The Convention.
The Philadelphia Convention has met and
adjourned after a harmonious session of three
days. It adopted a ' Declaration of Principles"
which we publish in another column, and issued
an Address to the people of tho United
States, which is well written and is characterized
by considerable argumentative force. In
the proceedings we notice the nnmcs of Gov.
Orr and Hon. D. F. Perry on the National
Union Committee, and Hon. James Farrow and
Hon. J. L. Manning on the committee to wait
upon tho President.
the President a Proclamation.
We give below all that is proclaimed in the
recent proclamation of President Johnson, minus
the "whereas," or prefatory part of tho
same. It puts an end to the Provisional Government
of Texas, and declares thnt the insurrection
is at an end, and-that civil authority
now exists throughout the whole of the United
6tates of America. We suppose if civil author
ity does exist throughout the land, thnt m.litarv
authority docs not, and is subordinate to
the Civil:
I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United
Slates, do hereby proclaim nml declare that
the insurrection which heretofore existed in tho
State of Texas is at nn end, and it is to be
henceforth so regarded in that State, as in the |
other States before named, in which such in- i
surrection was proclaimed to l>c at an end b}- |
tho aforesaid proclamation of the 2d dnv of !
April, 18Gf>. And 1 do further proclaim that
paid insurrection is at an end. and that pence,
order, tranquility and civil authority now exist
in and throughout the whole of the United
States of America.
In testimony whereof 1 have hereunto set my
hand undenused the seal of the United States
to be nfiixed. Done at the City of Washington,

Too lTiil(e?l Stairs and Mexico.
Maximilian having issued n decree Mock- !
ading the port of Malauiorns, President John- J
son has published a counter proclamation in j
which he declares the first to be null and void,
and tho Navy deprrtment lias detached men- j
of*war to the mouth of the Itio Grande to pro
tect United States interests in that quarter, i
The language of tho Mexican Emperor is as
follows :
"Tho port of Mat a moras, nnd all tlu.se of
the northern frontier which lmvo withdrawn
from their obedience to the government, are
closed to foreign and coasting traffic during
such time as the laws of tho Empire shall not
be therein reinstated.
"Articlo second. Merchandise proceeding
from the said ports, on arriving at any other
where tho excise of tho empire is collected,
shall pay the duties on importation introduced
nnd consumption, and in satisfactory proof of
contravention shall be irrentissibly confisca- )
tod." |
Mexican affairs arc thus brought to a crisis, j
and the Austrians must either imok down or j
fight. It is not difficult to predict the result. I
Tho time is evidently not far distnnt

iouthern Dclepitei attlio Con- 1
vent Ion.
Though cheering to tho patriot to see the
iortli and youth, through their reprcscuta- c<
ives, cxchaugc warm greeting in the City of tl
(rotlierly Lore, it was impossible for the glow In
t friendliness to conceal the shadow of defeat
hat was there with the conquered, more visi- tl
ilc than the pride of victory with tho conquer- a
ra. It was impossible to suppress the thought r
-how changed from tho pride and firmness
,nd strength of will that wcro once the cle- f<
ncntn of Southern character. We will confess S
hat to us the impression was painfully conreyed
that the South, if fairly represented at ^
he Convention, is bending too low in its enger- .]
toss to conciliate the North. There are, it is
rue, some noble exceptions in the persons of
nen who realize that manhood need not forfeit J
Mther dignity or independence in misfortune ; ^
jut many of the Southern delegates scent to i
Iiavo buried their pride of race in the grave of 1
ihe Confederacy. They wear too much the j
vspcct of courtiers at the footstool of power to j
he true types of the people who fought so well, 'J
and who eudurcd so much for the maintenance 1
of their nnlilicit tuitli tV? rl.? ?..i - I f
incut believe that these men arc conscious of
self-abasement, thut they have delibci uUly a?. i
sumod the ullke of time-servers ; wo aimj>1 y ?
Wlieve that they have overestimated the price
thut they mutt pay for their political rehablli- i
tation. t
It is true that the South has much at stake; '
too true that her people tire prostrate, helpless, 1
suffering nud dependent upon the triumpli of
Conservatism. 15ut the Conservativeciusedc- '
mauds no such sacrifice at their hands as I hey '
are willing to offer. It will achieve its triumph 1
in the natural course that the public sentiment
is inking. The inevitable results of the war 1
must be accepted, and it is well to accept thcui '
grace'.oily and with no sullen submission lbit (
it is uot necessary to sacrifice that manly itidc- '
pendente which was the conspicuous virtue of :
the Southern race. It is not necessary lobe '
the abject slaves of expediency. It may be 1
necessary to stoop to conquer, and we admit
that mnny precious Southern rights have to be (
regained by conquest in political warfare, but
not so low ; not to crawl to conquer. 1
In truth, the Southern delegates value too !
highly the alliance ol' Conservative Kepubli- '
cans ; and in their eagerness to Conciliate those 1
otl'shots of Radicalism, thev are too willing to !
throw all their jewels into the gulf. This is s
neither politic nor creditable. They will faro '
better by demanding the right as freemen than j
l?y begging for it as buiidiiicn.
They have nothing to he ashamed of in the }
antecedents or in the present condition of tlieir 1
constituents. The South can hold her record 1
up with pride in the broad glare of enlighten- ,
mem, and demand from the nations a tribute ,
to tin' coustnncy amivnior of her sens. There
need be no humiliation in defeat where all has *
been done that courage and devotion could accomplish;
but there is humiliation in fawning
upon ccuquerors like hounds that lick the 1
bands tliat have scourged thcui to the kennel. '
The South has claimed that the best blood of (
the Republic flowed in the veins of Southern '
men ; but if they now consent to the parasites \
v, nc .-nun ncgiti to believe that the '
blood fliey wore so proud of has all liccn spill '
cd upon iheir hiittlo-fiehls. If the Southern 1
ili:Iff:ates cannot maintain the independence
anil the principles of their section, they should
have sent the women id the South to the Contention;
the women who sacrificed all, whose
courage never faltered, whose devotion never
shrinked from nny trial, whoso exnmp'e was
an inspiration to heroism, and who to-day. '
utteonip.cred amid thejruins of their hopes, and '
sorrow stricken beside t lie graves of their loved '
ones, arc the true types ot the glory of their 1

Ilciiill ofllio Air IJin* Railroad j
Meeting" In Xeiv l'orli. \
Mr. E. M.Johnson, one of the 1'ircctors of s
the Air I.ine Railroad, has just returned from 1
the meeting of officers of the above road, held
in New York. i
From hi in wc have hcen able to gather the i
following f'iet9 : The, first business b.'furo the 1
body was to elect ofliccrs: This was dispatched 1
without delay. Then a committee was appointed
to prepare by-laws, which being done, 1
tliey were brought before the meeting for adop- 1
ion, first singly, and then as a whole. Oncol
the resolutions adopted, was to this effect :
"That this r >ad shall run from Atlanta to '
Gainesville." When it reaches Gainesville, J 1
two surveys arc to he made from that point, i '
One r >ute to run to Chester via Anderson t". I 1
11. The other to Charlotte or Salishu? y, N. (' . I '
via Old l'cndlelon. The Engineer clecu- 1, Mr. :
.^agc, was to proceed immcilintcly to the sttrvcyiug
of these lines, and be prepared to re- '
port at their next meeting, which was to be 1
held in Atlanta upon the 1th Monday in Sep- 1
teinbcr. 1
.Mr Jo' ns,,n speaks very sanguinly, and ! 1
thinks the building of this road is a foregone i 1
certainty, tlicul indueeuicnts of course held ; '
out to biing the road through here. Our iui- i '
meitse mineral wealth end mining operations <
are sufficient guarantees that the road will pay, 1
besides it was a very slight deviation from an j
Air Line, and was the only practicable route to '
bring it. *
There arc ninny persons who arc entirely ' 1
ignorant of this proposed road. It is believed 1
by many that it is only intended to run from <
Atlanta to And "son Court House. This old *
IJ lie, IImini w men mure Wi;-i Some excitement U '
few years ago, is to be a grand link in one of | i
the greatest maris in the I'uited States. The J
"Air Line"' Road proper is to run from New ] t
Orleans to New York in au near a direct line '
us will bo practicable. Tliey propose to trav- 1 '
tr.se Ibis distance in fifty hours. They know I t
I hey can do it. and they feci confident that it | '
must he the nto.st desirable line for tmnsporta- : '
lion, (or the very .sensible reason that it will be 1
the most economical and expeditions. These 1
facts induce Capitalists to invest?they rare
not one fig for the road from Atlanta to A inter *
fon only as a connecting link in this proposed 1
line. j t
Congress has incorporated a company to be 1
termed the "Air Line Company" to build ibis j ?
road, and appropriated one million dollars ?
iowurds the building of it. True Ibis amount 1
is not to be rccond as dollars and cents, and is 1
hut a drop in the bucket, but the name means |
nothing, and the mere fact thnt some action '
tvas taken upon it hy that hody proves thnt the i <
rond is not considered impracticable, but is i
lestined to be a national benefit.
We have sketched the proposed lino so that '
Mir people may vcadilysee the incalculable ad
vantages to the whole country, which arc to be c
lerived front the running of litis line. They 11
tuny well rejoico at I ho prospect of tho road
being built, for it will be road, in every >
tense upon this oontiaent.?Air Lint Eijlr. c

vcntlon. i
Tlic following extract from the call of tho
miiuittec, will kIiow the spirit ami purpose o1
io meeting which is to take place at Clcveind,
Ohio, ou the 19th of September.
It will be observed that it is addressed "to
io soldiers and sailors who served in the army
tid navy of the Uuitod States during tlie late
cbclltou."
Not to the soldiers and sailors of the Conideracy.
In reference to tho people of the
outli it is observed :
"In their anxiety to restore the Union and
iring harmony to its councils they have gone
ieyoiid a mere silent submission to the laws.
Through their delegates at the National Union
.'onvention they solemnly renounced the docrines
of nullification and secession, from which j
he war arose; repudiated the rebel debt and
teclared of sacred obligations the national debt;
reclaimed the faith of the nation pledged to
he continuance of bounties and pensions to
oyal soldiers and sailors and their families ;
leclarcd slavery forever abolished, ami the
'reedmen entitled to equal protection of law in
icrson and property with their former masters.
Their platlorm is not only one of emphatic
oyalty, hut it is, moreover, most liberal in
ipirit on all the great issues growing out of
he war.
Iho character of the men who represented
ue Southern States in that Convention prcelu
led us from believing this enunciation ofpriu iplcs
to tlie insincere. They scut to it their
breuiost statesmen?men who like ltives, Gralani,
Orr, I'arsoiis. Sluirkey, Houston, Urocksiibrough,
Hunt, Manning and Steveus, were
tiiowii throughout the land before the war as
ncn of the highest character and intlueiice.
Among the five huuured delegates from the
south thcro was not a voice or a vote dissenting
from the resolutions adopted by the Contention.
If the best of the Southern people are ever
o be believed, we must, accept these solemn
leclaratioui ns sincere. We do accept them as
:onclusive evidence that a great majority of
he Southern people, sick of war and anarchy
ind longing for a restoration of free government,
arc ready to bear true allegiance to the
Constitution and laws of the Union.
We are therefore unwilling to see the Southern
people held longer in vassalage.
Relieving that our Government is again in
peril, wc appeal t ? you who have fought to
ave it, and who hold it dear and more sacred
han all party tics, to come to the rescue. Let
he soldiers and sailors agreeing with us in
o-ntimcnt, but who cannot in person attend,
tend delegates through the action of their sosicties,
or of local conventions. Let us meet
in force at Cleveland, on the 17th of September,
the aunivcrsa'y of the day when the Con titution
was proclaimed by our forefathers,
ind let us aid in restoring the Union it created
ind the liberties it was ordained to secure.

1. We hail with gratitude to Almighty God

ligaiiy and authority of the States, perfect
utd uttiiiipaired.
S. lleprcsenlalion ia the Congress of the j
L niicd Slate, and in the electoral college, i- a '
ight recognized by the Constitution as abiding
a every State, and a* a duly imposed upon its
simple indnin- ntal in its nature and c-ostial
to the exi-tcnec of our republican instilu.
ions; and neither Congress, nor the General [
ovcrnt tent, has any nuthority or power to j
leity tl.i- right to any State, or withhold its \
'iijoymcnt under the Constitution from the
icople sb-reof.
4. We call upon the people of t! c United i
States to elect to Congress, as members there- j
>f, none hut men who admit thi- fundamental
ight of representation, mid who will receive
o beats therein, loyal representatives from |
vcrv Si tie ut allegiance to the United Slates,
uibject to the coiisiilutional right of each '
louse to judge of the elections, relurtis and
jualifieations of its own members.
6. TIk" Constiluiion of ilio United Slates 1
ind the laws made in pursuance thereof are
the supreme law of the land, anything in
lie Constitution or laws of any Staie to the '
lontraiy notwithstanding." All the powers i
lot conferred by the Constitution upon the
]cncral (.lovcrnment nor prohibited by it to
lie States are 44 reserved to the Slates or to
lie people thereof;" and among (lie rights
has reserved to the Stat"S is the right to pre- !
erihe qualification for the elective frauchiso ]
herein, with which right Congress cannot in- ,
erfere. No State or combination of States has
he right to withdraw troin the Union, or to
ixctudc, through their action in Congress or
itherwi.se, any other stale or States front the
Jnion. The Union of these States arc per*
letnal and cannot he dissolved.
<i. Such amendments to tiic Constitution of
he United States may be made by the people
hereof as they may deem expedient, but only
n the mode pointed out by its provisions'; and
n proposing such amendineuis, whether l>y
Jongrc-s or by a Convention, and in unifying
lie same, all the Stales of the Union have an
iqual and an iudcfcasiblc light to a voice and
i vote thereon. <
7. Slavery is abolished and forever prohibited?and
there is neither desire nor purpose
n the part of Southora States that it should
ever be re-established upon flic noil or within |
I he jurisdiction or' the United Stales; and the I
enfranchised slaves in all the States of the !
Union should receive, in common with ull their ; c
inhabitants, equal protection in every right ot r
person and property. I t
8. While we regard as utterly invalid and i
never to be assumed, or made of binding force, t
any obligation incurred or undertaken in male- t
iug war against the United Slates, we hold t
the debt <>t the nation to he sacred and itivio- t
lable; and we proclaim our purpose, in dis- ]
charging this us in performing all other na- (
tional obligations, to maintain unimpaired and r
unimpoaclied the honor and the faith of the ?
Republic.
II. It is the duty of the National Government
to recognize the services of the Federal j
soldiers and sailors in the contest just closed, ]
of meeting promptly and fully all their just <
and rightful claims for the set vices they have I
rendered the nnliott, and by extending to those
of them who have survived, and to the willows
and orphans of those who have fallen, the most
generous and considerate care.
10. In Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States, who in his great ntlice has pro- ]
ved steadfast to his devotion to the Conslitu- : i
tion, the laws nnd interests of his country, unmoved
by persecution and undeserved reproach
having faith unassailable in the people and in
the principle ef free government?we recognize <
a Chief Magistrate worthy of the nation and i
equal to the great crisis upon which his lot is <
cast: and we tender to him in the discharge of
his high and responsible duties, our profound
respect and assurance of our cordial and sincere
support.
The Chairman then put the question of the
adoption of I ho resolutions, which was unanimously
carried.

The following Ticket will be presented to
the voters of Spartanburg Village for their
support at the ensuing municipal election. It
is unnecessary to say to those who know these
gentlemen, that they arc opposed to licensing
ilrani shops. It is emphatically a Dry Ticket,
and it is hoped that the friends of the principle
it represents will turn out and vote. There
will be no other ticket run on this principle,
and its friends nre therefore warned to be
careful thai it is not defeated by voting any
other.
