However, it would perliaps oo iDg too far to consider the present changs of ministers us on ndication of an advance toward Prossia, Wo are not al lowed to forget that the Constitution does not admit ministe rial responsibility. M.

This awful cold reception given to the Conveution is a bitter rebuke to the more sensitive and well intended of the delegates, but the majority of them are office holders, or applicants for office, and “they don't care for receptions.

In looking around on the members of the Conventi anything but us they sat assembled for business, | saw many whose torics satisfied me of their objects in being here, The wost prominent aud couspicuous was Custar. His caliber ofun Ohio delegte, who said, is explained by the remes t very little “ Custar is a man with a good desl of bair, | braius.’ Custar has been supporting the President vigor- ously since bis evidence before the Recoustruction Com- wmittee, and his reward was a promotion from Caf Lieutenant-Colonel. Next to Custar comes Gen, Winters of Obio. There are many men among the delegates who fought well during the war, but I can’t place Gen., Winters them. Winters's presence will be explained in the wing words: He was a Radical Republican until he wins defeated in_ the nomiuvation for Congress- wan in the Mansfield District, Obi e then went to Washington, aud = promised the President to stump his District agaiost the Radical candi- date for Congress, and use all his influcnce in he elect theJolinson candidates provided he (Johnson) would o him (Winters) the Assessor of luternal Revenue in 8o Winters is here to prove Lis loyalty to il the District. the President’s policy. ant forthe War Desk at Washington; Lew.Campbell, the regular Minister to Mexico, who has been taking care of bis country’s iuterest by staying in Obio and attending Johnson Conventions; Gui.

I heard some of the delvfum say that there would have been a larger number of delegates here, but they wero afraid that if they were appoiuted to office the Senate next Winter would not coutirm thew. This is a point that worries & great many. OPENING PROCEEDING. Gov. Bramlette of that ultra loysl State of Kentucky called the Convention to order, and proposed Gen. Wool for President. Just before the Convention was called to order, Gens, Roussean and Custar entered the tent with their bats off, and were loudly eheered. Then Gen. Rous. seau, fecling petnotic, proposed thi cheers for the flag with 36 stars, the ident n‘,fiu; left in his hands by the President when he passed through Louisville. ‘The mem- bers got tuto a cheering mood, and three hearty ons ere given for Gen. Geo. B, MeClellan; then came cheers fur Steeduian and Wool, By this time, Gen. Granger got up and walked around, withi a cigar in his mouth, imagiuing to himself that he looked like Gen, Grant. He winked at a New-York delegate, and immediately three cheers for Granger were proposed, and three for Bramlette. Andrew Johuson received three more fmmense cheers, acd last, but whether least or not, I caunot tell, came three cheers for Gen. Grant. Sheridan aud Sherman were entirely for. gotten.

AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTIOS. An important resolution, expelling from the list of dele- gates every member who may be a disbonorably discharged soldier , was introduced. This, of course, will prevent the reading of a letter from Fitz John Porter, if he should send one. Don Carlos Buell, however, would be welcome, A SPEECH PROM GEN. EWING.

A Convention will be permanently orgauized to-mor- row morning. Gens. Granger and Cistar are spoken of as permanent Presidents, So also is Roussean and Steed- mas. There are a number seeking the position in case of ; quarrel. Mr. Doolittle will settle matters, Custar is 18 AL, CLEVELAXD, Obio, Monday, Sept. 17 ~Evening. THE OHI0 DELEGATION MEETING—A SCHEME PROPOSED. The Ohio delegation held a meeting at the Kennard House and had & long discussion on the prospects of the Johnson party at the coming elections, #rom ‘what some of the delegaics said, I judge they expect an overwhelm- iug defeat at the polls in October. At the suggestion of Col. Lewis D. Campbe!l, a Committeo was appointed, consieting of Lewis D. Campbell as Chairman, Col. Given, Gen. Fizale, Col. Barber, George B. Senter and Major Brookfield, who are to have a conference with the Demo- crate State Central Committee of Ohio _and rr‘url{ the withdrawal of the wbole Democratic State ticket, including Congressmen and sll, from the contest, and nominate & new ticket, composed wholly of Conserva- tive-Republicans. It is hoped by this plan that the people will be blinded into supporting’ the ** My Policy” ticket, and a few Johnson Congressmen gained.” It is the last regort of o routed and panic-stricken army of swindlers, A MEETING IN THE EVENING. A small meeting was held to-night in the tent, at which several delegates spoke. The sentiments expressed were of the utmost pro-Slavery character, the s} ers being particular to let their hearers know they did not fight to abolieh Slavery. It is very evident from the speaking so ;u that the $fcClellan Democrats are in tho ascendency ere. EFPECTS OF THE WEATHER ON THE DELEGATES.

He said they had assembled to consult as to their Qduty and action fn the impending political conflict. The, owed allegiance to no politiesl party, but to the country an its laws, Before the war mauy of them. bad been Repub- licans, many of them Democrats with varyiog opisions on_the question of Slavery. That question was de- cided in 1660, At the close of the contest 11 States withdrew from the Union, and the President called upon the people to come forward and suppress the revolt. The oull was promptiy responded to by the rats, Repablicans and Bell and Everett men; and after four years of wor the Rebellion was suppressed. What bound s together in that conflict of arms ¢ Not batred of Slavery, for on that question we differed. Not love of war, for wo all desired pence. Not botred of the Southern people, for they were our coun- trymen. No, It was the sentiment of nationality, determination thet tho Union sbonld be preserved and made perpetual. That was the only purpose of the war known or recoguized by the army and of the United States, That was the sentiment that raised ak our armies and the soul of them all. Neither army vor nv{ nor people had any other pur| . Lincoln adbered throughout the war 1o that . When it was seen that the Rebellon was staggering and about to fall, the Radicals began to consider bow the contest would be wound up %o as to perpetnate their power and promote their sectional theories and faterests, A month after the ampesty proclamation of Lincoln, lhw pre- sented their plan of recoustruction through Heury Winter Davis, declarin, thern St hilated ond requir- ing their admission the same as Territories. Lincoln refused 10 sign it, and they then opened their assauits on him, the same as now upon Johnson, and for precisely the same reason vention was called at Cleveland to demounce Mr. Lin- lan, ‘he speaker here read the call for that Convention, which, ke d, sounded like a blast from tho bugle of Greeley or Forney i the present day. The same meu aro fow threaf to impeach Johnson; the same men who stood by Lincoln then stand by Jobuson now, with the eingle exception of Mr. Lane of Todfana. The Presidential cauvass came on, and the that had carried on the war met in Con- at Baltimore and renominated Lincoln by acclamation. That Convention ruud u resolution drawn by the Hon, H. J. Raymond, declaring that the only eonditions of peace and restoration were the surrender of the Rebel Tn res the stan army aud the return of the Southern peopla to their ailegiance. The Radicals huog on the skirts of the war party, Ly secured their redicetion, but, nothing da they remewed their onslaught on the 1o the light of this recital is it Johnson or Congress that Las turned traitors to the principles on which be and Lincoln aud Congress were elected 1 Congress still wishes to blow the embers of war, while Jobnson desires peace. They will have peace except on terms which secure party aad seeti dominion; while Johuson desires Union on the basia of the Constitution. The Secessionists drove the States into rebellion by the oid ery of “aboli-tionist,” while the Radicals keep the Union separated by the siill more dreaded cry of * traitor.” That ery bad 1o terror to the soldiers. ‘Their oath taken on enter- ing the army bound them to preserve the Union by every means in thelr power, They owed allegiance rather to the Constitution than to philanthropic theories, however right. To save the Coustitntion they were ready to strike bands with the Demoeratic party and labor with it so long as it re- mained true to the Union. We may look in vain for the South 1o vote to degrade 200,000 of their ablest men, or to surrender one-fourth of their represeutatives ss -cponmy for Mml:s suffrage to the negroes. The Louisiana Convention intends to e rulers of the negroes aud slaves of the whi l, when it reassembles, wiil probably do it. 1f so, the army with which Grant split the Confederacy in two would not be able to proserve order; avarchy would cnsue, and probably asotber civil war, whose ashes would cover the foundations of the Government.

There were about 100 men, including visitivg delegations. The Convention put in nomination a full ticket, and adjourned’ about 4 o'clock p. m. Just before adjournment the Rebels brought @ band of music upon the street, which played “Dixie,” “The Bonme Blue Flag” &e. and soon gathered about them a hlg erow of armed men. A Union man, Thomas nnlifi;,g being very noisy upon the street, the Sheriff went to him and was in the act of quieting him, when a Constablo uamed Calaban, of notorious Rebel record, came up with & poese of men and pointed cut Dunnigan, who s ido the Sheriff, saying: * There he is—take him,” or words to/ that effect. Immediately the Rebels, who had assembled to the number of four hundred, commenced firing upon eves Union man upon the street, Four were instantly kil | and a large number wounded, The bushwhackers drove the Union men out of the town, and four hundred Rebels now bold possession of it. A Mr. Heath visited Platto City to get his brother’s body, but was not allowed to take' it {unv.

Special Dispateh to The N. Y. Tribune. Bavtrone, Monday, Sept. 17, 1666, A meeting of the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church was held here to-night, to express indignation at the outrageous attack upou the Colored Camp Meeting, & fow weeks ago, by Rebel sympathizers and returned Rebel soldiers. A mass of evidence was read proving that the attack and subsequent pi of colored le's tents was en- MM u::unn-nudm‘d people from all blawme. : Most abusive and insulti used b} tors. toward the whi ":m‘,m-: :'Im'lwnz" ai roters Abolition tendencies of the Methodist Church. "Rev. John Lanahen, the presiding elder in an address to- night said these attacks he considercd wero aimed at the Methodist Church and at religions liberty in the land. They were not confined in their influence and sim to the mere participants in the camp meeting, but if allowed to t:"ll must affect all religious liberty. Nothing had yet n heard from the officers of the State, but if a band” of men made a general and murderous attack upon o white congregaticn, there would be a great outery from these officials. Other addresses were made and the following resolutions unanimously adopted, by Ministers and Laymen of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the State of First—That the recent ageravated and unprovoked assan't upon the colored wylo worshiping at ove of our canp meet- ings in Shipley’s Woods, Acue Arudell County, on the of the 30th of August, and the premeditated interference another of our eccampments in 8 similar manoer. io Montgo- mery County, and exscated ouly in ‘because of the knowl edge thereof having been obtained and timely weasures take to prevent it, merits and should receive indiguation and eon- deination, not only of ourselves, but of all Christian peogle throughout the State. Second: That in these great and other similar wrongs wo see clearly exhibited not only a most bitter hatced of the col- ored people, but a hatred no less intense to the Methodist Eviscopal Church on this border, and that these camp-meeting outrages especially were aimed alike at white sud colored people there worshiping. Third: That we most earnestly condemn the burning and destruction of churches aud scliool-bouses of col veordo and the many ontrageons assaults upon their teachers that Lavo taken place within a recent period in our State as sbo ing & most wicked purpose to deprive thew of the commone: righ's of humanity, and call upon uil good citizens everywhe to frown them down. and to use all their influcace to prevent their recurrence. ispecially do we call upon the members of our ehurch o to do, in whose folds so mavy of these feeble ones belong Fourth: That the Methodist Episcopal Church that has been s0 seriously aggrieved by these more Fecent Wrongs owes it a8 oty to herself to use all proper means to sid the civil au- thoriiies in arresting and bringiog to speedy trial aod punishs ment the perpetrators of them, and also t) see to it in so far as sbe can that a fair and fmpartic] trial is awarded to these colored people who were thus assaulted at the camp o Skip- ley's Woods, a number of whom have already been arrested and throwa icso the jail in Anne Arundei County, s S TENNESS - —— A COLORED MAN MURDERED—A PANIC ON ACCOUNT OP THE CHOLERA.
