Brown, of Barnwell, Hon. C. W. Dudley, of Marlboro,sad Hon. Gabriel Cannon, of Sparenburg. For Socrttaries-F. J. Moses. Jr.. \ i of Sumter, and W. jL. DePass, of I Kershaw. i The Chair submitted to the C?n-1 vention the report of the committee, as a whole, aud tho samo was adopted. On assuming tho Presidency of the Convention, tho Hun. James Li. Orr delivered the following a? ld ress: GENTLEMEN OE THE CONVENTION: I thank you [or the distinguished honor conferred in selecting me to {?reside over the d?lib?rations o? this body. Your familiarity with tho amenities and courtesies of debate will, J om Satisfied, make the duties of tho office by no means onerous or severe; and allow nie to add, it is extremely gratifying to see so largo a representa? tion from the various sections of South Carolina, on the present oc? casion. It is indicative of the lively interest willoh our constituents feel in the great movement about to oe inaugurated-a movement whose consequences, iu my bumble judg? ment, are destined to be vast and im? portant. It may be unsuccessful, aud the hope it generates, like many of the brightest ant icipations we have cherished, may be disappointed, but it is neither wiso nor philosophie to cower before the calamities by which we are overtaken, lt. should rather be our duty to strive to repair tho wrong; aud hence, 1 have felt, what? ever may be its results, now unfore? seen, that we cannot take too deep an interest in the assemblage that is to | convene iu Philadelphia on tho 14th of the present, month. The object of that Convention is to solidify all the conservative elements of the North and West in one organization, so that when the Fall and Spring elec? tions ensue, the vote cast by the peo? ple of those sections will bo for con? servative men and measures, aud thereby defeat the radical party -who have x nv control of the legislative department of the Governmen:. The issue has been fairly made betweeu the President on his policy of recoil construction-so g?nerons in many of its essential features-and that extreme, bitter ami persecuting policy which it is proposed to adopt towards those States recently engaged in war with the North. As has been ?tuted, the radicals have now control of the legislative depart? ment of the Government. l>y their legislation they also contemplate a speedy seizure of thc control of the judicial department. In one of their recent enactments re organizing tho Supreme Court, they have provided that vacancies on the Bench shall not bc tilled until tho number is reduced to seven; and iu view of the fact that the conservatives are the oldest mem? bers of that court, they have antici? pated that ill the course of human events, these will soonest pass away from th? .stage of life, tims leaving the custody of tho jndicial as r.ell as legislative department of the Gov-! eminent i?. their hands. Bat will they be cont*?-, to stop there? Lu my opinion, if the election* of tho North do not chango tho face of1 political affairs, and the radicals aro j successful in maintaining their ground I through these elections, they will, before the first day of January next. not only possess the poorer, hilt they will use tho power, to impend? the President, turn him out of office, and substituto a leader of their own; so that tho Executive department will likewise pass into their control. They have already two-thirds of Congress. Although it may be that we cannot destroy the rmi effect of their ma? jority, theJNorth and North-west may, if the Philadelphia Convention proves a success, so far change the political complexion of the Senate asa House of Representatives, as to enable the President to defeat obnoxious legis? lation by the veto power. It, there? fore, behooves us to go cordially and heartily into this movement, and to sustain, as far as we properly can do, the men and measures adopted. The call for the Convention is, in my judgment, almost entirely unexcep? tionable; io much so, that it is neither wise nor politic for us to raise a point concerning it. The majority of the committee were mem? bers of the Republican parry, and it is to consolidate with it the* war and anti-war Democrats that constitutes one of the objects of the Convention. Let ns hope that its deliberations will prove harmonious, and that the con? duct and deportment of the represen? tatives of the North and South towards each other will be baaed npon the same principles that actuate two friends who have quarreled and be? come reconciled. Let them ignore the past, and go forward .mutually intent upon healing the breach that has boen made, and agaiu strive, in unison, to mak-3 the country happy, prosperous and contented. I iuvoko upon yonr deliberations all the wisdom that eau come from on High, and trust that South Caro? lina will have cause to congratulate yon in coming here for the purposes of this Convention. AV. R. Robertson, of Fairfield, in? troduced the following resolutions: 1. Resolved, That tho usual parlia? mentary rules, as observed in the House of Representatives of thia State, shall govern the proceedings of this Convention. 2. Resolved, That upon :dl voting by this Convention, each Election District, represented in this Conven? tion, shall be entitled to a number ol votes equal to tho number of theil Representatives and Senators in tin Legislature of this State. Thc President put to voto tho abo v. resolutions singly, and the first ol the same was adopted. Hon. W. F. DeSaussure, of Rich? land, moved to amend the second resolution introduced by Air. Robert son, and to make it read as follows: Resolver/, Thal u majority vot< shall decide the question, but anj member nay call for a vote by Elec tiou Districts, and such vote shal be the number of Representative.' and Senators in the State Legislatur? from each District. Mr. Robertson having accepted tin said amendment, tho second r?solu tiou, ns amended, was voted upon bj tho Convention and was adopted. V.. S. Krill, of Newberry, intro duccd thc following resolution: Resolved, That the delegates iron each Congressional District bo em powered to nominate two delegates t< represent tho State at large and fou delegates tu represent each Congres SH,nal Districts, in the|Convention b be held at tho city of Philadelphia on the 14th day of August, instant and that these nominations be sub mitted to this Convention at its nex sitting for their action. Hon. Samuel McGowan, of Abbe He, introduced tho following reso lutions, as an amendment to th ni >ove: 1. Resolved, That this Conventioi approves the restoration policy of Prc sident Johnson, as opposed to the radi Ral policy of Congress, and that we ac cept tho invitation to unite with th conservatives of the country in th National Convention to be held i Philadelphia, on the 14th instant: 2. Resol rc, I, That a committee c three, from each Congressional Dif Irict, be appointed to nominale iou delegates to represent tho State ? largo, and that the representatives i this Convention from each Congrei Kiona! District constitute a spoeii committee to nominate a delegate t represent sueli District in the Phill delphia C.invention, and that sal nominations bo reported to this Coi vention. W. If. Trescot, of Andersoi moved to lay aside tho second of tl above resolutions and to insert, in i stead, tho following: 2. Hesoiccd, That tho delegab from each Congressional District sha elect two delegates from their r spectiye Districts, and report the selection to an adjourned meeting < this Conventiou. 3. Resolved, That this Conventic Sroceed at to elect the four elegates fox the State at Unge. T. Y. Simons, Jr., of Charleston, moved to insert between the words "and" and report, in the second reso? lution above, the words "nominate to this Convention one delegate from their respective Districts for tho State at large." OB motion of Mr. Trescot, Mr. Simons* motion was laid on the table. Mr. McGowan having accepted the substitution offered in the resolutions introduced Irv Mr. Trescot, the Pre? sident submitted the same, by reso? lution, to the Convention, and the first resolution was thereupon adopted. On motion of J. H. Rion, of Fair? field, the relative positions of the second and third resolutions above were transposed, and the blank iu the second resolution, as transposed, was filled with the word "forthwith." The second resolution, as amend? ed, was then adopted. Hon. G. F. Townes, of Greenville, moved to amend the third resolution by striking out the word "elect" and inserting therefor the word "nomi? nate." Said motion was lost. The third resolution was then adopted. The President submitted the three said resolutions-as originally intro? duced hy Mr. McGowan, and as after? wards amended by Mr. Treseott-as a substitute for the resolution intro? duced by Mr. Keitt, and the said substitution was ordered by the Con? vention. Tho said resolutions were then put to vote, as a whole, and were adopted. On niotiou of T. Y. Simons, of Charleston, the Convent ion adjourned to meet this day at 6 o'clock P. M. J AMES L.. ORR.
