Not halt that num- ber, however, are stopping there now, nor has it been more than half full during the seasou: which bas been a dulione, comparatively, for all the mountain houses, As the Glen House is not crowded it must be from pure force og habit that its officials crowd their guests—espe- cially the male portion unaccompanied by la- dies—into the poorest rooms in the house. There 1s a good deal ofgrumbling here amongst the “stags” in consequence, and the same comp‘aint is made by parties arriving from Crawford’s- No he traveler should come to the mountain houses without a wife: or it he hasn't any of his ewn let bim borrow a neighbor's, or take along some pretty cousin to serve as a sort of brevet wife, to insure him con-<ideration. Prices rule high at the mountain huuses this sexson—from $4 to $6 per day: and almost as many “extras” as ata London hotel. Dancers have to pay for their music o° nights, and are restricted to the open halls, to save the parlor carpets, (at the Glen Hoase;) consequently there is much less dancing going on here than of yore, and the young folks. who don’t come especially to view the mountains, vote the place decidedly stupid. The hotels here, too, have grown economic4l in the matter of ears Visitors here five years ago will remember tha; every mountain honse sported its black or brown bear: the Crawford House generally taking the lead in number. They made im. mense fun for everybody, and were deemed an indispensable “side-show”™ to the mountains Now when you ax for the bear he isn’t there. His beer-az are empty and bare! The completion of the carriage rond tothe Summit (spelled with a capital S up here) of Mount Washington has made & great revoin- tion in the mode of travel. Parties now ar- riving at Gorham by the Grand Trunk rail. road can take carmage at Gorham and be whisked up to the top of Mount Washington and off again by the evening trains to Canada or Portland, which is bad for the hotels. The carriages are generally four or six-horse, and will take up two persons to each horse, Pri- vate parties go up with their own teams, the grade of the road being from twelve toeighteen feet to the mile only; but the strainis so con. tunuous, though gradual, down the long des- cent, that persons heedlessly going up in car- riage ithout brakes bave ruined valuable anim: The “Tip-Top House” and the “Summit House,” formerly rival concerns, are now rented by Hitchcock, the proprietor ot the Alpine House, at Gorham, who pays $5,000 per year for the rent of this barren moun- tain top and its stone houses. The “ Tip-Top House” he uses for hotel purposes, and the *Summit House” as a lodging-house for such guests as overfiow the former. Sleeping apart. ments haye also been provided over a large frame stable recently erected en the mountain top, FO that accommodations are afforded tor the numbers that come up of a fair night to see a Mount Washington sunsetand sunrise. Prosaic as the ascent of Mount Washington ismade by the omnibus road, it is threatened to take the heroic out of it entirely, by the construction of ratlroad up the western side. Sylvester Marsh, a wealthy gentleman of Boston, (formerly a Western pork-packer,) has entered upon the enterprise, and proposes to construct a half mile of the road to test irs feasibility, and then form a joint stock com- pany for the completion of the work. Some 400 feet has already been built, and is in use for the elevation of material for the road. The rise on the part constructed is 104 inches to every 36 inches, but the grade will not beso steep as this up the entire ascent. It is de. signed to take the road directly up the side of the mountain without zig-zag, and in « dis. tance of three miles. No grading is required, as the rai) is tobe run up on timbers. It as proposed to build a hundred-thousand-dollar- railroad hotel at the foot of the mountain, and a turnpike road thence to Littleton, N.H., to connect with the Connecticut valley railroads. The titte to the acre of rocks at the top ot Mount Washington has not yet been settled, but is etill in the cour the contestants being the Pinagree heirs, of Salem. and John Bel- lows, of I » N.H.

A policeman, however, arrested him, but foolishly consented wo let him drive the wagon slowly to the station-house, while his captor Walked on the sidewalk beside him.

I propose the name of General John A. Dix, of New York, as temporary chair- MAn of this Convention. [Cheers.} The proposition was received with unani- Mousacclamation. General Jobn A. Dix came torward and said SPEMCH OF GENERAL pix Gentlemen of the Convention — citizens of the Whole Union: 1 beg you to accept my sin- cere thanks for the honor you bave done me in chooeing me as temporary chairman to preside over your deliberations. 1 regard it as a dis- tinction Of no ordinary character, not only on account of the high standing, social and polit- ical, of those who compose this Convention, but because it 1s a Convention of ail the States, and I do not doubt, if its proceedings are con- ducted with hsrmony and good judgment, 1t Will lead to the most important reswits. In- deed, it may be truly said that no body of men bas met on this continent under circumstances ™more momentous or delicate since the year iis7, When our ancestors assembled here to orm a better government for the States which were parties 1@ the old Confederation—a gov- ernment confirmed and made more enduring, we trust. by the fearful trials and perils it bas encountered and overcome. The Con- stitution which they came here to plan and construct we are here to vindicate and re- store. We are here to assert the supremacy of representative government over all who are within the confines of the Union — that form of government which cannot, without a violation of its fundamental principles, be ex- tended over any but those who are represent- ed. and who. by force of that representation, are entitled to & voice in its administra: This is the Government our fathers founded and put in operanon. It is the Government We are enjoined by every consideration of fidelity. justice, and good faith to defend and maintain. Gentlemen, we are not living un der such a Government. Thirty-six States have been for mouths governed by twenty- five. Eleven States baye been wholly without representation in the legislative body. The numerical proportion of the represented to the senied bas just been changed by the on of the delegates trom Tennessee—a ‘n trom the smailer and added to the et at i? unit larger number, Ten States, having regularly organized governments in full operation, are still denied the representation to which they are entitled under the Constitution. It is this wrong which we have come here to protest Against, and as far as in us lies, to redress When the Presideut of the United States de- clared armed resistance to the authority of the Government at an end, it was the right of all the States to be represented in Congress. They were, moreover, entitled to be so represented on other grounds of fairness and gvod faith. The President suggested to the contederated States to accept certain conditions to the ad- mussion to the exercise of their legislative functions as members of the Union—the rati- fication of the amendment to the Coustitu- tion abolishing slavery. It was their right un- der the Constitution. 1t was ther right under resolutions passed in Isel by both Houses of Congress, not concurrent, but substantialiy identical, and the repudiation ef the debts contracted to overthrow the Government These conditions were accepted and agreed | to. The exaction of new conditions is unjust, & violation of the good faith of the Govern. ment, subversive of the fundamental princi- ples of our political system, and dangerous to the public prosperity and peace. Eirher House of Congress may, as the judge of the quatifications of its members, reject individ als for just cause; but the two Houses, as a body, ne ting conjointly, cannot exclude entre delegations without mn unwarrantable as- fumption of power. Congress has not only done this; it has gone farther. It has pre- scribed new conditions im the form of amenud- ments to the Constitution. There is not the least probability that these amendments will ified by three-fourths of the States. To ton the conditions they impose is to p he exclusion from Con, he representatives of more than one quar- r of the States of the Union. is this the overnment our fathers fought to establish: ’ is it the Government we have been fighting to preserve! (Gentlemen, there is no need of impeaching motives: nothing is ever gained by vituperation or by declaring other bodies of men to be less couscientious than ourselves but we believe the scheme of ex jon adop- ted by Congress to be the off=pring of vit warped by prejudice and passion: a policy which neither addresses nor commends itseif to the good judgment of the country, toits gen- erosity Or 8 justice. The President has done ali within the scope of his consitutional pow- ers to correct this wroug—to restore the legis- lative branch of the Government to its tuil proportions, by giviug to sil the members of the Union the share inthe National Gouncils to which they are entitled. Legislation with- out representation is anomaly under our politicalsystem. itis butanotber narae under other forms of government for u-urp: mand misrule. The President deserves the tuanks of the country for the firmness with which be has resisted a policy so unjust, so illiberal. so demoralizing, and so directly at war with every principle of our political organization Ihave referred to the condition of Federal legislation under the aspects of right on the one hand and of only on the other the right of the States to be represented—the duty of Con- gress to their representatives. On the score of policy, nothing could be more unwise than to continue the present anomalous relations of the States to each other. It is calculated to embitter on both sides animosities which we should endeavor, by all mea-ures, to smooth and heal. It disturbs the action of Govern- ment; it deranges the application of labor and capital: it impairs the development of our re- sources, and it impairs our credit and our ood name at home and abroad dit retards the progress of the country on its march to prosperity andpower. 1 trust, gentlemen, we shall make one greal purpose the chief object of our deliberstions—arresting the evils I have referred to by redressing the wrong of which they are the legitimate fruits. There is much in the administration of our public affairs which needs amendment—some things to be done and others to undone. There are com- mercialand financial reforms which are essen- tial to the general welfare. but we shall have no power to carry them out until we shall have changed the political complexion of Congress. This should be our first, our im- Mediate aim. It is in the Congressional dis- triets that the vital contest is to take place. All other objects should subordinate this. When we shall have secured a majority in one House of Congress we shail have the power of preventing partial, unjust, and nernicious ins tract indefinite, © legislation. The coxtroi of both Houses with the power to introance and en- jorve sainitary reforms—in the language of Jefferson to bring back the Government to the republican track—must come late, but with = discreet and = asarmonious actien on our part, and on the part of those we repre- sent, it cannot be long deferred. I believe that public sentyment is right, Itis only necessary to present to the people clearly the issues be- tween us and the ultraism which controls the action of Congress, And, gentlemen. is not the object for which we ure contending a con- summation worthy of our highest and most devoted efforts—to bring back the Republic, purified and strengthened by the fiery ordeal through which it bas passed, to its ancient prosperity 1nd power; to present to the world, as an example worthy of imit: n,not a mere Utopian vision of a Government, but that grand old reality of better umes, with which the memory of our fathers and the recollec- tions of the past are all inseparably en- tombed—one country, one flag, one Union of equat State The remarks of Gen. Dix were receiyed with great enthusiasm. He was frequently interrupted by cheers. At the conclusion of his remarks the cheering Wis tremendous and long continued. Gen. Dix ‘ben saiad:—Itis proposed to open the proceedings of the Convention witb prayer. He then introduced the Rey. R. N. McDonald, who made 2 prayer, the audience reverently standing.
