The Prnycr.
The following prayer was offered up by the
Hcv. Dr. Holsingcr, of Washington, Term.:
Almighty Clod, our Heavenly Father, Thou
"hast been the dwelling-place for all generations,
bctore we were brought forth. 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.
May we feel glad that the storms of war have
passed by, and that we are permitted to be re
united under the arch, and all our States to be
Tepresented together.
tVe ask Thee, kind Father, that the stars on
the field of our national emblem may be
cemented, and may be what It represents to be.
May our Union be permanent; may it be last
ing; and In order that this may be our success,
we ask Thee, kind Father, to give us the spirit
of our fathers, that their mantles may fall upon
us, and may the spirit ol 1776 abide and dwell
among us in this Convention, and may God
bless us nil together.
We ask Tbee for temporal prosperity, that it
may rest upon the land. May peace reign every
where. May our fields produce in abun
dance. May our goods tc increased, and
may we appropriate them all to the
beneficent purposes of promoting the good of
our race and the glory of God. We now ask
Thee to bless inrluture Convention proceedings.
And especially we would :isk Thy blessing to
rest upon the President of thee United States;
give him the head and heart and hands to ac
complish Thy mighty work, which Thou hast
iDeen pleased to give him to do.
And we pray Thee to encircle us in Thy arms,
for we are all living creatures. In a few years
we will be called, and we will sleep in tue
silence of the tomb, as our fathers do to-day.
Impress our hearts with the solemnity of the
oeca-ion: may we be honest mn: may we act
ungly for the good of the country, and for Thy
jrlory; may we lenr Cod, and keep His com
mandments, and when we come to be changed
from being in the world, may we die in peace
with all our fellow men, having laith in God,
and finally, through the blood of our Blessed
Jtedeenier, may we 6bout tlie soug of triumph
at the right 'hand of Thy Majesty on high

Addrcxn of Senator Doolittle.
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:

0. H. Browning aud A. W. Itnndnll. Phiiu.ii.

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.
Considerable time was thea consumed In the
attempt to rectify the list of the representatives
of the different States upon the Committee.

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.

ard's sian, havinir just returned from a tour
through hiortbern Alabama and Georgia, reports,
with regard to the rumors of a famine in those
States, that he was unable to find a sincto case
of starvation; that, although some destitution
exists, it has been greatly exaggerated, and the
want has been confined to their snrtdlstlng mainly
on a lew articles of food, of which, in nearly all
cases, there has Deen a sumciency. The coin-,' its
mis are ascribable, in a jrrcat part, to their "
rations continue, there will bo found a necessity '

classes of society, Is daneer'uis to the true
interest of the ration lsue. These men make
through It political preleraient, arrogating to
tbemst Ives ail the gratitude and credit ol the
henevolence. Wuen 1 was acting a Auiiitant

weie appointed as aeent of the Bureau. An out
cry was soon made by these parties oi'destuii'.ion.
but, ao fast n tlipse appointments were revoked
or allowed to become a demi letter, thereoorted

frecdintn are toe last to apply for aid. I would
recommend tne issue do immediately stonned.

Kidnapping.
A letter received by the Secretary of the Navy
from Commodore Joseph Laurnau, commanding
the Atlantic Coat Squadron, dated Aueust 11,
states that, in regard to smuggling, or negro
stealing business, at or near Suuvroa, Florida,
commander Kurtoii, commanding steamer
Agauam, has lately visited Musquito Inlet,
Smyrna, and beruandina, Honda; also Savan
nah, Georgia, arriving at Port Royal. S. C, on ,
the btn instant, coinuianaer ssarcori reports
that he did not learn of any illegal traffic,'
neither any violation of law and order upon
the coast.
Legislative Enactments.
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.
