ar.ii : .. awiffii: JxiU/jica(ion of tlw Adion of it'iv 2 Convention. _ . - -js Tlio Memphis AvalancJtt, of tho 2GUi, con-. tniiiB nn account nearly Tour columns in length", of a grand mass meeting in Memphis lo ratify tho action of tho Philadelphia Con?vnUou. It was the largest gathering seen in thai eitjfor many years. G?n. N. B. Forrest was called to the chair, and on lulling his seat, spoke jaa follows: Mr. President and Gentlemen: I thank .you for the honor ooaferred upon mo lo oight, in selecting me as your presiding oflleer. You will allow me to say that, I am far more famil ,iar with the stern duties of a soldier, thau 1 am with the art of public speaking- It is known to most of you, tli(it my lifo has been one of nclion rather than of Words. Nor has it been my habit to take any leading part in the direction of political and public affairs, 13ut the .occasion of this evening is one of no ordinary importance. You havo assembled to express y,our approbation or disapprobation of tlio principles of public policy and constitutional government declared in Ike resolutions and address sent forth to Ike American people by the Jute Pkiladelpkia Convention. If the principles therein enunciated fchull bo sustained by the American people, and particularly by u majority of the freedincn of thu Northern States, then the States aud the people ot the South will bo speedily restored to civil oud constitutional liberty. If 1 know jnyaelf, this i* tho unxioutf Jeeico of my heart. This is the consideration that brought nic here to niylit, and without stopping to criticise or object to collateral matters aud details, not resting on nnv treat public nrineinl.* <>? ? I ...ill ttaud by tho resolutions of licit body. I have carefully rend and considered the uildrcss and the priuciplrs of publio policy and constitutional law therein cootuincd, and with- j out regard to the language iu which they stand expressed, they meet iny full, unreserved and j cordial approvnl. When I pledged my word and my honor to the lost cause of the late Con- j federacv, I suppose that no one who know me _ ever doubted the honesty and good faith wuh " wluch they would be redeemed ; uiul when 1 ! now acccpt the results of the war as irrevocable, as I Lave accepted them, and pledge my word and my faith to the Bupport of the great principles declarod to tho world by the 1'hila dclphia Couvcution, as I now do, that vow and that faith shall be equally sacred and unchangablc.. There is otie thing I will say in regard to the soldiers of -ihe'North and Sotflh, the ir.en who have met each other in the stern shock of battle, and a conflict of arms that tried their caurafd Anil th^ir cnnla if lliaao were referred to them, these Stales could be instantly restored to their former relations; their people to the right of representation in 'Congress, and all sections of the Union to quietude and friendship. And as to the last resolution proposed by the ./jouimittee, endorsing tho patriotic e/Turtof the ^President of JLhja IJpited States to secure to the Southern States equality of rights in the Union, it meets tny cordial approbation. I have reason to believe that I havo been misrepresented to the Chief Magistrate, ?n<3 clomWod Ky I calumniators, publicly and privately, in regard to my behavior as one of the cominondcrs of a portion of the army of tho Into Confederate States, but while I shall rest my vindication against these calumnies upon the testimony of the thousands of brave men who followed me in that bloody struggle, whatever the Preeideut may think oi me, it ip a duty I owe to my own sence of justice nnd patriotism to endorse his policy for the immediate restoration of the Statas; to staud by lam in his arduous endeav'.on for the preservation of the constitutional rights of the Southern States nod people, and express to the world .my admiration of his generosity aud the dignity of bis conduct. And as to mj* future policy, I refer you to my past history since the surrender of my command 'at Gainesville, Ala., on the Pth day of May, 1865, and to my address to my soldiers on that occasion. Speeches were made by lion. Gu;. A- lien ry, Dr. Langdon, C. Haynes, W. T. Avery and Gen. Stoncman who is in command of the distr|ct of Memphis. 8TATB ELECTIONS.

Tiic I'liilailelpliia (Jouvciition Las done a ; crout service to the Cor.aervat ivo cause iu eiin? | plifying aiul making jilain the issue of the com ; ing campaign. It not only gave in ila own ' proceedings a iiigli example of harmony onJ ; eouconti nlion, Lut indicated the ground on | which all can stand. Without reference lo | mere words or expression*, the ncliou of the ; Convention taken a.* a vholc, furnielien the I ground upon which the whole country can conj centrato their tfToi t?. Tlio iajue for the full | elections is made up. The lists arc sc-t, and the ! contest coiumo?icod. It is I lie giiuplu question I of the representation of tho South in tbo Inw| making body of the Gorcrnuiutit. J t is a ?<;?? j jile, yuotl and strong issue, mid we belie^p it will prevail. It is no small matter that the is sue is single and plain. Polities has become so much of a trade that there isalwajs danger of tlio people being confused, bewildered and cheated by many ideas and the numerous ' words of stuuip oratois. The people have no motive to d-j wrong and the patriotic musses | rarely err if they understand clearly. The [lies'i n here is in a nut .-lull. Tin issue ii ? i/oca imc, because it i* plui.i ftad dimple, "niu!li{.ii in p ;n\-." KxelasiuU from ! reprcsentatiou is the cause of most cf our ! grievances. It is made the essential point bv ilio Radical* nnd it is eo. Representation in Congress will lie not only lite cvi-.Uiux of restoration, liut the muse of niudi improvetnent in our condition. It lice at the foundation of the whole matter. That gained, almost everything viae will follow. It is the vital poiut. j The issue is well made nnd the Radical* so regard it. Some of their journals are striving to I dodge it. The New Yoik J'uxt advises his party not to accept it, but to hritig out incu in j favor of the South being represented j#t once. 1 " The gulled jade will wince." Wo fear the i Grcciane giving gifts. I The issue is a strong one brcauxe it in rigid.? j The idea of toxntiou without representation I ; strikes the common Eenso of thu people ns nuti| republican, absurd and oppressive. The thing i ! is inoustrous in itself, but in this instance the j oppression is aggravated ta the degree of fbtgi tioue crime bv tlip i'ippimi?f(ini>i.? ti... i.j I tory of the world will show tlint when one , people has assumed lo govern another, it line . been generally on l!i? grounds that the gov' erned people are colonial, foreign or in eonic ! xvny inferior. Kven Imperial Home incorpo rated into tho I'Impiro her conquests of l>ar| barons nations, as Boon as they would assimi: late with her institutions ; hut here thcro is no | pretense that we are foreigners. We were | once the associates and at least the peers of | theso modern oppressor*. We m e no strangers lo their form of government, and ii will not Lie pretended bv any Person haviuc unv claims to intelligence that ve nro in virtue, honor or worth one whit their inferiors. As xvc xvore once their associates we arc their equals now in every quality 'of intelligence and mauhood.? Wo are no{. o?ily governed by another people but governed shamefully?by military tribu ! nals,?bureaus nnd bayonets ! Add to this our ! anomolout condition ? iiulf while and half black?tlic black half recently emancipated from slavery?ignorant, improvident and dishonest and the governing power in aympathy with that element*, and you preseut a condition worse than that cf Jlangnry, I'olaud or Ireland. They bold that the original bond of unioi: still exists?that lios never been broken. That for tho purposes of laxatiou, punishment and penalties, we are now associated with thciu and always have beep, and yet in direct contradiction to this they deny us representation. We are in for taxation but out for representation. The history of tho world docs not I afford another instance of Mieli monstrous inconsistency, absurdity mid insolence. But this is not half the storj'. Every argument is against j them, but they [substitute passion?voni'pnnpp. I It is impossible to assign nny cause for our ex I elusion, but tho wicked and unchristian one | of "envy hatred/ and malice." This cannot | prevail! never, never! I No party that relies | solely on the bnd passion of bad men oan sue' ceed before the American people. Tho Conjjjrj vu.lves have in their favor tbo potent cry of union, argument, right, justice, policy, kindness, generosity, liberly, equality and fraternity. Here is a rich theme for the hustings! j such as has ravely been open to the political orator. In a cod test of this kiu-1 it is impossible for us to remain indifferent. It is not in our uuiuic, n 19 iruo wc afo not ill tjio light. We are mere spectators, but we are deeply interested iu the result. The issue grows out of our rights. Wo arc the fiul>jcct matter of controversy. Victory or defeat will enure to our advantage or ruin?all that is left us is at stake. Our people have always been remarkable for dovotiou to principle?tho right as it appeared to them. Clear as to the right in this pas*, and seeing that the battle is waged for them against the most infamous party thnt ever disgraced any country, every just man in the South will wish Ood speed to his friends in the content, aod.ev^y generous he art will beat in sympathy effort made to overthrow the hydra headed mbn8tfciy>f Radicalism?

A PENITENTIARY "WANTED* South ('tirohitu I ns been often uc sinned of being u eoutury behind the aye because the tliil i not possess a penitentiary, Ihnt dreadful landj marl; which shows mo plainly I lie progress of tlin ndvnucing tnle of modern civilization, l<y ! receiving tin: sumo of sin tin.I crime thai, dtifts I upon its surface. The accusation, though plnusible enough, an>l lt> superficial observation ap| patently true, la in reality undeserved and to? I tally without foundation. Koutli Carolina has j not bi.cu behind the age either in"education. | refinement or morality, i;s the well-known : character of her society and the wide-spread reputation of her btnte&men ai.d divines will amply prove. Nor unfortunately has the lu-en without those disgraceful accompaniments of wrong and villainy which, while they do not I fl*.frn/?t frrtm ......I*- - c I ? , ,..u. >?v I (111 mi'iin ui iiuniaii progress, nevertheless furnish a complete nnd ever I rcnily contradiction to lh.i Utopian theory, < that audi progress will ever .lead to human | peifcction. Ijnt during the cxi&tencc of the : institution of slavery the construction of society wfcs sueh that the means of counteracting and correcting thcfe unavoidable evils were arrived at without the ueceuiiiy of resort to j the penitentiary system. The colored papula I tion, who formed ulmost the entiro lower strat- j , urn of society, were divided into numerous | , d,.iUi. tuui.iiiiiiiiicd unucr mo absolute control ! of their respective master.*, nml all minor offences were puniehed by them without the interference of the civil magistrate, and it was only in cases of beioous crime, or where the master refused satisfaction to parties nggi ieved, that it was necessary to havo resort to the majesty of the law. The white crimiuals were mostly foreign importation?, And a Htrict and unrelewUng administration of our rather severe j penal code served to restrain them within as j narrow a sphere of ectiop as perhaps was ever : accomplished in any other place or by any other plan. | The war, howevor, a change tout cela, and if j we ore to havo any control of the colored race at all, black criminals must be put on au equal footing with their whito fellow-scoundrels , This will throw into the Stale Courts the inriu| raerable petty cases of thefts, robberies and bbbbuUs which were formerly disposed of ou the plantations according to the will of the owner or overseer, and the great number of prisoners that would thu.?, under the present laws, be given to tho custody of the sheriff? to be kept in the common jails at the pub}io cost, would entail an txpensu whiqh the finances of the State Could not Support, All the reasons, there foro, which have oombined to induce the adoption of penitentiaries in other communities, now apply with redoubled force to ypulh Carolina, and we sincerely hope that the Legislature, fit its extra session, will see to it that we have a State penitentiary, where criminals will not only Le mndo self sustaining, but where 'lliey will be sblo to do:ifer a benefit npon the country by their industry, and where -they wltl be fitted to become useful member* of the community at the expiration of their term of imprisonment.?
