imously :
Resolved, That the loyal peep e of
the Sou'h cordially unite with the loyal
people" of the North in thanhsgiving to
Almighty God, through whose will a
rebellion unparallelled for its cause
lessness, its cruelty and its criminality
has been overthrown lo a vindication
of the supremacy of ihe Federal Con
stitution over every Slate and Territory
of the Republic.
Resolve), That we demand as we
have demanded at all times since the
cessation of hostilities, the restoration
of the S ates in which we live lo their
old relations with the Union on the
simplest conditions consi-ieni with ihe
protection of our lives, property and
political rights now in jeopnrdv from
the unquenched enmity tf rebels lately
in arms.
Resolved, That tha unhappy policy
of Andrew Johnson, President of ihe
Uni'ed Suites, is in its effects upon the
loyal people of the South unjust, op
pressive, and accordingly however ar
dently we desire our respective States
once more represented in Congress we
would deeply regret restotation on the
inndequate conditions presented by the
President as tending not to abate but
only magnify the perils and sorrows of
our condition.
Resolved, That the welcome we have
received at the hands of the loyal citi
zens of Philadelphia under the roof of
the time-honored had in which ihe
Declaration of Independence was adopt
ed, inspires us with the hope that the
principles of just and equal govern
ment which were made the foundation
of the republic at its origin shall be
come the corner stone of ths Constitution.
Resolved, That with pride in ihe pa
triotism of Congress, with gratitude foi
the fearless and persistent support they
have given lo the cause of loyalty, and
iheir effort to restore ali- States to their
former conditions as States in the Amc r
ican Union, we will stand by the po
sition taken by them and take ali means
consistent with a peacefull and lawful
course, to secure the ratification of the
Amendment to the Constitution of the
fSSHon. Garret Davis, Senator
frm Kentucky, is one of the magnates
of the National Union party. It is but
a few weeks since he proclaimed in the

Chicago, Sept. 7. President John-
yon and suite left the ci'y this morning
for Si Louis. They will be- received
at Springfield thi 'evening, at arrive
at St. Louis to-morrow morning.
The Evoninsr Journal says if Mr.
Johnson left Chicago with the imprt s
sion that he had many admirers dinotiu
the crowd present here yesterday. h
is the most self conceited and self-de
ceived man in Amria. What th
President saw and heard here was not
kttennsr to himself. Th western
people never before had so intense a
dihke for a President of the United
States a they have for Mr. J hnson,
even Mr. Buchanan not excepted.
A Philadelphia special says the burn
ing of the Union League H.tuse is sup

I"33f"Mr9. Jefferson Davis writes to
a friend in Charleston, South Carolina:
"Mr. Davis is slowly but surely wast
ing away, and I look forward to his
Maker's release, if man does not soon
afford him one. It is very kind cf you
to ask what he wants ; but beyond cigars
and a little Maduria or Sherry wine?
he seems to desire nothit:r.
If the United States Government "or
any other man" will furnish us bard,
the addr-ss of the Philadelphia Con
vention reaJ.ard we suppose, of course,
tn take sin h action thereon as was
thought beit by the Johnson men, when
ihe proceeding assumed an unloosed for
shape. We copy from th proceedings:
As soon as Cap'. Porter had conclu
ded reading ihe address, the follow
ing resolutions wore off-red by the
Hon. Frank Welch, Postmaster at
Dec.ttur.
Resolved, that th5 thanks of this
meeting are tendered to Capt. Porter
for the able manntr in which he ha
rend the adJiess issued by the late
Philadelphia Convt ti'.i-m. famed.
Before resuming hiss, at Mr. Welch
also tffered the following preamble
and resolutions:
Wafreas, we. the citizens of Deca
tur. Burt county, N. T. have been in
vited to listen to the leading of the
Patriotic Addrers of tha late Phil.tdel
phi t Convenion to the people of the

Whereas, we have listened to the

Resolved, Tlitt we do not approve of
the principles therein contained, the
issues therin set forth nor of the course
of Andrew Johnson.
Resolved, That we most cordially ap
prove of the course of Congress, and of
the constitutional ammeudmrnl as adopt
ed at the last session, and we respect
fully propose to support the same.
dipt. Porter and ihe Hon. S. T.
Learning spoke in opposition to the res
olutions presented by Mr. Welch, to
which Mr. Welch replied, whereupon
a lengthy and lively discussion took
place between Mr. Welch and Capt.
Porter in regard to;the principles and
address adopted by the Philadelphia
Convention, the acts of the last congress
and the issues now before the Ameri
can people.
After the debate a vote was taurn
on the passage of the Welch resom
tions and cai tied.
Mr. Welch moved ihat the Secretary
send a copy of the proceedings to each
of the Omaha newspapers, which was
carried unanimously.
The meeting then adjourned.

We are told that the reconstructed
rebels are willing to accept the "situa
tion" and will come back and be the
very be6t of citizens. The following
dispatch from Savannah shows about
how they feel towards northern people.
Read it, and ihen say if you are will
ing to hand the government over into
ihe hands of uch men, or whether
you would not a leetle rather keep it in
the hands ot Joyal men:
"The captain or the vessel arrested
for having on board pestilential woolens
pleads guilty of murderous intentions,
and his confessions imphcatt a large
number of reconstructed rebels whom
he names and locates. Overy thirty
persons will be arrested on his testi
mony. The design of his party was
the same as that attempted duiing the
war to breed a pestilence in the North
thinking the public were unconscious
of danger."'

Defrees and Secretary Harlan, by a
airect representation ot the case lo
Mr. McCulloch to secure her a situa

that there was no places meant. She
was afterwards given employment in
the public printing office. A couple of
weeks before the Philadelphia Con
