AFTERNOON SESSION. On the reassembling of the Convention in the afternoon the following address, from tbe pen of Wm. 8. Robiuson of Malden, was read and unavimously adopte THE ADDRESS AND RESOLUTI The address says: “We beheld the United States deliberately placin, combination of balf-reconstructed range epectaclo of the President of the himself at the head of a bels and their defeated eoing about the country,sccompanied by a portion of his Cabinet, and denouncing the legislative branch of the Government as an illegal and iraitorons body b upon the verge of the Government, which Goverameat proposes to be, aud avowing principles and purposes the logi- cal results of which must be a violent attempt to subvert Con- gress, or at the very le a repudiation of all its Jegislation since the war broke out. We cannot be fusensible that until the term of this dang s man shall expire, all the finaneial and business interests of the country will be subject to dis- turbance; all the legislation of Congress is lisble to overtbrow, or o denial of its validity; the Awendment of the Coustitution prohlbnlnflfluery is of precarious and doubiful permanence, and there is most iminent danger of losing everything which we won by suceeseful war on land avd sea.” ‘The address then declare: t.

THE SOUTHERN LOYALISTS WELCOMED. Mr. Stone introduced a resolution, which was cnthusi- astically adopted, welcoming and indorsing the Southern loyal delegation. ADDRESS OF SENATOR WILSON. Senator Wilson was then called for, and made an able speech, in which be smd that the sentiments of the ad dress would be sustained by 100,000 majority of the people of Massachusetts. [Great applause.] Aud that the Jove of country, of liberty, and of equal rights was strouger iu this State than the Republican party think it is. SPEECH FROM MR. GEO. B. LORING. Geo. B. Loring, esq., made a Radical speech, which was well received, and then the Convention adjourned. EFFECTS OF THE VISIT OF THE SOUTHERNERS. The trué Radicals are delighted with the visit of their allies of the Gulf States. They say that they have had a salutary influence on our trimming politicians. The fact has been palpable that it is tho most radical sentiments and the most radical men who Lave been the most popu- lar with the masses of the people. Alth Wend Phillips was not_invited to welcome the gates, he was received in entbusiasm than Butler. THE SCENE IN FANEUIL HALL. Faxpui Hawy, 1. p. m.—The old Hall is jammed again, and hundreds are goim: away unable to enter. Each Southern radical as he appears is greeted with rounds of applause. The bands are playing those patriotic tunes which the boys in blue always cheer, and the traitors iu gray always don’t. Gen. Builer is receiviug a rousing threo times three of cheers as he enters, to welcome the Southern loyalists on behalf of the Republican Convention, 014, feeble, but fiery Brownlow is being warmly cheered as ho totters forward. He says ho shall only confine his remarks to the ladies prescnt, mauy of whom from ap- pearance are single. [Laughter.] When you are inclined 1o change your relation to society, which you are all in- clined to do [laughter], never Yisten to a sveech from a Northern Copperhead or a Southern Rebel. [Renewed uthern del laughter.] A man who is false to his country will never be true to bis wife and children. The Governor sat down amid loud spplause, “GOV. HAMILTON INTRODUCED. Gov. Hamilton was next introduced, and was received with three rousing cheers, When he descri e course of the President as ot a policy to build up the nation, but a plot to destroy the party that saved it, when Le asserted Rt Congress alone Lad the power to deterinine the mode and manner of reconstruction; that while no Stute has a legal or moral ni)n to secede, yet in fact it may by force secede and thereby subject itselfafter conquest to military law and usages elone. That the Rebel States baving done 0 are not now vital eommonwealths, and never will be until reanimated by Congress; that while by seceding in fact they lost all’ their own rights, and the na- tional Government lost none of its rig when he anui- hilated, with indignant sarcasm, the sophistry of those who argue tiat because the Rebels hed 1o rifihl to secede, they never did secede, and thercfore taatneither party have either gained or lost any rights; when he declared that the Rebels should be treated as public conquered enemies; when he spoke respectfully of the loyal black mau, who never lifted dand or heart against the Union, when be swd thet the President had no right to have auy policy in opposition ta the will of the people, that the Rebels had taken the oath and they would L‘l-p 1t from the teeth outward. The cheers and applanse which greoted him showed that old Massachusctts said amen to young Texas. His speech vas long und able, but the audicnce was too friendly to esll forth his full powers. Neither Border Stgtes nor Nerthern politicians badgered him into the elo- guence here, with which he thrilled Philadelphia. He said thet in Texas 8 thousand frecdmen had been mur- dered within s pear, and yet not & man had been punished forit.

Their sufferings on the borders of Ester Belloras have been frightful; dysentery fhucho), intermittent fevers and malignant small-pox have thinned their ranks to an llrEfllhug extent. The lack of dectors is grievously felt and has contributed 1n great part toward this terriblo mortality.

From Our Own Correspondent. Fisuxiit, N, Ya, Sept. 12, 1866, This qmet village of 900 souls, nestled at the base of the Eastern Highlands, is scarcely known to the great traveling world which rushes past it by way of the Har- Jem and the Hudson River Railroads, only a few miles Qistant. Yot this secluded spot is famous for its Revolu- tionary incidents, and is the scene of many most interest- ing events. Secure, by its distance from New-York and its location above the Highlands, from the nfipmch of the enemy, tho Americans, after the fall of ew-York, removed their depots fi,rxurpheu, their hospitals and their isoners to this point. In this vicinity most of the incidents are laid which Cooper has so’ ably wrought into the story of the Spy. ‘These mountains and passes wero the field of Harvey Birch’s remarkable exploits. The sword used by Washington during the war was fabri- cated by Mr. J. Bailey in this place, and it is now to be seen in Washington. Here the army orders were printed, while the headquarters were at Newburgh, by don, & New-York printer. Here, also, ho issued a Whig Puper during the remainder of the war. The first Consti- wtion of this State was also printed here in 1777. Copies of this exist, but they are very rare. One-third of the inhabitants of the town were Tories, but the remainder were thorough and active whig-. 1n this very chureh, Crosby and the party of Tories hethad betraged to his ‘Whig friends were confined as prisoners, and from it he eseaped by the connivance of the committee. Hero La- fayotte was confined several weeks by sickness, and re- ceived several visits from Washington. All these inei- dents, together with tho natural beauty of the region, in- vest it with great interest, The celebration to-dey of the founding of this church one and a half centuries ago has called these facts to our recollection. This festivity gathered o large number of clergymen from different portions of the Reformed Dutch Chureh, and also led many of the sons and daughters of Fishkill to revisit the scenes of their early years. When the bell tolled the hour for these public “exercises to be- gin, between 700 and 800 _porsons crowded :he_body, the Ieries and aisles of this ancient church. The people iad adorned it with evergroens, and thur fitted it up taste- fully for the oceasion. im-u‘v opposits the pulpit the gallery bore the inscription, ** Praise ye the Lord!*” Upon the left side was inscribed, * The Lord our God, be with us, as he was with our fathers,” while the right presented the encouraging seripture, “Instead of thy fathers, shall be thy children.” The choir opencd the excreises by singing the anthem, * Praise ye the Lord.” The Res. o:r'r! H. Fisher, D. D., of Hackensack, N. J., the only surviving former pastor of the churchoffered an impreisive prayer, The following hymn,written for the occasion by Miss Ann R. Barralo of Hopewell was sung by the choir: Thrice fifty years our altar fires Have burned within this sacred place, Eskindled by our bouored sires, Luspired oy the God of grac Thrice fifty years, thrice fifty years!
