One end fof this looked like a bureau, with the 'drawers open, and filled with blacks and a few whites. The blacks were, mostly grinning with delight.

[Uong and continued applause.] (Jeneral Dix then announced that tho proceedings would be opened with prayer, and the |{ev. .J.N.

On motion of Mr. Kandall, Postmas-ter-general, the following geutteinen were appointed Secretaries of the Convention: E. 0. Perriu, of New York John F. Coyle, District of Columbia A. It. Potts, Pennsylvania and James it. O'Brien, District of Columbia.

The call of the Convention having been read by Secretary Perriu, Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin, offered the following resolutions, which were adopted: ltemi/ri ,1. That until otherwise ordered, the genei-al rules of the House of'Representatives of the United States, so far as applicable, govern the proceedings of this Convention aud until otherwise ordered, in case any question shall arise to be determined by division or by any yeas and nays, the Secretary shall call the roll of all the States and Territories of the United States, and the District of Columbia. Each State, as called, shall be entitled to east double the number of votes to which it is entitled in the Electoral College, as the delegation shall determine and each Territory, and also the District of Columbia, shall be entitled to cast two votes, as tlieir several delegations shall direct.

Ritnlrrd, That all resolutions and propositions not relating to the organization of the Convention, be referred by the Chair to the Committee on Resolutions hereafter to bo appointed without debate, and that all resolutions, propositions and (juestions relating to the right or claim of any person to a seat in the Convention, be referred by the Chair to the Committee on Credentials, horeafter to be appointed, without debate, aud that until the appointment of such committee they do lie on the table without debate.

On motion of General J. B. Stcediuan, of Ohio, a committee of thirteen was appointed by the Chair as a Committee on Credentials.

On motion of Mr. Montgomery Blair, of Maryland, a aoniinmittee of.one from each State and Territory was appointed by the Chair to report officers lor tho permanent organization of the Convention.

Mr. Thomas B. Florence, of the District of Columbia, suggested that, inasmuch as there was great misapprehension as to the character of the delegations, the Secretary be directed to read the circular issued over the signatures of Post-mastcr-general Kandall, Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, and Montgomery Blair, of Maryland, inviting the co-operation of Democrats, as such, in the Convention. If there was any significance in reading the original call, ho thought it quite as important, in order to relievo any misapprehension as.to the ]iositi(iu wbioli gentlemen occupied hero, that the supplementary call should also be read.

The Secretary in compliance with the request proceeded, to read, but had. not got through more than a few sentences, when Mr. Florence discovered that the paper which the Secretary was reading was the call signed by the Democratic members of Congress, lie called the at--1

Some things need to be done, and others need to bo undone. There arc commercial and financial reforms which are indispensable to the public welfare, but we shall not have the power to carry out these until we change the political complexion of Congress. [Applause.} This should

The control of one body will enable us to prevent partial. unjuM and pernicious legislation.

love

how I would act-if I was a good Chris-!

Here we have the germ of salvation, but not any for Me! I don't believe iu sieli stylo of religion. That is the old fogy style. That is the foreign style. To be sure we all profess jt. but that is a pleasant religious gag, full 'of emptiness and signifying nothing. No church in the United States, so-called could, gain a convert oil the platform of

JOKUK.

That is in the play, but not iu the reality. The man who lives up the religion of the bible is a copperhead, and the truth is not iu liiin. Wliy bless u«—if the Saviour should come again on earth and preach that, sermon on the Mount I'd help crucify him—I'd mob him—I'd swear lie was a thief, a traitor, a copperhead, a libertine, a bad man and a lover of the South!

You see all of us Christains have improved on the Nuw Testament. We attend Church for effect! There are a few who attend aud tire honest in tlieir professions, but they arc copperheads, and we'd sooner give Christ the lie, ignore his teachings, play hppocritc and trump, tramp, tramp through purgatory with John Brown and others ol the illustrious abolition dead than-go to Heaven with copperheads, democrats, poor people and honest Christains. 1 joined the church boeause it was fashionable. I wanted iuflueucc. I put a false label over my forehead on which was written "rcpentence," and with a sneaking, solomn, canting, puritautical, bean-eating visago held out my band for the communion, and munched the sacred ..bread with the -gravity of au ape eating crackers. I did it for effect. The label "repentcnce," deceives all but God. TIo reads, stamped on my forehead—graven on my heart, seared on my soul, that I am a sinner, a hypocrite, a liar, a mockoc deceiver, a whited sepulchre full of deceit and unplcanness."

I wanted popularity. People think that because a mail is a church member hois a cliristainl Pali!—lean attend church—can rant, bellow and shout-with the best. Then I can go home, sleep, eat, scold, fret, post, books," read political newspapers, lay plans to overreach my riches. And 1 can lie about my goods, can be hoggish, selfish, dishonest, tricky and deceitful, all the better because I am a church member, and church members protect their own. There are some good men and some good women in the churches of the Lord and I'll take refuge behind their characters, bring reproach upon them, weaken their influence, disgust, sinners with Christianity, insult my Redeemer any finally wind up my career in hell, where I ought to be.

A dispatch froito"Philadelphia, of August 7tb, to the Cincinnati Timr.t of last week says: ''In a speech at Boston, last evening Senator Wilson denounced the President in terms at once severe and ungracious, and declared that the people would prove this fall that every one of the Southern States .must pass the Constitutional Amendment 'He deolared it as his opinion that the President would be impeached next winter /"unless" a change

place this fall. -lfThe speech was received with great applause." One part of the Radical to impeach itjjd turn tho President out of office, and put one of their own creatures in. That was shown by Mr. Raymond's disclosures of the caucus of Is Radical Congressmen. Mr. Wilson con-

pperbead. brutal during the war, or he is timc-scrv-, ing now, nud he is afraid to leave the company of the President. So-long as he stauds with Mr. Johnson he la sure of'y protection against tho Copperheads, .jffho',. hate him. Cau Cougress, or tho liadicajs outside of ic,-protect him'! I suppose not. Mr. Stanton perceives the faet,,ahd moans to save himself, (from pefsocutiop^J, if ho can—caring more for-tho Immediate present than fpr the future.' j['

firnis it. The whole proceeding is very plain. If tho Radicals succeed at the elections this fall, they will claim that they have tho sanction of the people for deposing the President, and they will do so. They will then have one of their--, own creatures for President—Wade we suppose. Congress and the President will tliien he in- harmony. The Southern States will' be declared military provinces and be governed-by military officers. The lands will .be confiscated and divided among,, the blacks. The blacks will bo enfranchised and the rebels disfranchised. In that way,"- the election' of the next arid succeeding Presidents'will'be-' all as the Radicals desire. Of course all .' that is on the idea that the President will allow himpplf io bo deposed*- by a rump Congress, which may not be tho tho case,.but pf wlnch wo can say nothing-

It is well, however, the people should look this thiug,tight in tho f«oe, and make up their minds how they should act in the premises Shall the Radicals be sus-v' tained in their efforts to revolutionize the Government, and inaugurate a neighbor-hood-waT all over the North,, or shall the President be sustained in his efforts to quiet tho country and restore the .Union on its old basis of the' equality of tho States? This thing of attempting of depose Jio President under the circumstance and in the presontcohditidh'oftlie country, can not but be disastrous to tlrtr peace'of' the countryand stability of'tlie Governmcnt. Those in favor of revolution-and" another civil war will ?v6te so as to encour-
