The Worlds Convention does not seem to make
much progress in affairs. Il has now been in SEES
sion near week, and no system for the omellora-
ton of mankind in general, and Of southern slaves
in particular, has been adopted resolution has,
however, been introduced, recommending the mn
mediate circulation Of petitions TO the governor for
the release OF the antirenter, Mr.. Big Thunder,
from the State prison--he belonging TO their fra
ternity. member proposed 10 include in the pc
tilion Mr.. Babe, the pirate, who stands sentenced
to be hanged some time during the present year.
1t was thought this was carrying the joke little
too far; and both projects, alter being laughed at by
the members, were laid under the table. Justice is
overtakng these antl-ren gentlemen very rapidly; and
ifthey expect that Gov Wright will exercise the par
donng power in their behalf they will find themselves
very much mistaken. Van Steenberg who was pres
en at the time sheriff Steele shot, has been found
guilty of murder. What an awful responsibility
rests upon those wicked and corrupt individuals,
who would, for the sake of a little political advan-
tage delude and urge TO destruction these iniat-
uated men. If those Immediately engaged in re-
ssting the laws OF the State are guilty, and worthy
of the seyerest punishment, how much more do
those deserve punishment, who, standing aloof from
all danger, at the head Of powerful party, with
press at their CONTROL urge these men to deeds of
villany and wrongl Of such is Mr. Greedy, OF the
Tribune. With one Of its victims sent to the State
prison for life, the sentence of death ready 10 be
pronounced against another, yet the Tribune will
not discover its wicked errors, but the editor appears
to glory in its wickedness and publishes in his pa
per of this day the following outrageous appeal:

Some of your best have fallen! Some are in dead

Enough of this have had already--therefore
every man of you keep within the law. But up
and onward ! By the cold and the hunger of the
human race-by their rags and their houseessness
by their filth and debasement-by oil the bitter
inheritance that has been flung to them not by the,
indugent FATHER, but by unchristian and inhumor
men--falter not! feint not! Great is the work be-
