A Herald correspondent at Cronsta-lt. Huasift, says of the reception given our naval representatives iu that city and St. I'etcrsburpi "The tlags of the Km pi re and Republic were intimately blended in the decoration of the festive halls and the portraits of Washington, the Crar, Lincoln ami Johnson were suspended over the principal chairs. The names of Sitiope Revel, New Orleans, Sebastapol, Fort Fisher, Charleston, and other places of battles of Russia and America, formed the mottoes. At one banquet the health of he President of the United States was toasted before that of the Czar—an honor never before paid by the

Russians to a foreign ruler. The people were I

It is the theory that will preserve to the poor tax ridden man the fruits of his labor. It is the theory that, will preserve the country from the hands of the Radical disunionists lately assembled at Philadelphia-who are grand architects of ruin. It will preserve the country from the plan recommended at the Rndical

Convention at Philadelphia of arming and equipping the negro to lord over the whiter ace at the South.

It is the theory that will save the country from anarchy and blood shed. It is the theory that will give us prosperity at home and respect throughout the world.

Another Misrepresentation.

Mr. BowEns in his letter which we published liiet week, referred to his financial difficulties. The Journal uses his words to make him appear as if his political principles were controlled by money, attempting to have it inferred that pecuniary considerations arc governing him in his opposition to Mr. ORTH and his views on taxation. This is an unfair imputation and we trust it will be met by Mr. BOWZBS. He is well qualified by his talent to defend, himself, and we are mistaken in the

At the meeting of Radicals at Reading Pennsylvania, the President was called "the infamous traitor, made President by the pistol shot of Wilkes lJooth.

The rittsburg OnsrUe calls the President "this demagogue and ruffian."

The President of a meeting at which Senator Wilson spoke, designated Mr. Johnson as "a drunken trowsor-maker."

Thad. Stevens says the negroes are the equals of tho Germans and Irish that come to this country.

Ihe (.e.iMoii of the Convention of

Southern delegates to-day was an exceed* 'ngly stormy one. and the only wonder

now that it ih over is that it did not ad

journ in a large row an hour after meet

ing. 'I lu»c who were so elor|uent on be

half of free s-peeeh a few days since, and treated with .0 much scorn a proposition

looking to the cutting debate in

resolution.- expressing the sentiments of

the Coii\entioii, betnu to see that even

the muzzling process is not tin unmixed evil.

Tlu: Convention met at half past, ten,

and the Rev. Mr. Newman, of Xew Or-

leaus, yesterday elected Chaplain, opened

the proceedings with prayer. After invoking the Mivi:ie eo'operation for the

removal of all prejudice growing out of

race or color, the reverend gentleman

dwelt a little 011 the subject of reconstruction as follows. "Save us, we pray, from

partisan influences. Save us. we pray,

from outside pressure.'' This was a gen

tle hint to Providence to eall off the do"s

ol conservatism who are trying to bark

the Radical Southerners out of their convictions. Then Mr. Xewtnan called the

Lord's attention to the President in this u-wo '-Honr im w, bo-iPff.h fhep for our nation at large. Deliver us from the rule

of bad men—[Cries of Amen]—and es

pecially from him who. through satanie agencies, has been raised to authority

over us—[yells of Amen]—and who,

abusing that, authority is endeavoring not only to tilLe tin life of the Republic, but our personal liberty. [Shouts of'Amen.']

Great (iod, interfere. [Aniens, till it

seemed a.s if' the roof would fall.] Oil,

his ruinous policy, [aniens, and cric« ol"

Seward and ecd.and all them hounds.'] W 0 besecch Thee to discover to the Amer

ican people the base hypocrisy of that

party- that sustains hi 111. [-Allien,' louder than ever, including one from Ben. Wade,

who was 011 the platform.] Oh, send a

spirit from Thy throne to arouse the

American people in this tremendous hour.

[Aniens from all parts of the hall.] So iirou.se the clergy, the men who arc Thy

representatives, who are to declare the

eternal principles of religion and political justice, that they, in tit'-n. may arouse

their flocks to the danger which threat

ens tlicni. Save them, 0I1, Lord, from

the ravenous wolves that would destroy

them. So pour out Thy spirit that the

women and the children in the land shall be aroused to a sense of duty, to a sen«e

of sympathy, in this grand struggle.

['Amen.'] Now, hear us and answer us.

Preserve Thy servants before Thee: have

in Thy kind care and keeping their beloved families, far away, and grant that

in all our deliberations we may be guided

mies such conclusions as shall advance 1 religion and civilization, such conclusions

as shall redound to Thy glory. And to

the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, we will

ascribe c\crlasting praise, world without end. Amen."

Having said this, Mr. Newman took

his seat, and a disposition to applaud was manifest, throughout the audience."

The first, and, in fact, the only busi-

riess in order, was the report'of the Com

mittee 011 Resolutions and Address, ap

pointed yesterday. But it was known

that no report could be agreed upon at

least for an hour or two after the meeting

of the Convention, and an attempt was

made to beguile that interim with the

reading of letters from delegates who were olectcd but could not conic,

The material for this soon exhausted

itself, however, and there was great apprehension that a firebrand would be

thrown ill, in the shape of a resolution,

Co or cgt0

documents of this character were soon

offered, but the movers contented them

selves with their reading and reference

mittee will be ready to report to-morrow.

A perfect flood of oratory maj* be look

ed for from the delegates when the re

port is received. The understanding is that there is to be no limit to discussion

on the resolutions, and as there is scarce

ly a delegate who has not views to submit,

it is hard to tell when the labors of the

Convention may be expected to terminate.

There is a fight now going on in the

Committee on Resolutions on the ques

tion of suffrage, with a prospect of its

renewal in the Conwmtion to-morrow.

The address is being prepared by Senator Cresswell, aud will be reported by

that gentleman, without any direct rcf-

ference to the suffrage question. It is thought the resolutions will be tlie sub

ject of a big quarrel iu the convention.
