To-day, fixed for the opening of the great National ‘Convention of 1866, was ushered in with roseate smiles sunshine, Phobus, evidently being in good humor, Wave promise that he would run bis course to the close twithout giving occasion to have repeated Macbeth’s criti- ‘wiam upon the weather when he said, ‘So fair and foul wm day I have not seen.” But so it is necessary to record, ‘be morning sun rose early and so did the great body litte that at present lives, moves and has its being in he great city of Philadelphia, Throughout the previous ‘evening, late inte the night, and indeed up to the ama’ wee ours, thore had been caucuses and private meotings, ‘Bad conferences and confidential consultations upon the all absorbing topic of the hour, the best way & open the business of the Convention on ‘the morrow 60 as to insure its harmonious working to the great desired ond. Everything promised success. ( The teaders having themselves fused and smoked the @alumet of peace, Tt was of course plain sailimg to bring ‘the trae and ¢carmest men—the men who desire to see the Union fully restored, all sections at peace, and the men North and South linked once more together as brethren of the great republic—to perfect accordbon the detail which aay govern the proceedings of the Con- ‘vention.

Thus the matter stood ‘when the last committee man and reporter last night Ronght their rest—sought it and found it not. Bat the dawn, which is the disposor of darknes® and all chimeras dire, dissipated the tact shadowy vestige which re maimed of Vallandigham as a thing to be troubled at. ‘The hotels bad not yet gven forth their crowded and wurefresbed inmates—though “refreshers’’ had long been anx ‘ously sought after—when jt was rumored that Valland cham had succumbed, had thrown up the sponge and had retired from the contest. Men of both parties were pleased at this, the Southern delegations even more than their Northern confréres, for they could entertain ho respect for the man who, when he went among thom to seck protection, fled aghast ai the responsibilit es swiygeh freedom and that protection demanded from Lim weil, aud again turned tail to seck ivnominious safety ‘The many who were not aware of the facie in the ease were doulful of the report, and anxiously awaited (he arrival of the Henao, to seek in ite -olumns an explana tiow or sofution of what was to them an enigma.

Governor Porry, of South Carolina, was introducéd and said he bad come from South Carolina in the spirit of General Grant, who bad said that there way nothing bet- ter than for the people of the North and South to inter. mingle with each other, that prejudices would be swept away and the great republic would be united Into one great people—a power among the nations of the earth. Though he had come from South Carolina, he would say‘that he§ had always beon a Union mon. He believed in the doctrine of Washington's Farewell "Address, that our nation should ever remain one in government, spirit and love. South Carolina had accepted in good faith the results of the late contest. She had contended for the principles of secession—a right in which he never believed him- seif—and had almost stood alone among his neighbors, the friend and advocate of the Old Uniott. The State of South Carolina had honestly believed in socession, but her sons had now fully accepted the situa- tion and as he had told Prosident Johnson last sumer when appointed Provisional Governor, South Caroline is | has sworn obe r warm: vlooded her people may be, they are honest and houotabie n all their doings; they are vow as loyal. to the United States as the people of Pennsylvania.
