We present below several of the speeches delivered -atthe late convention of so!. diersat Harrisburg, which we were un able, for want.of room, to give in our last 189110. The first is that of General Mc- Candless, upon taking the chair as Presi dent of the convention SPEZCII Or OZN. i'CANDLEss, I SURVIVING COMRADES : —For that seems to me the better term : I deem it a high' honor, a Ifonor I will remember to the last days of my life, to lie called upon, to preside over this convention of officers and men who battled for the life of their country—(cheers)—and battled, too, tin der circumstances, adverse for years ; cir cumstances which placed them and my self in a measure in a position antagonistic to that of Congress, Ncey, ,that the rear is over, and peace begins to assert its supremacy, we must examine the political position with the same care that goad soldiers make preparations for a battle on the field.' While the life of the nation was threatened, and the Union seemed to totter under the blows of, its enemies, we fought the battle with strong hands - and wilt kg hearts, that they might be saved. Now we , find that miserable politicians are endeavoring to defeat, by insidious wiles, what was achieved by the bleed, valor. endurance, and heroism of the - country. (Cheers, and, cries of ' Thi , :y won't sue ceed.') In this State, great for everY• thing within the country—great for the Union—so greet that it is called the key true old saying that as YefinsylVanta got., so goes the Union. (Loud cheers.) You must attack these home enemies of the country in their strongholds, just as you attacked the rebels in the field, and the victory will Certainly be assured in the one case as, in the other. (Applause ) The speaker then related the object of the meeting. Many of their comrades had been fnialed, and in consequence had organized a Soldiers' Convention at Pitta burgh, where they had proposed to speak the sentiments of the soldiers orPennsyl vania. (A voice—' They lied' Laughter and cheers.) While, however, under fair circumstances, they would support their comrades far positions o£ honor, trust, or emolument, yet they were compelled, in self-defence, to call this convention, and speak for the men who bad stood the brunt of battle. (Cheers.) This meeting. so vast, and representing the soldiers of the old Keystone State, 'proposed em phatically to repudiate the Pittsburgh gathering, and lay down a line of policy governed. only by the Union and Consti tution—(tremendous cheers)—a policy for which they fought. They intended to demand the immediate restoration of' the Southern States to their proper places in: the Union. (Cheers.) That he believed, to be their first duty, and :next., it was their duty in selecting comttaittees to see that they adopted the old resolutions of that party which always was for the Union and Constitution, and otherwise aid in re-organizing the conservative ele ments of the nation, which were-:true to the country. [Cheers.] • I don't desire to Compare this with the Pittsburgh Conven tion. f' 0. don't,' and laughter.] Let us print our list of delegates. and challenge a close scrutiny of the ,military honors won by them in the field. Take the re cords of the men here to-day; as presented here, and compare them with the recor Is in the; War Department—the only place I believe where records have not been mu— tilated—and the State, and country , will learn that the gallant hearts around me were those who sprang to arms nt the first call of their country, and rallied to the defence of the country without extra bounty or - reward. [Tremendous ap plause.) And we are here this day to maintain the position taken by us when we volunteered and becauie soldiers of the republic, thid no State of its own ac tion can go out of the Union, which is and must forever be tone and indis seluble. (Cheers.) 'We stand by this position, or we fall by it, and intend, in the language of a distinguished general, to 'fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.' (Cheers.) You remember how clear and distinct the national policy was when we were called upon to defend the liberties of the country. Congress em- phatically declared th-'t the war was for the Union, 'and that when the seceded States returnell to their allegiance the war should cease. How clear and distinct was that position. How unmistakeablein terms. No man who went to the field under that call and that promise can honestly go against the sentiments it ex pressed in the present cc, test prior will thei:l Mr. Lincoln, in "expressed lan guage, marked out a similar line of policy. There was no mistake then as to the ob jects for which so many lives were - to be sacrificed. But, comrades, how they- de serted their principles, 83 solemnly set forth, when they changed the line of operations upgin which they entered.— There is not a lawyer in the State of Penn sylvania who cannot take the decimations Of the Congress of .1861, and the present posjtion of Congress, and indict its mem bers before a grand jury and find them guiltyfirst, of false pretences; and sec ondly, of crimel far which the blood of thousands now rises - from the,ground and calls for vengeance. [Loud cheers. 1 Mark you, how cunningly this tyranny was commenced and Vie government taken charge of by these men; and our soldiers left to be slaughtered in hecatombs that the Radicals might retain their firm hold upon political. power. We went to the war for the Union as it - wris, and the Con stitution as it is— a ' noble rallying cry.

But how did they treat him. lie conduct ed the war entirely in accordance with the national policy, as unanimously expressed by Congress, , that liberty • m'ght re gn, that the Union might be saved. that the Constitution might be preserved, and that our future happiness might be assured.— [A 'voice—'And that of the world!) Yes, as my friend says, and that of flea world : for here the rest of the world can find the. freedom, denied them elsewhere ; can find a nation where the white Caucasian race govern themselves. [Applause. Yes; McClellan proposed to tight the battle of constitutionaLlibertyt-for A-merica and all mankind. 'When on the Peninsula ; whtre I had the honor to command a divieihn ; 'and I' speak but the sentiments of 'my heart,.as well as of my head, when I alluda to the gallant reserves—[loud cheers-1— the powers that be refused tq.eend to Mc- Clellan's help the 40,000 troops of Mc- Dowell, who were Within easy march of the main army. They, were held bitch but for one reason : that Itioglellen shoirld not be successful.' CThat's an') The speaker then eloquently, described the events of that period in the war. Many ef - you here remember how eagerly 'we listened for the sound of McDowafi's guns, that - our army might march into R;ehmontl, But you listened in vain.— Fighting by day and marching by night. the command wee saved ; but the blood of,every man slaughtered then cries aloud from the earth against the Radical polic3t But what magnanimity did General Mc- Clellan show Shortly after, when the army, under.Raclical and wicked manage ment,- was driven, defeated: dismaved, and diepirited into the very fortifications of Washington, when the - country trem bled with apprehension before the ad vancing tread of Lee's victorious host, this wronged an, this abused and out raged soldier, This) true patriot, General McClellan, willingly obeyed ';the orders of his traducers and was taken I from retire ment as the Romens to - dclCiecinnatus from the plough to serve hip country.— (Cheers.) Anti when the soldiers heard that 'Little Mac' Wes at the ;head of the column once more, when they learned that their glorious organizer was about to lead them on to battle they reformed the broken ranks, and marching gelidly againet the enemy, ayerthreW and defeat ed the flower of the rebel aatey.

(Renented cheers ) And new, my comrade's, sea the .n a lir of chair sits a mae —( loud cheering for 'An drew 'Johnson)—whose principles com manded • him to say, in the language of his great predecessor, Andrew Jackson, that ' By the Ef,ernal. the Union must and shall be preserved . ( Renewed cheers.) 'The' speaker eloquently eulogized Mr. Johnson, who seemed,- he said, to have imbibed the glorious spirit of Jacksonism and he would maintain that spirit under all circumstances. We must 'stand Iby Andrew Johnson. ('We will,' and cheers.) Remember, too, that strategy is some times as necessary in the councils ae in the field. When you maintain the Presi dential policy, be magnanimous. Stand aloof when his patronage is disbursed, and let those of the Conservative Republicans have it, who have gallantly faced expul sion from their old party. A Voice—we . don't want office, but only the Union.— (Loud cheers.) Such conduct as this will win the Union and restore our liberties. The speeker then a Ilyded to the Radical sneer that major-generals would not attend the con vention. But few chnseryative soldiers ever attained that rank. Why, my com rades, had you been as able As Julius Caesar, and as full cf - titrategy as I' 7 :aped-ton, and had you not bow d down before; the black idol, no bright stars would ever shine upon your shoelders. ('That's' so,' and loud laughter.) ; They offered! me high rank, •but I rfused it, unless' the war was prosecuted f r the Union and the Constitution, but that they were not ;pre pared to pledfe, and: so I retired, feeling that • /, " , The poet of honor was a private state." (Cheers.) I never held an office in my life—(A voice, 'You aught to'),--but still I feel it my duty to animate the hearts of all with the same stiatiments as animate my own. You must act with the•eame energy in putting leen Northern/ rebels as you did in put iog down Southern rebels. ('We will,' and cheers.) 'ld this contest we must win!, for''the conservative e'ement of Pennsylvania was always ; pre dominant, and -always would have re mained so, ',but that the Radical dema gegues spread the story that the Demo crats were opposed to the war. ('lt wan a lie.') That is rather Strong but very truth ful language. [Laughter.] This meeting gives the lie to the charge. When the roll of honor is called you will find] that the men who tell with their feet to the foe were, in ' good part, conservatives.— why, when was a war in this country ever conducted without Democratic brains and Democratic baytinets? The record is as clear as noon-day. Quite every star added to our glorious banner was added./ under a Democratic • administration; and all the great, liberal policy of the country has been Democratic. Away back, in our past history the English claimed theright 'to use the sea as their especial highway. A man named Monroe differed with-them and said that Atnericanlships should ,not be stopped on their. .course, as highway man stop and rob unoffending travellers. England submitted after a little blood letting. This same Monroe looked for ward to the time when the old monarchies -of Europe would die from natural car- Tuption, and determined that no despot Ritotild ever step on American Soil.— [ChWers.] . And while the Dennicracy were in power no foreign- soldier I ever peaceably-stepped his foot upon this, con tinent; but when a change came, that moment Mexico was invaded and a; mor e archy established on her territory,, It is only ,a _question of time when the con servatives set power, and then, perhaps, Mexico- will, be united to this country, end th 4 matter of her peace and stability forever established. In conclusion; I ill' add that energy is all we need to' win , in this contest. You must enter upen the present duty sharply and • determinedly. Organize • in your respective districte Thing out the laggards. As you went to battle to win, so you can win now ; and your votes will fall on the enemies of the country now, and with the same effect as your bullets fell on the rebels in battle.-H [Cheers.] Yon are fighting no longer for the abolition of slavery, but against the 111 til 1 A 1 .? 1 k' . . abolition of the Constitution. [Loud cheers.] Attack your enemies boldly.— Sustain the policy of Andrew Johnson . as the only means of saving the republic.— Fight bravely and you will surely elect as the next governor the noble, honest man,lliester Clymer.- [Great enthusiasm.] I would Ike to have General Geary take the stump with me or a dozen other-sol diers I can 'name, to discuss 'the question whether we fought to get e'even States out of the Union instead of keeping them in. The General concluded by an eloquent appeal to the convention to oppose all soldier candidates who did not maintain the principles for which they fought CAPT. lIROCLWAY'IEj PPYICI.I lie alluded to the fact that he was only to speak in order to fill ußthe.time which might elapse until the committee on reso lutions reported. That might be within ten minutes, and he would selcct no theme on which to make a speech; He proceeded to contrast. the Soldier's Union Convention' with the Itulical affair whik h assembled at Pittsburg on the sth of June.

DIVIS: ac- DEAR SIR : I have the- honor of knowledging the receipt of your letter in viting me to be present at the Soldier's convention to be held at Harrisburg, on the Ist of August. I regret that my en gagements are such as to deprive ine of the pleasure of accepting your invitation. When the Confederate ablditirs, in the spring of 1866, surrendered their arms and returned to their homes, we assumed that the object of cur great work was nearly accomplished. When we witnessed at that time the kind feelings manifested by our officers and soldiers toward' their late opponents, we felt assured that ftll hatred and bitterness between the two sections would eventually cease to I exist, and that slavery, the great cause 'of Our troubles, baying been removed, we ebould •' soon have a better and more per:ect Union than we ever bad before. When a few, days later the 'President announced the terms and conditions upon i _which he was willing to restore be the Southern people all their former rights and privileges, and these people cheer fully accepted and complied with each and' every one cf his conditions, we cer-_ tainly had reason to look for the immedi ate restoration of the Union. But in this we have been disappointed. There exists Wherein an army which is not actuated by the feelings which moved the men com posing the armies of Grant end Sherman. men who were ready to grasp the bands of their late antagonists as 'soon as those hands were no banger raised against • our Government. There exists among us a political party, which, for the purpose of retaining power. has prevented the resto ration of the Union, which was to belle sole of of the war—et party which would hold a portion Of(the States in -sub jection, teaching the rishpg generation in both sections lessons of jealousy and ha tred. instead of seeking to make them •forget the bitter past, and become, as they must become, it our Union is ever-to he of vslue one people in interest and feel leg. This p.rty, until Congress ass •mbled. 'indignantly denied any intention of post poning theeestoratien of the Union, and - appealed to flea p• ople for support, on the• ground of being the only faithful and 'reliable friends of the President and his policy. This mask has now been dropped, and the issue before the people is clear - and unmistakable. Let those who fought for a restoration of the Union pow come forward and vote for it. and our victory is assured. Very respectfully, etc., H. W. Stocuit. When General Davis Iraqi finished read ing the above letter, the - crowd, many of whom had served under Slocum, involun tsrily•burst into cheers for the gallant r. Curious Suit.—Law in La Crosse. Prom the LiCrow' Democrat, Aug. 6 3 There came 2ff lio-dey before Police Justice Hubbard, in this city, a singular law suit growing out'of the following par ticulars : Charles ltorland and ROL W. Undine, two young men about twenty-five years of age, have for some months been courting n young lady. The men grew jealous of each other, and each strove to win the girl to consent to a marriage. But she could not decide which to have.

When Un dine returned after a forty minute walk on a hot right, he was made still hotter by seeing Itorland coolly sitting on the porcu where he had been for thirly-five minutes, as ho had .only stepped around the corner and then returned, preferring to sit with the young lady to walking over railn)ael ties. `After some hard words Udine told• the girl to go to—a hotter place than LaCrosse, and left the house.
