LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
' ACOUS'f A. t»A.«
FRIDAY MORNING Aug. 17.1866
The Philadelphia Convention.
We do not deem it just or proper that
we should criticize the action of the
Philadelphia Convention until its labors
have been completed, and some idea can
be reasonably formed of its results. It
is, however, gratifying to us to learn
that so mnch harmony prevails in its
counsels, and that no disturbance has
occurred to interrupt the proceedings or
disgrace its action. The withdrawal of
Vallandigham and Wood reflects the
highest credit upon those gentlemen.
We have all aloug believed them to be
patriots, and their action in this instance
only serves to convince us in this belief.
They will be kindly remembered in the
future by their countrymen, when the
clouds of fanaticism shall have been
swept away, and the sun of peace and
justice shall illumine the land once
more, if that happy time should ever
come.
We confess that we have hut little
hope for the future of our country. We
fear that Radicalism has taken too deep
a hold upon the people of the North to
loose its grasp while in the zenith of its
power. Holding, as it does, the im
mense patronage of place and power,,
controlling the offices and the finances of
the country, with even the Supreme
Court of the United States in its em
ploy, what chance is there for patriotism
nnd conservatism to resume their sway?
We sincerely hope that we may be mis-
taken in our views, and that "the sober
second thought” of the people may se
cure a happier result. When the Fall j
elections take place, we shall then he ■
better able to judge whether the South
is to groan under the weight of despot,
ism for years to come, or whether the
Union is to be really reconstructed and
harmony restored. It may be that the
Philadelphia Convention will be able to
work good in this way. Its Northern
members, on returning to their homes,
will be able to enlighten their people as
to the views of the Southern delegates,
and correct the falsehoods which Radi
calism has so assiduously and so effec
tually inculcated. And if the proposed
Soldiers’ Convention should be held in
September at Cincinnati,the work of dis
pelling error and rectifying wrong may
he still further aided and encouraged.
If these efforts of the Conservative
masses fail, then we may “bid farewell,
an eternal farewell, to all our great
ness”—to all our hopes ol peace and
restoration. If the next Congress is
Radical, the President will be im
peached, the burthens of taxation will
he increased, and negro suffrage forced
upon us. If the President succumbs,
our section is lost; if, on the other hand,
he refuses to recognize the disloyal and
tyrannical faction known as Congress, a
revolution will be precipitated upon the
country, the results of which cannot now
be well anticipated.
These are gloomy forebodings and
predictions, and, perhaps, wo had better
not give them publicity ; but it is the
duty of the faithful sentinel on the
watch-towers of Liberty to Bound the
alarm, and give timely notice of ap
proaching danger. Aud it is better,
too, that our people should be prepared
for the worst, for he that is "foreVarned
is forearmed,” and when the trouble
comes, if it should unhappily come at
all, we shall all be better prepared to
meet it, or to avoid it, as we may elect.
It is with these feelings that we express
our apprehensions for the future. We
have seen how rapidly Radicalism has
grown from the small seed to the great
tree, overshadowing the whole land, and
stunting the growth of every plant of
peace, industry, capital, prosperity, na
tional greatness, labor, and liberty ; and
it is reasonable to fear that that tree
cannot he eradicated without trouble-
Still, its roots may not be as deeply
fixed in the soil as they appear to be ;
and if the conservative people of the
North and South, will only give “a long
pull, a strong pull, and a pull alto
gether,” they may tear it up from the
ground, and scatter its branches to the
four winds. The work is worthy of an
honest and energetic effort, and we sin
cerely hope that it will be made. We
should all be willing and ready to give
it all the aid in our power. If the Coil,
vention does the good whiei. its iriends
anticipate for it, we shall greatly rejoice;
but its effects cannot be observed, in
our judgment, until the Fall elections
occur, until which time we should, as
we have already said, deem a criticism
of its action and its results, unjust and
improper ; and until which time we ad
vise our people to wait calmly and pa,
tie titly.
Propkrty Confiscated »y the Con
ff.imchatb States. The Judiciary
.Committee reported, some time since, a
bill to restore the possession of lands
confiscated by the authority of any of
the late Confederate States.
It makes it the duty of the President,
or the commanding officer of the mili
tary forces stationed within the particular
Slate or District, on complaint of any
person dispossessed of property for ad
herence to the cause of the Union,
to restore him to possession of the same.
This was denounced by Mr. Trimble
(Democrat), of Kentucky, as conferring
upon military officers authority to de
cide legal questions as to titles of real
estate, and, therefore, without warrant
of law. He, therefore, moved to lay
the bill on the table.
This motion was lost by a vote of 81
nays to 28 ayes. The bill was then
passed without a division.
The Southern Press. —The Rich
mond Times says there was never a
time when the Southern press was per
forming its duty to the South more vigi
lantly, fearlessly and usefully than now.
The evidence of this ability, fidelity and
efficiency can be found in the curses,
imprecations, groans aud yells of all the
detected, flagellated and exposed petty
military tyrants, unworthy judges )
thievish cotton agents, and mousing
agents of the Freedmen’s Bureau, who
were turned loose to prey upon the
Southern people before and at the end of
the war. But for the press, these harpies
would have stripped our people as bare
ns a pack of cayotes devour the carcass
of a buffalo.
Rights of Natcrai.ized Citizens in
the Land of Their Birth. —A late
dispatch from Nashville says:
A correspondence has taken place
between the Secretary of State and a
lawyer of this city, about the rights ot
naturalized citizens of the United States
in foreign countries. Mr. v ward re
plies that the subject of the rio-ht of nat
uralized citizens of the United States to
exemption from military prescription iu
the countries of their birth, is the sub
ject of correspondence. Until some
agreement upon principles on the sub
ject has been arrived at, the only thing
the United States Government can do
in the way of interposition is to direct
its diplomatic agents to exert their
good offices in such cases when they
occur. France is the exception to this
condition of things, and it is only ne
cessary for a Frenchman, who lias been
fully naturalized in the United States,
ou his return to France, to report at
once to the prefect of the district in
which his name is enrolled, prodneing
his evidence of nationality, and ask to
have his uaine erased from the conscrip
tion list, when, according to the laws of
France, he is exempt from military ser
vice.
—Colonel Withers advertises in the
Jackson, Mississippi, pacers that he has
an enormous amount of European cap.
ital, which lie is ready to advance upon
tlie growing cotton crop, and proposes
to buy in lots of one bale to one
thousaud bales. [Will colonel Withers
please extend the field of operation
in this direction? We know several people
about here who are very much in search
of “adtances.”]
—They have an affectionate teacher
in a high school for young ladies that we
wot of. One day a roguish maiden of 16
summers broadly violated some rule of
school. The teacher thought it a plain
case for discipline. He called her to him,
argued the case to her with great se
riousness and earnestness—kissed her
and asked her if she was not sorry. She
said she was; thereupon her sin was for
given. How great is the power of kind
ness.—Portland Argus.
