Even from ever lasting to everlasting Thou art God, and in the name ot Tby Son, Jesus Christ, this time we auk Thee for Ills sake to pardon ail our sins. In Thy Providence we have been brought together here lor a special purpose, and we sk the kind Father to give us a portion of His lloly spirit on the present occasion, and that Thou wouldst give us to feel the responsibilities which rest upon us; and as millions in all future time arc to be affected lor weal or for woe by the doings of this Convention, may we be imbued with Infinite wisdom.

Senator Doolittlo then stepped forward, and was received with vociferous cheering. He spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention and fellow citizens of the United States: For tuo distin guished honor of beiDg called upon to preside over the deliberations of this Convention, I sincerely thank you. I could have wished tuat Its resuonsibilit-es had fallen upon another. But telying upon that generous confidence whieh called me to the Chair, I enter at once virion itn duties with an earnest desire lor the success ol that great cause In which wcare now engaged. This Convent Ion will prove to be one of the greatest events of the present dny, "lor peace hath her victories, as well a war." Tais is a rrownu.g victory of peace. For the first time in six lone, weary years, a Convention representing all the States is now nsscraoled. It has been au Interval ot blood and agony and tears. We have been engaged in the most gigantic civil war the world has ever seen. A thousand battle-fields have been drenched with fraternal blood. But now, thanks be to Almlehty God, the war is over, and peace, blessed peace, has finally come. Peace has come, and come to stay. (Prolonged cheers.) If all the people ot the United States could look In upon this Convention, witnessing North nrd South, East aud West, joining in fraternal association, our wont would be already done. (Cheers.) If they could have seen the full delegations ot Massachusetts and South Carolina entering arm in arm, if they could see this body, greater in numbers, in weight and character than any ever assembled before on this continent, .joining hands, there would be no coming struggle at the polls. 1 remember that Massachusetts in 1812 taught through some of her statesmen the doctrine of secession, while South Cnrolinla fired the first gun In lis favor in 18G1; vet Massachusetts poured out the first blood In the con'est. and now tlie repre sentatives of these two States enter arm in arm, and could the whole people of tne United States witness this, there would be no further strife. Could Massachusetts herself have witnessed it, she would return to Congress no one who was not pledged to recognize all tho rights of every .State under the constitution, including that of representation in both Houses ot Con gress. (Cliecrs.) I take great pleasure in en dorsing every word said by the distinguished gentleman (General Dix) who preceded me. But as all the people of the United States are not here present, ihc burden ot the labor rests upon us. The next Congress shall recognize the right to equal representation. (Cheers.) When that is done the Union will be restored (cheers), and then we shall enter upon a higher career tban that of any other Government. We shall stand in the vanaunrd of liberty, and lad by our example all tbe nations of the earth. Without detaining vou further, I shall at once enter upon the dudes of the Chair. The band then played the "Star Spangled Banner"' the delegates meanwhile congratu lating each other upon the temper of the Presi dent's address. The President then invited the Vice-Presidents and Secretaries to come forward and occupy seats upon the platform, the band the while play ing "Tramp, Tramp " General Steadman, of Oh o, then presented the report of the Committee on Credential, which was read by the Secretary. There were no contested seats, save lroin the States of Mnine, Delaware,fand New York, which were dis-posed of in a satisfactory manner. General Steadman then moved the previous question, when the report was unanimously adopted. A letter from the Hon. C. L. Vallandighatn was then announced by Mr. Groesbeck, of Ohio, amid vociferous cheering. The Chairman stated that it required the unanimous consent of the Convention to have it read. Objections were at once made, when a motion was rxade to su.-pend the rule, which prevailed. Mr. Vulluiidigliam's Letter. Gihabd House, Puiladelviiia, Aug 14. To the Chairman of the National Union Conven tionSir: I have this day received from the National Union Committee, through the Hon. William S. GroesbecK, Chairman of the joint Ohio delegations to your Convention, a ticket of a)in1siori as a deleeate from that State. The Hon. General McCook, Chairman of the Demo cratic delegation from Ohio, has also communi cated to me the tollowing resolution, this morn ing adopted by that delegation: Resolved unanimously, by the Domocratio Ohio delegation that we recognize the right of Clomont L. Vallaudipham a duly elected dolegate from the third Congressional District ot Ohio, to hold a seat in tbat Convention. That we should retrard his ex clusion from such scat as an unjust and unwarranta ble tnliiupement ot the rights of the Democracy ot mid district, aud are ready to stand by him in the abortion of his rignts and the rights of his con stituents. That we endorse cordially the purity and patriot Ism of bis motives, and bis fitness to sit in said Con vention ; yet for tno sake ot harmony and good fool in? in tlio tamo, and in order to secure the arreat ends for which it is called, we consent to his with drawal Irom too delegation, and from a seat i the Convention, if, in his judgment, bis duty to his con stituents shall justify such a withdrawal. Yielding my own deliberate convictions ot duty and right to the almost unanimous opinion and decision of friends whose wisdom and soundness of ludttmentand sincerity and purity ot motives t may not question, to the end that there 6hall be no pretext from any quarter lor any controverted Question or disturbing element In the Convention to mar its harmony, or hinder in any way the good results lor me cause oi tne constitution, the Union, and public liberty, which shall follow irom its deliberations and its action, I hereby withdraw Irom the Ohio delegation, and decline taKing my scat in the convention. The letter concludes with a few words expla natory of the positioa and policy of the writer, and a defense of the principles that have lately guided mm in relation to national affairs. Mr. Cowan, of Pennsylvania, then arose amidst the most boisterous cheering, and offered a reso lution providing for the appointment of a com- .mittee of two from each State aud Territory to report resolutions and an address. A telegraphic despatch from the President of the United States was then read, as follows: Washington, August 14. To the Honorable 0. H. Browning aud A. W. Itnndnll.

Andrew Johnson The Committee on Resolutions and Address was then announced by the Chairman and read by the Secretary. The names of Cowan, Chair man oi tne committee, Browning, Graham, and oiners, were louaiv cheered.

A resolution was then offered, and referred under the rules to the Committee, for recom mencing tbe revision ol the neutrality laws. The Convention then took a recess, while the Committee on Resolutions were retiring for deliberation. At 12 o'clock to-day the scene inside the Wigwam baffles description. It becoming generally known that the Convention would assemble at the Wigwam, notwithstanding reports to the contrary, long before the hour announced for the commencement of business, the spacious edifice was completely filled, not an available seat was vacant, and such a perfect sea of human beads as presented itself to the sight has raiely been seen in this city. A large number of ladies were present, aud many of them were accompanied by children. The ladies and children were furnished with seats in the gallery at thj western end of the Wigwam. In addition to th notables mentioned, we noticed the following gentlemen on the main stand: Malor-General Alexander McDowell McCook and Major-General S. Wylio Crawford; the noted Captain Isaiah Rynders, President of the New York Erapir Club; and Heister Clymer, Esq., Democratic candidate tor Governor of Pcnnsyl vania. When it was announced that Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, had been selected as permanent President, the applnuse was deafening and long continued. When General Dix, the temporary Chairman, introduced Senator Doolittle to the assembled multitude, it was tome time before he could speak, so inteuse and enthusiastic was the reception that greeted liitn. Senator Doolittle's speech, which will oe found below, was delivered with great precisness and effect. Every word was slowly aud dis tinctly uttered, and the speaker displayed ora torlcnl acquirements of no mean calibre. The enunciation ot sentiments that found a response in the ietlines ot those present was greeted with a perfect whirlwind of applause. The allusion to the circumstance that the present Congress would not be returned was received with great lavor. The applause was prolonged, and interrupted the progress of the speech. The contractors for the Wigwa-n have in formed us that the building will accommodat3 15,000 people; it such is tue met, there were 15,000 present ; for while Senator Doolittle was speaking there was not a nook or corner in the vast auditorium that did not display a human head. Just before Senator Doolittlo commenced his speech th"re was consioeranle excitement in the galleries near the main entrance: on Girar.l avenue, and lor a time it was tuought that a riot was about to ensue. Everybody jumped to their feet, and those nearest the doors made a rapid exit. The ladies and children were greatly alarmed, and much conl usion ensued for a few minutes. The exact catu of the difficulty could not bo ascertained, but, however, order was soon restored, aud delegates and spectators quietly took their seats. The decorations of the Wigwam have been in creased since yesterday. The main entrance has been beautifully ornamented with American flags, studded with shields of the different States, and silk flags have been added to various part of the building. Mr. Groesbeck, of Ohio, created great excite ment by advancing towards the Speaker's desk, and announcing that he had a letter from C. L. Vallandigbam, which he desired read. It was soon whispered around that tbe letter contained his withdrawal ai a delegate, and, anticipatm its contents, a storm of applause broke forth, The letter was handed to the President, and by the President to the Secretary, when the President announced that as the letter was a resignation, the unanimous consent of the Convention was necessary. Mr. Campbell, of New York, then opposed the reading of the letter, which action was greeted with ap olause. A manifest desire was exhibited to bear the lettei read, however, and Reverdy Johnson rose and moved tkat the rules be sus pended, and that the letter be read. This was carried almost unanimously, and the letter was then read. That portion of his letter which contuined his resignation was received with tumultuous applause, which pervaded every portion of tne ounaing. From Havana and Mexico. New Tork.

Washington, August 14. Secretary Seward, in response to the resolution of the House to furnish them with a copvot all lasvs, etc.. passoil by Legislatures South ailecting treedmen, omitted the following in his report from Mis sissippi's recent code: '.: Section 4. Be it further enacted, Tbat all penal and criminal laws uow in lorce in this State, detinluit otlenses and prescribing the mode oi puuiBhment lor crimes and misdemeanors committed by slaves, free nerroes, or niuiattoes, be and tho Bame are hereby re-enacted and declared to bo m lull lorce and effect against treedmen tree negroes and mniatioes, except so lar as the mode and manner of trial and punish ment have been charged or alturod by law. According to the Revised Code of Mississippi, the mode and manner of trial and punishment is as follows: Article 68, section 9, p. 218 Rovisod Code, makes it punishable with death lor a notrro to murdeif commit rape, burn houses, commit robbory, or at tempt to commit such crimes. Whites are punishable with death for the crime of murder only their punishment for other offenses varies. The attempt to commit them is meted with slight and varied justice. Article iH. Dace 24fi. nrovides that a slave shall receive It lanhes if he is found away from the place " ol his employment. Ke-enacted for the freedraen by the Vagrant law. Articlo 46, p. 216. Awards 29 laslies to the slave for bavins or selling without written permission. Re-enacted for the freed men. Art. 47 p. 246 Allows oivil officers and others to appropriate to their own use any artiole a slave may oe seeking to sell. Re-enacted for the freedmen by Nacrrant law. and explains why netrre robbery In Mississippi is not corrected by the civil authorities. Art. 61 p. 247 Makes it punishable lor negroes to congTcgato at night, or hold school, etc. -, Re-enacted as above. Art. 63 p. 216 Both ears to be cut off for false witness. Notwithstanding the Constitutional Conven tion abolished slavery in the States, these several laws were never stricken off the statute book, and provided they might be understood to have done so in their freeing the negroes, this fourth section of the new code expressly re-enacts the old laws. It will be borne in mind that iree negroes and mulattoes are herein expressed, and none but such are now in the State. Mr. Seward gave the State credit for First. An act to conter civil rights on freed men. Second. An act to regulate the relation of master and apprentices, as relates to freedmen,. fn e negroes, and mulattoes. Third. An act to emend ths vagrant laws ot the State. Napoleon as uAichi-Monarch." A FUNNY LETTER FBOkl A PARIS LAWVBK. M.
