U'KOCKEDIXGS or THE PHILADELPHIA COHVEN HON.

Senator OoolHtlc Appointed Chairman, PpiLAEtLrniA, Aug. At half-pas twelve p. m., Mr. Randall opened tbe convention by saying Gentlemen i I have to P.UbeUaCe that the delegates from South Carolina and Massachusetts will now come arm-in-arm to this Convention, This announcement was greeted with great app!au?c, the entire audience rising to their feet, and the band playiug the "Flair of Our Union." Hon. John A. Hagan, from the stage, when quietness had become restored, proposed three cheers lor the thirty-six States Ok the Union ail loyal which were ctis thusiastically given. This was followed i by tremendous cheers for President John.son. Mr. Rauda!! The convention will please come to order. 1 or the purpose oi'effecting a temporary organization of this con - vention, 1 propose the name ot It reneral a I Gentlemen of the Convention and FdloicCitizcns oj the tchole Union : I return to you iny sincere thanks for the honor you have done me in choo'ing me to preside temporarily ever yoir deliberations. I regard it as a uistinction of no ordidary character, not only on account of the high social anci political standing of the gentlemen who compose this convention, but because it is a convention of ths poopic of l lie States of this Union, and bc cause we cannot doubt, if it proceedings are conducted witn becommir and cood judgment, that it will lead to most import-! w ! ant re suits. (Applause.) It may be truly .ppliu?e.) It maybe truly - said that no body of men have met ou this continent to consider events so momentous and so important since the year 177C (applause) the year when our ancestors assembled in this city to form a better government for the States which composed tue old Lonieueration a crovi . . , , , , eminent which has been confirmed and made more enduring, as we trust by the fearful trials and perils which it has encountered and overcome. The Constitution which they came here to frame we are her to vindicate and restore. We are here to assert the supreme acy of representative government ; we all, who are in the confines of the Uniou.

(Ap- ; plause.) It was such a government that our fathers framed and put in operation, t is such a government which wc are , -)C.un( y t.Very principle of fidelity and ! 'ustice and roud laith to delend and mainjustice aa I tain. Gentlemen wc are not now living un der such a government. Thirty-six States have for months been governed by tweatyfive States. (Applause.) Eleven State?? have been wholly without representation in the legislative bodies of the nation. The numerical proportion of the represented and unrepresented States has just bceu changed by the delegation from Tennessee. A unit taken from the mall jr has been put to the larger number. Hut ten States are still denied representation iu Congress, i to which they are entitled under the ( ohn iMiMition. iho l'resident. not in pur.suat ce of any constitutional power, had j i iiu-tiiicaiion ot me aiuenumi Constinuioii, abolishing slavery, . e 11. . . i j repudiation of duo.s contracted Thuftification ot the amendment to tho Uud the to over throw the government, were the conditions. They were met and accented. The exaction of new conditions is unjust, and a U jolation of the faith of the government, ' subversive of the purposes of our political . . 1 l .1 - t i: auu uaugfruiis iu lue pujncprcs1 penty and peace. (Applause.) Jacn House j ui congress luay. as uiejuuge ui iue quai- ' ification of its o-vn member?, reject individuals for a just cause, but the two bodies ! acting conjointly, cannot exclude an en- ! tire delegation without an unwarrantable assumption of power. (Applause.) Congress has not only done this. It ba 0nc forther : ne farther : It has incorporated new I j;, , ,;,i, ,,,,1 ,r,f 1. 'ctitution, and submitted them for tho rat!ü? . HM : 1. lncaiion oi nie minies. j.uuru is no prouability that these amendments will be ratified by three-fourths of the States of this Union. (Applause.) To insht on the conditions they contain, is to prolong in definitely tho exclusion of more than one fourth of the Sttitcs from their right to be represented iu the legislative bodies. They had a right under the Constitution. They had a right under the had a right under the resolutions passed in both houses of Congress in 18il. Those resolutions were not concurrent, but they were substantially identical. Moreover, they were ei titled to be represented on other grounds of fairness and L'ood faith. It is this wrong which we have conic here to protest against, and, m far aj in us lied, redress it. (Applause) When the President of the United States declared that armed resistance to the au thorities of the Union wa3 over, all the .States had a right to representation in Congress. (Applause.) Is this the Gov eminent our Cithers fought to establish ? (Loud cries of No !) Is this the Government we have heen fighting to preserve? (No. no!) The President has done all in his power to correct this wrong. (Apphu.se.) 11c has done all in his power to restore the rights to the States in tho Legislature of the country, by giving to each noctiou its full ftatus. Legislation without representation is an anomaly in n-"' o our political system. Under anj other iorm 01 uovernmen. it wumu uu out another name for ursurpatioa and misrnlo. Gentlemen, I trust that in our deliberations hre we shall confine ourselves to ouo rasic purpcie that of redressing tho

wrong to which I have referred. There is much in the administration of the Government which needs, amendment. Sonic things need to be don?, and ethers need to be undone. There pre commercial r-nd financial reforms which are iodlpensiblc to the public wclfarCj but wc shall not have the power to carry out these until we chungtj ia political complexion of Congress. (Applause.) This should be our first aud our immediate aim. (Applause.)

lit is in the Congressional districts that the vital contest is to take Dlace. The control 'of one body will enables us to prevent partial, unjust and pernicious legislation. The control of both House:?, with the power to introduce and carry out salutary refjrin, to briug the Government back, in : the language of Jefferson, to the republi can track, will come later. (Applause.) 13y wise, harmonious and judicious action on our part and the part of tho-e we represent, that period need isot long be delayed. T believe that public opinion is ripe, and that it is only necessary to pre. sent to the people clearly the issues beI tween us and the other party which conJtrob - the action of Congress, and, eutlerrin u nnf tliA finiPi-f. frr wliicn wo nrA n ff , , j--, deal through which it has pns;e! to its ancient prosperity and power, toprcsentto the world an example worthy of imitation. No Utodiau vision of good government, but the grand old reality of the better times, bringing up the memory of our fathers aud the recollections of the past, and with the past and the future insepa rably intertwined, one country, one flag, one Union of equal States.

The scene, when the vast multitude had become still, was grand and imposing. The lilies, whose attendance was sparing I yciterday. turned out to-day in jrreat numbers, and were attentive spectators ot he proceedings. A breeze of excitement sprang up near the main entrance which for a moment, bid fair to produce something of a panic, but the commotion, which was caused by a fright growing out of a scramb'e for a seat, soon subsided, r nd the convention listened attentively to the pray er of Kcv. Jno. T. Ilcoinger, of Greenville, Tcnn., the home of the President. Mr. Hoeinger served three years a chaplain of J : the 1st lennessee union cavalry: PRAYER BY THE REV. HOElNUER. "Almighty God, our Heavenly Father ! Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations, before ever the mountain were brought forth, or ever Thon hadst formed the earth and the world, From everlasting to overh?ting, thou art God.

( Applause.) When I remember that it was Massachusetts and South Carolina in the convention which trained the Constitution, which voted aguinsl the abolition of the slave trade; that it was Massachusetts in 1812, which, through some of her men, taught the doctrines of nullification which ' , iS;oufh Carolin reasserted in and in I the form of .secession, again reasserted in ISliO; when I cail to mind that South Carolina fired the fir.-t gun in this contest, and that the veins of Massachusetts poured out the fir.-1 bloou in tue strugge, and via.

The pubiie mention of Andrew Johnson's name iu ? body of tho character of the present convention, would be sufficient to awaken enthusiasm ; but in this instance his words of encouragement, so flattering to tho hopes of his political friends, naturally created the greatest delight, which was exhibited in every conceivable manner, as by shouts and yells, swiuging and throwing up of hats, stamping feet, clapping hands, xe.

the following declaration ot principles aud purposes on which they have with perfect unanimity agrccu : 1. Wc hail with gratitude to Almighty God the end of war and the return ef peace to an afilictcd and beloved land. 2. The war just closed has maintained the authority of the constitution, with all the powers which it confers, aud all the restrictions which it imposes upon the geuoral government, unabridged aud unaltered, and it has preserved the Union, with the equal rights, dignity and authority of the States perfect and unimpaired. o. Representation in the Congress of the United States aud in the electoral college i-t a right recognized by the Constitution as abiding iu every State, and as a duty imposed upon its people ; fundamental in its uature and essential to thejexercisc of our republican institutions; and neither congreys nor the general government has any authority or power to deny this right to any, or withhold its enjoyment, under the Constitution, from the people thereof. 4. Wc call upon the people of the United States to elect to Congress, ss members thereof, none but rucu who admit this fundamental right ot representation, and who will receive to boats tho loyal representatives from every State in allegiance tothe United States, subject to the constitutional right of each house to judge of the, election, rcturus aud qualifications of its own members. f. The Constitution of tho United Stages and the laws made in pursuaiu-e thereof, are the supremo law of the land, anything in the Constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding. All the powers not conferred by tho Constitution upon the general government, nr prohibited by it to the States, aro received to the States or tho pcoplo thereof, and among the rights thus reserved to the States is the right to prescribe qualificationsfor the clectivo franchise therein, which right Cougfeps catmetinterfero with.

Xo State or convention of States has the right to withdraw from the Union, or to exclude, through their action in Congtess or otherwise, any State or States from tho union. The Union of these States is perpetual. C. Such amendments to the Constitution of the United States may be made by the people thereof as may be deemed expedient, but ouly in the mode pointed out by its provisions, and in proposing fcueb anv enmdmcnts, whether by Congress or by & convetion, and in ratifying same, the all tho States of the Union have aa equal and an indefeasible right to a voice üd vote therein. 7. Slavery is abolished, and foreve prohibited, aud there is neither desirer nor purpose ou the part c-f tie southern States that it should evrr be re-cstabliilled cri

their soil, or within the jurisdiction of the United States; asd the enfranchised slave? in all the States of ;he Uuion should receive, in common with all their inhabi' tunts, equal protection lu every right of porscu and property. 8. "While wc regard as utterly invalid and never to be assumed or made of binding force, any obligation incurred or undertaken in miking war against the United State?. We hold the debt of the nation to be sacred and inviolable, and wc proclaim j cur purpose in discharging tins, as in per . m forming all other national obligations, to maintain i.iilmpaircu zzd unimpeached, the honor and the faith of the republic. 9. It is the duty of the national stemmen t to recognize the services of tliö; federal soldiers and sailors in the contest just closed by meeting promptly and fully all their just and rightful claims for the services they have rendered the nation; and by extending to those of them who have survived, aud t) the widows and ornhans of those who have fallen, the most

rreuerous and considerate care. 10. In Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, who, in his great office, has proved steadfast in his devotion to the constitution, the laws, and interests of his country, unmoved by persecutions and undeserved reproach, having faith imineas ur ible in the people and in the principles of the government, we recognize a chief magistrate worthy cf the nation and equal to the great crisis upon which his lot is cast, and we tender to him, iu the discharges of his high and responsible duties, our I fV w A v v. s t n v A It . rüini - F d w r t cordial and sincere support. THE ADDRESS Demands the universal ackuowleugerment of the legitimate consequences of the war, which are tho perpetual maintenance of the Union and the destruction of slave ry. It asserts next, that the government acquired no new right or powers by the wu", that it acted only on the defensive. Congress had passed a resoluticu that wheu i the war closed, ail the power and dignity of the States should remain unimpaired land intact. The power assumed by tho -rovernmcnt in the States since the war c!o-cJ W3S.in violation of the Constitution j Tlw Constitution declares that no State ! ha11- without its own consent, be deprived !ot its c'lual representation m the Senate The actiou of Congress iu dcuving repre sentation to the southern States appears to be as great an effort to overthrow tho ! government as was that cf armed rebellion. j uue -.ugre wa unu a ouito u oa0 Frclext- au0-licr Congress may cxcludu I .1.

Not only cannot representatives be excluded ' frow ton-res, but no Mate, without its mf aiueuuujeiib ui inu v.uu;muuuu. auu Lilly pretext for the act of Congress is that the States lately in rebellion have lost j tltcir lirlit to representation, which tho ; suprcmc government only can restore. . llt lt is a riincirnl ihat no right can be j act3 aro joyap Nowhere are the laws now obeyed better than i? thd State lately in rebellion. The disturbances that have occurred were due as much to injudicious political movements as any purpose hostile to the government. If the rcoplo of the south sdiow less disposition than formerly to acquiesce iu the new order of affairs, it is because Cougres has withheld their rights from them. If they telt otherwise, they vou'd be degenerate sons of their sires. No people existed whose loyalty would not. have been impaired by scuh j treatment. The people of the south would not be worthy to be trusted iu the cxers eise of their rights if the were willing to submit to such humiliation. Thce men. acted as thej' did cither from a conviction of right or because they were under compulsion. For this they have suffered ten fold more than those who have remained in allegiance. The address pledges them to future obedience to tbe laws. It adds that the war has swept away slavery, the cause of sectional varianceand hostility, and has revealed and disciplined our power. The address directs attention to tho fact that r. new Congress is soon to be elected, and adds that it" tho present polioy be pursued, civil war may bo renewed, and calls upon Congressional districts to return on ly members who are favorable to the policy of restoration. The two "duc.5t indabilantj of Wodburu Massachusetts Mr. .Tohua Converse, aged nincty-nined years and seven month, and Mr. John Powlc, eighty-eight years old met lately at the farm of Mr. Wei.
