We witnessed the scene of the Con vention in Philadelphia yesterday and the day before, and feel justified in stating that its effect upon the minds of all in that city, without distinction of party, was astounding, beyond that of an: thing of the sort that has ever occurred in this country. We have no means of estimating the number of strangers gathered there, but are certain that the crowd in and around the “wigwam” while the Convention was in ses- sion, and at the different hotels during other hours, was double that which made the fa mous similar gathering in Baltimore in 1840, the most memorable outpouring of the people of every section of the Union that had taken Place up to the convocation of this body now in session. We were forcibly impressed with the fact that there seemed to be quite as many present who not long since were in full amfil- iation with the Republican party, as Deme- crats. There can be no mistake upon this point, which is of great importance in draw- ing correct inferences concerning the probable result of the action of the body. It is more- over amply admitted in the trenzied tear man- ifested by the Philadelphia Press in all it is publishing concerning the Convention, its ac- tion, and its composition. Another significant factis the entire harmony and unity of purpose that marks all that is being said and done there. This purpose is to unite into one party all who sustain the policy of the President, irrespective of their previous political positions. This has certainly been accomplished so far all now in Philadelphia are concerned; and it cannot be doubted that its accomplishment there is but the precursor of its accomplishment in eyery State in the Union. The enthusiasm of 1549 was not more marked tham that being displayed there just now. None are to be found in attendance on this Convention who do not regard it as securing the triumph of the President's policy beyond peradventure, in securing, as it has done, per- fect accord between and among all persons and classes, North, South, Eastand West, who de- sire to save the comntry from the destructive effects of a continuation of the mad rule of the radical extremists of Congress. No mau who was in Philadelphia yesterday and the day before can doubt that the Union | is already thoroughly restored, except im the matter of the refusal of Congress to accord to the people of the Southern States their right of representation guarantied by the Constitu- tion and Jaws. Nor can any man who was there doubt that the people will speedily right that wrong. The thousands there congregated were emphatically representative men, giving utterance to the feelings and opinions of the great body of the people, upon the most momentous question of the times. The first fruit of the action of this Conyen. tion will doubtiess be the prompt assem- bling of 4 convention representing all men of all parties in Pennsylvania who sustain its purposes and action, to determine what is best to be done to secure the defeat of the Radicals in that State in October next. There are torty or fifty thousand voters in Pennsylvania who, never having up te this time voted for Democratic party nominees, stand ready to vote for any candidates, whether former Democrats or Republicans, nominated simply as standard bearers of the cause and principles represented by this Von, vention. We know of our own knowledge that yesterday the leading Radicals in Phila- delphia were dreading beyond measure the appearance of a call for such a Uonvention and were basing all their hopes otf retaining control of the State upon their belief that the majority of the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee and Mr. Heister Clymer will sooner be beaten with their old party flag nailed to the mast-heaa, than adopt the policy which will insure Geary’s defeat and the de- struction of Radical ascendency every where: under the auspicies of the new political or- ganization born this day in their own midst, on their own soil—ushered into the world as it were, by their own hands.

Horner, chief medica officer of the Freedman’s Bureau, has received a dispatch from Dr, Laweon. surgeon in chieg of the Bureau in Georgia, giving an account of the rise and progress of the cholera in Sa- vannah. He states that the disease appeared simultaneously at several points, and was doubtless introduced by the deserting we from Tybee Island. The first case in Savan- nah was the pilot of a steamer, who died July 29th. On the 2d of August a colored person ‘was admitted to the hospital from the city, who died soon after, since which time several deaths under su: circumstances have occurred. On the i inet. there were two deaths of marked cholera, and or. the next day there were five new cases and one death. On Sunday morning. the hospital received five more new cases, one of which resulted in death, and before the day closed there were two more new cases and one more death. The diweease does not seem to be ofa very at cbaracter; the spasms are not very violent, nor are the cramps, and the vomiting is not severe. The disease yields very readily to treatment, but itis marked. Surgeon Lawton, further, that thus far the disease exists 1 afew casesin this city, but if it spreads, and many freed-people have it, he would open the boepital to the citizens, hs ae agreement of the eity eis. to furnish physicians, meat, ice, brandy; 4c. »~ After the return of Secretary Seward yes- terday, he sent imvitations to Queen Emma of the Sandwich Islands, and her lady of honor, Mise Spurgin, to dire with him at 7 o'clock, At the appointed hour Mr. Seward's carriage drove up to Willard’s, and received the royal cuest and her lady of honor. The party was small, consisting only of the Secre- tary of State, the Queen, and M: purgin’ Mrs. Seward being at present absent from the city. After dinner & portion of the evening Was spent in conversation, and shortly after | S o'clock the royal gnest returned to the ho- tel, apparentiy well pleased with the visit.

Representation in the Congress of the United States,and in the Electoral Colleges, is a right recognized by the Constitution as abuiing inevery State, and as a@ duty imposed upon its people, fundamental in its nature and es- sential to the existence of our republican in- stitutions, and neither Congress nor the Gen- eral Government has any authority or power to deny this rightto any State or to withhold its enjoyment under the Constitution from the people thereof. 4th. We call upon the people of the United States to elect to Congress as members thereof hone but men who admit the fundamental right of representation, and who will receive to seats therein loyal representatives from every State in allegiance to the United States, subject to the constitutional right of each House to judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members. Sth. The Constitution of the United States, and laws made in pursuance thereof, are the supreme law of the land, anything in the con. stitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. All the power not conferred by the Constitution upon the General Gov- ernment. nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people thereof: and among the rights thus reserved to the States isthe right to prescribe qualiticati for the elective tranchise therein, with which right Congress cannot interfere. No State or convention of States has the right to withdraw from the Union, or to exclude through their action, in Congress or otherwise, any other State or States from the Union. The union of these States is perpetual. 6th. Such amendm to the Constitution of the United States be made by the peo- ple thereot as they may deem expedient, bat only in the mode pointed out by its provisions ; and in proposing such amendments. whether by Congress or by & convention, and in ratify- ing the same, all the States of the Union have 4n equal and incefeasible right to a voice and vote thereon. 7th. Slavery is abolished and forever pro- hibited, and there is neither desire nor purpose on the part of the Southern States that it should ever be re-established upon the soil or within the jurisdiction of the United States; and the enfranchised slaves in all the States of the Union should receive, im common with all their inhabitante, equal protection inevery right of person and of property. Sth. While we regard as utterly invalid and never to be assumed or made of ding force any obligation incurred or undertaken in making war against the United States, we bold the dept of the nation to be sacred and invio- lable, and we proclaim our purpose in dis- cbarging this, as in rming all other na- tional obligations, to maintain unimpsired ana to ri the honor and the faith of the ublic. 9th. It is the duty of the National Gevern- Ment to recognize services of the Federal soldiers and sailors in the contest just closed by meeting promptly all their just and rightfal claims for the services they have rendered the nation, and by extending to those of them who have survived and to the widows and orphans of those who Have fallen most generous and considerate care. 10th. In Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, who, im his great office, has proved steadfast in his devotion to the Con- stitution, the laws, and interests of coun- try, unmoved by ition and undeserved reproach, and having faith unassa:lxble in the people, and in the principie of tree govern- ment, we recognize a chief magistrate worth; of the nation and equal to. the great crisis apen which his lot is cast; @nd we tender to Dim, in the discharge of his high and honor- able duties, our profound respect and assur- ance of our cordial and sincere support.
