-The Soldiers' Convention.
The • 'onvention of Soldiers which held
its sessions in Pittsburgh, 011 Tuesday of
last week, was largely attended, and the
utmost good feeling prevailed. 'The As
sembly was otic of the most marked which
has taken place fir years. Its members
not only consisted of men who bore hon
orable scafs, received in the cause of their
country, but of men who can justly claim
leading positions in the nation —men of
intelligence, influence and ability.
They passed the following resolution*
by a unanimous and most enthusiastic
vote :
Resolve*!, That as our eH*ice for Presi
dent and Vice President in IstiS, we de
clare ourselves ui favor of that great and
true patriot and soldier, I*. S. Grant, and
the trieil and faithful "Soldiers' Friend,"
A. G. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, and we
retpicst our delegates to the Pittsburgh
Convention to present the names of < ten.
Grant and Gov. Curtin before that body
for nomination to the highest offices in
the gifi of the } atopic.
Gen. Grant's endorsements are daily
becoming stronger ami more abundant,
and present indications of future events
an* not worth much if lie is not made
the next President of the Fnited States.
Another important resolution is as fol
lows :
That the soldiers of Pennsylvania
should organize in their respective coun
ties t<> take care that the triumph of our
army he not fruitless, and the just results
ot our great endeavors remain ungatlered,
by concessionsof any of t It** national points
at issue in the struggle, to the defeated
party; or by yielding advantages fairiv
won.
Ami another, 11011 c the the less imjor
tint, as follows:
I hat Major General John W. Geary
having given just evideneeof Jiisdevotion
m the Cnion during the great rebellion,
by volunteering in its defence, and serv
ing faithfully during the war, when many,
like I leister Ciynier, who now claim to
fx* equally patriotic, were rendering ai*l
ami com tort to tiie rebels, and lie being
now lefore the people of Pennsylvania as
a candidate for the office of Governor, we,
his fellow soldiers in that hour of trial,
pledge to him our hearty supjKirt, ami
ask the same for him from all those who
acknowledge the debt of gratitude due
from the the country to its saviours.
These, together with a large number of
oilier resolutions, of the same tenor and
effect, were adopted by a large majority.
A u effort was made to defeat them, by,
without doubt, a certain cli*pi***of dele- '
gates who were urged into the convention I
niainls to dclcat the resolution endorsing j
< ieary for Governor. This exhibits a oer- j
tain kind of audacity in rebel -vmpalhi- j
z.Ts villi which wc have no patience. I
Whatever may lxsaid of( ieueral Gearv,
•s tys the Erie Dispatch, it cannot he sai.'l
of liim as of Ch iller, that lie opjKxscd the
eight, of the brave soldier to cast his liallot
on the hattlc-lield. Nor that lie delilter
taeJy insulted Andrew Jolnison because
he opposed treason and advocated the
Government. N*r that lie opposed the i
law disfranchising deserters, and *!il last
year insist that such deserters should vote, i
thus allowing the coward who tied the
liel*l to kill the voteot the brave litati who j
saved it. N'or that he refu-ed to vote j
thanks to tiie brave I Tiiougenerals. Nor
dii he oppose Jill the measures neeessarv i
to put down the rebellion.
TIM* imlitieians who would have con
trolled tliis convention, but failc*l, have
been anxious to control the country, and
if theii wislies could have lieeii carrie*!
out the North would now l>e separate*!
Irom tin* South or he under its control.—
Soldiers who fouglit for the perpetuity of
the Cnion are too well aware of this fact
and hence no amount of |*ower could have
defeated these resolutions.
Judge Cuderwood has refuse*! to admit
Jcf Davis to hail, on the ground that he
jS :i military prisoner.
L tiie Democracy is so much opposed
'lit nigger, how comes it so many of
*tainp employ niggers in preference
t<> white men'?
In the House of Representatives on
Momlay a vote was taken 011 a resolution
expressing the opinion that Jef Davis
f ought to be tried, and among those cops
who voted against it are Aneona, Coffroth,
\ (llosshrcnner, Randall, Strouse, &c., from
V this State. Verily C'lyuier democracy i>
\ihowiug it- baud-!
of the Kecoastructiou Committee.
Mr. Fes.-enilen, on behalf of this Com
mittee, made report last week, presenting
unanswerable arguments against the pro
posed admission of rebel- to power until
sufficient guarantees for their further goud
behaviour were secured. A ftcr showing
that the war left the Southern States en
tirely exhausted, and that they " had pro
tracted their struggle against the Federal
authority until all hope of successful resis
tance had ceased, and only laid down their
arms because there was no longer any
power to use them," he proves from the
President's own words that those States,
when the rebellion was crushed, "were
deprived of any civil government, and
must proceed to organize anew." Failing
to procure in format ion from the President,
the Committee W as compelled to seek for
it ebevhero, and find little in the eondi
tion df til".rebel States to justify a eonfi
4e*< e that they are more loyal now than
thgy Were at the commencement of the
War.
On the Presidential project of admitting
such persons into Congress, the report
says—
It is moreover contended, and with ap
parent gravity, that from the peculiar na
ture and character of our < iovermnent no
such right on the part of the conqueror
can exist; that from the moment when
rebellion lays down its arms, and actual
hostilities cease, all political rights of re
bellious communities are a? mce restore* I;
thai! hecaitse Tilt people of a State •of the
Cnion were once an organized communi
ty within the Cnion they necessarily so
remain, and their right to be represented
in Congress at any and all times, and to
participate in the government of the coun
try under all circumstances, admits of
neither question nor dispute. If this i<
indeed true, then is the Government of
the Cuited States powerless for its own
protection, and flagrant rebellion carried
to the extreme of civil war is a pastime
which any State may play at, not only
certain that it can lose nothing, in any
event, but may In* the gainer bv defeat,
if rebellion succeeds, it *ccnnqdishes its
purpose and destroys the < loverumcnt. I f
it fail- th* war has been barren of rcults,
and the battle may he fought out in the
legislative halls of the country. Treason
defeated in tin* field lias only to take pos
session of Congress and the Cabinet.
On the new cry of " no taxation with
out representation," tin* reply is conclu
sive—
That taxation should he only with the
consent of the people, through their own
representatives, is a cardinal principle of
all free governments; hut it is not true
that taxation and representation must go
together under all cipruntstu*w*\s and at
every moment of time. The people of
the 1 )istrict of <'oltunbia and of the Terri
tories are taxed, although not represented
in Congrc-s. If it he true that the peo
ple of the so-called Confederate States
have no right to throw oft" the authority
of the Ftiited States, it Hoqually truethat
they are bound at all times to share the
burdens of government. They cannot
either legally or equitably r**fu-o to U-ar
their just proportion of these hurdvus by
voluntarily alwlicating their right- anil
privileges a- Stat*— **f the Cnion, ami re
iusing to I>e represented in the council
of the nation, much less by rebellion
against national authority and levying
war. To hold that lydoing they could
escape taxation, would IK* (O oiler'a pre
mium for in-urnvtioti. To reward in
stead of punishing treason.
It must not be forgotten that the Presi
dent's policy against all amendments of
the National Constitution is, in fact, in
tended to leave the authors of the rebel
lion with greater power, because of the
acts of emancipation and the incorpora
tion into the body of the population of
the persons heretofore called slaves ! I low
the people of the insurrectionary States
resjMtndcd to the President's appeals, and
how ready they are for immediate admis
sion into Congress, the committee ex
plains :
So far as the disposition of the pcoplcof
the insurrectionary States and the proba
bility <>t t heir adopt ing measures con form
ing to the changed condition of attain*
can he inferred from the papers submitted
by t he President as the basis of his action
the prospects are far from encouraging!
It aplK'nrs quite clear that the anti-slavery
amendments, both to the State and Fed
eral constitutions, were adopted with re
luctance by the bodies which did adopt
them ; and in sonic States they have been
either passed ly in silence or rejected.
I he language e.t all the provisions and or
dinances of the States oil the subject
amounts to nothing more than an unwil
ling admi.-sion of an unwelcome truth.
As to the ordinance ot secession, it is in
some cases declared "null and void," and
in others simply " rejiealed," and in no
case is a refutation of this dead I v here-v
considered worthy of a place in 'the new
constitutions.
If, as the President assumes, these in
surrectionary States were, at the close of
the Mill*, wholly without State govern
ment-, it would seem that before being
admitted to participate in the direction of
public affairs such governments should
be regularly organized. Long usage has
established, and numerous statutes have
I toin ted out, the mode in which this should
be done. A convention to frame a form
ol government should lie assemble*l under
competent authority. Ordinarily this
authority emanates from Congress, hut
under the peculiar circumstances your
committee is not disposed to criticise the
I'resident's action in assuming the power
exercised by him in this regard.
I lie convention, when assembled,
should frame a eonstitntion of govern
ment, which should bo submitted to the
people for adoption. If adopted, a Legis
lature should be convened to pass the
\vi S necessary to carry it into effect.—
lieu a State thus organized claims rep
resentation in Congress, the election of
tcprcscritativcs should be provided for by
law in accordance with the laws of Con
gress regulating representation, and tlie
proof that the action tukon lias been in
ooidorinity to law should bo submitted to
t ongress.
In no ease have these essential prelirni
nary steps been taken. The conventions
assembled seem to hnvcnssunied that the
onstitution which had been repudiated
.Hal oxerthrown was still in existence
and operative to constitute the States
members of the Cnion, and to have con
tented themselves with such amendments j
■' '' * informed were in
order to insure their return to an imuie- '
dlato participation in the Government of
• the United States. Ami without waiting
to ascertain whether the people they rep
resented would adopt even the proposed
amendments, they at once called elections
of Representatives to C'ouyress in nearly
all instances before an Executive hail
heen chosen to issue cert ideates of elec
tion under the State laws, and such elec
tions as were held were ordered by the
conventions, in one instance at least the
writs of election were signed by the pro
j visional governor. Glaring irregularities
and unwarranted asswinptkios of power
are manifest in several eases, particularly*
in South Carolina, where the convention
although disbanded by the provisional
governor on tine ground that it was a rev
olutionary Ixtdy, assumed to district the i
: state.
The rcjMirt insists, with startling force,
that the insurgent States
—should exhibit in their acts something
more than unwilling stthntission to an
| unavoidable necessity; a feeling, if not
! cheerful, certainly not offensive and defi
j ant, and should evince an entire repudia
tion of all hostility to the General Gov
ernment by an acceptance of such just
and favorable conditions as that (Jovt-m
--! inent should think the puMic snfrtv de
mauds. Has this heen xtow? Let us
look at the facts shown bv the evidence
taken by the committee.' Hardly had
j the war closed before the people of these
insurrectionary States come forward and
hastily claim as a right the privilege of
participating at once in that Government
which they had tor years been lighting to
overthrow.
Allowed and encouraged by the Execu
tive to organize State governments, thev
tX fttice piure in |*'wr hiding reluls, uii
rcpontnttt and unpardoned, excluding
with contempt tliose who had manifested
an attachment to the Union, and preferr
| ing in many instances those who had
I rendered themselves the most obnoxious.
In the lace of the law requiring an oath
which would necessarily exclude all such
men Irom tederal office, they elect with
very few exceptions as Senators and Rep
j re>otatives in Gmigress. men who lead
; actively partieipated in the rebellion, in
; swltwigly demwm-ing the law as uneoii
j st itntionah
it is only noeessary to instance the elee
: tion to the Senate of tlie late Vice Presi
dent ol the Confederacy. .V man who,
: against his own declared convictions, had
lent all the weight of his acknowledged
I ability and of his influence as a most
prominent public man to the causes of
the rebellion, and who, unpardoned rebel
as he is, with that oath staring him in
I the face, had the assurance to lav his cre
dentials on the table of the Senate. Other
i rebels of scarcely less note or notorietv
; were selected from other quarters. Pro
fessing no repentance, glorying appaivitt
i ly in the crime they hail committed,
avowing still, as the uicontradicted tes
t imony of Mr. Stephens avid many others
j proves, an adherence to th* jcrnicious
; doctrine of soivssion, avid declaring that
; they yielded only to necessity, they insist
I with unanimous voice upon their' rights
; as States, and proclaim that they Will
: submit to no conditions whatever prelim- \
inary to their lesumption of power under
; that Constitution which they still claim
I the right to repudiate.

A Bitter Dose Rojectsd.
The fb 'imw-rat- <f the Connecticut Lotr
-lahi re last week ventured upon some
brilliant attempts to embarrass the Union '
men, by proposing resolutions upon negro '
equality, and also tiie right of all wliite j
men to equality hefore the law*. They
j found the game until Mr.
i Ballard suhinitteil the following resolu
tion, and, by parliamentary tactics, com
pelled a vote upon it:
j Resolved, Ac., That our Senators ate!
Representatives in Congress he, and are
j hereby requested, to urge the passage of i
j such amendments to the Constitution of
i tin* 1 nitcd States as will secure to the
t white men of Conneetieiit a representa
■ lion in Congress equal to that accorded to
: the white men of South Carolina.''
This was too mueh fort he Copperheads, i
So the Democrats of Connecticut unani- i
niously voted against reducing the white
men of Carolina to their own level, by '
voting against the resolution. The ilose •
was too hitter.
A reconstructed scoundrel at Hagers
town, who furnished the rebels with maps
! of Franklin and probably otlier counties |
when they invaded this State, stated in
his paper that the Tankers at their late j
meeting admitted several "buck negroes'' j
to the church, and after some opposition ,
decided to carry out the custom of admin- j
! istering the fraternal kiss. As no person i
; either white or black, was admitted to the :
church on that occasion, the whole state- |
nK'iit is of course the coined falsehood of i
a reconstructed democratic rebel; but nev- j
crtheless will he a sweet morsel to the
Philadelphia Age, and thence find its way
into the mouth of every understrapper
Jef Davis has among the peace democra
cy and Clynier Clubs.
The Virgin Gold and Mining Company
i of Colorado presents a very favorable op
| portunity of securing an "original" inter-
I est in tliis region of inexhaustible wejlth. i
Prof. Edward X.' Kent, of tlie Xew
: York Assay Office, who has visited this
! district, says:
| '-As to the extent of the gold mines of Colorado, I :
I am not prepared to give an estimate, as I found '•
j enough to hilly owipl'oy my time within a radius of
i five miles of Central City.] the location of the above '
I ledgesj hut as to the richness of IDEM. I have no hes

diteoverei. Wit?! science, capital and the Pacific Rait
j road. Colorado i- destined in my opinion, to rival or '
! supercede California and Australia, and become the j
! El Dorado of the World."
The large basis of this enterprise—its
j choice Ledges—as well as its fair and ,
I equitable features are such as to commend
i it to the attention of all those having sur
! plus funds for investimeiit. As "original ,
! interests" in this Company can now be

them should at once send in their sub
