a very different das. The Standard apeaks of

charg that many of them were buffaloes and
deterter rem the Confederate army, who lived,
after their desertion, by plundering and tblev.
Ing, and, who were not regular member of tbe
Union-army at the outset of tbe war. We can
specify names, if necessary. J
And tbe inevitable Tourgee turns np again,
too. I he a North Carolina loyal Union sol

Is tbe Standard really crazy, that It tbns iden
tifies itself with such men as e have described,
who are disgrace to the State and to humani

Botier. "Birds of a feather, c" But such
creature would be kicked out of any assent

In. a speaking tour through the Southern States
as th President was treated in some places on
bis recent journey, Radical papers would have
dilated through glowing pages on all tb de
tails;. Harper' Weekly Journal of Clvil-Zirs-ation
would bav been fl'led with picture of
tb Southern mob In the bldeous orgies of its
fury ; and every Radical bead would bav al
most bursted with the growing conviction of
tbe barbarism and unfitness for government of
tbe Southern paople. h : , r:j, 'v.; J : X. ;
Th truth is that there is, at this very mo
ment, let freedom of speech and far Ics tole
ration at th North than there is at the South.
Tb slander that Union or Northern men are
persecuted for opinion's' sake in the South is
the Invention of malignant and disappointed
men, who have Jnatly . forfeited th respect and
confidence of their neighbor, and are filled
with revengeful feelings thereat. They cannot
point to solitary Instance of ueh persecution.
We bav .defied them to do so, but they persis
tently shield themselves under cover of false
generalitiea, ' Tbeytohemselve tbe persecu
tors tbey would, to gratify their hate, di
franchise and degrade their fellow-oitiaens.
This Is the true Radical spirit, North and South.
Even tb President of th United State can
not pas through the land, on a patriotic mis
sion, without being subjected to insult and in-'
dignities that would dirgrac set of savage.
Tb sam spirit, if allowed to proceed to its
legitimate remit, will destroy the country be

A pavilion ISO feet in length by sixty in
breadth had been erected in the park for the
nte of tbe Convention. At I o clock the dele
gation entered, preceded by a band of music,
and were seated j after Which the crowd from
tbe outside ws admitted, and filled tbe tent to
Ita utmest capacity. Previous to the organiza
quite a spirited scene was witnessed : tbe dele
gation rising and cheering with alt their mipht
successively for "Th Old Flag," Generals Cus
ter, Roussean, Wool, McClellan, the Constitu
tion, the thirty-six States, and Andrew John
son. Alter a one! breetning spell, cneers were
eivea for Grant. Secretary Seward, the Ameri
can army, General Steedman, and Governor
Bramlette or Kentucky. As tne cheering was
called for and given, in each case there was a
ton. of wild enthusiasm, delegates and specta
tors rising and swinging their nats, add shout
ing most vigorously. .
By previous arrangement. Governor Bramlette
nominated Major-General John E. Wool, a th
oldest major-general in th United States, and
probably in the world, a temporary president
General Wool was received with lond cheers,
and addressed the Convention as follows ;
Gentlemen. Grateful thsnks for your cheer
ing welcome ; a mora flattering and agreeable
poaitioa could not have been assigned to me
than th one just conferred as presiding officer,
Although bat temporarily, over this assemblage
of patriot and heroea, the true defender of
their country and tbe Union. Be assured it will
ever be remembered and appreciated as the most ,
precious incident of a long military career.
The object of thi great military convention, if
I understand it correctly, is to consider tbe prin
ciple demonstrated by the National Inion
Convention at Philadelphia, and the restoration
rilicy ot President Johnson. On these subjects
weald (imply remark, that the' sooner Con
gress recognises the States declared by a major
ity of ita member to be nut of tbe Union as
constituent parts of tb Union, and admits their
loyai representatives to seats in the balls ot Con
grea, and permit them to participate in the
national legislation of tb country, th sooner
will b allayed th fear and apprehension of
tb peopl of tb danger which again menace
tbe peao of tbeoovotry and tb perpetuity of
the Union, with tb most bitter4and vindictive
feeling.- -f ;.
I A war of word for thirty year was carried
on between the northern radical abolitionists
and tb slaveholders of tb aouthem States, snd
everything wss said and don to keep alive the
controversy, until it finally culminated in a re
bellion In th spring of 1861, which, for atroci
ty, th sacrifice of fiv, th expenditure of un
told million of money, the loss of property,
followed by pestilence, famine, and desolation,
has no parallel in the history of nations.
' It msy be asked with propriety what has
President Johnson done that be should be de
nounced a a traitor and threatened with im
peachment ; is it anything more than tor the
exercise of tb most nobis and generous effort
to conciliate and bring back into th folds of
th Union a brave people, and make the United
States what they abould be, a united, great peo
ple t It ought not to be forgotten tbat slavery,
which engendered the rebellion, ha been re
moved, and three or four millions o( slaves have
been declared ire by an amendment of the Con
stitution. Those of th Southern State most
interested In tbe abolition of slavery, which
deprived tbem of a lanre amount of what thev
called property, and which they had considered
all-important to their interest and welfare, qui
etly submitted to tb amendment Those who
proposed th amendment omitted to guard
against what would follow, when, too late', it
waa discovered tbat tb freeing of 4.000.000 of
lave would increase tb Southern representa
tion in Congrea from twenty-fir to thirty re
presentative. Thi was to be overcome, lest
the Abolition Radical should lose tbat control
of th Government, by an act of Congress or
another amendment of the Constitution. Fall
ing In thes effort, all that bitterness of feeling
nas oeen revived wmcn existed tor thirty years
between th Radkal of tba Eaat and Korth
and tb 8outhrn alaveboldera, Another civil
war la foreshadowed, unless tb freedmen am
placed on an equality with their former mas
ter. If thia cannot, be accomplished, the Rad
ical parti ssas, with raging thirst for more
blood and plunder, are again ready to invade
the Southern State, and to lay waste the coun
try already desolated, with tb aword ia one
bind and th torch In th other. These re-
vmeefUl partisans would teav their countrv m.
bowling wilderness for th want of more, .vic

from which we have just emerged. It won Id
not be confined to tbe Sontbera States, but

How the Hatter Stand, i "
The unclouded intellect oi tb North sustains
President Johnson's opposition to tba Radical
programme. We bav seen nothing from any ac
knowledged statesman st tbe North, or any
undoubted constitutional lawyer, tbat does not
sanction tbe President The Philadelphia Con
vention of Au(. 14th, was the most talented and
conservative body of men, which baa ever as
sembled in the nation. Fillmore, Ewing, Rever-
Wintbrop, and others, sustain him, .We
yesterday published the able argument; of John
Qutncy Adams, grandson of John Quincy
Adams, f Mass. It is unanswerable. Every
man of distinction In tbe South sustains tlie
Presidents policy.
"Hofi: George Aahniun, of Mass., who presided
over the Convention which nominated Mr. Lin
coin, in a letter to the New York Couvention
which invited him to attend tb ratification tiio t
ing in that city, en Monday last, say of President
Johnson:
"I know Mr. Johnson well. He is honest, sa
gacious, true, and firm', and all such imputa
tions upon bis motives are most unjust I
know, too, that he i faithfully following the
same line of generous and far-seeing policy
which guided Mr. Lincoln up to the hour of his
death, and I cannot be. brought to doubt either
its expediency or ita justice. Certainly no
higher or holier motive tor action, in a public
aervsnt, caa be suggested, than that of a desire
for the immediate restoration to friendly rela
tions of those parts of our country which have
jbeen alienated. The war, followed by a solid
and lasting peace, may, after all, prove a bleat
ing. But a bollow trace, out of which fiery
passion and unscrupulous personal ambitions
seek to hara profitable harvest, cannot, be any
thing but a curs. Restoration, upon the basis
ot mutual interest and mutual honor, promise
everything which au honest heart can desire ;
and the resolutions of th Union Convection at
Philadelphia, solemnly mad and acceded to
by Southern representatives of high personal
character and position, give us all "guarantee
for the future" which can be asked or wanted.
Vengeance, hatred, heart-burning and ill blood
can bstatimulated by bigh-sounciing words oi
