
were then chosen temporary seereta-
ries. The announcement of General
Dix was received with the greatest
enthusiasm. Gen. Dix said that he
received the honor conferred on him
with great pride, and especially re-
cognized the Importance Of the con-
veRtion. No body of men have met
on this continent to consider events
so momentous to the country since
1776. We are now here to vindi-
cate and restore the constitution,
which was then framed. To render
firm and indissoluble the Government
which our fathers framed and put in
oporation-to defend and to main
tain it. We are not now living under
such government. Eleven States
have been unrepresented in Congress-
Tennessee has at length been allowed
presentation, but ten other States
have as yet no representation in the
legislation of the country.
Mr.. Randall addressed the conven-
ton asking it to come to order for
the purpose of alfording a temporary
organization and proposed the name
of Gen. John a. Dix, of New York,
as temporary chairman of this con-
vention. (Applause)
Gen. Dix taking the stand, said:
Gentlemen Of the convention and fell
low citizens Of the whole United
States. (Cheers.) i thank you for the
honor you have done me in choosing
me to preside temporarily over your
deliberation. / regard it as distinc-
ton of no ordinary character, not only
on account of the high standing of
the gentlemen who compose this con-
vention, but because it is oonven-
tion Of the people of all the States of
this Union. (Applause.) Because thore
is no doubt Of its propriety and pat
Tiotism that its proceedings will be
conducted with becoming prudence
and good management and that it
will lead to most important results
Ii may be truly said that no body of
mon have met in this continent to con-
sider events so momentous and so inn
portant since the year 1877, since
when our ancestors assembled in the
old Congress and formed govern
ment which has been confirmed and
made more enduring as we aourished
by the fearful trials which it has en-
countered and still remains the same
strong and popular Government.
The Constitution which they COM
bined to form, vindicates and sustains
their wisdom and your patriotism
Applause.) We are here to assert the
supremacy of representative govern
ment over all who are within the con-
fines of the Union-a government
which cannot without violation of
its fundamental principles be extend
ed over any but those who are repre- !
sented in it--oyer those who, by vir-

The Southern Union Convention.

sst- PHILADELPHIA, Sept g.
The Convention re-assembled at 1880 A. M.
Gen. Speed in the Chair. Prayer was offered.
Several resolutions were offered by delegates.
iayoring negro suffrage. Resolutions were also
introduced opposing interference with the pol
icy Of Congress. Il (.
Mr.. Moss, of Virginia, advocated the adoption
of measures to insist on Congress providing for
the enfranchisement of blacks. sIll'
:, Mr Moss offered resolution instructing the
COMMITTEE on Resolutions to provide for con-
ferring suffrage upon all citizens without regard
to color. -s1 ssEgIf
This led to great confusion. Motions were
lost Fnay he hespie f8 Questions were
ordered, and the resolution was referred TO the
Committee on resolutions. Great excitement
prevailed during the debate.
Mr.. Thomas, of Maryland, said that if the
resolution was adopted he would be in favor of
enfranchising every rebel in his State This
occasioned much kissing and confusion.
A delegate moved to adjourn to 10 A. NJ. to-
morrow stating that he understood the Com
mittee on Resolutions and Address would not
be prepared to report until tomorrow morning.
Mr. Thomas, of Maryland, explained that his
remark relative to negro suffrage was misun-
derstood; so far as voting to enfranchse rebels.
he would not do it, so help him God.
1t was announced that arrangements had
been made for proceedings tonight, with the
view to the fusion of Northern and Southern
delegates. The Convention then adjourned
until 10 A. M. tomorrow
LATER.-The Committee on Resolutions are
sill in session at a late hour tonight, and are
said to have nearly completed their labors.-
The resolutions viii conform to the address,
and neither will allude in any manner to the
subject of negro suffrage, but wilt fully endorse

member of this committee from Alabama Al
bert Griffin, quit the committee in disgust when
it almost unanimously rejected the assertion
that universal suffrage, the only remedy for the
woes Of the Southern loyalists The address s.
able and patriotic, and an eloquent appeal to

evils that have befallen the loyal men of the
South since the full developmvnt of the policy

LIE PRESIDENT AT CLEvELAND.-hIr. john
son, who has been extremely hilarious during
SO much of his Northern progress as he en-
countered only adulation and flattery, seems to
have lost his temper at once when called upon
to encounter any opposing sentiment. At
Cleveland, the motley crowd which gathered
to scrutinize the countenances of the distin-
guished party, although ready to cheer Gener-
al Grant TO the echo, were not to be misrepre-
sented as agreeing with the President in his
denunciation of Congress. When he attempt-
ed to address them he was interrupted with
cneers for Grant, (who was too ill to be presently
witn cheers for Congress, seornful references to
we" orleans, and inquiries why he did not

got mad, declared that he didn't care a flo for
his official dignity" and proceeded 10 nroye
that he did notby pitching into regular black
guarding match with the "roughs" of the
crowd In this encounter the President seem
ed very much in his element The "game"
qualities of which no one has ever doubted his
possession, came out under the influence of op-
position, and setting aside all considerations of
dignity and propriety we are free to admit that
Mr.. johnson appeared to much better advant-
age than in any of his other public perform
ances during this trip. But the spectacle OF
their Chief Magistrate chatting and bandying
coarse ephithets with street mob, for the
crowd around Mr. johnson was plainly nothing
eise, Is one to which the American people have
ho' oeeh accustomed, and which they can
hardly regard with pleasure OF approval. 'ia
