DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
At 12 o'clodlc on Wednesday noon, the
fifth instant, Hon. Moiton McMichael,
accompanied by a number of distin
guished gentlemen, ascended , tho plat
form, and as the to-be temporary chair
man approached the rostrum there was a
wild outburst of applause from the au
ditorium, intermingled with the National
medley, which... Beck's Band was giving
in its finest style.
Just prior to the Convention being
called to order the band gave, with tell
ing effect, " ,Tohn Brown's soul is.rnarch-
ing on," and the scene at this moment
was exciting in the extreme, the voices
of the delegates, those- from the South
ern States being particularly noticeable,
joining in the chorus. This novel pro
ceeding aroused the enthusiasm of the
spectators, who indulged in cheering and
owing their haudtcm•chiefs.

Messrs. Lane, of Indiana ; Platt, of

Mn. MCMICHAEL'S OPENING AMILtESS.
Gentlemen of the Coneentian: I thank
you for the privilege of presiding, even
for the brief period I shall enjoy that
honor, over such an assemblage as this.
I am the more gratified because as a
delegate from Pennsylvania, and a i:esi
\ lent of Philadelphia, it gives me an
occasion to welcome you to our State
and city; to say to you all how glad we
nee to have you among us ; how careful
we shall endeavor to be to promote your
comforts while you remain with us ; how
dehirous that when you leave us youlvill
,leave us with such impressions as will
induce you frpquently to return. Under
any circumstances, the presence of so
many distinguished men, gathered from
all parts of this mighty land, which
grows and stretclids so rapidly that_ in
these. rccufring quadrennial convoca

rights and civil functions, and soon to be

circumstances your presence would he

'especially so in View of the purpose
which has brought you la - ther. • The

thoroughly vindicated. The great heart

along with his fellow soldiers, he under
went during tho war, his sacrifices bf
Case and comfort, his perils by day and
by night, the exposures by moans of
which those who now revile him wore
able to secure luxurious repose at a safe
distance from danger, they are quite
willing ho should indulge in "palace
cars and cigars, add sea side loitorings,"
and they moan to furnish him with the
opportunity of enjoying these for at least
four years to come.
As to the Vico Presidency, no doubt,
gentlemen, tliere will be , varions prefer

to obtain the best man ; and when the
choice- is. ultimately made I trust we
shall all feel that wo have succeeded. In
regard to the platform to be adopted it
is not for me to anticipate ; but along
with other important doctrines it will
undoubtedly contain the widest recogm_
tion of human freedom, and the clearest
affirmation of the duties which the
overnment owes to its laboring masses,
wherever and however employed, in town
or try; and with such candidates
and such a creed, whether we have fo

once powerful liarty, but pow so foci&
that it iscl 4 ying piteously to its enemy
fur succor ; or an incongruous alliance of
ill-assorted -factions, with no bond of
union but the g,iced of office, or all of
them combined, we shall go forth con
quo•ing and to conquer.
Mr. - McMichael was frequently inter
rupted by applause, end his allusions to
the Cincinnati and Baltimore move
ments were received with the wildest
enthusiasm. Three times three were
given when ho said : "The election with
us is h foregone conclusion." Grant's
Caine, ag;iin, aroused the feelings of the
audience, and prolonged applause
followed, the delegates rising in their
seats to give vont to their enthusias . m.
Mr. Mc:Memel concluded amidst wild
applause, and three cheers were given
with a will for the chairman,, on the
motion of a delegate in the parquet
circle.
The chairman—lf there is no oljec
ion, the names of the gentlemen se

credentials.
There being no objection, the Com
nittee kvas thus constituted
The chairman then announced that the
Secretiky wOula call the roll of States,
so that the *Orman of each dolugation
might announce the name of a member
of the committe on organization.
Mr. Kirk, of Ohio, moved that the
chairman of each delegation announce
the names of the committee on argani":"

regulations, and the Committee on reso

on a division by show of hands.
AfteN.K .,. call of the States had' boeu
concluded, oir - Motion, the Territories
were called in order.
The committee on organization then

tation
A motion was made and lost that the
choice of the committee on resolutions
be deferred until the committmota or
ganization reported. The roll,or States
was abOut to be called for the announce
ment of the committee on resolutions,
when Mr. Hoffman, of yirginia,' said :
"Two committees remain to be selected.
I now move that V. hen the roll of States
is called that the chairman of each State
delegation announces the name' of a
member of the committee on resolutions
and a member of the committee on rules
and order of business. This will cave
valuable time and assist the business of
the convention." The motion was
agreed to..
THE souTnEns DELE(IATEs
It was -ittnignnedd by the Secretary
that the Southern delegates, at , the' in
stance of the Virginhi delegatioh, wete
requested to 'meet for consultation in
Horticultural Hall after the adjournment
of the session of the Convention. The

General.,Logan was rather unwillingly
conducted to the front of the stage,
amidst the loudest applause. lle friaid :
There is nothing. that would delight mo
more than to -favor you with a speech,
but if you allow :no to be the judge I
will not attempt - ie.. , I am so out of voice
from last night's 'effort that:l do not wish
to attempt — it. There aro many men
hero more eloquent than I, whom you
ar/inixieus to hear. (A. voice : "We
want to hear words from Logan.") I
have only to say thatjhe hind is anxious
to hear froM you, and I am proud to know
that after four years of trial I ilul more
enthusiasm among the - people for Gen.:
Grant than when,wo first presented him
Co, the - Amoriean..,people. I3e
_has per
formed the duty you imposed upon him,
to your entire satisfaction, and- you can
truly say : " You have been. faithful .

SPEECH OF GOVERNOR MORTON
Upon the conclusion of Gorritt Smith's
.speech, Gov. Morton .was loudly called
for, and being conducted to the stage,
spoke as follows : -
Gentlemen of the tronvention—l soothe
certain evidence of victory in Novombor,
in the enthusiasm. It is spontaneous
and not manufactured. This audience
represents the Republican party whinli
has a groat mission to perform to take
care of the country. To it this great
nation must-be committed m the future.
The Republican party is not a man
'worshipper. We hold Tatter to princi
ples, we stand by the pioneers of princi
ples as long as they remain faithful.
When a pioneer falls, Ip3 falls farther
than anybody else. Among several na
tions of antiquity the fathers had a right
to kill their own offspring. Ile s denied
the right of fathers of principles to kill
the party. Mr. Morton then went over
the history of the Republican party, and
announced his understanding of what it
had to do—to serve the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments that. no party
shall dare to question their legality or
validity. The rights of the colored men
should be secured beyond peradventure.
Our, work w ill not be done until tho-law
shall be .equally performed. The Ku-
Klux organization should be subdued.
It but sleeps. It will awake to life
shortly before the election. The Govern
ment should be firm and bold towards
them. Our (16vernment protects its citi
zens in foreign countries, and would re-.
sent a murder in any other country.
Shall it then ho said that the Govern
ment has the power to protectits citizens
in every country but their own? I hold
that when a State is unable' - to protect
its Citizens that the Government 'of the
United States has the powciand right
to do it.. I favor what was called- the
Ku-Klux Law, it was intended as an ar
bitrary lasi , for the President, but for the .
purpose of protecting, the lives of mill
ions of people of sonic of
,the Southerly
States.

abuse the power, and he litrirsThot.

Mr. Lannigan, of•Texae, said wo have

Union. Texas desired to be heard, and
ho desired to call upon Gou. G. W. Car
pr,laf Texas, who led a brigade of troops
in the.Rebol army during the war.
A VdICE FROM TILSAS
Being introduced, Gen. Geo. W. Car
ter spoke as allows " Gentlemen of
the Convention : A speech from mo at
this time is not very appropriate, lam
an el-Confederate soldier, who has been
reconstructed. My platform at the end
of the war was to have no prejudice, and
take what I could get. Wo have come
through a war and learned a lesson, and
sn have our people. ,One of the lessons
is that the American .people's wish is to
be respected: We will stick to the coun
try and follow its fortunes. In the issue
between Grant and Greeley the Southern
people'prefer the practical business man
who makes them behave themselves.
"I feel, to-day, that i 6 the'Democrats
endorse Greeley,- the majority of the
Democrats in Louisiana will vote for
Giant
=!
M. Strobach, of Alabama, said that it
was with diffidence that he appeared be
fore the Convention. The country was
well aware of the feeling.of the intelligent
and educated masses of the foreign ele
ment. A slur hid been cast upon them
by a newspaper of this city, and ho de
sired to say ono word in reply to that.
He came here as a representative from
Alabama, and he would speak first - as
such, and secondly as a representative of
the German element. He denounced as
a lie that the delegates wore either office
seekers or' ciffice-holders. Ho chine from
the Ku-Klux regions, and ho was willing
to testify that unless the strong arm of
the law was °Morcott, the su-Klux would
roam at pleasure. He would instance
one of their outrages—that of burning
up a colored man andavhite woman whose
only offence was,tharethe were marri?di
The speaker said this was a matteriof
taste, and was nobody's business but
their own: [Applause.] The Govern
ment needed a man of action and not of
words. - Where were there more brilliant
language than : "We will fight it, out
on this line if it takes all summer:"
" Wo have whipped thorn once and wo
will whip them again," and "Let us
have peace.'' [Wild applaue.]
The speaker then turned his attention
to General Schurz, and stated that he
was not faithfully iopresenting the views
of his countrymen. 111 concluded by
saying that if a fair election was allowed
in Alabama, thet:e„was no doubt about
Republican result, and the German
eloMMit there would convince Carl
Schurz that he had not a corporal's guard
of supporters.
The speaker took his seat amidst the
greatest applause. He was followed by
n lively quickstep by the band.
The Chairman then introduced the
ENIORY D. STORRS, OF ILLINOIS.
ktr...-..Storrs said this assemblage did not
look as though the mission of the Repub
lican party was ended. Ho represented
the great " carpet-bagger" St 4 ate.
Within 25 years she has filled up magnifi
cently. The RepubliCan party bad never
made a promise which it has not kept,
nor a contract which it had,not-fulfilled;
It had been said that Grant had beenun
true and unfaithful ; but such charges,
as the people well knew, wore not true.
The Republican party was one of deeds
iind not words, and - iet achievement and
not of promises.
At the conclusion of the address of Mr.
Storrs, a delegate from California asked
whether the Committee On Resolutions
wore ready to report.
The chairman announced to the con
vention that the Committee would be
ready tri roportin a half hour.
A delegate in the rear of the house
called the attention of the President lo
the disorder which existed in the oroovilen
aisles. The Chairman ordered them to
be cleared.
— . On motion of GM , . 131 ow, of .MissOuri,
ox-Senator Henderson, of Missouri, was
called upon to address -the Convention.
He said : "
ADDREBS OF OEN. lIEN.DIMBON

have a text to talk about talk more
to the purpose. I also .would prefer to
wait until the President and Vico Presi
dent be nominated. Whatever you
think 'of Missouri, 1 toll you it is united.
The quarrel in our State is unfortunate,
but it is now healed. Some of us favored
the repeal of..the..restiiction of suffrage.
I originally favored 'amnesty, but tho

after his election, scorned to feel that ho
owed most to the Democratic party, and
ho has loft us. .rte'r that, election was

Mr. Lynch said that, after the eloquent
expression given to tho feeling and
opinions of the colored people yesterday,

ho not know that his brethren were
anxious to hoar that Gen., Grant had

bad been suggested that it wkis necessary
to• kill the Democratic party. He begged
leave to Suggest that that, party was
dead, and that no body lying in the
cemetery could do as much harm as the
living form. [Applause.] That party
was lying in the ground, mouldering,
and no danger was to be feared from it.
[Applause'. ] The colored mon of Missis
sippi intended to unite in a body, in
November next, to re-bury forever the
corpse of the Democratic party. •it was
to be rejoiced that the Republicans bad
established a sentiment and principle
that could not be forgotten. Opposition
to General. Grant meant war. It meant
opposition to principles that triumphed
during the war. [Applause.] Tho
name of General Grant is imprinted upon
the hearts and memories of the colored
race just as the molten lava marks
. its
way on Vesuvius. • The colored people
were a grateful race; and they 'would
show their appreciation in November
next. Black muscle was necessary to
develop Amerikr civilization, and it
would be given heartily and freely. The
Southern whites wore crying " Save us
or we sink," and the colored population
were doing as much as could be done to
save , them. [Wild applause.] Brick
Pomeroy and others were invoking their
God, if they have any (laughter), that
Grant should not be nominated, but The
Gods would not listen to such appeals,
and the speaker felt assured that Grant
would not only be nominated, but re
elected by an immense vote. The South
was for Grant, whose name was a tower
of strength. r ii
The peroration of Mr. Lynch was very
eloquent, and was loudly applauded.

As Governor of Ohio, ho had been
brought into contact with the people.
Of this State he knew the popular feel

nated for Vice President—Ohio would
give him the same majority which they
gave Grant four years ago. .
Every man who was connected with
the Liberal movenibbt from Ohio had
become disgusted, and were now pre
pared to take part with us. He had
talked with a distinguished statesman
from Illinois in regard to the Cincinnati
movement, and asked how it was that
Greeley had been nominated. The only
reply was that Illinois could not got
Trumbull or Davis, and therefore would
make the proceedings of Ole Convention
as ridiculous as possible, aid nominated
Horace Greeley. [Laughter and cliSers.]
He did not want to consume the time
of the Convention, and therefore lie had
moved that the rules be suspended, in
order.to place in nomination candidates
for President and Vico President.
Ile renewed his motion, in order that
the UR() of the Convention might bo
saved.
