the meeting of
The Committee on Resolutions
Kmsldorable discussion arose, more especially
upon the subject of the address to the people of
.sn vnitea states, several arans were present
id by MaTcrent delegates, but ic transpired that
ontline proposed by the Hon. Henry J. Ray-
i, of New York, met with the greatest lavor,
was finally adopted after slight modification.
The Outside Scenes
the Continental, our ins a portion of
evening, were lively in the extreme, and
entertaining to a looker on. Some of the
gates and their friends, finding that all
for speech-making was cut off in the
vwition, concluded that they would fail in
nty to their constituents if they returned
their homes without giving some public ex-
stoo to their individual opinions. They,
lore, determined upon ventilating their
intents in the open air. The time fixed
was 9 o'clock last evening, and the plat
from which they were to pronounce their
at the Ninth street balcony of the Conti
nual
it least half a dozen gentlemen made the at-
npt, ut bo one of them met with anything
Nltiartog in the way of success. The crowd at
Wttm'e numbered several hundred, but it was
w7 BOisierous crowd, and quite radical in its
yjtVct withal. We should judge that at least
Jree opponents of the Wigwam policy were
eeent, to one that iavored it. This fact went
Ir to confirm the general belief that the lead
K susta in the Convention, desirous of pre
Vvyvj iB harmony intact, were opposed to
jeecji-making on any pretext or at any time.
i
Ue wtedcwa of this course was exemplified by
reqit of the attempts made last evening to
lade.' It was the general verdict that the
ffm of the Wigwam was damaged to a percep
ije extent.
'fit a politician burdened with a speech is in
bed a predicament a a child who Is afflicted
the measles. The disease is dangerous if
j permitted to strike in. For this reason the
leakers were determined to strike out; and
tfceoul they did, notwithstanding every dis
arugement. Tne tenor of the speeches made
attempted to be made, may be summed up in
e sentence. It was simply a glorification of
Wigwam people and an endorsement ot the
Wigwam policy. This, as we have before
mated, was extremely distasteful to a large

oai and cat calls took the place of cheers,
le'all the slang of the pot-house and the

pone.

1 frequent response; and then would ensue a

We will state jost here, for the information of
delegates from abroad, as well as hi defense of
the good name of onr city, that the greater por
tion of the crowd by far was composed of half,
grown boys, who ought to have been put to bed
by their mothers an hour before.
A Riot Imminent.
At one time it was feared that a disturbance
would be the result. A large posse of the "Re
serve Corps" were consequently present to In
terfere at the proper moment. Their services
were not called in requisition, however, an only
one man was knocked down; and he was car
ried out before he had sustained any serious
damage.
Oeneral Hamilton Promise a Speech.
But this gang of boisterous striplings finally
succeeded in disheartening and dispersing the
speakers, and then they journeyed elsewhere in
search of amusement. By some means they
ascertained that General A. J. Hamilton was at
Delmonico's, just over the way, and thither they
directed their footsteps. They called upon the
Texan hero for a speech, which favor the latter
wisely reiused to grant them. He made but a
few remarks, informing his admirers, in conclu
sion, that at a more convenient season he in
tended to give public expression to his views in
full.
The crowd of boys then filed past the Girard
Honse, and returned by way of the Continental,
inelng at the top of their voices, "We'll hang
Jeff. Davis on a sour apple tree." At times they
paused to give a ronslng cheer ior Geary or
Thad. Stevens. Borne of the Wigwam people
proposed cheers for Johnson and others who
were connected with the Convention; but the
names of all such were promptly hooted down.
But this excitement, like all others, wore
itself out at last, and comparative quiet again
prevailed.
"Colorado" Again on the War Path.
"Colorado" Jewett having exhausted the
fertile subject of the Wigwam, us people aad
policy, he has struck out boldly on his own
responsibility, and proposes a gi ax d scheme by
which the Union is to be thorougbly saved, and
sundry other desirable things brouitht about. In
furtherance of this scheme, ho yesterdiy pre
pared an address to the American peopl", which
bas bren handed us lor publication, ami which

tact that the South bad jurisdiction over slavery,
and even that Miateo could ceceoe, and that want ot

slavery maintain the Union lor peaco. 1'he South
waited ior a movement to conciuuo tne terms tor

tbe field ot victory. Tho conservatives of that

them, and boldly, when tbe Declaration of Prin

upon the table, to that a committee bom our body
be selected to declare a basis ot action, and see if

Further, m compelling Wood, Yallandigbam, and

The Prayer.
O Lord God, Jehovah! King of kines! we
adore Thee an the first, the brightest, and the
best ot beings. All things visible and invisible are
Thy creation. Of old didst Thou lay the ioun
dations of the earth; Thou nlledst the heavens
with Thine immensity; how then can we,
creatures of the dust, come before Thy face ?
To save the mass and the ehiets ot sinners
Thou didst cive the blood of Thy only begotten
Son; Thou hast changed the covenant from that
ot works to that of itrace. Oh, transcending
mercy and grace, may we thus learn this to be
the spirit oi our Divlue Lord and Master!
We trust that in such a tplrit this Convention
has assembled. Thou art the Author of that
love of liberty which inspires our hearts. We
believe that Thou art especially our country's
God.
We have been arayed in a fearful conflict with
each other brother against brother. The
wails of th widow and orphan have Cjkic up
before Thy throne, but at last the representa
tives ot all sections have come up to meet each
other and reinaugurate their former Union.
We invoke Thy sanction to rest upon the great
work which we "have in hand; may this great
people be rallied around the Constitution ot our
lathers, imperishable through all future gene
rations: and to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
we give praise, now and forever. Amen.

Wiowm, August 10, Noon.

the Committee on Resolutions, eonsisting of au
enunciation of the principles ot the Convention,
and au address to the people of the United
Slates:
THE NEW PAKTV.
Declaration of Principle The Plat
form, Etc.
Senator Cowan read the following declara
tion of principles :
The National Union Convention now assem Died
in the city of Philadelphia, composed or dele
gates lroin every State and Territory in the
Union, admonished by the solemn lessons
which, lor the last five years, It has pleased the
Supreme Ruler of the Universe to give
the American J people; profoundly grateful for
the return of peace; desirous, us a
large majority of their countrymen, in all
sincerity to forget and to forgive the paot;
revering the Constitution as it comes to us from
our forefathers; regardiug the Union in its
restoration as more eacred than ever; looking
with anxiety into the future as of instant im
portance hereby Issues and proclaims the fol
lowing declaration of principles and purposes,
on which they have with perlect unanimity
agreed:
First. We hail with gratitude to Almighty
God tbe end of tho war and tbe return of peace
to our afflicted and beloved laud.
Second. The war lust cloed has maintained
the authority ot the Constitution, with all the
I towers which it confera and ail of the restric
ioiib which it imposes upon the General Gov
ernment unabridged and unaltered; and it has
preserved the Union, with the equal riehts, dig
nity, and authority oi the Blate perfect and
unimpaired,
' . ' '
Third. Representation In the Conrrets of the
United States and in the Electoral College is a
right recognized in the Constitution as abiding
in every State, and aa a duty imposed upon its
people, fundamental in its nature, and essential
te the existence of our republican institutions;
and neither uongTess nor tne uenerat tiovern
ment has any power or authority to deny this
rlsht to anv Ftate. or to withhold its eniovment
vnder tbe Constitution from the people thereof.
Fourth. jwe call upon the peopled the United
Rates to elect to Congress, as members thereof,
none but men who admit this fundamental
rleht of representation, and who will receive
to seats therein loyal representatives from every
State in allegiance to the United States, subject
only to tbe Constitutional neht of each Houe
to judge of the election returns and qualities
tlors of its own members.
Fifth. The Constitution of the United States
and laws made in pursuance thereof are the
supreme law of tbe land, anything in the Con
stitution or laws of any State to tbe
contrary notwithstanding. All powers not
conferred by the Constitution unoo the
General Government nor prohibited by it
to States, areTreserved to the istates, or to
the people thereof, and anion the rights thus
reserved to the States is the right to prescribe
the qualifications tor the elective tranchtse
therein, which right Congrs cannot interfere
with.
No Slate or combination of States has tbe
right to withdraw from the Union, or to ex
clude.ithrough their action in Corgn-ss or other
wise, any other State or States from the Union.
Tbe Union of these States Is perpetual, nud
cannot be dissolved.
Sixth. Such amendments to the Constitution
of tbe United States may be made by the people
thereof as they may deem expedient, but only
in the mode pointed out by its provisions; aud
In propot-ing such amendments, whether by
Congress or bv a convention, and in ratifying
the same, all tie States of the Union have an
equal and an indefeasible right to a voice and a
vote thereon.
Seventh. Slavery is abolished, forever pro
hibited, and there is neither dere nor purpose
on the part of the Southern Stages that It should
ever be re-established upon the soil or within
the juri'diction ol the United States: and the
enfranchised slaves in all the States of the
Union should receive, In common with all their
inhabitants, equal protection in every right of
ppifon and property.
Eiphth. While we resnrd as utterly Invalid
and never to lie attuned, or made of binding
force, any obligation incurred or undertaken in
making war against the United States, wj hold
the debt of the nation to be sacred aud inviola
ble, and we proclaim our purpo-e in dischareing
this duty, as in performing all other national
obligations, to maintain, unimpaired and unim
peached, tho honor and faith ot the republic.
Ninth. It is the duty ot the National Govern
ment to recognize tbe services of the Federal
soldiers and sailors in the contest jat closed,
by meeting promptly and fully all their Inst
and rierhtful claims for services Ihey have ren
dered the nation, and by extending to thoe of
tbem who have survived, and to the widows
and orphans of thoise who fell, the most gene
rous and considerate care.
Tenth. In Andrew Johnson, President of tho
United States, who In his great office has proved
steadfast in his devotion to the Constitution
and the laws, and the interest of his
country; unmoved by persecution and un
deserved reproach; having faith unassailable
in tbe people, and in the principles of free gov
ernment, e recognize a Chief Magistrate who
is worthy of the nution, and equal to the great
crisis upon which his io i cast, and we tender

Reception of the Document.
The reading of the resolutions was frequently
interrupted by bursts of applause, and at the
close the audience rose en masse to give vent to
their satisfaction.
The Vote.
Tbe resolutions were adopted by a unanimous
vote.
f Ihe Address, with a'er proceedings, will e pub

Scenes and Incident.)
There is no very perceptible improvement in
the appearance and accommodations of the
Wigwnm this morning, although in the way ot
ornamentation there are added a stuffed eaglo
with spread wings, and a small and Inferior
lithographic engraving of Andrew Johnson
behind the chair.
At about half-past nine o'clock the spectators
and delegates commenced assembling, and great
running and scrambling ensued to procure
seats. Those seated in the gallery were
not before debarred from communication
with the floor, but to-day a long board
rr.iling extended around tbe entire auditorium,
precluding the recurrence of yesterday's diili
cult of crowded gangways. At twentv minutes
to ten tho Chairman of the Convention, Mr,
Doolittle, entered, accompanied by the would be
Governor (Clymer), CrowclL of New Jersey.
and Senator Cowan. They were loudly ap
plauded. The great feature of ta-day's session was the
probable appearance of Alexander II. Stephens,
and at the entrance ot every crowd ot delegates
tleir features were eagerly scanned throitffh
opera glasses by crowds of gorgeou-ly attired
ladies, who took advantage of the fine weather,
and were looking beautifully.
The delegates were collected together iu
groups of five or six, und conversing pleasantly
with each other. Particularly noticeable
among these confab' was a social chat between
Doolittle, Reverdy Johnson, and other noto
rleties.
After the meeting was called to order, at
eight minutes nnst ten, the blessing of God was
Invoked m an eloquent aud impressive prayer
to the God of Nations, by William Reed Snyder,
ot Barnegat, an apparently very young, though
earnest man,
Tne enunciation of the principles ot the Con
vention was presented to be read by Henry J.
Raymond, and alter each paragraph the Secre
tary was Interrupted by uproarious applause.
After the reading of the fourth clause tho
Convention arose to a rutin, and the excited
delegates gave vent to their enthusiasm in
stentorian cheers. There was a recurrence of
this grand scene after the eighth resolution.
On reading the tenth resolution an expres
sion of confidence and respect In Andrew John
son's policy a scene of unexampled uproar
ensued.
This was the last resolution, but it was dis
covered that one resolution had been omitted.
This was the seventh resolution. It was read,
and proved to be of vital importance, aa It
related to the Institution of slavery.
The resolution declared it to be the wish of
the Southern people that it no longer exist
"withn the borders of the Southern States, or
within the iunsdimlon of the United States."
The other resolutions had been passed unani
mously. This one was also submitted and
pasted with no dissenting voice.

Toronto, C. V August 15. The Canadian
Paifiitment was prorogued to-day at 11 o'cIock
by Governor Monck. The closing scenes ot the
session were undignified, intemperate, and
noisy.
Volunteer companies are ordered to form In
the vicinity ol Port Erie, on next Friday, to
constitute an army of observation, and watch
the movements of the Fenians at tbe Buffalo

spirit pervades the volunteers. The Thirteenth
Battalion, Hamilton, who fought with tne
Queen's Own at Bidgeway, at an open meeting
la?t evening unanimously .resolved not to allow
each other to be taken away. There is also a
great deal ot dissatisfaction among the Tenth

causes ot thu insubordinat on.

THE NEW ORLEANS RIOT.
Opinion of a Distinguished Officer.
THE REBEL POLICEMEN TO BLAME.
A distinguished General, high In position In
New Orleans, has written a privato letter to this
city, under date of August 10, from which we
are permitted to make the following extract:
"This city is quiet at present, but ther la no
security for Northern men, except in the mili
tary control. It the troops were removed there
would be no securuy. in the late riot, the
police did nearly all the shooting and stabbing,
as is shown by the result, for no policemen were
killed, and only two or three were wounded by
firearms. Counting contusions, and all tbe num
ber of policemen wounded will not exced a
dozen; while the negroes and Conventonists
killed are at least forty, and the wounded about
two hundred. There is no doubt, in my mind,
as to who were the rioters. The inve-ttgation
will establish it on the policemen. These pople
pro'ess to be Mr. Johnson's friends, but they are
in lact bio worst enemies."
