We are welcoming a rad- leally opposite class of men to those wbo sat here in Recou truction a week oo and dilnted their treason through the tedions pages of Mr. Raymond's long address. ‘Every State is represented.

The General # about te run for Congress in Missouri. THE DIFFERENT DELEGATIOSE. Senstor Cresswell, ex-Gov. Fraucis Thomas and John L, Kbomas, are with the Maryland delegation. The former hus 00 fear of accepting the whole Radical fesue. The Virginians, with John Minor Botts, Hunuieutt, and Wardwell, in the Jead, promise full vuwbers and s decided tone on the question of dis ranchisemeat, proving from certain resclutions prepared by s promiuest member of the delegation tust they bid fair 1o go further than fhe ultimatum of Congress in sverything offectiug & Wwhite maw's rights o the Oid Dowinion, They will yicld, no doubt, to the gene- el voice of the Convention heartily. Gov. Riddie and the Hoo, N. B. Swithers of Delaware are at the Con- &inental Hotel, which is the general headquurters of tbe dele- gations. The Keutackians aro led by ex-Attorney-General $peed and tte Hon. Mr. McKee. The former, of course, will Yoo juflusnce in the Convention.

The preceesion to-morzow 10 escort the Couvention to the hal) of meeting, promises to be ove of the largest and most imponing @ver witoessed in this or any other city. The pulse of the foyal heart beats high, and the welcomo that will be extended o the Southern patriote will be the severest rebuke that the policy of murder oan receive. The city Is huug with flags, #nd to-morzrew especially wiil presont a gals day ar poarance. “The processien #f escort will take up its march at 10 a. m.. and by the time epecches of welcome at tho Union League House are finished it wili be meon. The Couvention will thes meet , #nd make a temporary orgavization. THE PROGRAMME. The programme of golicy which the Convention will adopt fi"' course be only vaguely foreahadowed. That ove of the e-State men of Louisisva, Judge Durant, will probably be ana’e tomporary Chairmar of the Convention or Cbairman of secommittec on Address or Resolves, is a faot of some mean: tng) , Fdgo Durant is « believer in the doctrine of universs) suffi N ® for universs! amoesty, and approves such & recon- strac % that will jake o all classes. Tle is one of the coolest beoads Wl best hearts of the Convention. THE PFRMANENCY PRESIDENT. Gever:¥ opinion poiuts to James Speed of Keutucky, Michaey Habn of Nouisians, or perbaps Gov. Floteber of Missouri - as the cholee Yr & permavent President. 1t would be poetic jus. tiee of the b \¢hest order to honor the eause which was martyre st New-Orleyas by making ono of its heroes, not yet recev- ered from the Wounds of August 30, bat still determined to do geomaary servive for Joyaliy, ehief of the Congrees of hs op- prossed bretiren, X shall not be surprised, however, to hear of Mr. Speed bein the ultimate President clected. TAF OPENING CERRMONIES. Judge Safford of glabama, a well-alzcated man and native of Alabama, will call the Convention to order. Gov. Hamilton of Texss will replyde the welcome of the Union Leagus Judges Sherwool and Usderwood are expected to take & prominent part o the progeedings. Gen. Butler.

TRE CENTIMPNTS OF TAE DELFGATION £ Rpetacy by tlewslyes, und to fimie thelr policy witboud Maynard. | the dictation and moral coercion experienced by their Rebel Drethren, 50 lately smothered by tbe killing caresses of the.r #riends from the North, The Border State soporifieation, with its oblivious influence, as usual, and & whole platform such a8 would be approved ontbusiastically by the couvictions and ex- porience of the mass of the attending Sontherners, canaot be Jooked for if this policy prevails. It oaunot be denied or dis- guised that the body of the delegations from the ulira-South are almoss ananimously in favor of liberal reconstruetion on the basis of equsl suffrage, The sentiment of Louisi Texas, and Tennessee, is woll known, avd will cotweight that of Vigluia, which is even more Ralicsl on many points, but Dot s0 liberal in the main, efther to the Rebel who hes borse arms sgainst, or the negro who bos taken up arms for his country. The ap- peal to the North, the bill of grievanoces, or resolves, or What- ever formula of polioy the Couventioniats see fit to adopt, will o furthor in mauy respects to impress and convince the mind of the North, than anything yet set forth in the Jegielation ‘We ehall have no guarrelling, at all events, and at the lecst something will be brought forth sound and reassuring to the contry, The loyal mon of the South already feel that they have it in thelr power to dictate the platform of the eouniry. Tt will be well written no doubt, and wisely Jaid down, aud will be comprebensive. Should Maryland and Delaware decide on faking rank with the welcomers, thero will be still greater homogenity awong the veteran Loyalists of the South. A MEETING OF SOUTHERN DELEGATES. A meeting of the Southern delegation was beld last evening at the rooms of the National Union Club, Gov. Fletcher of Mis- souri acting a8 Chairman, and Dr. Hawkius of Tennessce as Secretary” A Committes was sppointed to designate Who sbould act as speaker of the Southern delegation, to reply to the congratulatory reception addrens of Charles Gibbons, esq., in this city. Col. Newuess of Kentucky was appointed Cheirman of the Committes, and the Committeo selected Gov. Hamilton of Taxas to maka the’ reply, It was originally in- tended to choose Gov, Hamilton as temporary President, but having been elected speaker, it is probable that Gov. Fletcher of Missouri will be clected. The doors were subsequently thrown open and & number of speeches made. THE EASTERN DELEGATION.

PHILADELPRLA, Sept. 2, 1866, A Union prayer meeting was held this évening at the rooms of the Mationsl Uuion Club, on Chesnat-st., near Twelith, Tho rooms were packed, most of those present bo ing delegates to the Convention. The different delegation thought this mode of spending the evening o better one than conversing in their committee-room, Heg.
