There i* <>no “plunk" in tho l’hilutlel-

that the Radical response to tbia rosoln-

At 10 oVloek A. xc. tha Dau.oorsticHtate

gether to relieve the country from the in
tolerable thraldom of radical oppression.
Divisions uud difference* of opinion
might exist in car ranks, but all good
Democrats should harmonize for the com-
tuon go-.d. We bed a hold, unscrupulous
enemy to encounter, despotism to put
down, and the rights of the people and
States to restore. Union and co-opera
tion, therefore, were indispensable if we
cherish any hope of aucceaa. Thanking
the Convention for the honor conferred,
he then announced the meeting ready for
business.
Col. Btjles moved that a committee of
three from each Congressional District be
appointed to recommend suitable men aa
permanent officers of the 0 invention.
Pending auy action, however, a call of
the counties waa ordered, and the names
of delegates duly enrotlad. The resolu
tion of Mr. Btylas then came up and was
adopted,and the committee on permanent

Tho long ooQtiuued Radical warfare, iu
n liiue of so-called peace, upou the Houth-
rrn States ntni people, has beou defended
by the plea (lint the Southern people would
not accept the situation—still manifested
tho temper of “rebellion," Jto. It was all
the time apparent thut this was a mere
party pretext—that it was the refusal of
the white people of tho South to accept
the Jiudietd jutrl// which caused tho oou-
tinned war upou them. This fact has
siow been demonstrated beyond dispute.
A considerable portion of tho Republioou
party—the “Liberals," who were reully
tired of Hectioual strifes and continued
usurpations—withdrew from the Graut or
Radical wing, adopted a platform dis
tinctly accepting the settlements of the
war and the constitutional amendments
enforced by the Republican party, and
nominated candidates for the Presidency
nud Vice Presidency who oould not pos
sibly bo accused of sympathy irith tho
“rebellion" or a dcsiro to restore tho po
litical conditions that existed prior to the
war. This Liberal Republican platform
tho Democrats of tho South generally de
clare their williugneaa to accept, and
these Liberal Republican nominees the
large majority of the Democrats of the
South are willing to support if thereby
they can defeat the Radical party whoso

dic*t« d the excitement uuder whioh hs
was laboring. Ho most strenuously op
posed any term of enlistment less than

a good deal nf noDe in the chamber, and
tbu noise irritated M. Thiers, ss well as
tho rnurktd impatience with wrhich he was
listened to, allowing his anger to got the
better of him. “If you do not vote for

deeply afflicted." This phrase produced
a painful impression iu the house. Gen.
