From the Columbia Carolinian,
The Philadelphia Convention.
Speech of Gov. ORR.
The Great Convention, to which the eyes of the country have been turned, has performed its mission and separated. Evert State and Territory in the Union has been reparented, an the deliberations have been marked with a unanimity and enthusiasm truly typical of the object for which so important an assembly was convened.
The Radicals tried hard to disturb its proceedings hat failed. The New York Tribune and Philadelphia Press published incendiary articles to excite popular passions, and it was hoped that Fernando Wood, C.L. Vallandigham, and other delegates obnoxious to the Republicans, would create discord by their presence; but these gentlemen, with an unselfishness worthy of all praise, promptly and patriotically withdrew from the council, and thus the monster of radicalism was disarmed of its last weapon. As a means of allaying all sectional excitement and securing harmony, it was decided to have some Southern man speak before going into the Convention, for the purpose of defining the position and views of the Southern people. Governor Orr, of South Carolina, was thought the best man for the purpose.
The Philadelphia Age contains a graphic account of the great meeting of the Convention. From the account given it appears to have been a most enthusiastic ovation in which His Excellency Gov. Orr received a gratifying share. After the reading of the resolutions the report says: The President then introduced Governor James L. Orr, of South Carolina. To say that Governor was received with applause might be perfectly true, but the phase in these days has become so hackneyed that it would give no idea at all of the applause he received. There were shouts and cheers, and stamping of feet, and when the babel was at its worst confusion, the band joined in with a peal of all its instruments that made the hall echo and re-echo again. Governor Orr is a man whose head is gray, whose form is portly and who has the ease of one who is used to being the target of a thousand eyes. He evidently was gratified with his reception, the first he had from a Northern audience for nearly five weary years.
the Governor after an eloquent opening remarked that he did not propose, on the present occasion to review the cause of the separation; but he would review two or three point, in connection with the late controversy which would show them and show all honest men in the country that the people of the South, when once they had surrendered, when once they laid down their arms in good faith, they were ready and fit to be trusted by the people of the North. (Applause) When the contest that now over, commenced, the people of the South believed that it was right to secede from the Union. His audience did not believe that it was right, or that the Southern people were compelled to leave the decision to the only arbiter-force. The people of the North said the Union could not be dissolved. The people of the South said they had a right to withdraw from the Union. The contest came -the South subjugated- the Northern[[Paper Cut Start Column 2]]
vast resources, and the colonization of its vast extent of territory. We can look to all these; to the protection of the country with much more interest than the people of the Northern States, who have suffered nothing during the five long years that have passed. Contented now that the great issue has been decided, that the extreme States-rights views have been repudiated and condemned, we desire to assist in making a good government; we desire to rise; we desire that our privileges as citizens shall be preserved and respected; that we be brought back to where we were before the unfortunate differences in which we have been engaged. The delegates of the Southern States had knocked at the doors of the Congress of the United States; they had been the best men the Southern people could send they had been loyal men-men of talent purity, integrity, and of the highest personal, social, and intellectual worth. But, with all these recommendations, they had knocked and knocked in vain. They had waited long months in vain-in vain for the privileges our fathers had handed down to us. Was it right that the returning States should be deprived of their rights and privileges? (Applause, and cries of No! no!) The right was guaranteed to those who were taxed, for under this government taxation and representation were indeed inseparable. When men presented themselves in either House of Congress-men whose loyalty was unquestioned-they should be received as the representatives of the State that sent them. People who are free are just, and those who are just are generous so that the Governor believed that the wish of the Northern people had nothing to do with the action of their representatives in Congress, and he believed that their action would be condemned by the votes of a majority of the people of the Northern States.(Applause)
There was a crisis in the affairs of the country, a time of imminent peril both to the people of the North and of the South and he hoped that the people of the North might, by the 4th of March next, roll up such vote that the Radicals might be effectually deprived of all share in this government. He had a great hope that the Radicals would be effectually stopped in their purposes in the great State of Pennsylvania.(Applause.) She had the cognomen of the Keystone State, the keystone of the arch which supported this great Union. Old Pennsylvania stood steadfast by the Union and when the Federal Government called for soldiers in the very front, with all alacrity stood the gallant sons of Pennsylvania.(Cheers and applause) They had preserved what they had fought so well for, but they had now a duty to perform-they had to preserve the Constitution of our fathers. On them fell much of the responsibility of this occasion. He hoped in the coming campaign they could elect their candidate for governor by a triumphant majority. Then the glowing stars and stripes would float in glory and peace, and two words of the immortal Webster would indeed be realized: "Liberty and Union now and forever, one and inseparable."
Governor Orr retired with much the same ovation he had received when he was introduced to the audience. When the stan ping-a style of applause so characteristic of American audiences-had ceased, enthusiastic individuals
to Cowan is the Chairman. The Committee consists of two from each State and Territory. The members of the Committee from Georgia are P.W. Alexander and Gen A.R. Wright.
A National Convention of Soldiers of the Northern and Southern States is arranged to take place in September at Cincinnati. The leading officers of the Union and Confederate armies are active in this work. It will be a movement cooperative with that of the Union Convention.
Philadelphia, Aug. 16.
The Convention met at 10 o'clock. The Wigwam was crowded to its utmost capacity. Half of the audience are ladies. Senator Cowan from the Committee on Resolutions and Address, presented a Declaration of Principles, which was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted. It declares that the war just closed, has maintained the authority of the Constitution, and has preserved the Union with equal right and digninity, and authority of all States perfect and unimpaird, that representation in Congress, and in the Electoral College, is a right abiding in, and a duty imposed upon every State, and that Congress, nor the General Government have any authority or power to deny the right to any State, that Congress has no power over the elective franchise, that belongs to each State, that no State has the right to withdraw form the Union, that on all Constitutional Amendments all States have an equal right to vote, that slavery is abolished and forever repudiated, that the National debt is sacred and inviolable, and the Confederate debt invalid. It recognizes the services of Federal soldiers and sailors and debt due by the nation to them and their widows and orphans, and endorses President Johnson for his steadfast devotion to the Constitution, laws, and interest of the country. The address was prepared by Raymond of New York. It was read by that gentleman, and unanimously adopted. The National Committees, Executive and Financial, were then announced.
Senator Doolittle said in an opening address that the Convention was one of the greatest event of our days. It was the first National Convention in six years, and in the interim there had been blood, agony and tears. Our brothers had fallen, and our resources been wasted on a thousand battle-fields, but thank God the assurances here tell us peace has come at last. If the people of the whole country could see the fraternal feeling here, there would be no struggle at the pools this fall. (Great applause.) But the whole people cannot be here to witness what is transpiring, the greater work rests on us. From this time until the election of the next Congress we should be untiring in our exertions to see that if the next Congress, or this one, shall continue to refuse this sacred right of representation to equal States, that the next shall recognize them. (Applause.) When that is done, Union is restored, and when Union is restored, we shall be prepared to enter upon a higher and nobler career among the nations of the earth? than has ever yet been occupied by any Government upon which the sun of heaven ever shone?. (Applause.)
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 16, 2, P.M.
Convention adopted Declaration of Principles, and adjourned, sine? die. There will be an address issued to the people of the United States.
[ 4th column ]
that as the War Department has the records of all the volunteer officers who served during the late war, which records are made up by Boards created for that express purpose, it is better able to judge of he merits of applicants for these positions than are mere politicians and Congressman. These views are understood to be shared by General Grant?, who merely assented to there? ? referred to because of the majority voice against him; but as some appointments of field officers have already been made in the new regiments, it would seem that General Grant, to ascertain the extent, succeeded? in having the arrangement set aside. Thus General Merritt and Custer have been appointed Lieutenant Colonels of two of the negro cavalry regiments and other probable appointments are mentioned. No company officers have been appointed, nor will they be appointed under any arrangement yet they decided upon other than that heretofore?, communicated although a strong effort is being made to have that arrangement entirely set aside, taht all applicants may stand on the records they made in the late war and not upon the political influence they may bring to bear.
Notwithstanding the contradictions of the partisan? press I repeat my? statement based upon authority, that General Stoneman will relieve General ? at New Orleans.
THE PRUSSIANS RUNNING A TOBACCO FACTORY IN BOHEMIA.--At Kaltemberg a little place near the town Kellin, the celebrated battlefield in the seven years war. there is a tobacco factory employing some twenty-five hundred hands. Upon the occupation of the place by the Prussians the Superintendent stopped work, and in vain did the Prussian officers ask him to continue. offering to purchase and pay for the manufactured article. Refusing, he was finally expelled, the Prussian military authorities took full possesion of the factory, sent for a director to Berlin, the workmen returned to their work, and the Government is now manufacturing tobacco for the Prussian army in a Bohemian town with Bohemian operatives. This story we condense from a Paris correspondence of L'Independence Belge of July 26. The same correspondent writes of a story now said to be current at Vienna, that "if" the Prussians have beaten Benedek, it was only because they maliciously turned the course of the electric fluid, so that while Benedek thought he was telegraphing to Vienna, his despatches went back to Berlin.
The Knoxville, Tenn., correspondent of the Petersburg Index says: "Do you pay any attention to Tennessee politics? We were on the eve of another revolution. The State is in convulsion and trying to spew out its gubernatorial incumbent. Our city has been quiet until today.
