At q meeting of the chairmen of the various
delegations, last evening, the following business
was agreed upon Each delegation is to report
one of its number for vice president; one for Sc
cTetary two for the committee on finance TIVE
for the national Union committee; two for the
committee to wait upon the President with re-
port Of the proceedings of the convention; one
for the committee on credentials; one for that
upon organization; and two upon resolutions and
addresses.
There will be no discussion on the resolutions.
The interchange of opinions among the dele
gates has exhibited unanimity of sentiment upon
this subject that forbids discussion. The resolu-
tons will substantially embrace the propositions
for the call for the convention which is honestly
and cordially approved by all delegates here,
North or South, Republican or Democratic.
1t is proposed thatsshe convention shall issue
general address to the country, and that in addi-
ton to the address Of the convention proper,
Southern delegates shall unite in separate ad-
dress stating more in detail the position they oc-
cupy the reasons by which they are influenced,
and the results hoped to be obtained
An informal meeting was held last evening Of
soldiers Of both the Northern and Southern armes,
in which proposition was made and received
with favor to call convention of soldiers Of the
two armies, at some central point, within few
weeks, where men who fought bravely against
each other may meet in spirit of conciIiation and
determine TO sand together in maintaining the
Union and the Constitution
Governor Orr spoke at the National Girard Hal
Iast nignt, and SAID the people Of the South be-
ileVed tney mad the right to secede, the North did
not agree, and the question was submitted to the
arbitrament of arms The Northern interpreta-
tion Of the Constitution has been firmly and legally
esta6lished. That decision was pronounced on
the Held OF battle and the decree Is ncontroVert-
BILE. The South has surrendered her principles,
and accepts the Northern Interpretation. We are
willing to abide by it forever. By this war the
people of the South have, to very large extent
gtFIuDe1 be
gone, and their credit Is gone. In my locality ahe
great stand point Of the civil laws has been lest,
thus the people Of the South have far mere Rs4A
of stable government than you have, and i& n
mere folly to charge that they will not fn6l helE
| oaths to support the government. We claim tn
as our government as well as yours, but that we
may be equal we must have representation in Coz
gress 1t is not just to tax and exclude US froM
representation.
