Ftm*V verf, BttW faith in National Conventions; bwtatiU, the suggestion is from a some that en tities it to ifrhjteet, wvlwe, therefore, give it a place $ ow columns, ap4 commend it to the atteatioa of ear Jpsmpis genet rally, aod cmr ponwjotarfj: ! What Saw us'em Some DoV This is now Urn groat disturbing ques tionos orators aod t)re.fp>Uful sniyect of the editorials of the press. A multitude of theories hare been sprung, and inname* rable plans suggested, for tbe settlement of the the Cooetilotional Amendtpent, to the total destruction of Ihtf Son them gov crnments apd tbe ruin of tbe Southern people. It is conceded that the South ern States ape now at thq mercy of an intolerant tift apgMsMre majority,'who have nnrestrained.cputroLof the |ejps|a tion of the couafry,-and frdtn whtfm little if any It is now certain that tmrcmfstiradhlml Arncndmcaf sqjaofed, ap4 sjtfc, gestion iB. xJa,#s> ,to what alternative, proposition tioagmss will presenta« the condition of reetocwtie*. -The South in the meantime stands upon the defensive. So long as \j,-«s conceded that 4 is .ne cessary that amendments of the Coasti* tntion Age*, fourths of the States to give them legality, anil that, the Southern States must, for this purpose, be counted in the Union, those States can ' defeat any amendment prestootqd te then).,,fiut,it is not unliteljr thit‘“the ‘ resiles* and aggressive sjiirit of Radiqnlmm ,mgy prompt the Jacobin party to desist from attempts Unonaetoltilre Costdhitntion nnd resort to direct legislation to*accomplish their vindietiyp. spumes. In that event' thp Sooth wodW hare no protection, and her best would be summarily sacrificed. If the Jacobin party coutipqep to ptogfess as rapidly in the path of fanaticism as it has done for tbe past twelve mouths, it will soon arrive at point at which it will be subAitdted for the roqnfrettfedts and guarantees of the Constitution, and Congress will become the supreme ruling power without regard to the other departments of the Government. This result is, it possible, to bo avoided. If there is any chance .for an honorable adjustment of the national difficulties, it should he tried. The welfare of thp people, anctfhe priffepefrit/of the nation, alike demand that there shall be a re CO- c Jiatiou between the rival' and op posing sections. There is. not as much difference between the ‘ idterfests t>f the two sections as the present estrange ment would indicate, and it is much easier to come to a satisfactory under standing than most people suppose. The proposition has been recently made, and we notice has been dis cussed within the last few days at some length, and rfith muvh ability, by Judge Nicholas, in the columns of the journal, that a National Constitutional Conven tion shall called at art-early day for the purpose'of revising the Constitution and incorporating such amendments as may be cvemed necessary to conform the Government to the changed condi tion of things 'growing oat of the war. We are disposed* to favor the proposi tion tor many important reasons. . First. Because in such a convention the voice of the South would be heard both in arguments for its rights and irt protest against its wrongs and the Schemes o the Jacobin leaders. Second. The delegates elected to such a convenuSti'wdtuhl cetne fresh from the people, fully advised of their views, and would thorelbfe fairly represent their opinions, limy would to untratnmeled by the desire fyr re election,. and their action would be directed rather to the public good that* to the interests of party. Third. Such" a T)o3y would represent the whole natjon dad all bf its lUOftl- interests, and would be, it nip flu. eticed by party schemes, and would, in all probability, be both honest and inde pendent. It would take for its sterling point the fact that the good of both sec tions, and the prosperity of the nation, required the restoration ot the Union, and that snol >re Jforkktofr Mould rest upon the bf' the eqaulity of the States and itiatjee of ihe aeetimis. r . 'fftha. Constitution adopted by such a body was not accept ed it could be rejected by the vote of one State over one-fourth of the whole number of r j3|ie fi'oajh wo Jd consequently b<s iH lie danger of losing 1 any right by going into such a conven tion, while the North would lose none of its power. *’ If nolhiltg Satisfactory be agreed on, both shettohs' would be left in thefpy££Vf4.Att>Cti<te in Wluch fhej>. stand now. r jf’,’- Fifth. The personal association and the visrws of the pepre«en-j tativc men *of the two sections result in the adoption of a constitution which woiM, I*3. gooecallir,. Atwentqhler and whiclifw&§Ul featoro the century to peace and harmony, and amply secure the rights of all. Surely no fair pr plausible .argument can bo made against-such a proposition. Such a convention.could do no hurt if jt did no gobd, white the probabilities are thnt its retails would'be eminently bene ficial. The constitution provides that Con gress shall, upOwtbd application of the legislatures’of tvomuu, 01 the several bwtus, cat! a eutventiou for-proposing amendments, which, when ratified by three fourths of |h« States, shall beepnp, a part or parts-of the (institution. ' Now suppMre- that tbd legislatures of the ten excluded States, together with Kentucky and MaryljUid. which would constitute one this# of tlie Hiatus, should pntposo tliiit such a coiivchUos should be called, could the Northern States, or at least a sufficient nutnbdr 61 them to make up the necessary two thirds, re fuse to unite in the tall? 'Vhat epeuse could they ofi'or to tiu country and to the world fuf titeir . rglusal/ ihc very fact that they now feel under constitu tional obligations to submit constitu tional amsiKlnients to the excluded tSlates for their approval is an admission 'that they have the right to participate in the formation auil atuatlduieiil of the organic law, and if through their legts, luturcifp then why i»ot iu othci' of amcndmettl prescribed hy the const! tution through u national constitute: al —■*— - - ■ == conventual.

This is the purtbf-WiadWn and Mould be practiced. On this point th* Provi dence (4* t) Pntfmfrr- x While We are careful to impress upon children ! *4 mmi* i» generally coiisioerea as xm -abstract idea. The topic has prttfthml Value. There is a mistaken view prevalent in this country,-Mat only a professional or mercan tileTa?eer & honorable of digni fied. .Hen who by honest industry at the workbench, or .as.tillers of the soil,, have acquired a competence, are anx ious that their sons should avoid, the dull at|d weary road to affluence which they have trodden, and henoe place them in some mercantile establishment, or direct them toward the rugged trrid disappointed paths of a professional career. In cousequence of Mis too often fatal,mistake, their sons, on whom thqy had lavished the wealth of their affection, and whom they had proudly hcrad would rise to speedy affluence anu eminence, falter und fail from the outset, and either leave their business for some! more congenial occupation or pass thejr lives in disappointment and mediocrity. The playt uict is, that' as a people we despise manual labor. We glorify it in our leetureal We eulogihe it iu our colleges, we chant ft* praises in our social gatherings, but after all are not earnest and sincere. Society closes its doors upon the artisan. There is mqch truth in this; but much depends, also, upon the working men themselves. They must improve, themselves —they must make themselves worthy of the reipect and fellowship of the good and th« intelligent. This they, can do by sobriety, by industry, and by fostering; among themselves,; educa tional, literary, and social institutlphs. I bis is the doty of th,e .mechanic, Me artisan, and the working man; atfd performing this duty, sbclsty must award this respect to which they, are entitled. | As the Press truthfully con tinues : ; 1 ’* ■, >'.Wd rpast honor labor and the laborer/ It is nod degrading to clasp tHa 5 ! hard and honast hand of th» l workmai)| It is an honor to have such an one'among us. Such men are the bo no and sinew of the 1 country. They Ihcfe»h«_ its wealth ; they cover the land with thp. evidence* br prosperity ; lHaj aye the' best representatives of a true national character. No man. in this ,qg. in.. apy.; other eouatry d'an affect to despise she laborer without proving his owa little ness and igUoruuca. It is the best evi dence of l igfaoblc -origin. 1 -'The subject is on* Worthy of cbngid ; , ; ecatiou, one in which both, sides must take an active interest. Labor must be respected and encouraged, and it. must .make itself respected, A double duty Is involved, and all, concerned should perform it eheerfuHy and with alacrity. This is Weecseary to the Wei-' sere and preepqrity of the- country, and more particularly in Hs present COfi » ' , . ■ Rklioious PubFgflstoNl—The Sisters of Mercy* do not seem to be tehindhand. ’AI the revival qaestion.
