PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14.-The
Convention assembled at twelve
thirty p. NJ. Randall opened the
Convention saying: Gentlemen [
have to announce that delegates
from South Carolina and Massachu-
setts will enter the Convention arm
in-arm. This announcement was
received with great applause, the
audience rising and Gov. Orr, of
South Carolina, and Gen. Couch of
Massachusetts, arm-in- arm, marched
in at the head of delegations, ban
ners flying and music playing. Tears
filled eyes of delegates and specta-
tors, while shouts rent the air. Gen.
Dix being nominated for Chairman
pro tenn, said, I regard this Conven-
ton rs one of no ordinary charac-
ter, not only on account of the high,
social and political standing Of the
gentlemen who compose the Con
vention, but because it is conven-
tion of the people of all States ofthe
Union, and because we cannot doubt
of it's proceedings being conducted
with harmony and good Judgment,
and that 1T will lead to most import
ant results. 1t may be said that no
body of men ever met on this CONT
ncnt under circumstances so mo-
mentous and important, since 1856,
tho year when our ancestors assem-
bled in this city to form q better
government for the States which
composed the old confederation, a
government which had been con-
frmed and made more enduring as
we trust by the fearful trials and
perils it has encountered and over
come. Ten States yave yet no Rep
rcsentatives in the legislature ofthe
country. Against this wrong, we
have como here to protest, and in as
much as in our power lies to redress.
When the President of tho United
States declared the war closed, all
the States had the right of Repre-
sentation. The existing ofnew con-
ditions is subsersive Of our National
liberty, and dangerous to public
peace, he trusted that in the delibc-
ration of this body the main idea
would be to change the present COM
plexion of Congress to justify the
Republic and bring it back to its
original standard-one country, one
flag, and ono Union of equal States.
After the appointment of Com
mittees on Credentials, Organiza
