4l1)C Sailj City Printer—Official Paper LARUE AT CITY CIRCULATION. A Ij g' nH T A • Or A. t SATURDAY MORNING ... Aug. 11, IM6 The True Policy of the South. The IJuitimyre IVanscript very sen sibly remarks (and we approve of the remarks so inucli that we adopt them as our own,) that it is undoubtedly true that u marked difference has always existed in the degree of importance attached to public life in the North and in the South, in the former, the leading intellects have devoted themselves to domestic interest and the improvement of their individual welfare. With few exceptions they have disdained the distinctions and emolu ments of Federal office. A professional arena has been preferred to a political, or, where ambition has prompted a pub lic career, the State has been selected for the theatre of action instead of the Union. The genius of DeWitt Clinton would have illusirated the councils of any na tion, but he devoted it to his native Commonwealth, and made New York ihc Empire State, and her principal city the metropolis of the continent. It is very rare, indeed, that the North ever has, or does now, send first-class men to Congress, or men who could get their living in any other way. Practically, the North has been the State Rights sec tion, whilst the South, thoroughly State Rights, has been practically Federal; because sjje has neglected the develop ment of her own section to manage the affairs of the nation. Her great men have considered the learned pfofess'rins mere stepping-stones to political honors; and whilst this is perhaps a more mag nanimous ambition, and has immensely advanced the prosperity and prestige of the General Government, it has con signed to impoverishment and decay her domestic interests. If she had pursued a different course the world might never have heard of many of her illustrious names, but talents which have been so conspicuous and so advantageous to the nation, devoted to Stale development would have secured to the South the more substantial elements of prosperity, numbers, and power. It may, therefore, prove far front an uumixed and impossible calamity if dr- 1 eumslanees compel the South to abandon ; the worse than profitless pursuit of Fed- j era! politics, and consecrate its great i 1 lb'ies to the grand and worthy object ts de'doping its vast and varied re sources. Plain and available highways to strength and prosperity are still open to it in every department of peaceful 1 productive enterprise. With such a territory, such productions, and facili ties for manufacturing atul commercial, as well as agricultural, wealth—-with such minerals and water power, such rivers, such harbors, such a Climate and such a people—the South may yet be come the most prosperous and powerful section of thi.-j Union, if she will only abstain from looking for prosperity and power where she has never found them in the barren and thorny domains of politics, and pick them up where they are lying in heaps of priceless gems and j rubies—at her very feet. The Louisiana Convention of 1864. j Some of the Radical papers are en- I deavoring to make considerable capital out of the late riots in Now Orleans, as an evidence of the unrepentant condi tion of Southern rebels, and the unfit ness of the South for reconstruction. We have already shown that the Con vention was an illegal body; that its re nssemblage was unauthorized ; and that the mob spirit was aroused by the Radi cals of the State, with Governor Wells at their head. By the following extracts wc propose to show, further, that the Radicals themselves did not approve of 'he Convention ; that they deemed it an illegal body, and its acts of no effect; and we hold that these expressions would be a sufficient justification of themselves for the indictment of the delegates by the Grand Jury, and their arrest and punishment by the civil authorities : What Sl-mxer, Ware and St evens ok Tin: Louisiana Radical Conven tion. —When the Louisiana members of Congress, elected under the Constitution framed by ibe Convention which was dispersed the other day, applied for ad mission to their seals, Mr. Sumner said: ‘ Mr. President, J remember lust sum mer that good fortune threw- me in the path of a distinguished gentleman just returned from Louisiana. J think he had been present, at the sittings of the Con vention ; at any rate, he had been at New Orleans at the time in the dis charge of important public duties. In reply to an inquiry in regard to that Convention, he said,compendiously, that it was nothing hut a .stupendous hoax— yes. sir, nothing but a-stupendous hoax. "The pretended State Government, of Louisiana is utterly indefensible, whether you look at its origin, or its character. Xu describe it I must use plain language : It is it mere seven months' ahortinn, be yotten by Ibe bayonet in criminal con junction with the s/n'i it i ) caste, and born before its time , ricketly , unformed, unfinished." In the same debate, Mr. Wade said t "Sir, I have heard a great deal about this pretended election in Louisiana which did not couie from Major General Ranks, und 1 pronounce the proceeding/ a mocker;/. It is r.ot pretended that there could he drummed up from the riff-raff of New Orleans, and sent into the vicinity, under the inundate of a Major General, more than about six thousand voters, where over fifty thou sand were formerly polled.’’ i Mr. Grimes and other Radicals spoke in the same strain, and, at the conclu sion of the debate, the Louisiana Con vention and its work were condemned by tbe decisive vote of thirty-two to twelve. In the House it was assailed by Thad. Stevens, Winter Davis, and their followers, with equal vigor and ferocity, and met. the same fate at the hands of the Radicals. And it is this object of theiy concentrated denunciation that they now take up to give u pretence of legality to Iheir conspiracy against peace and order in Louisiana!
