THE MULATTO CONVENTION.
Closing Proceedings A Slim Attendance
Report In Favor of Impartial SioJTrajfe
.. Exciting Debate It lcU Scenes Final Ad
journment, Ac,
PhiTjAKklviua, Stpt. 7. The convention
of delegated froui tlio unreconstructed
States met ut 10 o'clock. Tlierc were but
few delegates from tlie Ilorder States pres
ent, and not over one hundred in ftl!, while
tho audience numbered only about four
hundred. Mr. Sliced, of Kentucky, was
in the chair, but Hoon took his departure,
utatiner that important business required
him to leave for his home. Mr. llotts, of
Virginia, then took the chair.
Mr. J. N. Clements, of Virginia, offered
a resolution that the thanks of tho South
ern loyalists were due to Judge Underwood
for attempting to bring Jeff. Davis to jus
tice. This resolution was subsequently
withdrawn.
Resolutions on a variety of unimportant
subjects were offered and adopted.
ADDRESS OF - 1UE DELEGATES Oi' THE KON'
BECOKSTllUCTED BTATES.
Mr. VViirmouth then read tho address
prepared by the committee of tho non-re
constructed btates, taking strong grounds
in favor of impartial sutlrage.
Several portions of the address were ap
plauded, and at one point groans for Presi
dent Johnson were called for and given.
The paragraph in reference to impartial
suffrage was cheered very entnusiasucauy.
Tho following is the concluding portion
of the report. ,
Fellow-countrymen It is our duty to tell
you that nothing can lie expected from the
dibUnion clement in the interest of fjeedom.
Wo are driven to mako this declaration af
ter having exhausted every means to induce
these desperate men to do justice. We are
forced to tho conclusion by that blind
and intolerant spirit which has abused the
magnanimity of the nation and returned
all our deeds and words of charity and for
giveness with ingratitude and persecution.
The time has come when the States of the
South must be governed by thoso who love
the Union and glory in its fame, or by
those who hate it
There can be no middle ground. Our
enemies and yOurs would not permit us to
occupy a middle ground if we desired to
do so. They claim to rule. They claim to
rule over us by virtue of their treason.
They claim to degrade, debar and proscribe
us because of onr patriotism. Wo declare
that all our efforts, as well as those of the
government, have been met with hypocrisy
or ingratitude.
In making this final appeal to tho coun
try, we declare that the disunion leaders of
the South are again deliberate and wanton
aggressors. They oner as a pretext tor
their persecution that the representatives
of the American people in Congress have
proceeded, in a spirit of injustice and pro
scription, to inflict on tne tooutii more par
tisan legislation.
Speaking here to-day in the name of the
loval neoTile of the South, we affirm that
Congress, in order to avoid discord and
conflict, has actually abstained from doing
much which it ought to have done and pos
sesses the power to do.
We affirm that the loyalists of . the houm
look to Congress with affectionate gratitude
and confidence aa the only means to save
us from persecution, exile, and death itself;
and wo also declare that thero can be no
security for us or our children ; there can
be no safety for the country against the fell
spirit of slavery now, or against a form of
serfdom, unless the government, by nation
al and appropriate legislation, enforced by
national authority, confer on every citizen
in the States we represent the American
birthright of impartial suffrage and equali
ty before tho law. This is the one all suf
ficient remedy. This is our great need and
necessity.
The address wns debated at length by
Warmonth, of Louisiana; Ooodlne, of North
Carolina ; Fernandez, of Louisiana ; Ham
ilton, of Texas ; Capt. Tonrgee, of North
Carolina ; Mr. Randolph, colored, of Lou
isiana ; ltev. Mr. Uunicut, of Virginia, and
othefs.
Mr. Goodloe, who opposed colored suf
frage, asked whether his colleague (Capt.
Tourgee) thought that even if they had im
partial suffrago negroes would bo allowed,
whilo Andrew Johnson was President, to
go to the polls and vote ?
Air. Tourgee replied thai tuey wonui oe.
A delegate rose and said that if not, a
million of loyal men in the North would en
force the richt I Cheers.
Mr. liryant, of Ueorgia, added that lour
million of black men in the boutn would
help, lienewed cheers.
Mr. Tourgee went on to say that gentle
men of the convention might wriggle and
squirm as much as they pleased, but they
could not avoid the issue of negro suffrage.
Gov. Hamilton, of Texas, declared that
should President Johnson refuse to execute
any law to carry out negro suffrage, he
would be impeached by Congress. He fur
ther remarked that the advocates of negro
suffrago, chastened by the past, and strong
in their consciousness of a good cause,
should unfurl their banner to the breeze,
inscribed " Liberty, Eqwdity and Frater
nity," cheers,! never to be furled till vic
tory, final and complete, should rest upon
it falter who may, loiiow who uarc. Ap
plause. Mr. Hunnicut, who advocated negro suf
frage, stated that the colored population of
Richmond had made up a purse of 1UU to
end turn as a delegate to the conventior.
Mr. Saffold, of Alabama, opposed tho
principle of negro suffrage, not because he
was not himself free from prejudice, but
because the nation would not bear another
plank in the platform mode by Congress in
the constitutional amendment The men
who advocated the report were, in his opin
ion, deadly enemies to the four millions of
slaves. Hisses all over the hall, and other
demonitrations of disapproval If this
question were forced upon them, it wonld
turn the scale against their friends. Sever
al voice : " They are not loyal men."
Mr. liotta remarked that the men who es
timated loyalty on that issue had very nar
row judgments. IILuca. Ho thought that
sooner or Jakt! in God's good time, univer
sal suffrago would come'. "
A Delegate Let us make this God's good
time. .''
Mr. Botts expressed his belief that the
time for negro suffrage had not arrived, nor
was this the place or tho occasion to decide
the question.
Here great confusion and excitement en
sued, but finally the vote was taken on the
adoption of the report, and resulted, yeas
,6(5, nays 11. The nays were Messrs. Botts,
Butts, Gilinoro of Virginia, Hunter of
Georgia, Sufford, Hinds, Cramer of Ala.,
Bain, Furness, Jones of North Carolina and
Price of Florida. Tho announcement of
the result was loudly cheered.
. Then there was delegates in all parts of
tho hall vociferating to tlie chair and trying
to be recognized, i
Mr. Botts of Va., was moving a sine die
adjournment ; a representative from Ten
ttessco was waiving a paper which he desir
ed to havo read ; a delegate shouted out a
motion for female suffrage, and other dele
gates had propositions of various kinds to
make. 1 lie confusion and noise was very
great Finally, Mr, Morse of Maryland,
got the chance of reading a declaration in
favor of negro suffrage, signed by delegates
from lenressee, who had not an opportu
nity of recording their votes their State
being excluded from the vote, it being treat
as a reconstructed State.
Delegates from the reconstructed States
who were in favor of negro suffrago were
invited to step to tho secretary's desk and
sign what was called the charter of univer
sal freedom.
A delegate from Missouri made some bun
combe remarks in the cause of his German
fellow-citizens, and then, after prayer by
Rev. Mr. Mattison, at 3 o'clock P. M., tho
convention adjouned tine die.
A High Tribute to the Cliarnctrr of Gen.
. Lee. ,
In a long editorial articlo calling for a
subscription of 10,000 to Washington Col
lege by the friends and admirers of General
Lee in England, tho London Standard of
August 17th, speaks of nun as follows :
' There is no living hero there are few,
if any, among those whose name shines with
the purest lustre in history whose charac
ter has commanded so high a tribute of af
fection and admiration from their friends,
of respect and honor from their foes, as
that of General Lee. No life more perfetly
heroic, no reputation more untornishod
even by the minor blemishes which aro not
uncommonly found in unison with the
highest heroism, has ever been connected
with a great national struggle. No shade of
vanity or egotism, nothing of the self-will
or petulance so of ten characteristic of con
scious genius, no tinge of affectation, no
taint even of the pride almost inseparable,
from ordinary greatness of mind, which
can endure everything but humiliation,
and regards submission as disgrace, alloy
the simple grandeur of the Virginian sol
dier a nature. A piety without the slight
est shadow of Pharisaism, a sense of duty
to which the sacrifice of every personal
feeling and interest appears a matter of
course, have marked his whole course and
guided his every public act, whether as i
soldier or as a citizen. A family oonnec
tion and the nearest living representative
of the great champion of American inde
pendence, General Lee has been the Wash
ington oi the (Jonlederate war : HKe wash
ington, a man " whom envy dared not
hate, but without even the one dark stain
of doubt, if not of dishonor, which the
death of Major Andre has left on the mem
ory of his prototype. No more "selfish
man and stainless gentleman " ever lived ;
no soldier ever set a more admirable exam
ple of the soldierly virtues of honor, chival
ric generiosity, and manly simplicity ; no
great man ever retired into obscurity, after
witnessing alike the ruin of his cause and
the destruction of his private fortune, with
more of Christian patience and unshaken
fortitude. i .
"Of his military achievements we need
not speak. It is enough to say that nearly
all his victories were won against enormous
odds, and that his four years' defence of
lrginia has few parallels in history as an
example of great results accomplished with
small means and at fearful disadvantages.
What is now more interesting to remember
is the personal character of the man, as dis
played in tho various exigencies of that try
ing strugglo ; the simple honesty and kind
ly feeling which prompted him to console
his soldiers as they recoiled from the cau-non-crowued
heights of Gettysburg, with
the assurance, " It is all my fault ;" tlie un
affected self -depreciation which pronounced,
when Stonewall Jackson fell, "I would wish,
for tho sake of our cause, that I had been
disabled rather than yon ;" the cl'istian
chivalry, which no outrage could provoke
to retaliation, which, after Virginia had
been rendered a desert, withheld the army
that invaded Pennsylvania from inflicting
the most trivial injury on person or proper
ty ; which, when his own estates had been
plundered, ravaged and confiscated, took
care to protect the houses and property of
his enemies ; the horror of useless blood
shed which withstood the cry for retribu
tion excited by the murder of Southern pris
oners in cold blood, and supported the re
solve of the President that unless the ac
tual murderers were taken no blood should
be shed but on tlie field of buttle ; the
touching unselfishness of his last words to
his disbanding army, on the sorrowful Vth
of April. " I have done my est for you."
But it was w hen all was over when the
chief of a great and long victorious army
was a private man and a paroled prisoner
that tlie peculiar greatness of General
Lee's nature shines out with unequalled
brightness. ,
From New York to London In a Boat.
LOO OF THE VOTAGK OF THE " RK1), WHITE
AND DUX"
Captain Hudson, of the two and-a-half
ton boat Red, White and Blue, publishes
the following account of his voyage across
the ocean :
On the 18th day of July (nine davs out.)
fn lat 40 31 N., long. 56 W., at midnight,
the boat struck something very solid a
glancing blow on the port bow. All sail was
set,. and the shock of the blow was severe,
and stopped the vessel's headway. It was
found that she had not sustained any damage.
After the 15th no sail was sighted until the
Kth of AumL and they then snoke and
went alongside tho bark Princess ltoyal, of
Yarmouth, seven days from Dublin for
Oaebecv and receivwl from he aliottle.rif
rum, two newspapers, and a signal lamp.
i it . Fll. A 1
un ine oia a sea came up on the pore quar
ter, which threw tho vessel on her beam
ends. She righted in half a minute. On ..
the 8th she was again thrown on her beam ;
ends, and got back by taking in all sail
August 13, spoke the American bark Wette ;
Merryman, two days from Havre for New
York, and got two bottles of brandy. 14th, ,
twenty-seven miles off Ushant, shipped a ,
heavy sea, which threw the vessel for the
fourth time on her beam ends filling the !
cabin and cockpit; cleared the vessel by bail- J"
ing. . - - ''-r;
At noon of the 11th she made tho first
Englinh land, the Bill of Portland, bearing
N. N. W., about twenty miles distant. On '
the lGth, blowing heavy "NY. S. W., and be
ing unable to carry any Bail, got towed into
Margate. 5 There was no chronometer on
board, and the vessel was worked by dead ,
reckoning. Tho master and mate kept
watch and watch during the tedious and ;
perilous voyage. Owing to the heavy seas
that were running they had little .opportn-;-
nity of warming their provisions, which
were in cases. They had one hundred and
twenty gallons of water on board, but did
not consume it all." J : - - J
