SECOND DISPATCH.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 3.—The National Democratic Convention met to-day in the Common Pleas Court room of the courthouse. Previous to and during the assembling of delegates the Second liegiment Nationnl Band, of Philadelphia, played various airs. Ataboutone o'clock Col. Duncan called the convention to order. Bev. Dr. Pratt addressed the Throne of Grace in an eloquent prayer for concord, peace and freedom from sectional jealousy throughout the land. COL. DUNCAN THEN SPOKE AS FOLLOWS

Gentlemen of the Convention—It is my duty to call this assemblage to order Its objects are well known and require no explanations. We have been derisively called bolters, mercenaries, etc., by the editors and politicians who have sought an alliance with a faction of the Radical party and who have abandoned all the principles which have hitherto characterized our organization. It is not my province to cast reflections upon the motives of those leaders in whose wisdom and judgment the party unfortunately confided. Their action is invalid and void. It has no binding effect upon other individual members of the party and it has already been repudiated by hundreds of thousands. No spirit of presumptious forwardness induced the gentlemen who acted with me to post .the American Democrats against the flagrant violation of party faith and the utter negatian of principle involved in the nomination of Mr. Greeley. We did it with a higher and a nobler motive. We did it to vindicate truth and to protest against the offered reward for political treason to one who had occupied a long time in bitterest an imadversion of those whose support he now has sought. If our call had been a failure our duty would have been none the less performed. But there was a sympathetic chord in the American heart which responded in enthusiastic and harmonious tones to the musicians touch. There is a love for honesty, a veneration for preamble a deep rooted desire for reform in the hearts of the American people. The assemblage that I see before me to-day, evinces the earnest intention to up-hold that banner which had fallen from nerveless, incompetent hands, and to prove that the old organization was not dead but only sleeping, It has not died of its corruptions, as the Latter-Day-Saints proclaim, who are so eager for its destruction. It will not hold out hopes of rewards for party treason, nor bribes to secure generals from the, enemy's camp. The eyes of the whole country are directed to this convention, and many anxious hopes are to be verified or blasted according as wisdom or its negative shall be the controlling spirit of our deliberations. We can make this body a famous one in history as the source from which the future policy and destiny of the country is to be shaped. We can make it equally insignificpnt and destitute of influence. We want no Ilydra-lieaded platform, which can be construed according to the wishes of the reader for we have clear and undoubted theories which can have but one interpretation, whether expounded in the North or in the South. We can have no intent to re-open the questions of the past, which the sword has so bloodily decided. We will give no encouranement to aught that looks like revolution. Nor can we whilst submitting to the inevitable, and powerless to reverse what had been accomplished, satisfy ourselves by commendation of acts performed in violation of the Constitution. We must seek our alliances upon principle. We must, if we can, impress upon the minds of the laboring classes, who constitute the vast majority of our population, a full conviction of our honesty and our sincerity in behalf of measures tending to benefit them. We should pave our friendship by actions which may appease the conflicts between capital and labor through wiss compromises acceptable to both and whilst capital has rights which we should seek not to infringe, labor is entitled to earnest consideration for it is the parent of wealth. It is the bone and sinew of the land. It is a laborous work to attempt the re-or-ganization of a party and to create its necessary machinery. For two months every thought of my brain has been monopolized, every energy of my mind and body directed to the accomplishment of that object. The sincerity of my motives should avert criticism. If there have been errors of omission or commission they should be overlooked, for the spring of my action has been the intent to do right and to aid in the preservation of the party, and the perpetuation of its principles as the sole hope of the future of the country and now, gentlemen, weary as I am in mind and body, there is an absolute sensation for reliet that I can terminate my self imposed duties and abrogate my functions.

TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. Colonel Duncan's remarks wereinterspersed with frequent applause and was followed bv long continued hand clappings. At the close three cheers were given.

COL. LEVI S. CHATFIELD,

Of New York, was appointed temporary Chairman. On motion Col. Duncan appointed Judge Spalding of New York, Judge Lyons of Virginia, Hon. William Wheaton of Michigan, to conduct the Chairman to the seat. He said he returned his most hearty thanks for the honor tendered. The crisis, in which the Democratic party is found to-day slaughtered in the house of its friend, makes necessary an appeal to such remedy as is in our power, our forefathers thought they had laid the foundations of our government so strong that they would withstand storms of time. I was trained in his school, my first vote was cast for Jackson have not seen any reason to tidopt heretical doctrines. The time has come when old Federalists found an opportunity to plant the principles of concentration in the government, and in 1$11 they were planted on blood and ruin of our citizens. But dissatisfied on what was so great, had we not been sold "out we would have been again successful and turned back the tide of centralization. We never sold out to Old White Hat. That is all there is of the man. I deny that the men who met at Baltimore have any right to transfer such as you or me to Grant or to Greeloy, We are here to-day to see if we cannot remedy this evil. This protesting spirit has culminated in this convention. We arc here to gather the fragments and build up a new edifice of

Democracy. Were there nobody but myself, I would rap our party flag about me and ii«ht for its doctrines. This is a working convention, not a talking one: I will therefore close. The speech was interrupted by frequent Applause. Col Duncan said he was instructed by the committee to propose the name of

CHARLES O'CONOR'S LETTER. NEW YORK, August 31,1872.—To the National Democratic Convention appointed to assemble at Louisville, on September 3d, 1872:

GENTLEMEN:—A representative Democracy must be necessarily degenerate in practice and become at last an intolerably mischievious domination if its official corps be allpwed to wield without effectual restraint those powers correctly denominated regal, by which, from the very beginning, and in: every clime, civil society has almost invariably hitherto been made the prey of its rulers. When founding our institutions the fathers were impressed with this belief, and in order to curb the tendency of power to aggrandize itself, they introduced regulations of unexampled complexity. Rejecting the fundamental basis of the pre-existing system, they yet adopted the English policy of checks and balances. However useful it may be in a land of three estates, King, Lords and Commons,,experience has shown that this policy is inadequate to the maintenance of public order, where absolute equality is recognized. With us it. has proven exceedingly mischievous By its enormous multiplication of offices, alone, it affords no permanently effectual restraint on power. To the inquiry how such a restraint can be imposed in our country, politicians have responded, "By the virtue and intelligence of the people." But this is a delusive speech. Laborious attention, constant watchfulness and combined action are necessary to practical results. If our people were placed upon a sterile soil, their perpetual hand to hand conflict for subsistence with niggard nature might qualify them for resistance to the official plunderer. Their poverty would diminish his temptation' and invigorate their defence. But in a great and prosperous country such popular guardianship can't be had, and the only efficient protection against official misrule is in the total disregard of those powers which must be effectually regulated by law. This fact was asserted in the public councils which gave birth to our Constitution, but its recognition was prevented by the want of prior human experience under just systems of government. History furnished no precise parallels, and consequently that patriotism which saw and appreciated thfc' right, was unable to prove its statements or maintain its argument by convincing illustrations, bailing to engraft on the written law the limitations deemed necessary, the Democratic fathers sought a practical establishment on them "by advocating a strict construction. This doctrine was never thoroughly enforced by any party, and is now totally disregarded, Hence, our present political condition for reaching changes are needed to obviate its evils, ana it is only by such changes that we can successfully inaugurate the second stage in that grand social reform which was imitated by the fathers. A free and enlightened people, with capacities matured under the benign influence of their experiment, we can now detect and remedy those dcfects in their glorious,though unfinished work which experience has developed. They laid the foundation upon us is devolved the duty of completing the superstructure. The enormous growth of official malversation in the city and State which was brought to light during the last war invited goot^ men to action. The discoveries made afforded an opportunity of stirring the general mind to persistent effort for reform. The opportunity watfimproved, and except as disturbed by the inopportune recurrence of a Presidential canvass, the current of popular sentiment has ever since moved steadily in the right direction. The idea has been extensively entertained that this movement originated in the nation metropolis, and should be permitted to run its natural course, draw into harmony with itself the honest masses throughout the country and thereby lead to the establishment of efficient, self-sus-taining and permanent barriers ajgainst prevalent evils.

Facts, however, warrant apprehension that the pending conflict for control of the Federal power has broken in on the tendency to reform, and may completely reverse it. Governmental intermeddling with those concerns of society which, un» der judicious laws, might beneficially be left to individual action, is the only real evil actually developed in our system. This eminence is assigned to it because it is the fruitful parent of all others existing, and because the measures required to correct it are precisely those which would extirpate the unrestrainable powers now so mischievously ^exercised iy our officials. If instead of prohibiting or demolishing this vicious practice, our people should impart to it new sanctions and.greater vitality and form, it must become impossible. Of this practice, ,p,boveall other living Americans, Mr. Greeley 'is the recognized champion, and no body of organized opponents to it has ever existed in the country except the Democratic party. Yet by the decree of a Convention assuming to represent that jarty. Mr. Greelfey has been gazeteed as its standard bearer. Opposition to. that proceeding have in my mind afar deeper source than mere attachment to party. That I at least am unduly influenced by that sentiment may appear by the measures adopted against the recently debated municipal malfactors. In organizing the forces employed equal opportunities for purging itself from complicity were conceded to each of the great political parties and to every class. Thus innocence has been shielded from the discredit of evil associations inadvertently formed. Official villainly stands literally defenseless under actual or impending judgment, and all honest men in this great city and State are united brotherhood cOmrfion defence.

My views of the public interest and of existing public necessities, compel me to repudiate the Baltimore nomination of Mr. Greeley. Whenever speaking or writing on the subject, I have uniformly condemned it and declared my readiness to support a Democratic candidate. This circumstance has led to a* supposal in some quarters that I had aspirations to office, and it has been suggested that my name be offered to your acceptance as a candidate. The object of tliis letter is to avoid misapprehension on that point. If compelled to decide between Gew. Grant and Air. Greeley, as candidates for the Presidency, the Democratic elector must relv much upon mere conjecture. Those who incline to the latter as a choice of evils suggest that a mitigation of oppressions at tne South would result from his succesT. There may, however, be equal ground to hope for that good result in either issue of this rivalry. Once his second term shall have been secured, General Grants only motive for inflicting misery on that portion of his countrymen will cease. An effort to secure a third termor to establish a dictatorship, cannot reasonably be apprehended, and consequently a Comparison of probabilities offers us merely a blank-olympiad on one hand or four years of indefinable activity on the other. That wise people whose usuages we: have generally been following, had occasion to pass through a transitional point somewhat similar to that now affecting. Southern interests. In their action at that time we could find no safe precedents for a course of policy which would promptly reinstate

Southern prosperity. But if there has been one among the master spirit of the age, who, even if inclined, could not adopt that policy, it is Mr, Greeley. The feaa

The nature and amount ef taxes imposed should always be patent. They should be plain, visible and palpable. The deceitful and fraudulent methods which have been devised to draw money from the pockets of the people withbut their consciousness of the imposition, should be abolished. Excises for revenue belong to this class. Such furtive methods of obtaining money should be known only through the. prosecutions against criminals. The difficulty of sustaining governments under such a system is, under public expenses, to be great, and the necessity of raising all public revenue by taxation at the very moment of the expenditure, or before its susceptibility of being utilized and made a source of great public benefit. However true it may be in a certain view of the matter, that all taxes are borne by the laboring classes, they are, nevertheless, in the first instance, collected from those who possess property, and if it were the uniform usage every dollar required for the expenses of government should be at once, extracted from taxpayers. A powerful class would be enlisted in the duty of, guarding against official extravagance. Government mortgages upon labor, the most safe and desirable investments, would cease, and in their place affrighted capitalists could contemplate only the approaching gatherer iii self-defense. They would perform a public duty hitherto neglected. Legislative corruption would be effectively opposed. Under their keen scrutiny no man whose record was tainted, would pass the ordeal of an election. Long and patient study has convinced me that On the practicability of establishing precisely this: popular surveillance rests the last hopes of our republic. Paternal government is not necessarily mischievous in a monarchy, but in a republic based on universal suffrage it cannot fail to foster innumerable ivils. It is in fact the sum of all villain-

ev ies. of its powers to putting money in men's pockets, must employ others in extortion. The policy involves a continuous career of rapine and favoritism. My deep aversion to all theSe things has induced me to encourage the movement which you represent, and doubtless my name will be presented for your consideration as a nominee. In that event I beg leave respectfully to withdraw it. The strength of emphasis which has marked the language employed by some gentlemen in addressing me on this subject, must be my excuse for the remarks whtfeh follow. Success should, of course, be an object. In the present condition of affairs other leadership will afford a better prospect of attaining it. A choice can be made from many equally reliable as reformers, probably more capable of public office, and yet less likely to combine formidable elements of opposition. I could not consent to subscribe a platform containing either a profusion of faith or a recantation of errors and a promise of amendment. The existing practice requires this, and that practice may not be abruptly set aside. Love of that absolute independence which cannot now be maintained in public office, a desire to promote your success icstead of impeding.it, and a belief that I can thus best perform the individual cases, and a quota of public life have created in my mind an unalterable resolve to remain in private station.

LOUISVILLE, September 3.—The letter of O'Conor has strengthened him with delegates. They feel that with his letter as a platform, himself as the candidate for President, and John Quincy Adams for Vice President, they can make such an appeal to the Democracy of the country as will turn the masses from Greeley hence the ticket is likely to bear the names of these two men.

Other say that if the steamer was so struck, she must have infallibly crushed the schooner as she rolled over to to the other side and sent her to bottom. On the night of the collision some one on board the schooner was heard to cry out, "We are sinking!" and one of the crew of the Nettie Cushing, supposed to have been the author of the mischief, declares that the steamer in collision with her was painted white. Many believe that the Cushing was in collision with another vessel, and that the original schooner sunk immediately after the disaster.

ST. LOUIS CUSTOM HOUSE IMBROGLIO. ST, LOUIS, Sept. 3.—Philip S. Lanham, business partner of Judge Long, one of the custom house officers who was alleged to be connected with the $30,000 scheme to locate the custom house, publishes a card this morning, stating that the proposition originated with him, that he went to Col. GeOrge Knapp, of the Republican, as a real estate agent, and asked him if he (Lanham) could not, through his personal influence and that of friends, make a commission out of parties owning property around Nicholson block, if he could procure that block as the site of the custom house. To this, Col. Knapp is said to have replied that if he (Lanham) would exert himself in the matter, he (Knapp) would raise him $30,000. Lanham: further states that Knapp and others did attempt to "raise the money. Regarding the use of this money for a campaign fund, Lanham says Mr. Knapp asked him what he intended to do with so much money, and he replied in a jocular manner, if he couldn't do any better he would spend it on election, fishing and hunting. Lanham concludes by saying that wh^t he did was done solely on his own responsibility, as a legitimate business transaction concerning and in behalf of himself alone.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. if? h. i*OUTRAGE AND MURDER.

NASHVILLE, September 3.—Tobe Darden, (colored,) attempted last Saturday to commit a rape upon a little girl, ten years of age, daughter of Mr. N. 1. Pride, who resides near Springfield, Robertson county. The screams of the child caused other children to go to her assistance, when Darden abandoned his purpose and returned to work near by.

EVERY BUSINESS MAN needs something in the way of Job Printing. The merchant or mechanic who attempts to do business without the aid of printer's ink, will find his customers leaving him, te trade with his competitor who takes every opportunity to keep his name and business before the people by the judicious distribution of Cards, Circulars, Handbills, Dodgers, Posters, &e. The best place to get such things printed in Terre Haute is at the

PRINTING HOUSE,
