, 8 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 18CC. A RECONSTRUCTION LETTER. "Cataract House," Sunday, Sept. 2, 18(56. To th IKn, Th-hl-w W d, Room Jio. 11, .rf-t-r -, Aw For. Dear Ih-rl-w: At last we nave (rot to the Falls, And my horses mty rent for a day in the stalls, Ibus lar, ali'i as smooth as your oiliest sontoace, JJoi word baa been said that can bring ns repent ance. We're had cloar road and a sunshiny sky, And everything's lovely and toe goose may hang birbl My, team, well fn hand, is so trained to its paces, That onr radical lricnds haven't dared show their faces, , . With A-dt and G db-h for leaders, yon know, The one roujrti and restive, the other too slow. And with (jB-ht and the Adm-r-l mated behind, lieth stood stoady pullers taken drove with a blind), I have sat on the box with the nobons in band, And poshed them thus far on the journey we planned. Tears aro, my old tutor, when things weren't so thriving, And you rave me tirst rules In political driy In, You hardly eiptotedand bow could 1 dream f 1 That I ever should happen to guide such a team! Kre this you have learned bow I handle the lasb, Of our York three-mile heat and our Albanv dash, How at Auburn I laid on a braid rather thick, Pot my thumb to my nose, and cried, like Saint Nicks "Now Adv-b-lI now Gb-ht! now G-dk-r and AddtI Ont R-m-u, on! Bt-em-n, on) C-st-b my dandy I We're off to Chicago; keep paoe large and small: iew dash away, dash away, dash away all I" As for A-dt, niph-Ieader, I wouldn't, for double ins wortn, to train mm again tate tnetrouoie. Betwixt you and me, he's oi rather low Dreed (A cross of l'oor While with a Tennessee steed), And so stubborn and tricky, so dogged and witlul, Tho greom who wou d guide him indeed must be skilinl; He's proud to the servant, but stoops to the master; Just b.d him go slower, ho's sure to go (aster ; He'll kick his own foedors, bolt shy oi the course A icirular ohuck-headed, a plebeian horse ! But I've broke him to saddle, and ride him each day, And teach him bis steps wboa the rest aie away; And in harness, as sure as there's virtue in leather, We'll (0 to good luck or the devil together. Dear me 1 times have changed since I went on this road Wilb a curt fn'l of principles heaped for a load, And on our white streamers our followers saw Irrepressible (..'or.fliot," or read "Higher Law." Weil, we're getuntr in years, but are never too old To handle new ribbons or take a now hold; "My l'olicy" now is the motto to win. Make friends with all Kebels and lot the South in ; To recant, there is always a way, where the will is Quote Tempora mutaniur, et S w-kd in Hits. As to A-dt, I say, it's well lor our game Just to put himin training, and enter bis name if or the National tiwccptakes, A. D. '68, And to tickle his patterns, and keep his bead straight; He's the lavorile, now, with the outsiders' ring The gamesters, and trimmers, and that sort of thing lint on co wo have made np our own little books, And the jockeys grow tired of his manners and looks. And the season draws near for the Washington Race, We'll put up another, 1 guess, in his place; Eh, Ih-bl-w, old boy, tho treat lieconnlructor, May cne oi these days learn to know his conductor, When certain now methods and plans come to pass, And this big stalking bono finds he's turned out to prass; lint to drop tropes and figures, and come to plain text, Let's see what's bcon doing, and what's to do next. OI our progress thus lar ou know the whole story, The speeches, the dinners, processions, and glory. Kre we left the Wh-te H-s (hearing A-dy rehearse For the last timo his lcosons, patre, chapter, and verso, And explaining in full every point that we'd planned he Should mako at each place), "Sir," satd I. to A-dt, "Each man to his post; 'twere as well, I've been thinking, That you do the talking, and T do the drinking I'm safer in that lino than you" just then uu-kt Ome in with a pull', and his eye half akant, And said, "lhat'sall right; and if you'll do the joking And hand-shaking business, why I'll do the smok ing 1" So all vas arranged ; but thus far on the route, It mast be contesed, the poop e turn out Quite as much to see Uh-nt and the ADM-it-t as we, And uou't cheer very loud lor the old Tennessee. Now, speaking of Gr-nt, I am sometimes uuoertain Ah to an he's concealing behind tlia' (hick curtain Ot smoke, and in douot, as wc s;ieak fiom the car, What he'll say when at last be puts out his ciuar. At liilinonico's. ouco, 1 made sure he'd have spoke, But hj widest mouth-oponing ended in smoke; Now they say that J love a Havana (indeed Old comrade, you know how I cling to my Wood), But loi Ga-M thougn ho seems to have joined our fraternity, , With his smoke-begrimed beard and his strange taciturnity In the end, my dear friend, we should Bing rather small If the warrior-chlcf were outflanking as all 1 Well, the rest have just crossed to tne Canada side, To seo whore the frontalis raided ani died (I'm aliaid that we misned it in stepping between Tne biue-nosed provincials and bold Boys in Green, Somehow, in the cheering that's just now in voiiue, We don't hear so much ol that sweet Iriih brogue). Wbile 1 sit la my chumoer, inditiiiir this letter To my trusty companion and ancient abotior. Good-natured ot Douglas, to die an he did, And to leave us of one ot our rivals well rid, With ahandBonie excuse lor a lengtdenoa oration From the bast to the West, at the cost of tne nation! We'll go down to 8t. Louis, and come around home By tne Grand Southern route, since all road lead to XWIUV. Things are turned; what a change from tho future yon'd fix on, That should be cheered South of Mason and Dixon. Have they come to our side, or we shifted to themf A delicate point howsoever, ahem ! We go in good company, since Urot'ier B-cr-r Bids fair to be Davis's favorite preacher ; 'Twasta master manoeuvre to mako him speak ont; Since his letter to Uevelaud he can't laoe about. It was Walpole himfeli. they say, not ovor-nico Who said "All those people at last hove the'r pnoe;" Alter this we may learn that they've bought Ply mouth Rock, ...it And set it up boutb for an auctioneer's block, Fiom which, in the old Charleston mart, we shall hear Of vagabond treedman sold out by the year 1 But, while we are stumping it all through the land, You iellows at home have got plenty in baud ; Not just now at New York; lor I'm not much afraid The tradesmen will injure their dear Southern trade; But 1 wonder what sort of fcxooutive ditty Little K-yu hd will sing to his Union Committee. And 100k to the Senate! Ou yes, not lo montion 'Ihu Loyalists' meeting in this woek's convention, You've got your hands lull, and uiuat deal out once more The cards that we never so shuffled before. Have vonr eye on the piacetuou, a close watch on Bm-tuk, Hut 1 need not tell you how to handle the sevthe, Not you, who nave cropped multitudinous beads, And rolled men in and out of the National bids, Keep a sharp eye on R-ym-nd; you know all his tricks, Bow he's hopping around like the Devil on sticks, WUh h's Kose in his button-hole, Jaunty and neat, And his horse in the l'aik, and his irtends on "the street." Poor fellow 1 1 fear that he'll want to shy off, he ' Has all the settlings, and nono ot the ootlee, Meets the hand or one party, the boot of the other, And still turns arrmn'l tike a man and a brother. If the Loya ists' Mooting is muoh et a muster, He'll be backing and tilling, in spite of his bluster; Juct keep him whipped in, and, wherever you go, Don't oay long away troin the shop in 1'ark How.

The Last of the Great Convention. THE! VISIT THE IRON CLAD NAVY Speeches by Mayor McMichael and uovernor iluinuton. Etc., Ktc, Etc., Etc., Ktc, Ktc. Tbla morniuir, purminnt to tbp InviUMoo ex tended by tbe Union League, a lurs;e number ot the deletrates to the irrent Convention of South ern Unionists took pnsatro af. Chenut street wharf on the steamer John A. WarMf, whlcii bad been specially chartered by the Leairue for a visit to the iron-clad navy at League Island. Tbe leading tpiritsof the Convention were on board, and the honors of the occasion were done by his Honor Wavor McMlrhael and Cb.trles Gibbons, E?q., the Trcsident of the Union League Club. Shortly before II o'clock the stoamcr nlinped her rDooring?, and was headed up tne stream. As she started from (he pier, Hermann'. Sutter lee Band struck up "John Drown," amid the applause ot the excursionists. The steamer parsed up the river as fnr ns the Richmond coul wharves, and then rounding about, m:i le the entire Btrctch ot the city front. There was n stiff breeze blowing trom the South, to the great gratincation ot all on board, until at lust it carried away tho larso American fluff of the rVorner. At this mishap many of the pnrty called loudly on the Captain to turn about and pick up lis color. Time wa too pressing lor a display ol' sentimental dvotion lo the flag, and so the Captain kept upon his course, pausing nsain at Cliesr.ut street wharf to make good the loss the steamer hid su talued. Arrivinsr at Loagun Iland, an effort was niiide to bonrd the yet"lroimd:-a and thy Dictator, In turn; butler tome reason It did not succeed, and the dolomites were forced to view those spiv does from a distance. Tbe steamer kept on down the liver a mile or two beyond the month of the Schnjlkill, and then started ou the return trip. At this point the guests were invited to par take of a iieht colla.tou, wuich had b' en ore Dared ou the main deck. Ttvo beer barrels were turned on end, find over thee a gaus plank was placed. Ou this primitive and inele gant table the cloth was spread. At either end was a bowl, tiva.linp in dimensions tne lees of the table on which it stood. Iu the bol was a liquid mixture which, to the naked eje, much resembled lemonade, but which, as we were informed by certain persona who otifht to have kui.wn tb.3 truth, was "no such thins.' This mlxtute la said to nave been con cocted by W. J. Taylor. Esq., aud Captain W. B. Gallagher, and was what now passes under the t'tle ot "Union League Pnneh." Crackers and cheese completed the victualling outbt. Irofartial justice was done the affair, if we miaht judgo from tho eager, scrambling crowd which blockaded every passage to tbe table. By-and-by there wes an uproar and a shout, and then we noticed that the Mayor had takeu his stand at our end ot the plank. Involun tarily the glasses were placed upon the table, and crackers and cheese dropped upon the floor. Seeing which, the Mayor exclaimed: Speech of Mayor McMichael. Oh ! no, gentlemen, don't stop ! Go on I Go on ! Take something more, anc! never mind me. (Laughter.) A Voice Is that the Mayor ? His Honor It is. (Laughter and cheers ) A Voice I did not know he was sucn a little fellow; he's under size. (Laughter.) His Honor. Show me that man; he must be six feet high. (Laughter.) Mayor McMichael then said: -Gentlemen, however much I may have regretted my absence from the city some ten days ago, I shall have no cause to regret my presenoe on this occasion. (Applause.) I am, Indeed, happy to bo here to-day. And I may say we are all greatly debghted to have had you with us. And more than this, we are all delighted with what you have done. (Cheers.) We will show you by our votes In the October election, as we have already shown you by our voices, that our sympathies are wholly with the loyal men of the South. We appreciate the sufferings you endured during the war, aud we will show you by our ballots, as wo have already shown you by our bullets, that we are on your side. (Vociierous cheers.) The moral sense of the great American people has been so moved by what you have endumd, tuat lliey are with you and for jou, heart and soul. (Cheers.) As to President Johnsou, his course during the past eix months has done moie to strengthen the hands of the Republican party than ail its chosen leaders bave been able to aecomplish. (Cheers.) Although I dj not wish to peak dis respectfully of the President of the United States, I will sa.y, God forbid tint another man should ever be teated in the Presidential chair who would po far torget his principles and pledges as Piesldeut Johnson has done! (Checiv.) And tJod forbid that we should ever again Lave a Secretary of State who would degrade h'.s high office In tbe way that the prebent one does ! (Cheers.) A Voice Won't your Honor take another punch ? His Honor You have had enough already I (Laughter.)
