After nn honest, conscientious, and
unWaftmti ftinvy of the politlool field
—:.fur weeks of research nnd investi-
K :, ti< n—after carefully weighing the
opinions of wis r heads than ours, and
placing the evi lence of Loth Northern
nnd Southern newspapers in the bal
ance, we have arrived at the-following
conclusions, and though our platform
may at present be partly submerged
beneath the waves of discord and
strife that radical rulo has brought up
on tnc country ; we yet hope to see the !
daj' that it will rise and overshadow
e erything that breathes of wrong.
Ist. A united South, in this hour of
peculiar trial. And to this end we
wou’d imploie these who are steeling
their hearts against their neighbors and
friends on account of different political
views, to pause and allow reaeea to 1
Jestime her sway.
2d. 1 he Union as it was—the Consti
tution as it w as framed and interpret
tea hy our lathers. We stake onr all
upon this Constitution; nnd feel assur
ed that, though now trampled under
the uuiiallow< and leet of IKmagogucs,
ind oisregarded by au illegal Uou
gress, which for u time sways the
parse ard sword of this mighty na
tion , it sill yet rise up and shine ns in
days of vote For, in it is embodied
thiee principles of truth and jus iee,
which “crush! dto the earth will ri.ee
again.”
Upon the ofi asserted :.nd undenia- 1
Lie ground,that the bills bringing about'
t e Convent'on are contrary to the spirit
and le ter of ibis Constitnti n, one cal-!
cula'ed to destroy the very fottndutions !
of that glorious structure of Govern-'
ment which was erected hy such pa- ;
tri ts as Washington, and whose cor
ner stone is Liberty, we shall enter thei
ranks of that army who oppose ti e'
measure, and though this valiat t army'
be small in numbers now, we shall ex ;
]>ect to s: e its ultimate triumph ; and!
with an unaltered Constitution for it»j
guide and banner, to hear its tramp!
re echoed from Ma'ne to California ;
and every Sta e, and every Teiri'ory, \
nnd every District or section *vi bin the
bounds of the United States, welcome
and laud its V-Wans as the presorv
ers of ibe Republic.
Le! the true nun of tha North,
though in the minority n.w, still stund
up for the right—still bold up and ex
pose the glaring infamy, tho miserable
corruption of Radical misrule. Let
the true men ot the South vote in sol
id phalanx * against Convention,” that
our record may be clear—that our
names may bo banded down to poster
ky not as time servers, but as patriots.
And though this war between migb
and right should last until cur heads
are gray- yea, until we totter and full
into the tomb—let our exantp'es of
fortitude and persevereDce encourage
coming generations to curry on the
g’orioos battl ng, until truth shall con
quer, and a nation of true Americans
shall rise up to call us h'cased.
But let us be united. While we
honestly oppose Cenvent.ou, let us be
magnanimous enough to respect the
opinions of other true men who difier
with us. While we can scarcely hope
to see a convention defeated now, we
»o vote as to keep our reeord clear in
the future. (And here we would siy
to those who are qualified and yet re*
fuse to legister, that there can be no
neutrality upon this question. Posteri
ty w ill judge you by your record, and
if you have no record on this question,
your negligence to strive for the pros
perity of the land, wi.l be condemned
in like manner as those who unite with
the Dcstructionists.) Now, whether
we vote for or against a Convention,
let us see to it that by some previous
consideration, we are ready to unite
in placing upon our tickets the names
of good men
'While the minions of Radicitlism are
organizing and uniting amongst us, we
feel that it is time for ac tion on our
part also. Let us organize, at and select
such men as we are wiling to trust,
if a Convention is forced upon us.
Our rear is closed. We march in
solid column. Let the Radical spiders
spirt their venom at us.
Tub Neoho North —Notwithstand
ing the cods ant blowing through the
Northern aewepspers about the riotous
South, almost every day we see accounts
es either political proscription or indi
vidual persecution in tho North. A
terrible riot occured in Quincy, Illinois
last week, in which one negro was kill
ed, and colored crowd generally worsted.
There was also a considerable row be
tween U S. Soldiers and negroes in
lowa. Yesily, the inhabitants of
“God’s land,’’ l>ve in glass bouses on
the African question.
Those who “can’t sac the pint’’ in
Joe Brown’s advocacy of reconstruction
can do so by going to Atlanta. It’s
“one of the best buildirgs iu the city.”
T!»«* Power of Tintii-tVIm!
the South has <loue for Pence.
Hon. 13. 11. Ilill, in one of his able
papers, gives- the following recital of
what the Fouth lias done for peace:
“No princip'es ate butter settled, or
more in consonance with natural rea
son nnd public, justice ; no terms were
! ever more distinctly declare 1 as the
i purpose of w aging the war, or more
sacredly promised as the eondi.ions of
the peace; and no surrendering people
ever did more promptly, more abso
lutely, more submissively, or with fine
tenth the sacrifice of property and
hope and feeling, comply with all
tho terms demanded mt their part,
than did tho Southern States and peo
ple. They laid down their arms; they
gave up the great principles of gov
ernment which their fathers taughl
them never to yield, and to maintain
which they hud fhugbt so long and en
dared so much p though already im
poverished they gave up four bil ions
more of property —the descended pat
rimony of eenturies ; they struck the
fetters from their own consent, and,
with words o' encouragement and
hope, gave the free slaves, by their
own laws, absolute civil equality with
their former ewnera; they abided,
without complaint or claim, the burn - j
ing of their cries-;.tha devastation of j
their home*;. the destruction of the j
food for their women and children, and
a thousand' oSber ao's of war which ro
civilized code will justify, arid no civil
ized precedent will mitigate; they
changed their organic laws and rodi
gtsted their mtmic pal code? to con
form to '.lie new order of thing?.—
They repudiated the obligations and
contracts they had assumed' to their
own people and to mankind, to secure
help In whet they Hact deemed'a strug
gle for liberty and life. They hazard
ed a social revolution and paralysis of
every form of labor, which might well
have awed the most thrifty people, and
the most firmly established society
All these things they dkb and suffered
to show good faith in fulfil ing the ob
ligations of their surrender, to main
tain the Constitution and preserve th
Union.
“Yet two long years hare elapsed,
and they have not been permitted to
enjoy a single privilege, nor suffered
to escape a sir gle burden of that Un
ion ! Nay, while waiting to receive
what was so eurnesJy, so sacredly
promised —their recognition as contin
uing equals in the Union—they have
seen swarms of agents of tho United
States permeating every neighbor
hood of ti eir land, and stealing, in the
narno and by the permits of tho Gov
ernment, and carrying away their cot
ton and oil,ft remaining means with
which they bud hope'll tp begin the re
cuperation of their condition ; aC<l they
see continued among them a I ybrid in
stitution, born in war and unknown to
the constitution, with a cr vvd of offi
cers to execute its functions, many ol
whom make companions of their for
mer ilaves to foment hatred to South
ern whites, and some of them find mis
tresses among their former slaves, and
use their offices to levy black mail on
all classes for their support. And all
these things, und more, our poop’e
boar, and speuk about only in whis
pers, lest by resisting and resenting
the outrages of even robbers and vag
abonds, they furnish to those robbers
and vagabonds the prttence for the
charge of a lingering spirit of rebellion
against the Government!’’
Mr. Stephen.—The Augusta Con
stitutionalist discredits the opinions
and views ascribed to Mr. Steph.ns
by one Swinton, a correspondent of
the New York Times, and adds : ‘Wo
caution tho public to receive this letter!
and all similar contributions with
large grains of allowance. We have
reason to so caution; and, once for all,'
declare that Mr. Stephens is not re j
sponsible for ideas purport 1 ng to have!
come from him , utdos over his name 1
or by bis sanction. At the proper tune I
the people of Georgia will hea" from
him wiiotn they have always delight
ed to honor, and in whom they still
confide. NYe believe that time to be
not fur distant, and pray Heaven may
vouchsafe him the necessary strength
and illumination to make his words
worthy of himself ana wor hy ol bis
country.”

a letter to Judge Underwood declining

Mini I Wo Organize f
The Chronicle <£• Sentinel of the Ist
has a lengthy nrtic'o urging the impor
tance of the thorough organization of
tho Conservative par yof Georgia. It
is a slimng appeal to the true men of
the Stale. Tho conclusion of the ar
ticle says : “The conservative element
in the South n u*t oruanize. The
linos of our enemy ure too strong and*
compact to be broken by the fpnsrr.od
ic efforts of a skirmish lino. Wo must
hurl against them the solid columns of
organized freemen. Without organi
zation the efforts of tho Conservat ves
wilt be frittered away In individual at
tacks w hich cob effect no important or
permanent good-.
In (very county and district in the
State the lovers of Constitutional free
dom should establish a party organize
tion. based upon the Constitution of
the United States, founded ttprn equal
rights nnd equal representation.
The Conservative element in Geor
gia is largely in the ascendent, and,
with proper organizati. n, cun eon'rol
the action of the State. But wo can'
not afford to divide upon minor issues.
The great question which we have to
decide, is- whether Radical emissaries,
in combination with a few Africanized
whites, shall throw against us the sol •
id vote of the colored people, and de
liver the State over the Radical
with the white people bound hand and
foot. We must make opposition to
this scheme the rallying cry ol our or
gamzation.
We propose, as the only way in
which trnceestr eaß be made absolutely
certain, the formation of a Constitu
tional Union Party in the South, to
be kepi entirely free (for the present,
at least ) from any entangling aliianee
with either of the existing parlies at
the North. The better to secure the
effectiveness and solidity of such a
party, we earnestly suggest the assem
blage, at an early day, of a State Con
vention, to be held at Feme convenient
point, say Macon or Atlanta, to be'
composed of delegates from each coun
ty in the State, selected hy those who are
opposed to the Radical Rtpulilican Par
ty, without regard to differences of opin
ion on the question of Convention or no
Contention.
W e earnestly invite the attention of
the Conservative press to this subject,
and hope that each will give their
views npon this important suggestion.
The Alabama Conservatives are mov
ing in this direction, and we honesdy!
believe that our own safety depeuda,
in a large degree, upon the decision
which our people may make upon this
question. Let us hear from you, gen
tlemen of the Cooseruutive press.
Arrest or tub Traitor .Lopez
From a f rivute enrrespon It nt at Mon
terey, we learn of the arrest of the
lr : ,;‘or Lopez l>y the Governor of Oax
aca HeSitj'.? : “Ilia treason to the
Emperor purchased Lis from
the supreme Liberal Chief Juarez ; l-’
it by no means purchases his ransom
from the bloody talons of the Gover
nor of Oaxaca. The against him
said to bo sufficient to convict, and
the prevailing opinion here is that he
will be executed, which God grant
may be true.” The charges against
Lopez are of an atrocious character,
and, whethei trumped up or true, are
just such as might be expected to be
char ;ed against a traitor.
The Neoboes in lowa.— A dispatch
from Chicago says; There was a
fight at Burlington, lowa, yesterday,
between the whites and the negroes,
w ith about thirty on each side. The
negroes used pistols, but were finally
overpowered, only two persons were'
seriously injured. It is hard to tell'
which party was to blame. No nr
reris have yet been made. Further
trouble is apprehended, as the negroes
say they will be even with the v bites
before many days A collision is fear
ed on Thursday, whin a negro eman
cipation celebrution will be held.
That Nomination. —Tho nomina
tion of Gen. Grant for the Pre idem-y
by a New T urk Soup Committee,
turns out to have been a small affair
alter all. The General must make
; arringements to be brought forward
under more favorable auspices, if he
I hopes tor anything like a decent
chance.
Savannaii. — The News & Herald
of the 2d says the leading wholesale
merchants of that place, in anticipation
of a heavy fall trade, are making large
importations from the other side of the
water, which will enable them to sup
ply their patrons from tho interior at
New York prices.
llow to Catch Them.— The Fedcr
al Ueion suggests to Tax Receivers to
examine the registry list, and take
down the names of the negroes who
have registered, and expect to vote.
Lots of them hava not and will not pay
their taxes, and they could be caught at
the polls by this meats- We reiterate
the suggestion, and beg our cxchaDgig
to pass it around.

Ti e Washington currespt n lent of
the Charleston Cuvrwr expresses the
opinion that rny fnric step by our gov
ernment at tl w crisis, in relation to
Mexico, may lend to serious complica
tions'. He pays; If the United fcjta'es
Government taka any active part in the
movement for the support of the Liber
als against other rising faetionv, it will
be held to aecouut by European powers
for participating in the murder of Maxi
milian, As .Mexico is invulnerable and
irresponsible,. European powirs will
hardly undertake to obtain any satisfac
tion from her own ancctmt of her inso
lent disrrgard of civilized usages. But
with the United States it is different.
They can it fl.ot punrabracat upon us
through our commerce,- or by blockad
ing or burning our cities, and other
means, 1? we give them offeusp, by es
pausing the cause of Escobedo and Jua
rez;
If wo go much further in assuming
all the responsibility for the murder of
Maximilian and for the decree i-sued
by Escobedo for putting to death ail
strangers, we shall have all civilize 1 na
tions combined in hostility to us. Ro
mero, the Mexican Juarez Minister,
who has be n supported here by the
speculators in “concession” from the
Juarez government, urged and advocat
ed the execution of Maximilian several
weeks beforo we had the intelligence of
his capture : and last night in some re
ply to congratulations from a deputation
of the “Grand Army of the Republic”--
an association which Greeley has prop
erlv characterized—he vindicated this:
aot.
The “Grand Army” would invade
Mexico at once, under pretense of sup
porting Liberal cause, if they could be
assured of the priviledge of plundering
whatever remains of the wealth'cf the
cities that favored a stable government,
such as was expected from the adveut
of Maximilian, and might have been
secured but from the position- taken by
the United States.
The filibusters of the Northern States
who propose to aid* the Liberals, have a
project of raising a very large force of
negro cavalry to do their work for
them in Mexico.- By celerity cf move
ment they expect to be able to rob the
eburohes, harbors, haciendas, and con
duetas in Mexico before a recruiting
force can be organised.-
Tlie Tennenee ileCtiaif.
The seattcriog returns and reports
from Tennessee, says the Atlanta Intel
ligencer, indicate the re-election ot
Brownlow by a large muj ri'y of tie
votes polled. So that unless the Lord
should take a liking to the amiable old
blossom and remove him from this world
of tin and sorrow, the people of that
State arc to be afflicted for two years
more, as no other people were ever af
flictcd.
Our readers will hardly be interested
in details, but we give them as far as
they are to hand :
In Knoxville Brownlow has a mnj >r-
Itv The negroes voted for him
solid.
In Knox counfy, &8 Ta» , as heard from
his majority is over 1,500 GreeCv.'.' e
gives him 80 majority Jonesboro 188.
Nine districts in MeMinn county give
him 527 majority. Bradley county
gives Brownlow a majority of 800. A
report from Nashville says Bvowblow’s
majority in that city is over 3000.
Guattanocgo, heavy far Brownlow.
There are other reports, but the
above is suffhient to indicate the result.
A Noble Woman. —A letter from
Mexico says : Col Miguel L >pi z, the
traitor, after selling Maximilian and his
(lencralr, went to Puebla to visit his
wifo. His reception was decidedly cold.
His wife advaooed to meet him, leading
their littlo son by tho hand, and address
ed him thus: “Sir, here is’your son;
we cannot cut him iu two, take him.
You are a base coward and a traitor.
You have betrayed your county au i
your benefactor From this hour we
are strangers, for I shall this day re
tire to my family. Go.’’
Strong Testimony. —ln-a speech de
livered recently at Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, Fred. Douglats said that all
the white men were alike responsible
for slavery and equally guilty, and the
black man’s pretended friends among
them were no better than tho rest. lie
said he was once pulled out <fa coach
iu Boston for the fault ol being a black
man.
Atlanta is building an Opera House
which promises to “throw iD the shade”
all other structures ol the kind in the
“land of reconstruction.'* Tno papers
of that city say it is one hundred by one
hundred an fifty feet. The fourth story
will be completed by the middle of
September, ready for the roof; and by
the first of next- year they expect to
witness upon its stage the brightest

inaugurated, and especially by one of
the most intelligent and conservative
communities in the State. It
is an indisputable fact the negroes
will be educated, and the question fur
Southern people is, whether they shall
be educated in the truth or in ctror.
To say nothing of what is duo to that

involved to induco our people at once

Quinct, 111 , July 24—A colored
prayer meeting was being held last Sat
urday evening in the building knowu as
