VIRGINIA. THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Five Thousand Persons Present. Platform of April Conven tion Adopted. " RICHMOND. August I.—The Republi can Convention met this morning There were present 6,000 persons, nearly all blacks. The African church being open ed, was immediately filled, and a motion was made to ailjourn to Capitol Square. ! Jt was carried. After arrival there, Mr. llunxburst, of Alexandria, was appoini ted temporary Chairman, and Mi. Whit tlesley, ol the same placo, temporary Sec retary. A r cess was taken to appoint a committee to report on permanent officers. At an early hour tho neighborhood of the African Church was filled by about 5,000 blacks, awaiting the opening of the doors, and the streets were alive with others coming to the place appointed for the Convention. At eleven -the doors of the church were opened and the build ing instantly filled, still leaving about 2,000 blacks outside. Very few of the white Republicans recently.appointed by the Uounty Convention had made their appearanco, whites present, about fifty in number, being chiefly delegates who had attended the April Convention. A motion was made inside to adjourn to Capitol Square, and the crowd outside mistaking it for carried, hurried off to that place. Mr. Ilunnicutt made a short address in favor of adjourning to the Square.— He counseled harmony in the delibera tions of the body, for they were this dny looked to by the whole country, and by huudreds of thousands, of blacks, whose fathers had looked prayerfully forward to fuch a day as this. The rebels of Rich mond and their press ware looking joy fully for a disturbance and he wanted them disappointed. This was n mass con vention, nnd he wanted all Republicans represented in it. Those who could not indorse the Republican platform adopted by the convention of April, might go liomc, as they were not wanted here.— Any men who came here to break up tho Republican party in Virginia, were scoandrcls and hypocrites, and would meet the odium they merited. Mr. Tucker, of Alexandria, moved the appointment of fifty ab'c-bodied men to clear the ground and keep order for the convention at Capitol Square, which nio' tion being carried, the convention ad journed. The announcement was then made that the Convention was assembling on the other side of the Capitol, and some ol tho audience left. Another Conserva tivc arose and commenced protesting against proscribing any man now for his past political opinions. The Republican party, ho said, was not strong enough in the State to throw away euch aid. It was not strong enough in tho North either. Look at Ocn. Butler, who did more than any other man at the Charleston Con vention to bring on this war. A voice here cut the speaker short by announcing that the crowd must walk around to the other side, and it left en manse, jeering the speaker as It left. Ou tho other side there was assembled one of the largest crowds ever seen iu Richmond, with a considerable sprink ling of whites. Amid a good deal of confusion, caused by the immense crowd, John llunxburst, of Alexandria, was chosen temporary chairman, and Charles Whittlesley, ot Alexandria, temporary secretary. A recess of two hours was had to give time for a committee to Be formed of one from each delegation.— The different delegations met under the trees. In the meantime the other wing had printed and distributed the follow ing handbill: * " REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. —She delegates to tho State Convention of unconditional Union men, calL'd to meet in tho African Church of this city, at 12 o'clock to-day, will meet in the hall of the House of Delegates this evening at eight o'clock, to perfect the organize tion of the Repbulican party of Virgin ia. Every delegate i3 requested to be prompt in attendance. None other than regularly appointed delegates will bo ad. mitted into the hall." Signed by the Committee of Arrange ments. During the recess several short ad dresses were made relating to the course of John Minor Rotts and his clique, and the proposed Convention called by the handbill. Rotts was denounced as de siring to make the Republican party of the State subservient to his own party, or break it up. There were loud cries for Rotts, and a proposition made to in vite him to explain his position, but it failed. Rev. Mr. Given made an address, and the Convention formally reassembled about five o'clock. The Committee on permanent officers reported in favor of appointing all the old officers of the April Convention, and recommended that the platform of that Convention be adopted without alteration* The report as to officers was adopted and John llunphurst declared permauent Chairman. The recommendation as to tho platform gave riac to an excited de bate. Mr. Butts, of Norfolk, said if thecon ■reution, which was termed a mass mect> ii»g, adopted the platform, it would have nothing to do but go home. If they did that, then the meeting held by the other wing to-night, calling itself a convention, would remain in session two or three days, adopt u platform, appoint an Executive Committee, and the Republicans would go into campaign with two parties,which would be ruinous. He wae followed by Rev. Hunnicutt, who urged the propriety of adjourning till to-morrow, in order to give the other wing who had uot attended this meeting time to coiue in. If they would not come, the bluuio would be <>u themselves. Several motions weie made to adjourn and failed. The plotform was adopted without a dissenting -voice, and the meeting de clared adjourned until to-morrow morns ing. RICHMOND, August 2.—The Con vention reassembled ou the Square at tcu o'clock. About two thousand pjr pons wore present. Doctor Payne, of Norfolk, moved that as the work of the Convention was finished, it now adjourn nine die. Mr. Ilunnicutt opposed this motion, but it was carried, l'be Convention then resolved itself into a mass meeting, and was addressed by John M. Botts. who also read the %ddre.«s and a platform, which, being submitted to tho meeting for its indorsement, was withdrawn, the opposition bei»g violent. Mr. ilunnicutt opposed adjournment, and said the reason for adjourning yes terday t.ll today was to give Mr. Botts and others, who had not participated in the proceedings, an opportunity to be heard, and hoped the Convention was not aliaid to hear what they had to say. If there was any political tomahawk be tween Mr Botts and the Republican party, it was now buried, and the party will now carry the State by thirty thous and majority, and that tho ship was large enough to carry all shades of party differences. [Cries of " yes."] The speaker favored disfranchising only those rebels who would talk against Congress and the Republican party, and would uot, like Longstreet work iu any harness for reconstructiou. At this point there were loud cries for Mr. Botts, who received three cheers by a portion of the crowd. Mr. Bayne said he believed the wins of the party represented by Mr. Botts wanted without mingling in the conven tion to speak under its aurpices A vote was taken and the Convention adjourned sine die with great cheeriug. A mass meeting was then organised, and Mr. Botts, who has maintained his stand addressed them lie said he was no in truder, but came as a member of the Republican party. It had bceu circu lated that he had written letters de nouncing Northern men in Virginia as squatters. The charge was unfounded, For thirty years he had stood by them so much as to render him odious with his own party. With reference to having been unwilling at one time since the war to givo black suffrage, he said he had only been so because he knew if the ne gro was given suffrage before he had protection, bis vote would strengthen the Democratic party, or bo shot down in the s'rects for attempting to vote with Republicans. He had uot attended the Convention of Aprtf because ho thought he could do more good out of it. lie indorsed its platform, so did his friends who had couie to tho city to at tend the present Convention. They would have redoubled the platform. Ho warned tho meeting not to be de ceived by demagogues into tho belief that they held all the power. The Dem» ocrats of Virginia will uot resist Re publicans now, and wait till they get back into tho Union. We must not drive any man away from us. [Cries of " no, we won't."] He then read au address to the people and platform, whioh, he said, had not the approval of Judge Uuderwood and Mr. Ilunnicutt. Geo Rye, of Shenandoh, moved to indorse tho address and platform, but tho motion met such violent opposition that it was withdtawn. Governor Peiruiont made a very brief speech, and was followed by L. 11. Chandler, District Attorney; Rev. Mr Givcns, colored; Louis Scott, and oth ers. The following resolutions were intro duced and unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, Tho loyal American citizen will be soon required to select represen tatives as their candidate for the offiee now held by the chance President of the United States, and as the late, war has placed the Republican party as well as the Union utder obligations to many distinguished Generals for the services they rendered in the desperate struggle fur liberty and greatness, and as the names of Generals Grant, Sheridau, Thomas, Butler, Sickles, Logan, and Schofield, and Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Thaddeus Stevens and llonry Wilson, aifc prominently held up as amongst the most deserving in connection with said office; therefore, Resolved, That we indorse the action of Sheridan in his efforts to execute the laws of the country, considering the em barrassment thrown around him by tho President. Rr solve J, That tho Republican party look forward to such acts of protection as Gen. Sheridan and other Generals are extending to them with great hope in the future prosperity of the country, and that we, as a party, now give notice that when the proper time arrives to nominate a candidate for President, we will give all such acts of protection of tho loyal people of tho South duo con sideration. Speaking continued until nearly dark, wl eu the meeting adjourned. —THE sound condition ofthe banks and the currency is clearly demon strated by tho latest financial sta e ment. The national banks have $10,000,000 of specie in value and $100,000,000 loaned on call. Their surplus and their undivided profits amount to a sum equal to a fourth of their capital. To secure the Gov ernment deposits, they have bonds to the amount of $6,000,000 more than their deposits of government money at the date of the stetamcnt. Of tlieir entire assets of sl, 491,s 000,000, the amount bearing interest is $1,150,000,000. And the reserve fund required to be kept on hand is considerably greater than the legal requirement. We cannot conceive of a safer condition than the banks are in, and find it difficult to accunt exeept on the grounds of political chicanery, for insinuations thrown out, by demagogues and reckless partisans, aganst the finances and the currency. —About ten per cent, of the Dem ocratic county Treasurers in Indiana have become defaulters within the last three months.

On last Thursday the election for (Jovernor Congressman aud members of the Legislature took place. It was predicted by ltebels and their sympathi zers that there would be a bloody time and the history of events that transpired in the si ate previous tp the day of clec tion, brought about by rebels and de signing polticians, who have opposed the Keconstruction policy of Congress, led many to believe that the day of election in Tennessee would be one of riot and bloodshed. Hence, all eyes were turned to this State, anxiously awaiting the re sult. The necessary measures were ta ken to preserve the peace aud protect the citizens in the exercise of their Constitutional rights. The election is over, and we are informed that it passtfd ofT quietly, without a single disturbance as far aB heard trom. Brownlow's majority in Memphis is 2,292 t Clarksville 728. Nashville, returns from all the wards but one gave Brownlow, 3,163 ; Etheridge 704. The county also gives a majority for Brown-, low. Murfrceaboro —Brownlow's majority 049. In aoccrdaticc with the latest intelli pence Rrownlows majority in tho State will be in the neighborhood of 25,000. Congressman are all Radical, as also, nearly all the Legislature. Congress has been vindicated in its wise, loyal and patriotic policy of re construction. This Republican tri umph has settled all discussion respect* ing tho colored vote in the Southern States. Rebels and copperheads held out every inducement to tho negro in or der to procure his vote in support of the party which had opposed his liberat'on and gave its sympathy to the Slave hold' ers rebellion. When all their concessions and promises failed their employer threatened them with dismissal and in many instances carried this threat into execution ; so far ai,d general was this done that Gen. Thomau was compelled to interfere for their protection. Flat tery failed to betray them and terrorism could not drive them to forsake those, who had been their friends to the sup port of their enemies. The policy of Andrew Johnson has been negatived and utterly repudiated by his own State, and be has been told in thunder tones that his plan of recon ciliation is impossible and impractica ble and that persistence therein is madness on his part. This election secures a radical U. S. Senator in place of Senator Patterson, and eight radical Congressmen. This is truly consoling to democracy. Thcis love for the ' nayjer will no doubt burn with new life. This is another of those " historical parallels" that we heard of not long ago, but it is only the be ginning of the end. J®-Prof. Philo Holmes writes, " Chemistry and medicine have been made subservient to all diseases which flesh is heir to, yet how little has sci ence done toward improving our person al appearance. Recently I have inves tigated a scientific preparation which has come before the public, bnt which has been in use many years, called Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair llenewer. It cures all diseases of the scalp, and allays all that heat and irritatiou, and furnish es a nutritive principle by which the hair is nourished and supported, and by its remedial virtues, it causes the hair to grow where it has fallen out, and re stores it to its natural color when gray. The old in appearance are made young again. What is InTOiTtd. The time was when an election sujli as wo are to have next fall would have indi cated the result of the next succeeding one; but a new order of things has come about. While the election is exceeding ly important, and grave questions are to be decided by the result of it, Btill it will furnish no criterion by which to judge of tho regult of the approaching Presiden tial contest. The day has not yet come, however, when small things can be safe ly disregarded. Although the October election of this year in Pennsylvania may have little to do with the result of the November election of 1863, it will un doubtedly effect greatly the State issues of that year. Republicans then may not fol<l their hands complacently in this contest, hoping for all things to bo cor-, reeled in the next, through the prestige coming from past success and the influ ence of the powerful candidates who will carry the banner and lead the vic torious party of progress in 1863. The enemy has prestige too, —although now almost forgotten—and the hero of Rich mond, is but human. Time, 'tis said, will correct all things, but times has enough to do to correct the errors which human foresight could not forestall j let us uot put any unnecessary burdens upon the old veterau. There nre cer. tain issues involved in this contest, some local others of national importance. In the daik days of the war for the Union> when tho nation was ou the verge of bankruptcy, and the life of the llepub lie depended upon the cotifideuce of the people in its solvency, the opposition, in the iutcrest of tne rebels, did all in Us power to shake that confidence, by de claring the paper currency unconstitu tional and by questioning the ability of the government to redeem it. What detriment the Republic sustained by this action ou the part of the croakers, no one can tell, we only know it was very great; how much longer the war was protracted on this account we cannot say, wo only know (hat it would have terminated much sooner but for the difficulty of procuring the nieaus to push f it vigorously. The determination and persistence of the friends of liberty and the nation conquer ed the foe and i's abettors; time and suc cess has vindicated tho financial policy of the government; its ability to redeem the paper currency is no longer question ed; everywhere throughout the laud the legality of tho tender iu payment of debts is accepted. Shall we honor those who strove mightily to prevent this grand result? Will you who—with faith in the stability of the government —accept- ed its credit now give yo«r suffrages to one who did all in his power to destroy that credit? Will you elevate to place and power him who stabbed the nation when weak and well-nigh exhausted? — The party that clapped its hands in ex ultation at Judge Sharwood's decision against the national currency, asks you to do all this. Verily assurance is not a quality peculiar to the individual. Tho fact is, this party believing tint consis tency is a jewel of the first water, is de tcrmined to bfe consistent, cost what it may. Gon. M'Clellan, "Tho Unready," proving himself either an enemy to the Kepubllc or' a miserable imbecile, w«s relieved from command for one or the other and forthwith the opposition nom inated him for the Presidency. A Judge of the Supreme Court of the State made a decision disfranchising the soldieis in service, and he is at once nominated by this party for the highest office in tho gift of the Stale. Clymer defanded the decision of Woodward, voted against the proposition to arm ihe State, &c. For these acts he is pitted against a gallant soldier for the gubernatorial office, and now they otf-r t* you .Judge Sbarswood, and ask yon to givjjiiip a place in the court of last resort, because, forsooth, he is au able jurist and a christian gentle man. liut has he not shown that his views are autrgonistic to tho best interests of the State and the nation. He may rival Hlack-ttone in ability and Sir Mat thew Male in probity. What of that 112 When the decisions of our judges effect the interests of the nation, will probity ami ability alone answer ? When the law and precedent are to direct, such qualities are all that are cssontial, but when new issues are to be decided upon, along with probity and ability must ba fouud perfect freedom fro *1 all partizari« ship and prejudice. We kuow that Judge Sharswood permitted his prejudices and his peuchant for worn-out issues to move him to decide against the popular will; is it so denominated in the bond tint he will not do so again ? Can we have con fidence in hiin who has once proved false? Reconstruction is now the all absorbing question in the oountry. There is not a true patriot in the land who does not wish to see it as speedily accomplished as is consistent with thegood of the nation.— Congress has its plan for bringing about the much desired result. And Andrew Johuson has his "policy" professedly aimed at the same end. The great ma jority of those who have any say at all in the matter, viz, the great body of the loyal people, sustain the measures of Congress. The South, ar.d—of course, the party whith inaptly calls itself dem ocratic—advocate the President's policy. They must be consistent, and we have shown that they will be consistent though consistency sU) them,which it's sure to do eventually. Judge Sharswood has gone yoke-fallow with bis party during the last six years of its shameful existence. So fur as partizanship has marked his rec ord it has been in favor of the opposition, and against the welfare of the country ; he has sanctioned by his vote, by silence or otherwise, all the disgraceful acts of that party ; he is today iu entire sym pathy with it; he is in sympathy with tho purpose of this party to put ologs on the wheels of progress; to sound the re treat to the vanguard of civilization ; he j believes, with its adherents, that there is nothing new under the sun ; that human creations are perfect and hence that the 1 Constitution as it is, is sufficient for the j direction of the government cf Lhe»o I States throughout all coming time; and he and thoy would hold fast with the same tenacity to the crude and unjust laws of the middle ages if they now eon stitut'd the law of the land. We trust the people of this Common wealth will have a full sense of the im portance of the coming election. ,The Romans, in times of great danger, up pointed a dictator, who was sworn to see that tho Republic fiuffered no detriment. Let every voter who loves freedom, aud who would secure it toothers, be hiunelf a dictator so far as to see to it that the Kenublio suffers no detrimeutat the next election, and all will be well.— 'Franklin liepotttory. Meddling in Mexico. That a burnt child ought to dread tho fire, we kuow ; we are not half so suro that he generally does. Indeed, it has often seemed to us that burnt children had a special proc'ivity for"the devour ing element." Whoever kuew a man rumed in character and fortuue by gim» bling who thenceforth shuunod*itifiexibly tho blackleg's den ? Whoever knew a man who had poured all he was worth dowu his throat that did not love the fiery fluid that had proved his perdition ? Still, we submit that he who has seen others learfully burned, while himself unharmed, should know enough to keep cool, audit utterly amazes us, in view of tho receutand bittei experienee of France iu Mexico, that we should have country men eager to imitate Napoleon's folly. There is no prool that the Freueh were peculiarly obnoxious iu Mexico; the natural instinct of independence, with tho distrust and hatred of foreigners common to all ignoiant and some tolera bly intelligent people, fully accounts for the overthrow and denth of Maximilian The dullest, most illiterate "greaser" comprehends tl at 4 ho rule of foreigners iu his country implies her incapacity for self-government, aud he resents this all the mora since he has a smothered sus picion that it is true. The Times is moved by a recent pre posterous manifesto to say : "We are very happy that Setor Rome ro has seen fit to postpone the formation of-a treaty between the United Stftos and Mexico, ' for mutual protection against invasion and rebellion.' It may be all very well for us to do what we can to help Mexico out of her troubles ; but for Mexico to send au army to help us in case of rebellion or invasion, is something wc would rather uot agree tu. The idea was suggested to Romero by ,Mr. A.- Wats in,' not by Secretary Seward." Tho American people may better uuderstaud at the outset that all schemes of "mutual protection," or whatever specious name may be given to the med itated arrangement betweeu our Govern ment and Juarez mean the saddling upou us of the Mcxicar. Debt. It is just this that makes Louis Napoleon asauxious now to eet us into Mexico as ho recently pro* I'essed to be to rule us out. If Uncle Sam would just swallow Mexico bodily, ho could not refuse to assume aud pay her Uebt —and its amount, if ho were once in tor it, " would cause him to open his eyes. A few men would gat rich out of Mexican mines aud marts ; but the great mass of us would find our already heavy burden oftaxation largely increased. LET MEXICO ALONE That is the suui of all wisdom ou tho Bubjeot. She has given us to understand, i.i executing Maximilian, that our Government's in* fluenco with her chieftiius is nought— that she etiooscs to~ manage her own affairs—so let her. It is best in the long run lor her —beat every way for us. Let Napoleon seek reimbursement for his luckless venture any where but here.— llands off!— A'ew York Tribune. Tlic ItotliHchildii ami tlic'Popc. For fifteen centuries the Jews have been cursed by tho I'opo, and persecu ted by tho Roman Church. There is 110 more revolting chapter of horrors in his* tory than that of the treatment of the Jews at the hands of the Pontiffs. In all lan Is where the Roman religion is dominant, the children of Israel have betn treated with barbaric rigor—allow ed few privileges, denied all rights, looked upon as u people accursed of God and set apart by divino ordination to be trampled upou by the Church. In Rome, at tho present day, the Jews are confined to the Ghetto ; they are not allowed to set up shop in any other part of the city without a permit; they cau engage only in certain trades ; they are compelled to pay enormous tax cs into the Papal treasury; they are subject to a stringent code of laws es tablished by the Pope for their especial government ; they are imprisoned and fined for the most trivial offenses. Tliey | cannot own any real estate in the city ; I cannot build, tear down, or remodel any ; dwelling or change their place of bust- Nness without Papal permission. They iire iu abject slavery, with no rights 1 whatever, and entitled to no privileges, j and receive none, except upon the gra j cioua condescensions of the Pope. 1 In former times they were uumerci j fully whipped and eompelled to listen 1 ono a week to tho Christian doctrine of the priests. Hut time is bringing changes The Pope is in want of money, aud the house of the red shield has mon ey to lend on good security. The house is always ready to accommodato Gov ernments. Italy wants money so slio sells her fine system of railroads to the Rothchilds. The Pope wants money so he sends his Nuncio to tho wealthy houso of the despised race, offers them security on the property of the Church, the C#mpaigna, and receives ten million dollars to maintain bis army and Impe rial State. It was in 186-5- A year passes, and the Pontifical ex penditures are five millions more than the income, and the deficit is uitde by the Rothschilds, who take a second se curity at a higer rate of interest. Anoth er year is passed, and there is a third annual vendum in the Papal treasury, of six millions, which will quite likely be filled by the same house. The firm can do it with ea«e. Wheu will the Popo redeem his loan at the rate he is going? Never ! Meanwhile the day is not far distant when these representatives of a persecuted race will have all the availa ble property of the Church in their poa sion. Surely time works wondera. EUROPE.

No persoa in the military scrvieo in time of war shall lose his vote by rea son of his absence, and tho Legislature is authorized to provide tho means for securing the votes of absent citizens. Tho seornd section provides tho means for preventing persons who have bought or sold votes fiom voting, and stipulates that laws shall be passed to secure tho punishment of such persons.

The fourth section provides for registration. The remaining sections set forth the manner of holding elections and the, oaths to bo administered to officers of elections. Mr Murphy moved to amend the first section by inserting the words '• white male citizens," but after debate this was lost—yeas 48., nays 94. The term of residence for foreigners was re duced from thirty to ten days. The provisions to the first section were, on motion, stricken out.
