GREAT ENTHUSIASM, Ac., Ac.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 17.—The Sol
diers’ and Sailors’ Convention,. In re
sponse to a call favorable to the policy of
President Johnson and the action of the
Philadelphia Convention, August the
14th, mot in this city to-day., A pavil
lion one hundred feet in length, by sixty
in breadth, had been erected in the Park
for the use of the Convention, and at
throe o’clock the delegations entered,
preceded by a band of music, arid were
seated, after which the crowd from the
outside was admitted, and filled the tent
to its utmost capacity.
Previous to the organization quite a
spirited scene was witnessed, the delega
tions rising and cheering with all their
might successively for the “ old flag” and
Generals Custer, Rousseau, Wool and
M’Clellau, the Constitution, the thirty
six States and Andy Johnson, and, after
a brief breathing spell, for Grant, Secre
tary Seward, the American Army and
General Steedmau, and Governor Bram
lette, of Kentucky.
As the cheering was called for and giv
en, in each case, there was a scene of the
wildest enthusiasm, the delegates and
spectators rising and swinging their hats
and shouting most vigorously.
By previous arrangement Governor
Bramlette nominated Major General John
E. Wool, ns the oldest Major General in
the United States, and probably in the
world, as the temporary President.
Gen. Wool was received with loud
cheers, and addressed the Convention ns
follows :
Speech of General Wool.
Gentlemen : A grateful heart thanks
yon for your cheering welcome. A more
flattering and cheering position could not
have been assigned to me than the one
just conferred as presiding officer, al
though but temporarily, over this assem
blage of patriots and heroes —the true de
fenders of their country and the Union.
Be assured it will ever bo remembered
and appreciated as the most precious in
cident of a long military career. The ob
ject of this great Military Convention, if
I understand it correctly, is to consider
the principles demonstrated by the Na
tional Union Convention at Philadelphia
and the restoration policy of President
Johnson. On these subjects I would
simply remark, that the sooner Congress
recognises the States declared by a raa
. ority of its members to be out of the
Union, as constituted parts of the Union,
and admit their loyal representatives to
seats in the halls of Cohgress, and permit
them to participate in the national legis
lation of the country, the sooner will be
allayed the fears and apprehensions of
the people of the dangers which again
menace the peace of the country and the
perpetuity of the Union.
With the most bitter and vindictive
feelings a war of words, for thirty years,
was carried on between the Northern
Radical Abolitionists and the slavehold
ers of the Southern States. Everything
was done and said to promote and keep
alivethe controversy. It finally culmi
nated in a rebellion, in the spring of 1861,
which for atrocity, the sacrifice of lives,
the expenditure of untold millions ot
money, the loss of property, followed by
pestilence, famine and desolation, has no
parallel in the history of nations.
This bloody and desolating war was
brought to a close in the spring of 1865,
when the Rebels, unable longer to carry
on the war, surrendered with their arm
ies to our gallant Generals, Grant, Sher
man and others. The Rebel armies were
permitted, under parole, to return to their
homes, and there await the orders of the
United States Government, the officers
and soldiers of their armies pledging
themselves to become true and faithful,
supporters of the Constitution and the
laws of the United States. Such were
the terrible results of a four years’ war,
caused by the institution of slavery
A few days after the surrender of Lee
and his army, President Lincoln was as
sassinated. This atrocious crime, greatly
mourned by the nation, placed Vice Presi
dent Johnson in the Presidential chair.
His elevation was hailed by acclamation
throughout the land, and this too because
of his love and devotion to his country,
and his boldness while Senator of the
United States in advocating the preserva
tion of the Union in opposition to every
other Southern Senator.
Few men, North or South, weresubject
ed to greater scrifices on account of pa
trotism than Andrew Johnson ; and al
though plundered of his property and
driven from his homo, he returned again,
and by his indomitable energy and per
serverance, with other patriotics of his
State, reclaimed Tennessee from treason
and Rebellion. This bold and daring
friend of the Union can be no traitor.
Bu t, strange as it may appear he is denoun
ced ns a traitor, and threatened by the
radical members of the Republican party
with impeachment.
It may be asked, with propriety, what
has President Johnson done that heshould
be denounced as a traitor, and threatened
with impeachment? Is it for anything
more than for the exercise—for the most
noble and generous efforts to conciliate
and bring back into the folds of the Union,
a brave people, and make the United
States what they should be, a united,
great people. It ought not to bo forgot
ten that the cause,, slavery, which engen
dered the Rebellion, has been removed,
and three or four million of slaves have
been declared free by an amendment of the
Constitution.
Those of the Southern States most in
terested in the abolition of slavery, which
deprived them of a large amount of what
they called property, and which they
had considered all important to their in
terest and welfare, quietly submitted to
the amendment; those who prepared the
amendment omitted to guard against
what would follow. When too late, it
was discovered that the freeing of 4,000,-
000 of slaves would increase the Southern
representation in Congress from twenty
five to thirty representatives. This was
to bo overcome (lest the Abolition radi
cals should lose their control of the Gov
ernment,) by an act of Congress and an
other amendment to the Constitution.
Falling in these efforts, all that bitter
ness of feeling has been revived which
existed for thirty years between the radi
cals of the East and North and Southern
slaveholders. Another civil war Is for
shadowed unless the freedmen are placed
on an equality with their previous mas
ters. If this cannot be accomplished radi
cal partisians, with a ranging thirst for
blood and plunder, are again ready to in
vade the Southern States, and lay waste
the country, not already desolated, with
the sword on the one hand, and the torch
on the other. The revengeful partisans
would leave their country a howling wil
derness for the want of more victims to
gratify an unsparing cruelty^
If they should succeed in inflicting on
the country another war, it would be
more terrible than the one from which
we have just emerged. It would not bo
confined to the Southern States, but
would extend itself the length and breadth
of the United States, and only close with
the overthrow of the best Government
devised, and the destruction of the finest
country on the face of the globe. If such
should be the fate of our great Republican
Empire, the cause must not bo sought for
In our military camps, but in the forum,
thronged ’with inflammatory orators and
aspiring demagogues, with souls dead to
their country’s honor, and spoiled with
corruption.
I need not toll this great assemblage of
officers, soldiers and sailors, most of whom
hare been engaged in many perilous bat
tles, defending their country their coun
try’s honor, that war is a great evil, and
the greatest that can befall any country
or people. It has over been the curse of
nations, and the cause of all the oppres
sion imposed on the people of Europe. If
you wouldguard your once free and happy
and prosperous country from oppression
and oppressive taxes, beware how you en
courage war. Encourage not demagogues
who, to gratify ambition or revenge, would
drench their country in blood.
The loss of liberty commences with op
pression, and oppression follows war. —
The United States, os conquerors, can af
ford to be just and magnanimous; the brave
are always merciful and generous. As
the President said. 11 We have had war
enough—let there bo pence.” Recollect,
that the recent Rebellion, engendered by
radical abolitionists and slaveholders,
leaves the Northern States with more
than a hundred thousand pensioners, be
sides thousands and tens of thousands of
widows and orphans, to weep over the
graves of their only protectors and the
defenders of the Union. Yet there are
those among us who are not sufficiently
satiated with blood and plunder, and cry
for more war.
In conclusion I would call upon you,
officers, soldiers and sailors, to stand
by the Union which, in a war of four
years, when blood ilowed in torrents, by
your gallantry and indomitable perseveP*;
anco and courage, saved from ruin and
destruction. I entreat you to spare no
efforts to preserve this Republic intact —
the last nope of the oppressed of the
world. With confident expectation that
you will, as heretofore, prove yourselves
the saviors of your country, I again grate
fully thank you for the honor you have
this day conferred on me, and with the
assurance that I ever will be with you in
the defense of our glorious Union.
The speech was greeted with applause
throughout, and long continued cheering
at its close.
The passages declaring that Johnson
can be no traitor; that the bravo arc al
ways generous; and that, as the Presi
dent says" We have had war enough,”
were cheered with particular enthusi
asm.
Prayer was offered by Captain W. C.
Turner, formerly of the Forty-ninth Ohio
infantry.
On motion of General Lewis, (Ky.)
Capt. J. C. M. Furbish, of Blaine, and
Blajor Duval English, of Kentucky, were
elected Secretaries.
On motion of Gen. Denver a Committee
on Permanent Organization, consisting of
one from each State, was appointed.
General Custer announced that many
of the delegations were not yet full; that
members were now on their way who
ought to have an opportunity to partici
pate in the business of the permanent or
ganization, and he, therefore, offered a
resolution to adjourn until ten o’clock to
morrow morning.
Speech by Gen. Ewing.
Subsequently this resolution was with
drawn, and Mr. Campbell moved that
General Thomas Ewing. Jr., of Kansas,
now address the Convention.
In response to calls from all sides, Gen
eral Ewing appeared upon the stand, and
was introduced by the President, saying:
If you have any cheers to give, you
can give them loud.”
Cheers greeted this suggestion, and
General Ewing (Ohio) proceeded to ad
dress the Convention at great length on
all the political topics of the day. He
said they had assembled to consult ns to
their duty and action in the Impending
political conflict. We owed allegiance to no
political party, but to the country and its
laws. Before, the war many of them had
been Republicans and many of them
Democrats, with varying opinions on the
question of slavery.
That question was decided in the con
test of 1860. At the close of the contest
eleven States withdrew from the Union,
and "the President called upon the peo
ple to come forward and suppress the re
volt. The call was promptly responded
to by Democrats, Republicans and 801 l
and Everett men, and after four years of
war the Rebellion was suppressed. What
bound us togetherin that conflict of arms?
Hot hatred of slavery; for on that ques
tion we differed. Not from love of war,
for we all desired peace. Not hatred of
the Southern people, for they wore our
countrymen.
No; it was the sentiment of nationali
ty, the determination that the Union
should be preserved and made perpetual.
That was the one purpose of the war,
known or recognized by the army and
navy of the United States. That was the
sentiment that raised all our armies and
the soul of them all. Neither army nor
navy nor people had any other purpose.
Lincoln adhered throughout the war to
that purpose.
When it was seen that the Rebellion
was staggering and about to fall, the rad
icals began to consider how the contest
would be wound up so as to perpetuate
their power and promote th'eir sectional
theories and interests. A month after
the Amnesty Proclamation of Lincoln
they presented their plan of, reconstruc
tion through Henry Winter Davis, de
claring the Southern States annihilated,
and requiring the readmission of the
South as territories.
Lincoln refused to sign it, and they
then opened their assaults on him the
same as now upon Johnson, and for pre
cisely the same reason. A Convention
was called at Cleveland to denounce Lin
coln’s policy. The Speaker here read the
call for that Convention, which, he said,
sounded like a blast from the bugle of
Greeley or Forney. At the present day
the same men are now threatening to
impeach Johnson. The same men who
stood by Lincoln then, stand by John
son now, with the single exception of
Hr. Lane, of Indiana.
The Presidential canvass came on, and
the • '.rty that had carried on the war mat
in Convention at Baltimore, and renomi
nated Lincoln by. acclamation. That
Convention passed a resolution, drawn
by Hon. H. J. Raymond, that the oqly
conditions for the declaration of peace
• and restoration were the surrender of the
Rebel army and the return of the South
ern people to their allegiance. The radl
i cals nung on to the skirts of the war par-
ty, and thereby secured their re-election;
but, nothing daunted, they renewed their
onslaught on the President. In the light
of this recital is it Johnson or Congress
that has turned traitor to the principles
on which he and Lincoln and Congress
were elected ?
Congress still wishes to blow the em
ber's of war, while Johnson desires peace.
They will have no peace except on to ms
which secure party and sectional domin
ion, while Johnson desires Union on tho
basis of the Constitution. Tire Secession
ists drove tho States into rebellion by the
dreadful cry of tho Abolitionists, while
the radicals keep the Union separated by
the still more dreaded cry of traitor.
That cry had no terror to the soldier.—
Their oath, taken on entering tho army,
bound them to preserve the Union by ev
ery means in their power. They owed
allegiance rather to the Constitution than
to philanthropic theorists, however right.
To save that Constitution they wore ready
to strike hands with the Democratic par
ty, add labor with itso long os it remain
ed true to the Union.
The speaker discussed at length the
question of the Constitutional Amend
ment, holding that we will look in vain
for the South to vote to degrade 200,000
of her ablest men, or to surrender one
fourth of their representatives as a penal
ty for refusing suffrage to the negroes. —
The Louisiana Convention intended to
make rulers of tho negroes and slaves of
the whites. When Congress reassembles
they will probably do it. The army with
which Grant split the Confederacy in two
would not be able to preserve order, and
anarchy would ensue, probably another
civil war, whoso, ashes would cover the
foundations of tho Government.
General Ewing elaborately argued the
various constitutional questlonsat length,
being greeted with great applause, and,
at the close, loud cheers and the thinks
of the Convention, which resolved to pub
lish the speech in their proceedings.
There was speaking during the even
ing by various speakers.
The Convention then adjourned, pur
suant to the resolution offered by Gener
al Custer.

We present to our readers to-day the
following record of the opinions upon ne
gro suffrage and negro equality, uttered
by the delegates to the late mongrel Con
vention held in Phila.; together with
the sentiments, expressed upon this sub
ject by their friends and sympathisers.—
All the extracts given are taken literally
from the reports of the Convention and

Eorenza Sherwood, of Texas.
There are eight millions out of the
twelve millions at the Soutli who are
loyal, who have all the natural motives
to be loyal, who have everthiug that they
hold dear as an incentive to be loyal, that
they shall not be shackled by prejudices
against color and race.
11. C. Warmoutli, of Louisiana.
Hg expressed the belief that the obj eet
of the motion to adjourn sine die was to
cut off the report of the Committee on
the Non-reconstructed States, because
the Border State men were afraid of the
introduction of measures looking to im
partial suffrage. He declared that the
delegates from the non-reconstructed
States would hear that report, if they
heard it alone; and he was authorized to
say that Impartial suffrage would bo a
part of it.
Anna Dickinson, of Pennsylvania.
What was to be gained by deferring ac
tion upon, negro suffrage? Nothing!—
while everything was to be lost by a va
cillating, conciliatory course. The peo
ple even of Maryland and Kentucky
would say that the Union Republican
party was devoted to negro suffrage.
Frederick Douglass, of Now York.
A stranger would believe that you in
tended to give equal and exact justice to
men of my complexion. If you mean
anything by equal justice or equal pro
tection, you mean that Frederick Doug
lass shall have an equal right with every
other citizen to protect his liberty. [Ap
plause.] You do mean it! [Applause.] —
Why, then, in God’s name, do you not
come out and express your convictions?
[Great applause.] I have talked to men
from the South, and they have said, ‘I It
will come; don’t hasten it; let us get out
of the well, and we will attend to you.”—
[Laughter and groat applause.]
Calvin k Robinson, or Florida.
Resolved , That the Union men of the
State of Florida are to-day in a condition
of complete subjection to rebels, and our
situation deplorable indeed; that negro
suffrage would give us a controlling in
fluence, &'o.
Clinrlcs B. Moss, of Missouri.
Resolved, That tho Committee on Res
olutions bo instructed to prepare a report
and resolution favoring the conferring of
the right of suffrage upon all citizens,
without regard to race or color.
The speaker reviewed the policy of Mr.
Johnson, as contrasted with that of Con
gress, and advocated a bold, out-spoken
course of action. Some of his friends,
who were earnestly in favor of the suc
cess of tho great principle of universal
suffrage, had recommended that nothing
should be said about it; butovas that the
way to forward the cause of freedom? —
What friends were to be made by silence
and reserve on that vital question ?
John Minor Bolts, of Virginia.
I have less desire and less right to tram
mel any State in establishing the suffrage
it wants to establish. In the name of
God, if Texas wants universal suffrage
for the white man and the black, let them
have it. [Applause.] If Louisiana wants
equal suffrage, let them have it and es
tablish it for themselves.
Itcn. F. Butler, of Massachusetts
Had the negro not been armed, the re
sult would have been far different. Wo
armed him with the musket when he
was fit to use It; shall we not arm him
with the ballot? There is a prejudice
against the negro on the question of la
bor. When the labor saving machinery
was introduced into England, the labor
ing classes rose and destroyed it, because
they thought it would take away the work
that brought them bread. Suppose we
were only looking for expediency. The
States must come back. We want n loy
al constituency in those States. Where
1 will they come from? As a matter of

IV. T. Wiley, of West Virginia.
Allow me to say that negro suffrage is
no bug-bear to me'. In my place in thd
Senate of the United States, and, ns I am
well assured, in tho face of tho public
sentiment in my, native State, X took
ground in favor of negro suffrage. [Ap
plause.] It is not from me, then, that its
friends may expect any hostility or any
disposition tp retard or embarrass them
in their glorious work, or even in secu- '
ring Impartial suffrage in tho Southern
States. In that I am with them heart
and hand.
J. W. llnnnicntt, of Virginia.
As for negro suffrage, the Convention
had said it must, shall and will come.—
Ho came here from the white loyalists
and black loyalists of Virginia, who had
contributed the funds (SlflO) wherewith to
send him here to represent them. He de
clared himself the friend of tho white man
as well os the black man,, and he would
return whence he came believing that if as
sassinated, the blood of the martyrs would
be the seed of tho church. Ho urged his
hearers to go homo after the adjournment,
and advocate their cause elsewhere, and
concluded by reannouheing himself tho
advocate of equal rights.
C. G. Baylor, of Georgia.
Resolved, That we forgive and forget the
wrong of secession, but do not propose to
make it meritorious; wo propose to ignore
It, but not to reward it; we proposo'to ac
cept and reward men who stand upon
their own merits, and not on the wrong
of secession; we propose to admit Into this
delegation those who, renewing in good
faith the dogma of State authority, as op
posed to national authority, are also wil
ling to stand on the republican doctrine
of impartial suffrage and equality before
the law.
The Louisiana and Alabama delegations
made similar statements. GeneralHam
llton, on behalf of the Texas delegation,
announced that they endorsed the same
sentiments. Mr. Lysander Hill stated
that the majority of the Virginia delega
gations also endorsed these sentiments.—
A delegate from Florida said: “ TheFio
rida delegation is right there.”
P. It. Randolph, of Louisiana.
Ho said ho was the only negro who was
recognized on an equality with his col
leagues in the Southern Convention. —
When his colleagues came here they said
they had a nigger among them, and they
were going to keep him there. [Ap
plause!] He represented 300,000 black
men ofhis State, and he kept his place in
the Convention ns proud ns the proudest
of them. [Applause.] To-day Ethiopia,
for the first time, practically stretches
forth her hands, and she will keep them
stretched forth until she can grasp the
fruits of the tree of liberty.
E. Ilicstaud, of Louisiana.
If you expect any political control in
the government of the Southern. States,
you must insist that rule of justice shall
be carried out, that he who shall have a
voice in sustaining the rights of the gov
ernment shall have a choice in the selec
tion of those who are to govern him.—
The question of universal suffrage will
have to be discussed and Anally adopted:
and I advise you in the coming contest
not only to prepare your ballots, but bul
lets, for the storm which is brewing.
Parson Brownlow, of Tennessee.
Some gentleman, not through any un
kina feeling toward me, but through a
mistaken appreciation of my motives, has
said that wo wore afraid of the negro suf
frage question and sought to dodge it.—-
Why, I should feel disgraced now and
forever if I felt doubtful on any subject of
national concern. I never was claimed
on both sides of any question, and neyer
intend to be. While lam satisfied with
what has been done, I am the advocate of
negro suffrage and of impartial suffrage.
[Greatapplause, including Three cheers
for Brownlow.] I would sooner be elec
ted to any office under heaven by loyal
negroes than by disloyal white men.—
[Applause.] I would sooner associate in
private life with a loyal negro than a dis
loyal white man. I would sooner be bur
ied in a negro graveyard than a rebej
graveyard. [Applause.] If I have after
death to go either to hell or to Heaven, I
shall prefer to go with loyal negroes to hell
than with traitors to Heaven.
Hugh 8. Bond, of Maryland.
Resolved, That the Convention urge
the loyal men of the North to support the
Congress of the United States In demand
ing of the Southern States the wise guar- .
antees of the constitutional amendment# -
passed by Congress, and call upon the
patriotic men of the loyal States to use
every, exertion to secure the ratification
of the amendments by the States, as wo
believe the justice we mete shall bo tho
measures of our standard; that m ouf
opinion there can be no permanent peace
or security for loyal men of the South
without a return of negro suffrage.
D. It. Goodloc, of North Carolina.
I am in favor of impartial suffrage, and
have recently published a letter to that ef
fect in the Raleigh Standard.
A. J. Hamilton, of Texas.,
' The fre'edmen are in our charge, and we
must make them men, and give them all
tho rights of other men.
Calvin Pepper, of Virginia.
He said that the fate of the loyal South
depended upon universal suffrage. He
denied the right of a State to disfranchise
any portion of its citizens. The ballot
was a sacred privilege of all men, higher
than the power of Legislatures, of Presi
dents, or of Congresses. He suggested
that the colored men of Philadelphia
should make a move in the coming elec
tions. They had their fate in their own
hands. Let them apply to pay their poll
tax like all other citizens. * If refused the
privilege, obtained connsel and take tho
matter before the courts. He had the
honorto belong to an organization pledged
to test the matter in this way before the
courts of several States, A decision in
one State would settle the principle for
ever. Why, he would ask, should a for
eigner and a traitor have a voice in the
government, and a native black loyalist
none ? Why should the former vote on
the fitness of the latter for the privileges
they enjoy ? He urged the colored men
of Philadelphia to carry out his sugges
tion in reference to the elections; and ho
was satisfied that the question would
come to a final settlement before the
courts, without tho action of the Legisla
ture, of Congress, or of the President*-
