THUNDER ALL ROUND TILE LOYAL BOARD- The Radicals had a little scrimmage in their Convention at Philadelphia on Thursday afternoon, before the vote was taken on the adoption of the Resolu tions reported by the Committee. They smoothed it over pretty well, however. Jiut after the regular Resolutions had been disposed of, the members got to of fering resolutions on their own hook, and this afforded the pugnacious fel lows who were spoiling for a fight an opportunity to pitcli in. They did so witli considerable spirit, and for an hour or two tlie wool flew briskly. We copy from tlie proceedings us reported for the Prcm: Judge Harbor Lewis, of Tennessee, otl'er od u resolution, asserting that a careful education of the youth of tho Southern Slates by loyal teachers was most impor tant, that their minds Hhould not be per verted by treasonable teachings in the schools and ueademies of tho reorganized Stales. The mover of tho resolution deemed the subject a most important one, as a proper system of education in the past would never have allowed the lute rebellion to occur. Jle would have all admitted to its beuelits, whites ami blacks. Ho thought that the measure was properly within the jurisdiction of Gnngress, and if such action was not constitutional, it could easily be made so, General Rogers, of Arkansas, said: I am sorry to trouble the convention again, and J regret tho necessity whieh v <‘ompels me to again appear before them. -Mr. Chairman, i have been all my life opposed to section alism; J have been opposed to strife and to bloodshed, because of this principle, sir, so thoroughly engrafted in my nuture by mv education, I became opposed to this principle of State rights, and consequently of secession, whilst others more excitable and more likely to run into extremes, went into that rebellion which has brought all our trouble upon us. I was not among them. Hut, sir, to the point.— This resolution presupposes a state of ig norance existing among us of tho South, such as tlie wild fanatics of this country would have the people believe. I tell you this, sir, as a Southern-born man, as one who has lived in the South all his life, and I do not want gentlemen here t > asperse and rolled upon the men with whom I have lieen raised, notwithstanding they may have committed tho enormous crime of treason against the Government. That was not, sir, because of their ignorance. The statistics show no extraordinary amount of ignorance in tho South, as com pared with Unit shown in the Northern States. It is true you have your public schools, and you boast of thorn. Tho Chair suggested that tho gentleman should not allow hi.* remarks to take so wide a scope, as the question was merely upon tho reference of the resolution, and not upon the merits of the question to which it referred. General Rogers insisted that he had a right to ho heard, and ho would be heard. He continued : I would warn this conven tion against allowing its enemies to throw in upon us these firebrands. What is this proposition? It is simply the establish ment bv Congress of public schools. And, sir, 1 have watched the progress of this consolidating scheme since I came hero; and it is because l have seen its progress; it is because I have seen the working ol outside intluenees to effect its triumph, that : I rise to speak upon this occasion. 1 enter my protest ouce and for all; I will have nothing to do with the consolidation of this Government and the destruction of the rights of the States and of the people. The speaker continued at some length, arguing that tho resolution gave to Congress tho right to legislate upou the domestic alfairs of the States, lie was dually called to or der by tho Chair, who again informed him that tho question being simply on referring the resolution, a discussion of the merits of the general subject was out of order. A motion to lay tho resolution on the table was lost, and the resolution was re ferred to the (’OlllllllllOO on Reconstructed ' States. Governor W. G. Rrownlow, of Tennessee, stuted that as the businessofthe convention had been concluded, he thought it proper to move un adjournment sine die. lie there fore made that motion. General Warmouth, of Louisiana, express ed the belief that the object of the motion to adjourn nine die was to cut oil'the report of the Committee on the Non-reconstructed States, because tbe Border Stale men were afraid of the introduction of measures look ing to impartial suffrage, lie declared that the delegates from the noil-reconstructed States would hear that report if they heard it alone; and he was authorized to sny that inipartiul suffrage would be a part of it. lion. .1. A. J. Creswoll, otMaryland,sug gested that as the convention had performed the labors for \vhich it had assembled it would be well to allow’ nil adjournment.sine die, so that the Border State men might re turn to their homes. If the delegates from the non-reconstructed States desired to adopt an address, or transact any other .business, they could meet to-morrow (to day) aud do so. Gen. Hamilton, of Texas, said: I appeal to tho gentlemen of the Maryland delegation not to insist upon this motion for an ad journment sine die. Those gentlemen can not have forgotten the call for this conven tion or the object lor tho accomplishment of which it was convened, as stated in that call. Thoy ought to remember that accord ing to the original design of those who were mainly instrumental in calling this convention 'together, it was not intended that the border States should bo represent ed, but their representatives were allowed to participate out of sheer courtesy (ap plause), and wo did not expect to see our courtesy requited as it had been. We did not expect to see those gentlemen come down upon us so inconsiderately. [Cries of “Order,” followed bv cheers.] Mr. Crus well, of Maryland. I appoal to the honorable gentleman from Texas to allow me one word. Gen. Hamilton declined to yield the door, remarking that tho other side had had all tbe words thus far uttered by the conven tion, and now he would speak. [Groat ap plause.] Ho continued: I have to these gentlemen that we made no objection to accommodate them in anything they asked. They have been here as five or ten to one of us, who come from the States of the far South. We have yielded very much to these gentlemen—ay, sir, we have yielded too much. [Great applause.] The very ob ject of calling this convention was to place before the intelligent millions of the United Stales, the true condition, moral, social aud political, of the non-reconstructed States. [Cries ot “that’sso,” and applause.] Wedid not come here to study how one more or one less of the representatives in Congress trom tho State ol Maryland were to be secured, nor how thut very grand achievement for the salvation ol’anation (!) wasto boaccoin- Elished in any other State; butwe didcome ere to declare what were the true interests of a large portion of the people of this coun try, irrespective of how the truth might be received by any section of the country. It is time the truth should be known ; and when wo come up in response to tbut call to aid in placing before the people of the nation the great truths which we believe will enlighten their minds and correct their judgments, how are we met? When we BUbmit to their policy, and allow them to get a platform—resolutions and an address, cut and dried—a fine fabric, it is true—when we have done thus much, we find- those whom we have assisted turning upon as with such language as: “ Oh! we have got our resolutions through, and now we intend to take snap judgment on you and, by an adjournment sine die. close : your mouths forever.” I tell you gentle men, you will not succeed. [Cries of “no, DO.”] ' The speaker proceeded in this strain at some length, charging that the opponents of the negro-suffrage agitation had broken their faith with the other members of the convention* there having been a previous VOLUME 67. understanding that the body should not ad* onrn in the hasty manner which was now proposed. He also charged that the pro gramme which the Border State delega tions bad marked out for themselves, was to hurry through their own peculiar ex* pressions of sentiment and then retire to their homes, leaving the remainder of the convention to do as it pleased on the negro suffrage question; they of the Border States thought thus to evade all responsi bility or accountability on that score, for they could tell their constituents that the action was taken in their absence. The speaker said be would go before the constit uencies of such men ana tell them that their representatives had not come up to the mark as he hadhimselk There had been a statesman of Mhcykmd not long since among the living, who would not thuß have treated the advocates of negro-suffrage. He referred to the lamented Henry Winter D:-~“ " ' javis. [Long continued applause. A voice—“ Blessed be his memory.”] The speaker expressed his belief that if the at tempt now made to muzzlS the convention was successful, it would be very gratifying to Andrew Johnson, for it would be a story that his friends and the enemies of human liberty everywhere would be glad to hear. He therefore implored the gentlemen of the other side to agree to an adjournment until to-day, as by such a course alone could they prevent the most disastrous results that would fallow from their present foolish course. Mr. Clinton, of Maryland, called the pre- vious question. Mr. Fowler, ofTennessee, expressed him self in favor of negro suflrage, and desirous of an adjournment until this morning. The people of Tennessee were not ready to forget the labors of the gallant Davis, of Mary land, whose light they had followed through all this dark controversy. That noblemun lived in the hearts of the Union men of Tennessee more truly than any man who had passed from eurlh during the last hundred years. Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee, said: Gentlemen, I rise in my feebleness to undo what I have done; but before Idoso I wish lo make a few remarks. I had no conver- sation with any gentleman from the State ol Maryland on this subject; I was concerned in no conspiracy whuteveragainstanybody or any delegation. I knew that a large number of delegates were going away to night, among whom were a number from my own State. 1 knew, and stated the fact,' that we had been four daysand nights together, laboring hard; wo had done a good work, and done it well, but I appre hended we might getintosomemisehievous discussion here and do more harm than good, und'l-inoved that we should adjourn Some gentleman, not through any un kind feeling toward me, but through n mis taken appreciation of my motives, has said that we were afraid of the negro suffrage question and sought to dodge it. Why I should feel disgrucud now and forever, if 1 felt doubtful on any subject of national concern. J never was claimed on both sides of any question, and never intend lo be. While 1 am satisfied with what bus been done, 1 urn the advocate of negro suffrage and of impaitial suffrage. (.Great applause, including “three cheers for Brownlow.’'J I would sooner be elected to any office un- der heaven by loyal negroes than by dis loyal white men. [Applause.j I would sooner associate in private life with a loyal negro than a disloyal white man. I would sooner be buried in a negro graveyurd than in a rebel grave yard. [Applause.] If I have after death to <jo either to hell or to heaven , I shall prefer to </o with loyal neyrocs to hell than with traitors to heaven. 1 now with draw my motion to adjourn sine die. [Cheers.] (»en. Warmouth, of Louisiana. I move that when we adjourn it will be until to morrow morning at 10 o’clock. Agreed to. ]Applauso.] Senator Willey, of West Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I simply rise to make an inquiry pertaining to the transaction of the remain ing business of the convention. I desire to know whether it is expected that the dele gates to this body from the reconstructed States represented here are to take part, either by voting or by discussion, in the re port which we have been apprised this evening will be made to-morrow morning. [Cries of “No, no.’’] Well, then, sir.lsup po.so that the business of the convention having been finished, so fur as the border States are concerned, those gentlemen from the other States will not take offence if the members from those States, called by urgent business, should go home to night. Now, while I am up, I desire to express my unqualified regret to hear from the gentleman from Texas (Gen. Hamilton) the sentiments which he has expressed. Sir, Texas has no more firmer friends than the men that dwell upon our Virginia hills Hundreds, if not thousands, have labored in that old State in defence of that gentle man’s fireside and in defence of his rights; and I think it came with a very ill grace, and it grated harshly on my ears, to hear men whom we have loved so well charging us here with enmity to their interests. No*, sir, we have no such feeling, and I trust we never shall have such a feeling. We are and have been for Texas and for the South. I was obliged to my friend from Tennessee mr the kind manner in which he spoke of West Virginia. Thank God, she has made a record for herself; she is beyond reproach ; we have reconstructed ourselves upon a basis as firm as the Allegheny mountains, which we inhabit. (Applause.) Allow me to say, Mr. President, that ne gro suffrage is no bugbear to me. In my place in the Senate of the United States, and, as I am well assured, in the face of the public seutiment of my native State, I took ground in favor of negro suffrage. [Ap plause.] It is not from me, then, that its friends may expect any hostility or dispo sition to retard or embarrass them in their glorious work, or even in securing impar tial suffrage in the Southern States. In that lam with them heart and hand. We do not allow rebels to vote in our section, sir ; there, at least, they are on a level with ne groes, lor neither can vote. Governor A. I. Boreman, of West Vir ginia, said that the original design of this convention looked to laying before the peo ple of the country a statement of facts, upon which it was expected that the Congress of the United States would be sustained as distinct from the present Executive. He continued: Sir, I feel that the success or defeat of our cause depends upon the action of this con vention—that themaintenanceof the Union itself depends upon it. I feel that if this convention, including the Border States of the South who are here, shall adopt this “dogma” of as it is called, we are ugum irretrievably gone, and gone forever. [Cries of “No, no.”] Mr. Presi dent, 1 say from the honesty of my heart, that I know the temper of the people of my State, and I speak here for them. If the Border States had not been invited here to participate in this convention, these gentle men from the extreme Southern States might properly take any action that would seem best to them; but here we are, sir. Wo are now held responsible for the action of this convention, whatever it may be, und we go buck home with aud hearts, fear ing that the consequence is that the Hag of the Union is struck in our country and that of the rebellion is elevated. [Cries of “ Never.”] The Chair reminded the speaker of the state of the question, and requested him to limit his remarks. Governor Boreman promised to comply, and added: I believe that these gentlemen from the non-reconstructed States are ear nestly seeking to do right, and promote the best interests of their section of country; but I appeal to them to take the testimony of the gentlemen who are here representing the Border States as to the true condition of affairs iu that section. I profess to know the temper of my people better than those gentlemen. A prejudice exists that the gentlemen cannot realize. True, it may be said sucli a prejudice ought not to exist, but the fact of its existence cannot be blot ted out, and we have to meet facts as they are. The Chair again directed the gentlemau to confine his remarks to the question. Several delegates inquired what was the question. By direction of the Chair the Secretary then again read the resolution. Mr. Sherwood, of Texas, contended that the gentleman from West Virginia [Mr. Boreman] had risen to a point of order, but was now taking advantage of the conven tion to make a speech. Governor Boreman said that his remarks had been so nearly confined to the subject, that, in a body of this kind, where the rules were not strickly enforced, he thought his remarks wore very nearly in order. He said that he did not oppose the pending resolution, but wished to call his attention to the request which he had made, that this convention being adjourned, the delegates from the non-reconstructed States should call a meeting and pass their resolutions. He desired to have a platform upon which bis colleagues and himself could go before the country. Several delegates. Wehave no authority to do that;” ‘‘we cannot dissolve in that way.” - A delegate stated that he was one of a large minority who wished to incorporate in the report of the Committee on Resolu tions, as a member of that committee, a resolution on the subject of impartial suf frage, but it was suggested by the friends of the gentleman from West Virginia that the minority would have an opportunity of introducing that resolution. Instead. of abiding by the implied agreement thus entered into, those gentlemen now sought to overslaugh the friends of negro suffrage. The speaker said that those with whom he acted had been told that it was not expedK ent to endorse any such resolution, but ir the present effort succeeded, he threatened that the friends of that measure would go back to their section with their lives in their hands and appeal to the people there. PRESIDENT JOHNSUN’S JOURNEY THE PARTY AT NIAGARA. Niagara Falls, Sept. 3.—The President this mnming accepted the invitation to visit St. Louis. He will leave Chicago on Fiiday morning lor Springfield, stopping at the latter city till evening, then take the train for St. Louis, and spend next Sunday there. This morning the President was waited on by a delegation from Buffalo, withex-Pres ident Fillmore as their chairman. It is com posed of the Mayor of the city, Hons. Messrs. Ganson, E. T. Spalding, Hatch, Humphrey and others. AT TON A WAN DA. Tonawan'da.-Wo here stopped a few minutes. Ex-President Fillmore intro duced the President to the crowd, and said: Mr. Johnson, PresidentoftheUnitedStates, in behalf of my fellow-citizens I welcome you to our locality und section upon the ground that you are legally, lawfully and constitutionally the Executive of the Amer ican Republic, and may you stand and live tqsee that Constitution brought forth circling tbo whole United States us our fathers made i] for us and our children who come after us. (Cheers.) The President replied: Through your honored Chairman, goutlemen, please ac cept my sincere thanks for this cordial wel come. It will not bo expected for me to make a speech on this occasion. I can only return my thanks, and say that I feel grate ful for these demonstrations of upj robation and respect for one who lias at least tried to serve you faithfully. Your Chairman lias alluded to the Constitution. I leave it in your hands—l leave it with you, the peo ple, in whom I have always confided. [A voice—“ We will take care of it with you as our leader.’’J The Constitution, Uuion, und llag of the country are in your hands. There I kuow they will be preserved. Thanking you for this welcome, 1 bid you farewell. RECEPTION AT BUFFALO. Buffalo, 10 A. M.—At Fort Erie was deed the residence of the American Con- sul, lion. F. N. Blake. Three Hags were here displayed—one for the President, one for General Grant, and one for Admiral Farrugut. We were met at the depot by thousands of people, and with cheers. The streets, through which wo passed in carri ages, were liued with spectators, whocheer ed the President, Gen. Grunt, Admiral Fur ragut and the other excursionists. Manv of the houses were tastefully adorned with Hags and transparencies. Thousands of the people, of both sexes, and all ages and conditions, wereauxiousspectators. Cheers and waving of handkerchiefs were frequent from tkesidowalksand wiudows. The pro cession, after passing along the principal streets, reached Niagara Square at 11 o’clock. There it was received by the mili- ary in long lines, music meanwhile play- mg. All was excitement. The scone was ol the most animated character, and brilliant in appearance. The President’s party were conducted to u la.-Aufully adorned platform, and after comparative order had been re stored, ex-Presideut Fillmore introduced the President. SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT Mr. Chairman, und through you to the vast concourse that stands before me, I incompetent to present in language suffiS ciently descriptive of the feelings and emo tions produced by this reception. lam free to confess to you that siuce I started on this tour from the capital of the government toward our place of destinatiou in the West, the demonstrations that have been made by the great masses of the people are to me exceedingly llatteriug and gratifying, for I am nothing but a mortul mau, and man is susceptible to fiuttery and perhaps loves it. While I admit this defect and imperfection of our nature, I trust in God that I have discrimination and discretion enough to see the difference belween manifestations for the simple man and what the emergency and the momentous occasion brings forth. [Cheers.] There is no one who can be mis taken in the signs of Lhe times. The Amer ican people have undertaken the great work. Tnere was a rebellion commenced sometime siuce. This government com- menced with its strong arm to put that re bellion down. In the beginning of the effort certain purposes were avowed and declared and that was, that when the rebellion wus suppressed, peace should be restored; that the war should cease, and that we should again become one people, and renew all the avocations of peace, of commerce, of trade, of mechanics, and, in fine, of all that per taius to civilization and makes the great. [Loud cheers.] As has been very kindly remarked here to-day by your dis tinguished representative, whom I have known from character for years, and slightly in person, anil lo receive through him this cordial welcome, is peculiarly gratifying. [Cheers.] In the the midst of this struggle, siuce this rebel lion commenced, and, when it seemed to me that.the clouds on our political horizon were most lowering, he, while iua distant country, far removed from home, read the expose that had beeu made, or the message that had been submitted to the Congress of the United States, and sat down and penned a letter of encouragement to me, enunciat ing and reiterating the doctrines it contain ed, tendering across the great deep his en couragement Lo stand by the Constitution and the flag of our country. [Cheers.] On receiving, at such a time, that letter, I as sure you, it was peculiarly encouraging to me, fur sometimes with great perils ordiffi culty the strongest arm and the stoutest heart will yield and give up; but, thank God, with encouragement from a quarter like this, and with the approbation mani fested by the great masses of the people, so far us I have met with them, it renewed and increased my confidence that the un derstanding and intelligence of the great mass of the people will settle this question, and that the Union and Constitution of the country will lie preserved. [Cheers.] It was truly said in the beginning oftheslrug gle, I placed myself behind the Constitution of my eounlrv’as the great rampart of free dom; (Cheers) and by it I have stood un doviatingly to this moment. It has been said thatT have abandoned those who elec ted me, and I am charged with treason, but if the men before me look into the hearts of my opponents and into mine, they would see wiio the traitors to the Uuion und the Constitution are. [Cheers.] I started in this struggle in opposition to those who were trying to divide the government of the United States, aud who made themselves the leaders in the South. There I have stood. I was determined that where this great circle of the Union, this magic circle of freedom, was attacked, whether from the North or the South, my business was as far as in me lay to protect and defend it. I have stood against the attack that was made from the South; I stood there uutil victory perched upon our standard, until the army was disbanded and until the rebels came forward Lo acknowledge their error and confessed that the sword, the ar biter which they had selected, had settled the question against them. In a spirit of maguunimity they said to their sister States and to their fellow-countrymen, that they were willing to accept the terms of the Gov ernment, to be obedient to the Constitution and to receive the protection of the Union. They wanted to be a part and parcel of us again. I said this : Obey the Constitution, submit to the laws, and let us all become one people again. The work progressed, the States met in convention and revised their Constitutions, and their Legislatures assembled und did the three things required of them, aud in those three things the Cabi net participated, and one of them was your distinguished Jellow-citizen, the Secretary of State, William H. Seward; and what was then Baid to these people and their error ? We said to them—rescind your ordinance of secession. They did it. We said to them, abolish all obligations in the shape of debts contracted for carrying on the rebellion. They did it. We said to them, furthermore, we must have a great national guarantee that no one State could touch or interfere with—what was it? It was the ratification of the amendment to the Constitution of the United States abolishing slavery, now and forever, within the jurisdiction of the United States. They did it. Now that the apple of discord is removed —now that they are willing to accept of our terms—now that they acknowledge obedi ence to the Constitution and the laws—now that they are willing even to help in pay ment of the debt that has been incurred in the suppression of this rebellion—now that they are willing to take up the flag of the United States and the Constitution of the country, let us go together to the common altar, and Jet all else perish for the preser vation of the government. It was not in my nature or in my heart to say, under these circumstances, that they were not a part of the government. I said, as others nave said, they are the bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. They are our kin dred and we theirs. We are.part and par- LANCASTER, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1866. cel of a great whole. The parts are as tial to the whole as the whole is to the parts This great government cannot get along without the Sooth, without the North, the East and the West. Large as it is, it is not large enough to divide. We should have no division, but go on with the work of restoration, and resume our career of prosperity and greatness. Now, trea son has been charged against me, but against whom would I commit treason? I have filled every office in the government, and for what reason should I play the trai tor? I have acquired all that could be ac quired, but thev say I have pardoned some men, here and there. I have pardoned, both while I was Governor of a State, and since I have been President of the United States. lam one of those who be lieve that a man may sin and do wrong, and after that may do right. If all of us who have sinned were put to death, I fear, my countrymen, there would not be many of us left. I understood that when the Saviour of men came and found them con demned, instead of putting the world to death, he died and shed his own blood that the world might live. I thank you for this sincere manifestation of your regard to me as Chief Magistrate and fellow-citizen, for, thank God, I am a citizens of the United States. It is not the case, as contended by some, that I am living in a State out of the Union, and therefore am not a citizen of the United States. My State is not out of the Union, and, thank God, I am a citizen of the United States. Butin parting wi hvou on this occasion, if I knowmyselt, and f think I do (laughter), I do it with the best feelings of my heart, with wishes for our prosperity, and that the blessings ot heaven may be showered upon us. I hand over the flag of your country to you, not with twenty-five stars, but with thirtv-six stars upon it. I hand overto you the Union of these States, not a semi-circle. No, but a complete circle of States, and along with them the Constitution. (Cries of “good.” “good.”) Take the Constitution, and take the flag of your country, and take the Union, for I know they will be preserved and pro tected iu your hands. (A voice—Forever, and cheers.) One allusion, and then I am done. With out distinction of party, I have been made welcome here 10-uuy. Thank God the time is coming when men are tearing loose from the shackles of party. Thank God the time is coming when we can see the greatest and best men of the country rally around this altar instead of their party, and when we begin to see country rise above party you niHy be well assured that all is safe. Take tlie llag. I repeat, the Constitution and the Union are in your hands. I know they will be safe. Aiay the blessings of God rest upon you. Good bye. Again 1 thank you for this reception. THE DOUGLAS MONUMENT. Laying 1 of the Corner Stone. Chicaoo, Sept. 6.—The great event of to day was the laying of the corner stone of the monument to the memory of Stephen A. Douglas. The Presidential party were escorted to Fuirview, or Douglas’ place, about three miles from the city. Tbo pro cession was imposing, and included the Masonic fraternity, with a force of police and chief marshals preceding the President, and Gen. Dix, the orator of the day. Then eame Mayor Rice and Secretary Seward, the Cabinet, and other distinguished guests, Ac. Ac. Arriving on the ground, the procession formed in the vicinity of the base of the monument. The grave was beautifully de corated. Four columns, each thirty-five feet high, stood at each corner of the grave, with arches rising thirty-five feet in the centre, spanning from one to another. These were festooned with draperies and flags of black cloth, fringed with silver white. These were wound round with ornamental draperies, interspersed with rosesand ever greens. On the top of each column and over the center of the arches were urns and vases of flowers, etc. The fence around the grave was completely enshrouded with flags, so as to conceal it from view. The ground inside was strewn with wild flowers, and a marble bust of Douglas, with a model of the monument, were placed on pedestals near the head of the grave. The entry of the President’s party was the first impressive point in the proceed ings. A band of music preceded the cor tege, a battalion of Knights Templar suc ceeded, and the representatives of the Ma sonic fraternity followed. The latter ascend ed the stand and rested around the base of the monument, where they proposed to per form the ancient rites. At this point, just before the appearance of the President, the vast crowd broke the ropes placed around the reserved grounds and rusted to nearly all parts of the field. Order was fully re stored by the exertions of the templars and Ellsworth Zouaves. A light shower fell for a few moments, but finished soon enough to avoid any marring of the scene. The President and party, with uncovered heads, now entered the grounds. Secretary Seward had the President’s arm; Welles and Randall walked together; Grant ac companied Romero. At the approach of the procession, the audience, as if actuated by one simultaneous impulse, rose Lo their feet, and from the house-tops, where the cars stopped, oh theshoresof the lake, from the people in vehicles, and even on the hills, one long and hearty cheer ascended. The demonstration betokened considerable feeling, being at once an indication of en thusiasm at the presence of the President, and appreciation of the solemnity of the oc casion. On the lofty platform elevated above the rest of the assemblage was seated the most important concourse that perhaps over con gregated under similar circumstances. Most of the great officials iu every depart ment of the Government surrounded the President. The sous of Douglus were present, and reminded every one of the sad object that had assembled the pilgrims. The first course of the proceedings was a brief address by Mayor Rice. The Ma sonic Grand Master oflllinois, J. R.Gaven, appeared in front of the stand and delivered a short and touching address, in which he paid a glowing tribute to the memory ol’ Douglas, both as a friend and a Mason, and referred to the fact that a statue will bo placed on the monument, visible to the voyages of this inland sea as long as star light and sunbeams love to dance over its crested billows. The Grand Chaplain then invoked the Divine blessing on the ceremony, when the ceremony of laying the corner-stone took place according to the Masonic ritual. After blessing with corn, wine and oil, the stone was lowered in its place, while minute guns were being fixed and two bands played a dirge. The Grand Master congratulated those present on the fact that there wus present no less a person than the President of the United States, and who was, as he had heard and believed, a member of the Ma sonic fraternity. This remark was ap plauded. A prayer was then delivered by the Rev, William H. Millburn, of the Protest Epis copal Church, when the orator of the day, Miyor-General Dix, addressed the as semblage. General Dix concluded os follows: The name of him whose memory you are hon oring will be as imperishable as the history of the State, in whose service he lived and died. Borne on its annals as one who was identified with its progress and improve ments, who illustrated the policy and the social spirit of the great West, who gained strength and influence from its support and confidence, and who gloried in its energy and its unconquerable enterprise, he will be remembered, above all, for those heroic words, the last he ever uttered, worthy to be graven on Btone and treasured to the end of time in all patriotic hearts —words which come to us, as we stand around his grave, with a solemnity and pathos which no lan guage can express. When his wife bent oyer him, as his spirit was departing, and asked him if he had anything to say to his children, forgetting himself, his domestic ties, everything precious in life from which be was about to be severed, thinking only of his country, rent by civil strife and over shadowed by impenetrable darkness, ne replied, “Tell them to obey the laws and support the Constitution of the Union.” THE PRESIDENT’S TRIBUTE. The President appeared at the front ofthe platform, and delivered the following brief address: Fellow-citizens ; I have traveled over 1,100 , miles Rfter fcavmg beeninvited to attetift the ceremony of laying fbe corner stone of the monument to be erected. I will say to my friends, personal and political, that in ac cepting the invitation to be present on this occasion, it was for the purpose of bearing tastimony of my high respect for a man who perished in the public service, and one whom I respected and loved. I have no eulogy to pronounce. That has been done better than I coold do it, and will be handed down and placed in the possession of all who took an interest in the history and character of the dis tinguished individual who is now no more. Some men may wear the civic wreath which the nation weaves for those who served their country in lotty positions, or they may be graced with laurels, per haps, for those who defend her in the hour of peril, and their names may be engraved upon the imperishable records of national glory. This column is reac ed in momory of the legislator and the representative man. A consciousness of duty performed was his remuneration while living, and bis reward will be the inscription of his name high on the cenotaph erected by a grateful nation to commemorate tha services of those who lived and toiled for the people and the Union of the Stales, Fellow-citizens: I believe in my heart that if we would communicate with the dead, and cause them to know what was transpiring on earth, were it possible for Stephen A. Douglas to be disturbed from his slumber, he would rise from liis grave and shake off tne habiliments of the tomb, and proclaim the Constitution and the Union—they must be preserved. [Great applause.] Mr. Seward was then called for aud made some remarks eulogistic of the deceased. General Grant was next introduced and received a warm greeting,ashehasthrough all the places we have passed. Admiral Farragut was, as usual, warmly greeted. The other distinguished excursionists were warmly applauded. The ceremonies closed as the rain began to fall, the weather being cloudy throughout tbo proceedings. TllE RADICAL CONVENTION FRATERNIZATION OF WHITES AND BLACKS. FRKD. DOUGLASS THE LION OF THE RADICAL TRIBE. The negro Fred. Douglass had a place assigned to him in the Radical Proces sion at Philadelphia on Monday, and was more loudly cheered than the best known white man in the whole line. On Tuesday lie made a speech from the same stand from which Senator Chand ler, of Michignu, Senator Yates, of Illi nois, and other Thad. Stevens Radicals spoke. As the Lancaster public may wish to know what this impudent ne gro had to say to his Radical Republi can friends, we copy his speech from the Press. [From the Press of September sth.] Loud calls were next made for Mr. Frederick Douglass, who was introduced amid great applause, and proceeded to say: SPEECH OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS. Mr. PresidentandGentlemen; This to me is certainly an unexpected call, and I feel inyself almost entirely inadequate to respond to it. I have made many speeches, on different occasions and before large as semblages, in this country and in other countries, but I never appeared before an audience under circumstances that so en- tirely unfit me for utterance as I do to-day. I came here to this convention for no display, for no exhibition of mvself, for no attempts at oratory. It would have been enough for me, enough for those who sent me, aud enough for the race to which I belong, if I could be permitted to walk in silenceiu this grand procession and to sit in silence in the grand presence of the convention now as sembled in this city. I should have been entirely content with this—to be a-man among men. [Applause.] But, since you have called upon me, I may try to say something concerning what I conceive to be the great issue about to be tried at the ballot-box by the American people. It is well that all sides should be heard in a great crisis like this. One man may tell a good deal of truth; one race per haps may tell a large amount of truth, but it takes men of all classes, of all colors, and all conditions in life to tell the whole truth. I read the address recently adopted by a convention in this city, not of us, not with us, not for us, but I found many things in that address to which I could heartily as sent, and to nothing in that address could I assent more heartily than the powerful ar gument there made* against taxation with representation. [Laughter and applause.] If that address had emanated from a col ored convention I think I should have gone every word of it. It was only a knowledge of the motives that inspired it, and the limited construction which was to be given it, that led me at all to reject it. One of the great evils of our country in times of peace, in times of war, and all the time of our history has beeu a disposition on the part of some minds, excellent men many of them, to limit eternal and universal princi ples. That has been the great error of the American people, to limit what, in its very nature, is illimitable; to circumscribe prin ciples intended by the great Creator of the universe, aud to be equally applicable to all the people of the country. For instance, tout glorious document which cannot be : referred to too often, on occasions like this —the Declaration of Independence—to which we are all pledged—our lives, our sacred honor and all that we have ana are, declares the doctrine that all men, not a part of men, but all men ; not all white men, all men; not all Englishmen; not all men of Teutonic ; not all men of the Caucasia race, but ull men—all men are created equal. [Cheers.] That great doc trine, so limited and circumscribed, applied to a particular race, and a particular class. I regard this convention as intending to make a practical fact for this whole coun try. [Renewed applause.] But perhaps I ntn getting too broad, too comprehensive. [A voice, “ not a bit,”] But I heard at the Southern Convention a few moments ago, and I take my license to speak from the able speech there made by the late Attorney General Speed. [Three cheers for General Speed.] He gave us to understand that we were to find out what was the truth; what we felt to be the truth, and in that conven tion proclaim it, and at the ballot-box make it a law of the land. We are not one inch higher in this gathering than they are in that gathering, aud that platform, as I jus heard it before I came here. You will pardon me if’ I shall, in comiug to this platform, bring with me an individ- ual that has been associated with me for the last riVenty-five or fifty years—the ne- gro. [Laughter.] It would not be exactly fair for me to come here and not remember him or to bring him with me. I may say 1 appear here under some disadvantages, but at the same time I appear under greater advantages and responsibilities than most other men attending this convention. I am here as a representative of a multifarious constituency, such as, perhaps, no other man in the convention can be said to repre sent. In the first place I represent the black race. There is no mistaking that by the curl of my hair and Lhe flatness of my nose. In the next place I represent the white race, and there Is no mistaking that either, in so muoh so that in the State of Maine, the copperhead journals deny the negro of all credit and praise for whatever talent I may exhibit, and ascribe it entirely to the white race to which I belong. [Ap plause and laughter.] I represent the black race and the white race, and the black raca and the white race combined and so far a? my own experience goes to show it, from the peaceable manner in which the blood pf the two races have lived together for tne last flftty years in this organism, I baJve not the slightest fear of a war of races, [Great laughter.] I represent the No»h and the South, lam a citizen of the Stale of Maryland, and some have given me credit for having in my veins the blood of one of its earliest Governors. 'lt is not cus tomary for a man to disclaim his aristo cratic origin. (Laughter.) It was only twenty-eight years ago yester day that I appeared in the streets of Phila delphia—in a hurrv [ajpplause] —for then I neither had a local habitation nor a name, but I was in pursuit of both. How well I have succeeded my appearance in the pro cession yesterday must answer, I amgoing to speak to you of the claims of the negro. Some things have been settled by the war; by the tremendous conflct which has at last -subsided. Some things have been settled concerning my race, and one of the things settled is this: that the negro will fight. We have been accustomed to regard him as a natural-born Christian [laughter,] but the late war has decided that he can fight. I always knew he would, and theonlyxeason why he has not demonstrated it before is that the negro is not only a natural-born Christian, but he is a philosopher. He is a thinker, and the only reason he has not fought before is that he had no reasonable probability of whipping anybody. Assoon as he was convinced there was the slightest shadow of hope, he was ready to bare his bosom to the storm of war and to face the foe with a valor scarcely inferior, If inferior at all, to the Very best troops we have mar shalled against lhe foe. [Applause.] It is settled also that the negro Is to be a part of the American people; that he is here, and that no scheme of colonization can be adopted by which he can be eradicated from this land. The negro has been long denied his natural rights—education denied, the right oflearning to read the name of the God that made us denied, the family tie broken up—yet under it ail under all the extermi nating forces of slavery, here we are to-day, an Uncle Tom in the church aud a Robert Small in the harbor of Charleston. [Ap plause.] The question, then comes to us. Shall the presence of this vast black population in our midst be made a blessing to themselves, a blessing to us, and a blessing to the whole country, or a curse to themselves a curse to us aud a curse to the whole country? States manship has but one answer. It was given this morning from the eloquent lips of Sen ator Yates. Philanthropy has but one an swer, and it is given from a thousand pul pits and a thousand platforms to day. It is th*s: A thorough ana complete incorpora tion of this whole black element into the American politic—[cries of “Good any thing less Rian this will prove an utter fail ure, iu my judgment—with a right to the jury box, the witness-box, and the ballot box—[applause]—for men outside these boxes are in a “bad box.” [Laughter.] Our idea of government is that of de mocracy, and that is based on universal suffrage. Great as this country is, it can’t afford to have in its midst four millions of justly discontented people. Conciliation with the Southern leaders may be well. But we must not forget in our schemes of conciliation those who have been our friends, and remember only our enemies. Shall it be said that, after the great sacrifices we have made for the Union, we make terms of peace Ijy which we exalt our enemies and cast down our friends—enfranchise our enemies aud disfranchise our friends? God forbid that we should. As Mr, Douglass was stepping down from the platform, some one in the audience asked his opinion of “Beecher,” and he said: Several gentlemen have already asked me that question. I have been asked a thousand times to account for Henry Ward Beecher’s positiou. I have never been able to answer it satisfactorily. I answer it only as Mr. Beecher unswered an old Indy on one occasion, who asked him: “ Mr. B.ecber, will you please tell me in what condition Paul was when he was lifted up in the third Heaven? Mr. Beecher’s reply was: “I am sure if Paul didn’t know himself I don’t see how 1 should.” Roars of laughter.] When thespeuker had concluded, he wus heartily shaken by the hand by a number of the delegates. gUilaiUliJltia Jotoirtismeuts. gAA’KS, DIXMOBK <k CO., Successors to A. ii.
